Snow glitter tree.

The challenge for the week was the tree cut from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. We were to make it look "Christmasy". I used the Martha Stewart border punch with gold cardstock. I Cuttlebugged the white cardstock with the dot folder, (it reminded me of snow falling). Added some gold ink to the tree and Martha Stewart snow glitter to the tree and the snow mound. I think I am really going to like playing with this stuff! I played with a few different glues for the snow glitter and found that an old standby worked just fine.......Aleene's Tacky Glue. I like the course texture of this snow glitter and can't wait to play with it again!

Happy Fall

Simple, simple, simple card for card class. But, I did finally remember to drag out my Fastenator and use it to attach the leaf to the card. I'm not sure why I never think to use that thing! Maybe because the staples have a tendency to go on crooked!

Pumpkins

The second card that I will be teaching tomorrow. Once again, I used a Whippersnapper stamp! A little metal leaf brad, some stickles on the stars (which don't show well in this pic) and some skittles. Can you beleive I ran out of the brown cardstock when I was making up the kits and I need ONE more sheet. I have to drive to the scrapbook store for ONE piece of cardstock! I better buy some extra things while I am in there to make up for the price of gas, don't ya think? (grin)

JOY

This weeks challenge was to use a Doodlebat or Font from the Scrapnfonts website.........http://www.scrapnfonts.com/ They were so generous and gave us some fonts and dingbats to play with. I used two of the snowflakes as a border and the Joy tag from the Tis The Season set. This adds a whole new dimension in cardmaking! Love it! The girls on the team did some fun things with this challenge, go take a peek.

Sparkly tree

This weeks challenge was the tree card on the Joys of the Season cartridge. I ran the tree through the Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder and then added Stickles to the dots and some mini skittles. My Windows Picture Gallery isn't letting me crop pics anymore, not sure why? I'll have to try to figure that out, or else take REALLY close pics of the cards!

Halloween in California

Amysangels2 on the Cricut site RAK'd this drippy goo punch! Grammat won and she gave it to me! These are two very generous and kind ladies. THANK YOU!

I had a dream about using this punch on a candy corn (I know................pathetic that I dream about cardmaking), and when I woke up, I thought........candy corn doesn't melt, I can't use this punch on a candy corn......but..........it is in the low 90's here in southern California, so, my candy corn is melting!

Disney dollars

My little chemo buddy is coming from Utah with her family to Disneyland this week. She will be celebrating her birthday at the end of the week, so, I bought her some Disney dollars to spend while she is here. I made her this little holder to keep them in. I hope she has a "micey" nice time while she is here :)

She is an amazing girl, and I am so excited to spend time with her! I can't beleive she will be 14 already!

Halloween pop up

I saw this idea for a pop up card on the Cricut website and now I cannot find it again. I want to give credit to the stamper who posted it, so, I apologize to her and hope to find it and let you know who it was. I taught this card to the ladies at church today. I got the dimentions for the size and score lines from Splitcoast.

The Ghost and headstone are Cricut. The bat is a Quickutz die, the moon is a circle punch that was cut a second time to get the shape, the fence is a Martha Stewart border punch and the pumpkin is also a Martha Stewart punch. The tag slides back down into the base and fits into an A2 envy.

Halloween treat bag

I made this bag with the Sizzix Bigz scalloped card die. Instead of folding it into a card, I scored two more lines at the bottom and turned it into a treat bag. I cut a circle out of the front of the card, added a frame with black cardstock and an acetate window. I am going to teach this at the card class at church and couldn't find enough large eyelets, so, I just used a black marker and colored some regular paper reinforcements. I figured the treat bag will be torn apart to get to the candy anway :)

CD Case Calendar

This weeks challenge was the Home from the Christmas Cheer cartridge. I turned mine into a gingerbread house. I downloaded this calendar from the Amuse website. The proceeds go to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The calendars come in three different size formats that you download. The calendar is placed in an empty CD case with the middle removed. After you remove the middle, (the part that the CD sits in) you take the case apart, flip the lid around and when you put it back together it sits at an angle and the calendar page slides in. Quick and easy! These would make fun christmas gifts. The top scalloped border is a Fiskars border punch. The ginger people are from Paper Dolls............aren't they cute?
