Cutie Pie Birthday Card

For my friends that just bought the December Stamp of the Month, Cutie Pie, I wanted to post another card. Today is the last day it's available and it has so many more possibilities than I'm sharing.



This card is for my granddaughter whose birthday is this weekend. I used the CTMH Heartstrings paper pack again.

I included some puffy glittery hearts, a pearl on top of the stamped cupcake, and a strip of white shimmer trim tape on the left side. I colored the cupcake with alcohol ink markers and embossed the pink panel with a hearts embossing folder (not CTMH).

Thank you for visiting! Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve!

Cutie Pie Anniversary Card

For my friends that just bought the December Stamp of the Month, Cutie Pie, I wanted to post a couple of cards. Today is the last day it's available and it has so many more possibilities than I'm sharing.



The first is for an anniversary card for a young couple and the next is for my granddaughter whose birthday is this weekend, on the next post. I used the CTMH Heartstrings paper pack for both.

This anniversary card uses three of the stickers that go with the Heartstrings paper (hearts and arrow). I bent the banner squares acrylic stamp, cutting slightly between each one along the bottom and colored them with alcohol ink markers. I stamped two hearts on the title banner and added a white enamel heart and some puffy glittery hearts. I also included a heart and a bow tie on the two heart stickers.

Good Tidings Angel Christmas Card

Last week's free verse at Word Art Wednesday (#162) is perfect to pair with this angel from the Cricut Cartridge, Inspired Heart.

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday #375.



A 5" x 7" snow embossing folder embossed the card front. I printed the verse on last year's CTMH "Frosted"winter paper. The other starry cardstock is from DCWV, "The First Noel."  I used CTMH Black Glitter cardstock behind the angel to hopefully represent the winter night sky.

White and Silver Snowy Glad Tidings Card

I was inspired to make a white on white Christmas card.  I wanted to use Word Art Wednesday's great verse from last week for my Christmas cards this year. Because of the great news that the soon-to-be-born baby would be called Jesus for He would "save His people from their sins," I paired it with the CTMH stamp sentiment, Mary and Babe, about this being Glad Tidings of Great Joy!

I apologize for the poor lighting these dark wintery days that made my black print look brown:

I embossed the white panel on front with a Cuttlebug snow folder. I put a strip of white glitter trim on the bottom of the panel. I used the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the snowflake tag. I stamped and embossed the bottom front with my Glad Tidings sentiment and small snowflake in the middle of the cutout using Versamark and Ranger Super Fine Silver Embossing Powder.  The top of the tag has satin ribbon and a row of white opal Liquid Pearls.

This was a fun, easy Christmas card to make in multiples. Thank you for visiting. May you be blessed as you craft your own for family and friends.

December Christmas Card Workshop

Here are part of the cards we are making on Saturday, December 6, 2014. This post is to help the crafty ladies coming that may need to complete a card or two. Each lady will receive half a package of Yuletide Carol paper pack and half a package of Snowhaven, gold sequins, silver and gold glitter paper, card bases, and twine/ribbon/trim. All of the pieces are pre-cut and individually packaged. Here are a few using the Yuletide paper images with additional stamping:

Two of the Yuletide Carol cards are swing cards cut using the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge.  Here is one I previously posted:

Here are cards previously posted that use the Snowhaven papers and an older snowflake paper:

I will post more individual information on the Yuletide Carol cards later! If you're not coming to our workshop, perhaps these can be inspiration for some of your own!
