Tent Topper flowers

Here's a card I made today.  It's called a tent-topper card and super easy to do.  You just make the card smaller than regular (I made it 4-1/2 x 4-1/2) and stand it up.  Then add something that extends overtop (but keep in mind the size of the envelope you're going to use). 

I am using Serene Silhouettes stamp set, ovals and deco labels framelits, banner punch and petite petals stamp set/punch!  Also wild wasabi ribbon and script embossing!

You made my Day - Vivid Vases


I made this card using the layout at Splitcoast.
The only colors of ink on this card are soft suede and pink!
I love this set and I love using it in a variety of ways.
Cute little clip too!  I bought them before Christmas and haven't used many of them yet.

Last 3 Christmas cards 2013


Yippee!!!! I am so excited!  I finished my Christmas cards for this year!
I looked back over my stash and I made over 45 unique Christmas card designs this year.  I started in July.  I enjoyed it but am looking forward to doing some cards for something other than Christmas!

4 lattice 4 Christmas





I am still needing more Christmas cards, so to be easy on myself I whipped up a few using the lattice die.  I sure love that die and find it super fun to create with.
I combined it with some patterned paper and black layers with a few simple embellishments.
I think I made all 4 in 20 minutes.

Small Poinsettia - framed

I made this card for our Queen this week.
I used 4 framelits to make the frame.  I cut out two of the "inside" of the Poinsettia in Joyful Christmas and layered them.
There are black glimmer brads on top and bottom.

Made this card in honour of our Queen #180 this week.  If you want to play along with the challenge that I host on Splitcoast.  It is called the Queen for the Day.  You can find the information here.

Poinsettia in part


Playing with my new Christmas stamp set.  I versamarked the image first on the craft, then did another layer embossed on the red paper and cut out overtop.  I love this pretty set and I love the sentiments that go with it.

The layout is from Sketch Frenzy Friday.
