Some more vintage look cards, this one the poinsettia paper is Making Memories, and the gold stripe is Graphic 45, as is the rounded top image. I added the reverse cranberry color in a block and matted it with scallop punched gold stripe. I hand drew my stitching lines, then I popped up the tree piece with my Glue Arts UcutIt foam. I placed champagne pearls on the bottoms of the candles on the tree, and also glittered the tree with some cheapie stickles like glitter.
I took a couple berry stems and curled them and tucked them in the card, along with some pretty cranberry seam binding that I topped with a button and twine. I also put on a Petaloo flower I sprayed wtih some light pink and cream misters, and put some fake stickles in the center of the flower. Lastly I added an American Crafts sticker for the greeting popped on more UcutIt foam.
I couldn't resist one more card with this pretty santa scene cut from the Graphic 45 paper, I layered it on more Graphic 45 paper, and added this stunning large Petaloo flower I misted with plum and sage. I tucked a sage and green seam binding ribbon bow, topped with a couple jingle bells and a twine button combo.
Again, I used some fake stickles ( got this tube for $1 at the craft store) and outlined the scene and topped santa's beard and hair with it, as well as the middle of the flower. I popped up my American Crafts sticker with some UCutIt foam too.
and finally this pretty fun card, which is totally different!! I also received some Mitten Weather from Cosmo Cricket as a sponsorship with Cricut Circle blog, and because they were so generous, have plenty to make cards with as well. So I created this card with christmas colors and purple!
First I mounted the greeting block on kraft then punched the scallops. I also added gems to the centers of some of the flowers on the tree.
I added this border strip along the side, and glittered some snowflakes I just drew on the pattern, then I topped them with clear and glitter ( American Crafts) buttons. I put a couple of the chipboard hearts on there and then added seam binding ribbon and bow topped with button misted in browns and light purple.
Lastly today, since I am prescheduling this post as we have two parties to attend tomorrow, I will announce the winners of last weeks blog candy.
