Cupcake Card

I've got a challenge up at Turtle Soup today. It's a card sketch and it is just so cute! Here's my take on it.

And here's the sketch

Please stop by and check out all the fun challenges we have going on at Turtle Soup!

Heart Punch Card

I'm so excited to be posting today as this is the first card I've made as a member of the Just Imagine Crafts DT. I've never used Kreaxions punches before but I am already in love with them. I think is is just amazing that you can use one punch and get 4 different results with it.

I used punch #917 without any of the inserts to get the border punch here including the hearts. Did I mention I love these punches!!

Valentine Card

I've got a challenge up at Turtle Soup today. It's to make a tag and use it on a card or layout.

I also tried out a new technique. I dried out some used tea bags and then stamped and embossed them. I love how they turned out with a vintage look. 

Snowman Card

Here's a card I made for the Cards In Envy newest challenge theme, Let It Snow. My new snowman stamp was perfect!

I stamped him and then fussy cut him out and colored him using watercolor pencils, Wink of Stella and Wink of Luna pens. Then embossed the white background with a snowflake embossing folder and added it to a red base card. 

This also fits a challenge at the Turtle Soup mini crop where you had to use snowflakes on your project.

Money Holder

Here's a money holder card I made to hold the Christmas tip I give my hairdresser.  I made it big enough to even hold a giftcard.

This was quick and easy and I made it using only scraps. Love when that happens!

This also fits a challenge in the 12 Days of Christmas mini crop at Turtle Soup. We've got 12 challenges going on and you have until Dec 17th to enter. Please come join us!

Gift Tags

Here are a couple of gift tags I made for my granddaughters.

These were so quick to make. I just stamped the To, From and No Peeking and then added some Washi tape along the bottom.

This also fits one of the 12 Days of Christmas challenges at Turtle Soup. Only a couple of more challenges to go but you can enter up til Dec. 17th. Hope to see you there!

Gift Card Holder

Here's a gift card holder I made the other day. It was so easy!

All I did was cut out 4 4" circles of double sided cardstock and fold them in half. Then just slid them around (this was the hardest part) until I could fold them up into a square. I made a belly band out of some burlap ribbon and added a bow.

This also fits a challenge in the 12 Days of Christmas mini crop at Turtle Soup.  Please stop by and check it out and maybe play along with us.

Christmas Page

We've got a DT sketch reveal up at Turtle Soup today. Please stop by and see all the different takes by our talented DT members. Here's my layout about my granddaughter playing with one of her Christmas gifts from us. She looks a little puzzled here but it didn't take long for her to figure it out.

Here's the sketch

I just love this sketch and it was fun playing with all those circles.

Hope you can join us!

Christmas Card

Here's a Christmas card made with a stamp I bought last year that I just love. I'm trying to find different ways to use it and saw something similar on Pinterest and thought I'd try it.

This also fits one of the 12 Days of Christmas mini crop challenges at Turtle Soup. This challenge was to use -nontraditional  colors. We have a new challenge going on every day and you have til Dec 17th to submit your projects. Hope to see you there!

Christmas Ornament

I have a challenge up today in the 12 Days Of Christmas Mini Crop going on at Turtle Soup. My challenge is to make a Christmas Ornament. Any kind of ornament you want. I found a tutorial from Graphic 45 for making a glass ornament using tissue paper to stamp on it. I love how it came out and it really was easy.
