It's World Card Making Day!

I just HAD to make sure I posted a couple of cards today since it is WCMD. I have two more Christmas cards to share......both made with stamps from Papertrey Ink. And I am LOVING my Nestabilities as you can tell. I have been using them on almost every card. And for anyone local, I found them for a great price at Pat Catan's.......they run around $15!


This one uses the stamp set Signature Christmas from PTI, a Fiskars border punch, pattern paper from Basic Grey, Labels One Nestabilities from Spellbinders and a felt embellishment from Making Memories ( soooo cute!).




This one uses PTI stamp sets VintageLabels (which coordinates with the Labels One Nestabilities) and Peaceful Poinsettia, Labels One Nestabilities die, and a Fiskars border punch.

Well, that is all from me for today. Have a great weekend everyone!

Christmas cards

As I have said before, I consider myself card challenged. And I was never very interested in stamping. Lately that has changed..........partly because I love the products from Papertrey Ink and partly because my photos are so unorganized I cannot find anything TO scrapbook! I am working on the photos.....but in the meantime I am feeling the need to do something crafty so I have done a few cards here and there. I have not sent out Christmas cards in years because it was one thing that really stressed me out so I just gave it up. This year I am going to make a few to go along with our gifts. Each one will be unique. Just sharing my first one...........thanks for looking!



Supplies:

Cardstock: New Leaf (Papertrey Ink) and Bazzill Basics
Pattern paper:Anna Griffin
Diecuts: Top Note die (Stampin Up)
Stamps: Signature Christmas (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Fresh Snow (Papertrey Ink)
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug Swiss Dot (Provocraft)
Ribbon and button from my stash

Keeping Tabs

I am seriously considering giving everyone on my Christmas list gift cards this year. The challenge will be to package them in a clever and beautiful way. So, I am again going to turn to Timeless Templates designed by Lauren Meader. They make your "gift wrapping" look fabulous and are available for purchase at www.papertreyink.com. This one is called Keeping Tabs. It was so much fun to do....and easy too! Here is the outside.....




And here it is opened up.......


I am thinking it will be perfect to hold a few goodies and a gift card for someone.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics
PatternPaper: Anna Griffin
Stamps: Peaceful Poinsettia and Vintage Labels(Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Ocean Tides, Hibiscus Burst and Spring Moss (Papertrey Ink)
Diecuts: Spellbinders Nestabilities Label One
Buttons and ribbon from my stash

Thanks for looking!
