Little Christmas Angel!

Hi Everyone!  Here's a cutie share for you today! This is a picture of my niece when she was about 3 years old. She was in a little ballet concert and I found this darling shot in my Mom's picture box. Isn't she a doll? She's all grown up now and still a doll! I couldn't resist making Christmas cards for her Mom and Dad and for her too...she was so surprised and her Mom cried and her Dad had a

From Our House to Yours!

This card was a make and take at one of Alison's meetings....isn't it pretty? I'm in her second level downline and I love to go to her meetings {g} She always has great make and takes and her meetings are so friendly...I also love the new techniques and samples that Alison shares too! I added the little sentiment on the top of the card, it's a retired sentiment...sorry...I can't think of what

A Christmas Wish

Here's another Christmas card share...I have lots more to show you too!There are a lot of great tutorials on this technique, even some videos, but Patty Bennett has a great tutorial here.  For my card I made my own template from the DSP cardboard, instead of using the wooden frame as shown on Patty's tutorial.   I cut circles, lined them up and adhered them together to make my background, so that

Santa's Sleigh

I'm on a roll with my Christmas cards this year! Here's another one for you...I wanted to do a one layer card so I did a faux layer by tearing a strip that looked like snow, then added a circle punch for the moon and then brayered over the top of it with Pacific Point ink for the sky. This was a really easy card to do and I love the effect!  Once I was happy with the sky I used one of my all time

Merry & Bright

I saw this idea ages ago...and of course can't remember where!  It's a fairly simple card to make, I first made a template using the cardboard that comes in our Designer Paper.  I cut a rectangle using my Nestabilities and then taped it to my white layer with painters tape to keep it in place.  Then I sponged Old Olive all over the cut out of the template.  Edited to add:  Thanks so much to Carol

A Christmas Wish

Hi again!Here's another Christmas Card for you....it's a complete case of this card that Christine did. When I saw this card, I absolutely fell in love with it and had the retired DSP to make one like hers. All I did was add a couple of embellishments.  I added some liquid embroidery for snow on the tree and the steps and then added some Iridescent Stickles to it.  I also added some red glitter

Waiting for Santa!

A Christmas Wish

Hi everyone! Are you nearly ready for Christmas?

Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

This is one of my favourite stamp sets, it's called Loads of Love, I think it's been around forever! Don't you just love this little tree? This was a very easy card to make, I cut the medallion at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and centered each side with the scallop border punch to create the cut out edges. I used a smaller square of old olive to mat under the medallion for contrast.  I stamped the little tree

Warm Winter Wishes

I just love this card and the colours! I used Kraft and Soft Suede. Kraft has to be one of my favourite colours to work with...it seems that everything goes with it! First I stamped the Santa and his reindeer in soft suede and then I ran the stamped image piece through my Big Shot using this Cuttlebug folder. I added Platinum Shimmer paint to highlight the snowy areas. I also dotted the
