Christmas Card

Here is a simple Christmas card I made this week. The designer paper is Stampin Up (from last Christmas) and the stamps are those clear Inkadinkadoo ones you see at Michaels and AC Moore. This stamp set has some nice designs in it! It has a beautiful large snowflake, a beautiful Noel word, a neat christmas tree etc. I also used four different spellbinders dies! You can't see it but I used an Atyou Spica glitter pen on the reindeer so it sparkles just a little. The snowflake is punched out of vellum and covered with glitter. I put a rhinestone in the center of it and the ribbon off to the side and done! The layout is a case of this gorgeous card from one of my favorite card makers Denise :) but totally different papers, stamps etc. It doesn't do her card justice! Christmas is only a little over a week away! I better get these in the mail.

Snowflakes!

This card is inspired by this card on the Hero Arts blog. That's two I have done! This one is quite a bit different though, I started with the snowflake idea and went from there. I love these colors together, in person the ribbon does match the paper, I don't like how the picture I took made it look different. I am sure it has to do with lighting and such and I haven't really wanted to do the whole light box thing. If I were submitting these for publication (but I won't since they are "cased") then I would be more "professional" about it :) Anyway the die for the big snowflake is from Spellbinders and the small ones are a Martha Stewart punch. I used my new "bow easy" to make this bow, wow it came out good! I am not thrilled with the tool yet, I like the results but I have to fiddle with it a lot. The paper and ribbon, oh and the stamp are Stampin Up.

I am working on a fun little project today, I will post it later this week. Thanks for stopping by!
