Happy Holidays to All

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone who visits here.  I hope everyone who celebrates the Holiday has a most beautiful day however you get to spend it.  I will be sharing my day with my dear Husband and Mom-in-law. And a bunch of fury friends that I will be going to visit several times today.  It's supposed to be cool and rainy today, not much like the Christmas's I remember, but it's what's in your heart that matters not the weather or even the gifts!!  :)

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings to all.

With much love and hugs,

Have a wonderful Day!

Until next time....

Quick Holiday Gift Card Holder

Hi, Chris here, my turn on The Stamping Shack DT to do a blog project. So here I am with a really quick project to house those little gift cards we all buy this time of year.

To make this gift card holder, that bears lots of Christmas cheer, fold an A2 (invitation size) envelope in half. Cut inside flap at center crease. Moisten to close only the left flap and cut off other half of flap. 

Decorate front as desired using colorful papers, images and add a ribbon to tie card closed. I used the image from The Stamping Shack store called: Cat’s Chorus.  I colored it with color pencils and OMS. Then attached ribbon around card after gluing down patterned paper, leaving a tale in front and back. Then attach image with some scrap paper behind it, cut to size right over the ribbon on front.  I also ran some glue runner on ribbon on back side, to keep it in place.  

Now for interior, decorate the inside of the card as desired, making sure to include both the recipient's name (To: ) and your own ( From ).  Insert your gift card in the pocket. That’s it your all done! 

That's all for me for today......

Have a beautiful Christmas Day and a wonderful New Year’s too.  
See You Next Year.

Card For My Sweetheart

Afternoon all.  Hope everyone is having a nice day.  It's very cool and dreary here today, a good day to stay in and finish up Christmas cards.  And that's what I did.   I made this Easel card for my Husband for Christmas this year.  I used Doodle Pantry Digital Image and the snow flakes I bought on clearance at Hobby Lobby last year.  The patterned paper is from Archiver's, I think it's by Bo Bunny maybe...?  Used a die from Just Rite Stamps for the inside sentiment.  And printed both sentiments on my printer.   I am very happy with it.  It's hard to come up with different ideas every year for cards for this wonderful man I have in my life.....  and now here is the card:

I actually finished a card for my Mum too, but I don't want to spoil the surprise for her so I won't show it just yet, sorry Mum :) 

I am also entering this card in the following challenges over at Through the Craft Room Door, "Anything Goes Challenge".  And The Crazy Challenge - Christmas Time Challenge.  Wish me luck! 

Well that's it for today, stop back tomorrow to see the next Challenge for The Stamping Shack, it runs tomorrow thru the end of the month.  And it 's Anything Goes, so come join us for some fun prizes and wonderful inspiration from the other DT members.  Hope you'll join in the fun!  See you tomorrow.

Until next time....

A couple more xmas cards done

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by.  I made a couple more cards for some card making friends yesterday.  I used some doodle pantry digi images and small doilies.  They made up really fast, I think they came out pretty cute! I added some little spots of bling suds but it's hard to see in the picture.

 Here they are:

Still working on my Mom's card and my hubby's .......will post them once they're done.

That's all from me for today.  Have a super evening.

Until next time,

Another Easy Holiday Card

 Howdy all, I'm back with  with another easy Card project for you.  This time I chose the image "Snow Much Fun" from The Stamping Shack store under the Christmas images to use for my card.  Below is a picture of all the supplies I used minus the color pencils, glitter glue and OMS.  I had put them away already and didn't realize til I was adding the pictures here, so sorry!

                            

 First print ,color and cut down image.  I used water color pencils with OMS to color image.  Then using glitter glue I added some areas of fake snow.  I put this on the ground area, snowman outline and the collar, cuffs and pompom of the little boy's hat.  Set aside to dry.

Then cut your patterned paper for the background to fit the base with just a bit of base card showing on sides and top of card leaving just a small amount of base card showing at bottom to add a sentiment.

 Now attach patterned back ground paper to card base then Digi image to background paper, using glue stick.

 Now all that's left is to add the holiday sentiment (from Just Rite Stamps) in the middle area under image and stamp 3 tiny snowflakes (from Just Rite Stamps) on either side of the sentiment.  I used red Marvy Marker for the sentiment and Green Marvy Marker for the snowflakes. 

 and it's finished!  Easy Peasy, took just under 15 minutes to make.

Well I hope you enjoyed this card project and don't forget to visit The Stamping Shack store for more fun images for all your card making and more.  Also if you have not stopped by their blog you should, they have a Challenge going on through the 14th of this month, It's Anything Goes.  And there will be 3 winners!  So come on join in the fun and show us what you come up with.  

Until next time,

The Stamping Shack's Facebook Image special

Hello, I am back again with a card I made with The Stamping Shack's Face book Weekly Image Special.  This week the image is :  SNOW PALS and will be on special for 99 cents all week long.  It's so cute!  I am a bit biased because I adore snowmen!!  I made another center step card and used this adorable digi image as the center stage design.  Hope you like it enough to come visit us at The Stamping Shack on Face book and please like us too!

I kinda wish now that I had printed the digi a bit bigger, darn it!  It's still cute though, don't you think?

Until next time......................
