Christmas Angel

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

YAY! It's the weekend yet again!

I'll make this a short post so you can

get on with your Weekend plans!

We all know it's November... which

means Thanksgiving is right around the corner

and so is Christmas! EEK! I'm sure some of you

probably haven't even started your Christmas cards yet!

Well... I'm trying to encourage you to get started

so here's an Elegant and yet quick Christmas card -

I used some beautiful Washi Tape for my design and a Gorgeous Angel die

from Gina Marie Designs - The Angel die was cut out 3x's for added 

dimension - I die cut a Vellum circle to put behind the Angel

so she wouldn't blend too much into the background -

My stitched Rectangle Frame is from My Creative Time

and it's all popped up on a piece of Fun Foam

Before anyone asks - I use Stick It Adhesive for my layering of the Angel -

I just add the stick it to a piece of white cardstock - then cut it down some

so it could fit into my Gemini Jr. - Saving the extra adhesive cardstock

for another time/project - :)

Here's the inside all done and ready to go!

I added a strip of the red glittered Washi tape and stamped

my sentiment with some Momento Tuxedo Black Ink in my Misti

The Sentiment is from My Craft Spot (No longer in Business)

Let me know in the comments if you started your Christmas cards already

OR If you're thinking about it but haven't started OR if You are

all done and ready to go like I am! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!

Celebrate America!

Hello & Happy 4th of July Everyone!!

I hope you're spending the day with

family & friends celebrating this Awesome

country we live in thanks to our AMAZING Military!!!

I have a Super quick post I want to share with you -

I made this for my Son who happens to be

an AWESOME Marine! 

The Background is a Star Stencil which I colored in with

Some Distress Oxides in Fired Brick & Mermaid Lagoon

Then I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it down to size

Then I laid down some Festive Washi Tape over top

I die cut out a couple of Your Next Stamp Stars

and laid them over the Washi Tape

Then I grabbed my Jaded Blossom (Celebrate America) Stamp set

and stamped (Red, White, & Blue) in the white smaller Star

Then die cut the stitched banner die from the Jaded Blossom

(Card Layer Die 2) set then Stamped the (Celebrate America)

on it in red & black ink - Popped it up, then took a piece of

Fun Foam to place behind my card front 

Then I attached the card front to my Navy card base...

Quick and Easy and ready to mail!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a Fabulous 4th!!!

Cas(ing) myself.. What??

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

How was your Easter Weekend???

Mine was very relaxing! I did NOTHING!

Well... I did craft a little bit and colored Easter Eggs

and watched some movies and just enjoyed the

beautiful 80 degree weather we're having -

I'm off today as well - we had a 4 day

Easter weekend - It's our last break before school

gets out next month! Can you believe school gets

out next month already! WOW! Where has the

time gone? It feels like we just got back from Winter break!

I thought I would share another CAS THANK YOU

card I made for one of the teachers at school -

She told me she gives out my handmade ones to people

she really really likes - I was honored she said that!

I used Washi tape on this one -

It's also a CAS(E) card from another card I made

I actually CASE'D myself! FUNNY!!

This is the original card 

I used different Washi tape and I angled it differently

I also used a Different Arrow word die and 

tilted it - I think both cards are awesome and

I'm very happy with how my CAS card turned out!

Supplies Used --

Cardstock - Recollections 110lb white, DCWV Blue Glitter, 

Stampin' Up, Fun Foam

Valentine's Day of course! :)
