As you know I make a Holiday card

every week - Or at least try too --

I'm actually ahead this year!

Like really ahead! I've got 23 cards

done already and I only really need

about 60 of them - So I'm almost 1/2 way there

and it's only Mid February! Gotta Love that!

So, today's card is another holiday card

and it'll bring me up to 24 cards for

this year so far!! :)

This was so Quick & Easy to make! 
You Gotta LOVE those type of cards!

I'm using the Simple Stories (Classic Christmas) Collection set
The paper, Chipboard word, and Paper Embellishments

That's why it was so easy to put together! LOL

The Stitched Rectangle die is from My Creative Time
And the Stitched Angle Die is from Craftin' Desert Diva's
Rainbow Jewels are from Lucy's Cards

HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND!!!!

Celebrate Brightly...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How was your Weekend? Did you get 3 days off?

I did, so it was nice to get a bunch of stuff done

I'm still working on re-organizing my Dies and placing

them on Magnetic sheets - I'm almost done! So YAY for that!

I thought I would share my Next set of

Christmas cards with you --

There should have been only 2 cards - but for some reason

when I went to print the first set of 2 - one did not

print correctly - So I had to re-print them and I'm NOT

one for wasting space - So I just went ahead and printed out

2 more of the same design - So then I had 3 cards to make! :)

The image is from the Silhouette Store (MOD WREATH) #22994

and I got it when Silhouette was having their 50¢ Christmas Sale.

I used the Gina Marie Wonky Stitch Die to cut out

my Wreath image on these 2 cards - And the cardbase is

Melon Mambo from Stampin' Up -- I sprayed my images with some

Acrylic Sealer, before adding on some Clear Wink of Stella to the

bows and pink dots --

I attached the Wreath Image to some white Fun Foam then

attached them to my cardbase - I die cut the word

Celebrate (MFT) 4x's (2 for each card) and layered them

on top of each other, before placing on my card --

Then I stamped "This Christmas" from Hero Arts in the lower

portion of the card --- 

I also added some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards

to give it a little extra Sparkle!

Since this one was my extra card - I wanted it to be a little bit different 

So I die cut the Wreath Image out with a Scalloped Stitch Die

I used White Cardstock as my base, then I added a piece of Melon

Mambo, then I layered my image on top of that with some Fun Foam

I die cut the Celebrate word out 2x's for this one as well and

added the Same Sentiment as before -- I also sprayed

this with some Acrylic Sealer before using my Wink of Stella pen

and of course I added some Ice Cube Jewels too -- 

I really like all 3 cards - They are very different than my

"Normal" Christmas cards - The Bright Pink and Greens

just make this Happy & Fun!

Looks like 3 more cards completed in my collection!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS Day!!

Joy, Joy, Joy....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

Last year I challenged myself to make 1 

Christmas Card a week - until Mid. Oct - 1st of Nov.

Well, I did manage to get all my holiday cards

done and I labeled all the envelopes & had

them all stamped by Dec. 1st! YUP! It worked for me --

So this year I will continue with this same process -
the only thing is - I've already got 19 cards done! Say WHAT?

Well, since I finished all of mine early enough I still
had Design Team projects that needed to be made
for the holidays... so that got me a jump start on my
2018 Christmas cards! How crazy is that??

I'm so happy I did it though - it made me realize 
how stressful making your own cards can be during the holidays
and knowing that I'm doing them weekly throughout the year
really does add LESS STRESS!

So, today's cards (Yes more than 1) was
actually made the end of Nov. 
I found the image in the Silhouette Store
and then these quick cards came out of it --

Check them out --

I got 2 Regular cards and 1 Gift Card made - 

Here's my Simple Gift Card Holder -- This was actually a mistake when I was doing
the sizing in my Silhouette Program - Of course NOW it's a good mistake! LOL
The JOY image is (#230500) and the Scallop Card Shape is (#25782)
I went to cut the Scallop Card shape out and realized it was
NOT the size I wanted - but then I realized it could
totally work for a Gift card design and that's how this one came about!

Here's the inside of my holder --

I used the Jaded Blossom (Scallop Slider & Topper Die) to

make the slits for a gift card to sit inside of this

This was the actual size I was looking for when deciding to make the JOY Image

into a card - I had to enlarge everything before getting it to cut the size I wanted --

This actually opens just like the gift card, but on a Flat Card Base

I really like the fun way it opens and how I brought the JOY

inside the card as well -- I tried to find papers that matched

the Fun colors -- The inside sentiment is from 

My Craft Spot (which is no longer in business) 

This is the last Joy Card I made - Simple and easy to mass produce

if needed - But I'll  probably just stick with the ones I already made --

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the J, Y, Carrot Nose, & Ear Muffs on

ALL 3 projects - Before I did though - As I have an Inkjet Printer

I spray my paper with some Acrylic Sealer first and let Dry Completely

before adding any sparkle - otherwise, my images would fade out

when adding the wink of Stella on them - Just an FYI for you

I used Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards on all 3 projects

Other Products Used --

Cardstock - Recollections 110lb., Stampin' Up, Bazzill, Fun Foam

Designer Paper - MME & DCWV

Stitched Rectangle Die - MFT

Stitched Scallop Die & Smaller Rectangle die - Craftin' Desert Divas

Big Shot, Misti Tool, Canon Pro 9000 Printer, Cameo  3

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!
