12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts: Day 2 – Ornaments card

day2_ornaments1Good morning and welcome to day two of my 12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts!  What a difference one day can be from another. Yesterday the temperature got up to 64 degrees and today it’s barely 40 and cloudy.  Brrr… Makes me want to crawl under a blanket with some tea!

Today’s card I used an old Hero Arts stamp set and stamped several on a sheet of Copic paper and then colored them up with my Copics and cut them out.  I attached them to the card with some brads and used pop dots to add dimension to one of the ornaments. I used Stampin Up paper as the card base and added some corrugated paper for more texture to the card. I left the inside blank.

I hope you are having a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow with another creation!!

12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts: Day 1 – Cardinal Card

December 1, 2014 by 3 Comments

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a nice holiday. I had a great time. We stayed with my in-laws for 3 days and it was a lot of great food and fun. This morning we had a slow start back to school and I had to drive Nicholas’ lunch to school which I somehow forgot to pack in his bag!

So I thought it might be fun to have my very own 12 days of holiday cards and crafts for this blog.  So today is day one and I made his card using a Stampendous stamp that I have had for way too long without using it. I made a top-folding card and used Stampin Up Cardstock for the base and I cut a strip of glitter paper for more sparkle.  The flower is from the dollar bin at Michael’s.

I used a Flourishes stamp for the greeting inside.  I just love birds and Cardinals are one of my favorites. I just had to have this stamp when I saw it. I also love that the sheet music was part of the image too. Very cool. So I used a little Distress ink to age the paper a bit.

My props were super easy: Dollar store plate and some ornaments I use on my mini tree I put up in my craft room.

I hope you are all having a blessed day and keep on crafting!

Quick Christmas Haul at Target

November 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Nov4_2014crafthaulLately, it seems like Target has been cutting way back on scrapbooking supplies.  A sad sign of the times unfortunately.  Which saddens me but I still walk the aisle and peek at the few things they do have. I found these cute stickers there. The animal stickers are dimensional and they have a kind of old-fashion feel to them. I can’t wait to use them on a project. A Tuesday Morning opened up here this year and I have found some great bargains there. I like to have some local resources.

Well have a blessed day friends!

Tag Tuesday #3: Let it Snow

November 18, 2014 by 2 Comments

nov18_2014aGood morning and Happy Tag Tuesday! It’s sunny here this morning but really cold.  So it’s a great time to be at my craft table. Today’s tag makes me think more of a bookmark but I guess you could use it for either purpose. I am in no way suggesting the white stuff start falling with the sentiment I chose. Just thought it went well with the image.

nov18_2014bI colored up one of my older Greeting Farm stamps. This was my first time creating a blonde combo for hair color. Then I cut her out and I used white cardstock to make a little snow mound that she could stand on and the sentiment is from a very old sticker sheet I bought with all sorts of holiday greetings.  I used Stickles on her ear muffs and fur trim. I used silver on her pompoms.

I hope you are all staying warm and squeeze in some time to create.

Have a blessed day!

Belinda
