Christmas Card Swap

Did you know Christmas was only 12 weeks away?  wow...I swear the older I get...the faster time goes!!  

I joined a Christmas swap recently and had to make a Christmas card with layers size 5 x 5.  I do not normally use 5 x 5 cards but the cards that returned back was so adorable I will definitely have to use the cards!!!  I will post the cards I received tomorrow.  

The card I chose to do was mostly done with a punch, ink and cricut.  The Poinsettia is from Anna Griffin Winter Wonderland. 

It was easy to sit and put these together once I got all the pieces cut.   I tend to add a lot of glitter on cards lately...something my sister Faye got me hooked on.  Not a lot of glitter on this one.   I like the final results.  Layered but easy to mail still.

Next post I will share all the cards I received in return!

This card reminds me of my childhood.  Enough said....

Serene Winter Day

You know in your head what you want to create for a card but do not have all the pieces?  Well...I have been wanting a window die to create a card like this for a long time.  I finally broke down and ordered one.  These cards were so much fun putting together that I ended up making 3. 

  

A perfect serene winter day!

Supply List:
Spellbinders Shapeabilities D-Lite Window Die, Navy Blue and White Cardstock, Cricut Anna Griffin Winter Wonderland cartridge, EK Success Alpine Trail Edger Punch, Star Dust Stickles, Versafine Majestic Blue, sponge

Golden Christmas Flower

I was playing around with two new craft items I got recently.

One is the Anna Griffin Cricut Winter Wonderland Cartridge.  I cut out the swirl leaves that you see here.  I used gold stickles to sparkle up the leaves.

The second is the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Layered Poinsetta Die which is the Poinsetta.  I only used two layers on this card.

I sponged gold ink along the edge.  This card is actually very pretty when you see it in person.  Sometimes photos just do not do it justice!

I have not stamped a Sentiment on it yet.  I am holding off until last minute as I am not sure what I want to put there yet.

Thanks for stopping by!
