12 Days of Christmas Cards - Special Delivery

Here's a really cute card I made using the Red Truck Box Card over at SVGCuts.com

I did enlarge the files by 125% so the finished card is 5x8 when folded flat.

and the cute Santa and tree?  Those are from Shark&Croc "Santa Secret" which I purchased from The Hungry jPeg. 

Santa is in a rush trying to deliver all those presents.  hahaha! He's so cute.  Thanks for looking! See you soon. 💝

12 Days of Christmas Cards - A"door"able

Hello again.
This card has a special meaning for me.  I made it for someone very close to me, and who truly has my heart and soul.
The card is from SVGCuts.com More Christmas Box Cards.

I changed the wreath on the door to Moose antlers and added a red ribbon on the wreath.

I also added some snowflake paste (Prima) and a little bit of glitter and green sprigs on the lantern.

The gift in the front has "ribbon" made from 1/8" Sookwang tape and glitter. 

The best part about giving this card to my person, was the reaction I got.  I love how he supports and encourages my paper art. 

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow

Hello my friends. Today I'm sharing a vintage snow sled.
I cut the sled out on my Silhouette machine and colored it with metallic silver Sharpie and red Copic markers
Next I cut the background panel and cut the stars into it (Tim Holtz)
I also cut skates and the bow from dies
I added some bells and greenery for decoration
thanks for taking a look! See you tomorrow 💝

12 Days of Christmas Cards - Zig Zag Village

Hi! Day 3 already?
I purchased this cut file from the Silhouette store last month.  It's really pretty and quite easy to assemble.  And there is a great video tutorial from the designer Marji Roy

I cut the village out with kraft colored paper and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I glittered all the roof pieces and trees with Rock Candy dry glitter and then added the wreaths and bows (which I colored with Copic markers)

See, told you it was easy. That's all there is to it really. See you tomorrow💝

12 Days of Christmas Cards - Let Heaven and Nature Sing

Welcome to Day 2
I love the colors on this card, and I love my silhouette machine!
I cut out a birch tree background (5x7) and a deer using cut files I had in my library.
I embossed the trees using Shabby White embossing powder and the deer/frame were embossed with interference green and a little sprinkle of the Shabby White powder.
The background was dry embossed using the older birch trees folder from Tim Holtz, and highlighted with Evergreen Bough distress ink.
The stamped sentiment is an old stamp I had in my stash. (I have so many stamps, you guys.) Most of my wood mounted stamps are retired or unavailable now. 😞

Again, not traditional Christmas colors, but so pretty.  

Thanks for looking! See you soon. 💝

12 Days of Christmas Cards - A Frosty Noel

Happy December! It's my most favorite time of year.  I started working on my Christmas cards back in October. I will be sharing my creations with you.

This first card combined a few techniques.  I printed the window (download file from Alpha Stamps/Laura Carson) and cut out the panes.
I then covered my blue background paper with Sookwang tape and placed the window over top.  The exposed adhesive was now ready for Rock Candy Glitter.
I cut the NOEL out on my Silhouette, the embossed with white powder and a custom mix I made with Shabby white and blue embossing powders.
There's the Tim Holtz' tattered snowflake die/embossing folder and another snowflake cutout over the L
I added some white yarn and some bling to finish off the card.

I like the frosty/shabbiness of this card.  Not your traditional Christmas colors, but more of a wintery shabby chic look.  

Thanks for looking, stay tuned for more cards this week. 💝
