Christmas Cards

Here are a few more of the Christmas cards I made in October. I used paper dolls, create a critter and stretch your imagination. All the patterned papers were from DCWV Christmas stack from last year.

Throwback Thursday Challenge

The challenge this week on My Creative Time was to make a Christmas themed project with the Celebrations cartridge. I don't own this cartridge so I looked through the older ones I own and found this cute snowman on the Stretch your Imagination. He had a bunch of little cuts but in the end he was cute enough to justify all the fuss. His "belly buttons" were cut using a dollarstore mini hand punch which worked perfectly as they were tiny enough. I was inspired by this non-Christmas colours paper that came in my DCWV Holiday pack that I picked up last year on Clearance after Christmas (got to love those great deals)! Thanks for visiting!

Ice Cream Cone Cards

I was just uploading all the pictures off my camera and realized I had taken a picture a while ago of some cards that I made for a BBTB2 Challenge blog and totally forgot to post it :( Anyways obviously the challenge is over but I thought I would still share because I love the way they turned out! I am going to be giving them as a gift set.
Happy Crafting!

A Wedding Card

I am heading to a wedding tomorrow and wanted to make a simple card to go along with the gift that I purchased. I love how the card turned out but well taking the picture was quite the mission! I got some metallic card stock which I have discovered does not like to be photographed. Too much light and I had a terrible glare, flash not going to happen, not enough light equals blurry, side view looks white, etc. In the end I did what I could because like I said I really love it and wanted to share my creation! The pictures do nothing for it but everyone here is crafty so use your wonderful imaginations! In the last picture you can see where I got my inspiration for the colours. Thanks for looking!
