Cage the Christmas Cardinal

One more...
SVGCuts Playful Parlour kit
The birdcage was super easy and quick to put together
It needed a Christmas feel, so I used a cardinal from the Silhouette online store
A few "Christmassy" embellishments like pine branches, pine cones and snowflakes (all paper).

Christmas Skate

Here is a special little project I made for a co-worker.
The 3D skate is from my favorite SVGCuts.com
I embellished the skate with a few die cuts and some floral sprays I had in my stash.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Ok so here is the last of my Christmas cards I made this year.

I wanted a cute woodlands theme.

I used the flowers from Petaloo to embellish the scenes with some additional die cuts for interest.

If you look closely, you can spot some of Tim Holtz's white rub-ons. 

The bird image is another Astrid McLean freebie and the deer image is from here.

Merry Christmas everyone.  Have a spectacular time with friends and family. Keep the creative juices flowing right into the new year.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Hello, I am almost through my Christmas Card posts.
Guess which paper I used this time?  Hahaha yeah, Simple Stories. Do you see a pattern forming here?

The window stamp is from Darkroom Door.  I stamped it on a nice wood grain paper with Potting Soil archival ink. I embellished the sides with memory box die cuts and those wonderful burlap pointsettia flowers from Petaloo.

The images behind the window come from a wonderful talented lady - Astrid McLean. They were a free download from her blog site.  Thank you Astrid, I follow your blog and I love your art. You can check out her stuff here.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Here's another card for you to check out
This one was quite simple as the silhouette machine did most of the work, I did emboss the cut out with  beautiful metallic green and ruby embossing powders.
Merry Christmas is a die cut from Tim Holtz's word thinlits
I couldn't get enough of the simple stories paper this year and I believe the wood grain paper is from MME
Thanks for looking, see you tomorrow...

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Hi everyone,
here is another card I'm sharing with you
the deer are  from the Silhouette store.
On the white one, I left it as is and matted it on an embossed background (love that embossing folder!!)
The stamp is from Indigo Blu which I stamped with dark brown Fluid Chalk ink and highlighted with Mustard Seed distress ink

The brown deer was embossed with Chocolate Twinkle E.P. and I added a couple die cut snowflakes from Impression Obsession
Hope you like them.

12 Days (or so) of Christmas Cards

Here's a rustic Christmas card I made that was inspired by a Pottery Barn ornament. I used a Silhouette cut file for the front and altered each letter in a different way.

N - faux rust

O - woodgrain paper with stamped sweater pattern

E - faux metal plate with an embossing folder

L - distress crackle paint

Thanks for looking, see you next time
