Simply Christmas

I wanted to make some simple Christmas cards. The first one seemed too simple so I added a green border to the second one, and now I can't decide which one I like............why can't I just keep it simple and not worry about it? If my plan was to keep it simple, I should just stick with the original one, right?

Snowman in Blue

I just got this chubby little Whipper Snapper snowman and had to ink him up! The swirls are from an EK Success border punch, the scalloped circle card is from the Wild Card cartridge, the snowflake is a Martha punch, and the rest is Stickled! tfl..........d

Embossing and sparkle!

I got a little carried away with the stickles on this one. Everything got stickled! I was inspired to stickle because of this glittery ribbon I bought at Michaels. I used a new embossing folder for the background and my favorite dot embossing folder on the bird. I use that dot one so often, love it! Word of warning........if you use this ribbon, you will have sparkles everywhere! Some of it comes off.......... tfl............d

Give Thanks

I'm bouncing back and forth between fall cards and Christmas cards. I much prefer to make Christmas cards because I'm never quite happy with the fall cards I make. This may be the only one. I had to cut out an extra arm and pop it away from her dress so that the little cut out pumpkin could sit behind her hand. Oops, timer is going off, gotta get some cookies out of the oven....tfl....d

Frosty friends

What a cute, chubby penguin. He is from the Joys of the Season cart, and the Snowmen are from the new Snow Friends. A little stickles on the snow area and glitter on the Martha punched snowflake. I made this card on Halloween day when it was 85 degrees outside. I almost put on some Christmas music just to try to get in the mood for this card! Next month is Christmas............yikes!

You're so sweet

I've been scrapbooking (finally) and am behind on my cardmaking. I finally sat down today and made this little strawberry card. Not exactly a fall card, but, it's still sunny and warm here. tfl.............d

Boo to you

These little ghosties are cut from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. The spider web punch is from Martha Stewart and the Boo to you stamp is Judith. I'm making my sister a batch of miscellaneous cards for Christmas (good thing she doesn't ever check my blog!). She wants them to be flat and easy to mail. It's hard to make cards without many embellies! tfl............d

Of all the weird things...........

Of all the weird things that show up on Halloween, I like you best. This stamp cracks me up! This weeks challenge was the monster on the Paper Dolls cartridge. I added some funny feet and sponged some black ink on the papers. Check out the fun monsters that the other girls came up with..........tfl...........d

Cupcake anyone?

Do you hate to cover up cute patterned paper? I thought this paper was so cute, that I didn't want to cover it up, so, I added some Stickles to it and kept the card simple! tfl...................d

EEK!

I love this little witch stamp from Belles 'n Whistles. I don't usually care for witch images, but, I thought she was pretty cute. I used a Martha Stewart EEEK punch and her spider web border punch. The background is from a Cuttlebug spider web embossing folder, using Core'dinations cardstock that is sanded. Stickles on the bow, Copic markers, and black ink sponged onto the white and yellow cardstock, and I think that's about it! tfl...............d
