Christmas card

It is a rainy wet grey day here, and I wasn't in the mood to be wrapping presents with my three children running around the house. Lol, that could be asking for trouble :p! So I decided I would make a Christmas card, while 2 of my 3 were having a snooze out in the living room and my oldest was also making his own xmas card behind me.

Here is the Christmas card that I created, am very happy with how it turned out :)! I will be posting my son's card too later, as he asked me if I could show all my crafty friends out there what he can do. Lol!

Inky Hugs,

fun Christmas card

Last night, I wanted to make a Christmas card using the new Cuttlebug folder that I picked up the other day from Photo Memories. LOVE this folder, it is bigger than the other one's and covers more of your card :D! I also used a stamp that I haven't used in a little bit, then I used the puffy white paint on my card but had a bit of a issue with the bottle it comes in.

What I mean by an issue is that when I squeezed the bottle (not hard) that the top which was screwed on really well popped off and the puffy paint went all over me. This is when the chaos erupted in my house, just as that happened all 3 kids wanted something to eat or help with something. I told them to look at me, that I had to clean up the mess but then I would help them...not good timing I guess :p! I got the card finished though, and used my new light tent that my dh made :)!

Christmas card

I had to make 2 cards for this months CCE card exchange, and here is one of the cards I came up with :)! I used the "Worship the Lord" stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs, I actually won this stamp set last year on someone's blog candy and I must say that I really like this set. I have checked out the different cards on Splitcoaststampers site, which helped me with creating this card.

Some of you were wondering if my coasters would be good for placing a spoon on, and I would have to say it would be good for that sort of thing. The stamped images don't smudge or run, because I spray each of them with Make it Last Clear Acrylic sealer. I use Archival jet black ink to stamp my image on the tile, and I picked up the coasters at my local Home Depot or Kent store in my area. I also should mention, that for the backs of my coasters I use cork board that comes in a roll from Michael's Craft store and I cut the cork to the size I need. I usually cover the whole back of each coaster, not put squares on each of the corners :)! Hope this helps...

Christmas card

Here is a Christmas card I made this morning, I used some beautiful patterned paper that I picked up from PhotoMemories a few weeks ago it is by Holly Lane and is called Peppermint stick. One side had a beautiful Holly pattern on it, and the other side had these stripes on it. I ran the patterned paper through my Cuttlebug using my Snowflakes folder. Then I layered every stamped image and the patterned paper, to give it a very festive look to it. The stamped image of sprigs with red berries came from the set "Always" SU stamp set :)! The sentiment stamp there came with the "Season of Joy" SU stamp set, another beautiful set to get.
