** Merry MERRY Christmas** Santa Slackers #5

Well I immediately though of the (Mistletoe )Making Memories paper pack from last year when I saw this sketch and decided to base my card around the paper!!  I used the Santa head from Joy to the Seasons cut at 3 ins and layered him hid some cuts cuddled his beard and stickled his hat.  I knew we were going to use tags so I found some old fashioned looking greetins to stamp on the tags.  (thank goodness for the dollar stamp bins)  an I ties some bows on with linen thread.  Used Tim Holtz vintage photo distress ink to ink my edges doodled around a little and used good old pop dots for some dimension.  Oh i almost forgot Martha Stewart corner punchs for the left hand corners.  I never thought I would get this down on paper like it was in my head!!  But I guess it works for a card that could be made in duplicates pretty fast if I had to!!!!  Thanks for looking and let me know what you think!!!

~~Country Life~~ Garden Party

I wanted to make a more traditional Birthday Card!!  I usually do cutesy!!  I took a look at Country Life and saw the Pitcher and flower cut and thought that looks like it would work.  I have so many paper packs that I haven't touched so I pulled out DCWV Garden Party and took two sheets that seem to work well together and cut apart and worked the design with them.  I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and corner punch to copy the paper a little.  Inked and  Popped and stamped the sentiment.  A little different for me but just as fun!!!

I know I am terrible at writing down all the things I do to put into my cards but I really do try:

Paper: Debbie Mumm Harvest and Holiday

            BazzilBasicPaper  

Cartridges: Doodlecharm

                   Strech Your Imagination

Both Ribbons from my stash

Embossing folders:  Swirls

                                Swiss Dots

Martha Stewarts Border Punch

White flocking using my little xXryon to get it to stick

and finally lots of layering

This is a 5x61/2 in card with lots of layering

santa cut at 2.25 and holly at a inch.

Once I got started on this It went together so smoothly.  Think I might try a few more cuts on this from doodlecharms

Thanks for looking and would love to hear what you think!!

Squirrely *Hi

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA          

I wanted to make a quick little fall note card and this is what I came up with using the go to cart for me “Create A Critter”.  I was rooting thru some of my old craft supplies and found some vellum leaves I had bought ages ago from Sheer additions. I was worried about the pop dots showing thru so I backed the leaves before I put on cards.  I heat embossed using white embossing powder of a a “hi” sentiment I had.  And for once I used scraps to make my little squirrel.  I think this is a card I can make more of quickley minus the leaves of vellum but I can make other leaves for that!!  Thanks for looking!!  Now on to my weekly xmas card for slackers challenge!!!!!

My attempt at Gamasol and stamping


 I used a black and white digi stamp and colored it in using my colored pencils and gamasol.  Thought this would make a lovely friendship card.   Used a sketch to follow the layout with a few changes.and the stamp sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I always can use a thankyou card in my stash!  Well that's it for tonight I will have to get back to birthday cards tomorrow and start thinking about my Xmas card for next week.  Thanks for taking a peek.
