2017 Christmas Cards - The first of Many

Hi Folks!!!

I know, I know. Christmas? Already? Yes! Actually, I'm overdue. Every year I sign up for the Christmas Card Challenge on Splitcoaststampers in an effort to get my Christmas cards done sooner rather than later. I invariably fall of the wagon early in the year. Well this year, I fell off REALLY early. I didn't get any cards made in January. The "cards" were against me so to speak. Ba ha ha ha!

Anyways, I found this little 3 x 3 inch scrap of CTMH Snowhaven patterned paper on my craft table today. Made a couple of creative cuts with it, grabbed this already coloured image from my stash of leftover images (I think from my 2015 Christmas cards) et voila! One card down, dozens more to go.

card details:

• finished size: 5 x 5 inches, white card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH Snowhaven (retired)
• stamped image: Penny Black "A Cool Christmas", coloured with Copic Markers (YR16, YR15, B12, Y18, E35, E37, N5, R27, R29, YG61, YG63, YG67)
• embellishments: CTMH Red Enamel Gems

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Just a few more!

I swear! I don't have THAT many more of this year's Christmas cards left to share.

These three cards use a couple of the ornament images from the October Kit of the Month from Unity Stamp Co - and yes, that retired Snowhaven paper from Close to My Heart. I still have oodles of that paper in my stash.

Challenges for these cards:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches #383: Anything Goes
• Tuesday Throwdown #323: Anything Goes

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

Today I'm sharing three cards I made with an image from the October Kit of the Month (Holiday Hugs) from Unity Stamp Co. They all use the same retired paper collection from Close To My Heart.

Enjoy your day!

Winter sparkle with Unity & CTMH

Hi folks,

Well Christmas is almost here and I haven't quite shared all of this year's Christmas cards. There are still a few more to go.

Here's a couple of cards using the same image from Unity Stamp Co - Eve Girl.

Both cards use the same paper collection - the retired Snowhaven from CTMH - and the same layout.

Those big sparkly snowflakes? Those are from a papercrafting kit from back in the day when I was on the DT for PaperworksCo. I miss those days. Peggy and the team were a fantastic group.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!

Let the Christmas cards continue

Hi folks,

Well, I'm definitely in catch up mode sharing all of these Christmas cards I've been making since the pajama crop back in October so forgive me if I bombard you over the next few days with more and more Christmas cards from my marathon card making sessions.

This card is one of the 16 I made for the Christmas card swap at the crop. 12 of them were swapped, and I kept four for myself.

It's been a while since I made it so I'm not 100% sure of the usual details but here's my go at remembering

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, white card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH Snowhaven 
• stamps: CTMH 
• embellishments: adhesive gems

As always thanks for stopping by!
