Stars & Snowflakes...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

YAY, it's the weekend and I get to start

putting up my Christmas stuff! My hubby

thinks I'm nuts (as he always does) but it

doesn't bother me to get a Jump Start on things!

I reminded him that I spent the entire year making 

Christmas cards and now look -- They are ALL

done and ready to be mailed off - Whose Crazy Now???

Hahahaha - Okay maybe I still am a little bit but 

in a GOOD kind of way! Am I right?

As you guys know I went to a Holiday card making class

back in early October - and I'm sharing the cards

the Hostess made for everyone to make and then

my version of it, since I like to change things up -

Here's another card --

This is a side flip open card and it's lovely

in white, silver, & blue - even the embossing is pretty

But I didn't like the cardstock - We all have our 

favorites - am I right? So, after looking at this

card, I decided to go a different direction with mine --

YUP! No Side fold for me!! I went a totally different route on this card -

You can see I used some of the elements of the card kit on my card

I started by choosing a light blue card base top fold design -

Then instead of using the silver glitter strip, I went with

White & Silver snowflake washi tape

I kept the scallop border because I really liked it - and then

I die cut a Stitched circle out of white cardstock and layered

the DP circle on top of that - I also used a different

Embossing folder on my card --

 I wanted to add a little more silver so 

I used a Word die and cut that

out in some Silver Cardstock (3x's) and then layered them

on top of each other, to make it stand out - then just added a

couple of clear adhesive gems to complete my card -

The inside of my card has another scallop border along

with a sentiment to tie the whole card together -

I really like how my card turned out - it's really pretty in person!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS Weekend!!

Golden Tags --

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
Can you believe we are 1/2 way thru November already??
Who's ready for some TURKEY??? I AM!! LOL

I think this weekend I'll be putting 
up the Christmas decor as well - I know we 
haven't had Thanksgiving yet - but I'm just
feeling the Christmas vibe --


Since I'm gonna start getting the Christmas vibe -
I thought I would share these lovely tags I made
for my Local Monthly Card Swap Group -
We already met up and we won't meet up again until
Jan. 2018 - But I made these "extra tags' for the ladies

I die cut White Tags out, then cut out the stitched layer tag in gold -

Then I pulled out my SumMore Fun Stamps -

Christmas Borders Set and Happy Holidays Sentiment

I wanted to do some heat embossing - so the

pine border is with gold embossing and then the sentiment is

done with fine white embossing -

I added a lovely ribbon with the trim in gold 

The ladies in my card swap liked the extra surprise

and I was happy to make them! :)

We still have our Challenge going on over at

I need some help!!

Happy Tuesday Crafty friends!

This post is a simple one -

I've been trying for 3 days now to leave comments

on your blog posts - but for some really strange reason, I can't!

I don't know why or how to fix this -

It shows me logged into google - I can

make a New blog post -

But when I go to my reading list (which I always have)

and click on any of your blogs - it let's

me read your post but then when I want

to leave you a comment -

It shows "Select Profile" so of course

I select Google since I have an account - then

it flips the screen and then shows NO Comment!!

And I'm like WHAT? I just left one -

Also, when I go to my Blog page

Theresa's Crafty Creations -

in the corner, it has the Sign In at the top

so when I click on it - it does NOT have me sign in... 

it just takes me to my Blogger/Post page -

you know, where we can write our blog posts -

That's it... So I don't know what to do...

I'm getting really frustrated - especially

since I've been trying to leave comments

and it won't let me AND I'm not a

computer savvy person --

So, if anyone can help me figure this mess 

about PLEASE send me an email -

I've already cleared my cache & logging history

and anything else I could think of...

Just know, I've tried to leave you comments

but I can't!!! UGH!!

In the meantime, I thought I would share these

adorable holiday treat bags I made for my local card

swap group - Our last get together was on 

Wednesday and I thought I would make them

Christmas tags - those I'll show later this week!

Aren't they CUTE??? I totally love the way they turned out --

All the products used are from Jaded Blossom

Since there are only 5 of us in the swap right now -

these were super quick & easy to make!

I wanted to add the (to & from) to these treats because a couple

of the ladies are trying to watch what they eat - So I thought if

they would like to give them as a gift to a friend or teacher

they could - 😉

So, Of course I went with a TAG! Made sense to me! LOL

I'm using the AWESOME Empty Snow Globe Stamp (5043-S)

to cut out the center circle - Then I used the

Happy Holidays Stamp for the inside of my shaker -

I heat embossed it with some Red Embossing powder -

Then added an assortment of sequins from my stash -

I added some Trendy twine in the front of my globe

to "TIE" in with the theme as well! LOL

Joy Shaker --

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today's my day to take over the blog at:

SumMore Fun Blog - (Victorine Originals)

YAY for me... 🙌

I thought I would show you a Wonderful
Christmas Shaker Card!

Super Simple CAS Style card! I'm using the Lovely Large Joy with Ornament
Stamp - I like that it covers a good portion of my card and that it has
 elegant handwriting for that extra flair!

I started, by Heat Embossing the JOY Stamp with Versamark ink & some
(Holly Daze) Embossing powder from Clear Tops - It has a Red & Green
mixture in it - After I did that I cut out the center on the ornament.
so I can create my shaker circle -

Then, I used a Stitched Rectangle Die for a nice
bordered edge - I then added a piece of acetate and 
used some Scotch Dimension Adhesive to pop up
the backside so I can add my assorted sequins/beads

I cut a Circle out of a piece of Doodlebug Designer paper to cover
over my Shaker ornament circle, then added more Scotch Dimension 
Adhesive for the rest of my 4 x 5 1/4 white card front, so it would
sit evenly on my Hunter Green Card base - 

I added a few more sequins to the front of my card, just to
tie it all together - and I really like the classic look of it!
