Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone has some great plans for the weekend!  Today I would like to share a card I made using Pion Design The Night Before Christmas. The santa in the frame is an image cut from the paper. I added frantage to the papers and used Tim Holtz distress ink Tea Dye on the edges of the paper. This gives the card a nice vintage look.

Please see below the other goodies I used to create my card:
Wycinanka Chipboard - deer and deer heart border
Prima Christmas Flowers
Ribbon
Lace
Idea-Ology Pen Nibs from Tim Holtz
Bling
Joy Crafts Die: Ice Crystal 3

Old Fashion Christmas

Greetings,

Where did October go! I was out shopping last night and couldn't believe the store I was in was playing Christmas music. Really?  So with that said it is time to get going on your Christmas cards, tags and projects.  I wasn't really sure I liked this collection but once I started working with it I fell in love with it. So if you love an old fashion Christmas style this collection is for you.

I  have some lovely crafty goodies I used from the Prima Sweet Peppermint Collection. I chose to create a tag using the 6 x 6 paper pad. I used the Santa Photo from the Ephemera Card stock Die Cuts, December 25th came from the Chipboard and more, and the other pieces I cut out were from the actual paper pad. To embellish my tag: Say it with Crystals, First Snow Fall Flower, Snow Roses, and Underneath the Christmas Tree Flowers (the waxed string and pom pom trim were from my stash. To add a little texture and interest I added snow to the edges of the tag and flowers.

Don't forget to join our challenge! You could be the lucky winner of the $20 Gift Certificate.

Good Morning,

I would like to share my Christmas card I made. I am trying to get ahead on my cards this year.  We will see how successful I am.

I used Pion paper The North Pole. Another beautiful collections. I have several die cuts that I used on my design: Joy Crafts Ice Crystal 3, Ice Crystal Edge,  Susan Wilson Festive Collection Filagree Poinsettia and Cheery Lynn Flourish. The chipboard birdhouse and snowman bauble from Wycinancka. For the finishing touches I used pearl embellishments, ribbon, lace, and white frantage.

Happy Wednesday,

We are so excited this is our first challenge for 7 Kids College Fund as new owners. We have a fabulous design team so be sure to check out their creations.

Today I have created a fall card using paper from Prima Rossi Belle A4 Collection Kit and Rossi Belle Aubrey flowers. The center photo is from Joy Crafts Paper Bloc in Autumn Pictures ( I just love these images). For the leaves in my flower arrangement I chose a Sue Wilson die from the Festive Collection Filagree Poinsettia. This die is so versatile you can use it all year round for your creations. To embellish this sweet card I chose frontage, misc flowers, lace trim, and various die cuts.

So head on over and enter your cards or projects for a chance to win a $20.00 gift certificate.

See you there!
