Snowman Christmas Card

I made this card for the challenge on My Pink Stamper.  For this challenge we were to do something winter related.  Now, I live in Texas so snow is a rare thing here, but he made for a great Christmas card!  I used Doodlecharms for the snowman.  The stamp and ink are SU.  The glitter is Crystal Snow that I got at Michael's.  All the paper is from my scraps.

Gingerbread Man Card

I made this card for the challenge over on Fantabulous Cricut.  It's National Baking Month and you were to make a project with something to do with baking.  I choose to make a Christmas card.  I just love the look of gingerbread men.  I used From My Kitchen for the gingerbread man.  He was cut at 3".  All the paper came from my scraps and I hand drew the white lines on.  I used my Spellbinders to make the tag.  It's a CTMH stamp with SU ink.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

Cars Layout

Let me jsut say that this layout hates me!  I had an awful time trying to get the layers to cut and not tear.  I cut Lightening McQueen about 8-10 times, Mater and the Cars emblem twice.  Then the lighting was not right in my scrap room and it took all day to be able to take the picture and then I could not get the page straight in the picture!  After 12-15 takes, this is as good as it is going to get!  After all the frustration with the cuts, I have no idea what paper I used!  It took 3 sheets of red before I got one to cut and 2 for the brown in Mater.  The black and white are just 2" squares cut with my trimmer and the road was cut using my CM decorative trimmer.  Mater and LM were cut at the same size 3 1/2".

Fall Card

It's swap time over at Paper Crafting Mania!  I made this card for the swap and also for Paper Playtime's Challenge!  (I like doing two things at once!)  I found a lady who was clearing out some of her extra stamp sets.  I bought this CTMH set for $7!  (I love a deal!)  I just had to play with it.  The ink is SU.  I used the rock and roll method for the leaves, which was quite a challenge because I mostly have Stampin' Spots.  The pattern paper is Recollections and the ribbon is Offray.  The buttons are from my stash.

Challenge Card-Halloween

I made a Halloween card yesterday.  I made it for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time.  Her challenge was to make a project using NO machines.  You had to go old school on this one!  After I got the card made; I realized that it would also work for Paper Play Time's Fall Challenge this week.  I killed 2 birds with one stone this week!  (Told ya I didn't like birds!)  The printed paper is Flair Designs, all the cardstock is SU.  The ribbon is also SU.  The stamp and the ink is CTMH.  The black pearls are Queen and Co.

MPS Challenge-Bird

Robyn over at My Pink Stamper is doing some challenges today.  I decided that I'd play along.  The first challenge was to make something using a bird.  Now, I'm not really into the "bird craze" that is going on right now.  I'd prefer not to have birds on any of my stuff, but I tried.  I used Very Merry Tags and got a jump on my Christmas tag making!  I cut the tag at 4".  Then I cut the layer in red, then again in brown and cut the brown to fit onto the red.  I ran the red thru my CB using the D'vine Swirls folder.  I also inked the edges of everything using Colorbox chalk ink.  The green paper is DCWV, the brown is Coordinations and the red came from my scraps.  ****I have played with this all afternoon.  If you saw my first post, I apologize, that was awful!  I went back and sprayed the image with shimmer mist.  I made the shimmer mist using SU's Frost White Shimmer Paint and alcohol.  I also added a bow to the top.

"Hot" Card

The card swap this month over at Paper Crafting Mania was a "hot" card. Since I live in Texas and it's been 107 here, I used the sun for my "hot"! The sun came from Life's A Beach. I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face and inked the edge of the circle with SU ink. I added Stickles for some glimmer! The clouds came from Mickey and Friends. The stamp is Paper Trey Inc. The best part-I used all scraps to make this card!


For the next 4 days, I'll be on retreat! I should have lots of pages to share next week!
