Two cards that I made today with the girls!

For those who have downloaded this reindeer file that I made a couple weeks ago, here is what I did with mine. Made a Christmas card for a special little one in our family! If you missed downloading the file just go under SCAL files and you can still download it.

Another quick Christmas card - holiday cards are almost done - hip hip hooray!

Snowman SVG

Here is a little snowman that I made. There are many small pieces and as with all files with small pieces, it cuts better larger than smaller. The svg file can be downloaded here.

Storage Card

This is a very fast and easy card that I just made to send little notes from my kids and their school photos in. This would also be great for sending gift cards. I used a long envelope that was sealed and cut it in half. I then glued it to one side of paper and then folded the paper up to glue the next side. I left a flap so that it will go under the front square piece that I made. I tried to create a more vintage type look so I inked the edges all white and then I saw a challenge somewhere to use cardboard in some type of project so that is how I came up with that. I did find out that the embossing doesn't work so well on the rough side of the cardboard. Oh well - I still like it - gave it more of an aged different type look!

Christmas Cards

Went out with some girlfriends last night and had a great time making some Stampin Up Christmas cards. We each made a total of 15 cards - three of each design.

I just created this simple Christmas card with a stamp that I recently purchased. I love anything with a Santa on it and this vintage looking one caught my eye. I cut the postage stamp shape out on Sure Cuts A Lot and then chalked the rest of the image and used Crystal Stickles for the hair and beard. The postage stamp svg file can be downloaded here.

More Cards

I think I am getting addicted to making cards. It is so nice to take a break from scrapbooking to have something else that is fun to do also. I usually do one or two - 2 page spreads a night and then move on to making a card or two. Here are some I worked on last night! Hope you enjoy!

I used my Martha Stewart Branch punch to make this one! This is my favorite punch. You can do so much with it.

I would love to take credit for this card but I got this idea from another persons blog. This was showing how to use more than one cuttlebug folder for a card. I got the idea from http://carolspaperplayce.blogspot.com/2008/09/debut-design-for-cuttlebug-challenges.html

This one was made with Sure Cuts a Lot. I just ordered this pattern for $1 from http://www.myscrapchick.com/ She had some very cute patterns on sale that I just couldn't pass up.

I was playing around with my cuttlebug again and used my favorite folder the Textile Texture to make this one.

This is just a stamp from the Stampin Up collection called Season of Friendship. I then of course used my other Martha punch - the scallop border.
