Onto Christmas Cards

 This die set was hard to get! It was last year or the year before in Stampin Up seasonal catalog or online, I don’t know really where it was. Ebay is my friend but whoa, watch the prices! I love the sled! I should have taken a picture of it by itself. Cute. I used to figure skate so hanging these skates brings back great memories. The sled not so much, haha, when I was little we had this sled and more than once some part of me was run over by the metal rails. Ouch! They were hard to control too. Anyway sledding still was fun.  I made two at the same time, which is better? The one with the green layer or the one without? 

Thanksgiving Cards Day 7

 This card is in a motion card. Dual circles move as you open the card. Fun! Tricky to decorate as the items have to clear the sides and it took a lot of fiddling around the first time. I am currently making two more in an A2 size. This one is 5 x 7. I posted a video - hope it works. 

Thanksgiving Cards Day 6

 This one I made to sell. Just an experiment. It is using a lot of gold mirror card stock and I quite like it! Stampin Up Amber Autumn again and more of those stickers ( why do I feel like I am cheating?) I also used heavy white card stock for the base. Its a show stopper! 

Thanksgiving Cards 5

 I have so many cards this year I am going to show you two in this post. The second card which I love, I used stickers for the first time ever. I always thought cards should be stamped and hand colored. I don’t know where that idea came from but I am seeing a lot of cards on YouTube using stickers, washi tape and “toppers” and they’re gorgeous. Well shoot, this loaded with the back side first, usually it posts them in the order I upload them  but I am using my iphone to create these posts and you just cant move stuff around so I apologize. 

Thanksgiving Card 4

 Another one that looks complicated but isnt. Its a good thing I love this paper because its what I have for Fall this year. It really is pretty, the gold in the veins of the leaves and accented here and there just raise it up a notch. Stampin’Up! Amber Autumn stamps and paper.

Thanksgiving Cards 3

This card design I made a couple of years ago for Christmas. It is an easy card that looks interesting. There are a lot of cards using boxes to make them a little more interesting. Stampin’ Up! Amber Autumn stamps and paper. 

Thanksgiving Cards 2

 I made two of these, the first time I made this card a few years sgo my friend and I watched a video in centimeters and we made it but it just was off. Now we did try to convert it to inches, why I dont know. So now these is going around in Stampin Up cards and I had no problem making it. There is a tab in the back that has to line up but easy peasy this time. I printed the sentiment and the paper is Stampin Up Amber Autumn and Toile. 

Thanksgiving Card Series Day 1

 I will be posting the pictures of the cards that I am making for Thanksgiving for the next few posts. This first one is a simple gatefold card. You can’t really tell from the picture, but the copper background is absolutely gorgeous. It is a die from stamping up called Amber autumn the paper and pumpkin stamps are also from that set. The Thanksgiving die is from Gina K.

Last Halloween Card

Just a quick See Saw Shutterfold card from Creative Gems on YouTube. Using that same Paper Rose paper pack. 

 

Inside Open-Book Pop-Up Card

The directions for this card are from Marias Crafting Corner  - I made another one because I just love this style card. This is using Stampin’ Up paper called Gathering together and Autumn Toile. The stamps and dies are from that set except the Bridge Over Water by Whimsy Stamps and the sentiment is printed from my computer. 

Star Explosion Card Autumn

 This card is made from Sam Calcott’s YouTube channel. It is rather easy although it might look intimidating. She gives very good directions. I used that adorable fox again from Happy Days by Paper Boutique. The rest of the paper is from Stampin’ Up! The DSP (designer series paper) is called Gathering Together. The bridge stamp on front is from Whimsy Stamps called Bridge Over Water.

Paper Tea Cup and Saucer

Something a little different today. This is a SVG file from Gentleman Crafter in the UK. He has a Patreon page for less that $4 a month you can download his files, better deal than $3 a piece on Etsy. Anyway I finally cut it out with my Brother Scan and Cut when a friend came over to make cards. Am so delighted with how this turned out! Stampin’ Up paper. 

 

Autumn Blessings Panel Shutter Card

 I am so thrilled to get new paper!. This is from Stampin’ Up.  The leaves and acorns are stamps and dies from them as well. The words I printed from my computer - couldn’t find the right sentiment that would fit on the die cut pieces. I used shiny gold card stock for the mats - it looks fantastic in person. I’ve seen a lot of cards done that way lately, mostly from crafters in the UK.
