Holiday Ornament Card

SU recently had these great little Ornamental Elegance Kits on sale, right before Christmas to create Ornaments like this. I purchased the kit with the intention of giving the ornaments to my neighbors to maybe drum up some business for my first workshop and, well, it didn't work out so well... I never got to them. So... I ended up making just one, to see how they looked (mine doesn't look as great as the ones on the front page of the Holiday Catty, but I am still happy with the way it turned out.) 

Anyway, I decided to try a smaller version on a card, and I really like the way it came out. I know I should move to my Valentines and Spring cards, but I still trying to use up my Christmas supplies, to make it worse, I spent the weekend cleaning out my scrapbook room and came across a lot of old supplies from when I was a demo before and well, now I feel compelled to use it up to. I am thinking of maybe making all the cards and bagging them up in groups of ten to give as door prizes or book to look prizes or something of that nature, what do you think?

My Sketch World DT app

Greetings, I decided I would like to try and get on a design team or two and just happened to have a DT announcement in my inbox this week, So, I whipped up a couple cards based on sketches in the past hour and submitted my application. Wish me luck! Leave me some comments wishing me luck and I will have a great little bit of blog candy for you, which will be a cute little Happy Hello, Simply Sent kit from the new Sale A Bration Catty from Stampin Up.

This kit includes everything you need for creating a great little cards. As a bonus, If I get selected for the DT, I will add a free little sentiment, so be sure to wish me luck!

While we are on the subject of Sale A Bration, for every $50 you spend during the Sale A Bration period, you can get a free item from the Sale A Bration Catty, this is just one of the free items you can select.

Sale A Bration starts Jan 22 and ends Mar 24, that is a lot of time to gather all the goodies in this great little catty.

Plus, if you join SU as a demonstrator during Sale a bration, you get 25% more in your starter kit, what a great way to start!



But I digress, Back to my DT application. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of several projects right now and I wanted to hurry and get my application in, so I whipped up 4 cards super fast (literally within the hour)

So, I put in my application with My Sketch World and you can find all the sketches here and finally, using scraps from the projects I have been working on and the scraps in my scrap bin, I whipped up these 4 little cards.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Bloggers and Facebook Family, it's ridiculously early Christmas Morning, but I am still up with my usual insomnia, merrily stamping away the early morning hours, even procrastinating getting those last gifts wrapped and under the tree. Just a few more Christmas Cards to share: One more using Candlelight Christmas DSP, yep, I am still using the same half a pack I started with ( I think I am up to 12 so far, but I have seen one stamper who gets 35 from half a pack, I have some work to do, although I am still working at it)

The second card is my version of a Blue Christmas, or maybe even a white Christmas, which we will rarely have here in El Paso, don't get me wrong, I am not really a fan of the snow, If I could have a white Christmas and have it merrily melt away Christmas Night, that would be the perfect scene for me! Anywho, I digress, I got a little carried away with this blue Christmas card, a little too much going on here, I know... I started with and idea and just got carried away, trying to add dimension to it....  The good news is, I have some ideas using what did work and I will get rid of the rest... Live and learn right...


Now, off to get those last couple of gifts wrapped.. or.... maybe I will just stamp a few more cards... at least two of my three heathens are still up and digital, got stay up awfully late.. or is it early? to stay up past my kids to wrap those last few gifts..

It's Christmas Eve and the kids are all plugged in as usual, so I am happily stampin away while watching "A Christmas Carol" on the tube. I am so loving pinterest, I could spend all day on there getting inspiration for cards I will never create ;) I am still using my first half back of Candlelight Christmas DSP and loving all the inspiration I am finding. My craft room is a disaster and my sweats are all inky and glittery and there is nothing I would rather be doing, whilst my children are busy with their own passions except maybe spend some time with my special someone, who is out of town with family this week and so, this is the best "me time" I could ask for!

 All cards were created using Candlelight Christmas DSP, which of course, is available here. The top right is rolled DSP punched with various sized circle and scalloped circle punches, the top left is simply scalloped circle punches wrapped around a hand drawn tree, the quilt card to the left is a Top Note die and the bottom card was just a simple bunch of squares, all of these cards were inspired by others seen on pinterest.

Candlelight Christmas Cards

Happy Christmas Eve! Just a few cards I was inspired to crank out this morning using up my Candlelight Christmas DSP, I still have a ton of it left and haven't even cracked into the second half of it yet.  These are all pretty simple, nothing spectacular, but sometimes simple can be pretty, right? I don't usually think of browns when I think Christmas cards, but this early expresso sure does look pretty.

I used Greetings of the Season stamps and Bells & Boughs for stamps and all the Valentines cards using the Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies inspired me to do a Christmas card using the flag-looking die.

There is also a snowflake punch and Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, The Ivy Embossing Folder was a Sizzix, but not a Stampin Up!

Santa Baby... A little something naughty for Christmas Eve

This template has been around for a long time and I couldn't resist a little Christmas Fun, I actually saw a cute little set in JC Penney's the other day that inspired me to make the card versions of Christmas Bra and Panties.

So, A little Candlelight Christmas DSP and Santa Baby will be a happy Man,  I used a Stamp from Greetings of the Season Set and the Artisan Embellishments that you will be able to purchase in the new Spring Catty, next month.






Hugs!! Angi
