Season's Greetings

 Hi Everyone,

I am back today with a Christmas card.  I know I might be rushing the season, but the more Christmas cards I finish now, the fewer I need to make later on. LOL

This is a card I made for the monthly club meeting that I host here in my home.

The card theme for June was to use plaid. And plaid always make me think of Christmas. So that's where I went with this card.


I started out with a white 6X6 card and next added a green layer. On top of that I used a plaid CS layer as the background. I decided to add a gold oval in the center of the card and use trees as the focal point. I also embossed the trees with dots and added glitter glue to add sparkle to those trees. I used strips of gold CS to add a border to the top and the bottom areas of the card, I had a sentiment that fit well with the card and used gold embossing powder to continue with the gold in the card.

These are the items I used on the card:
  • CS - White, plaid, gold, green, red 
  • Dies - Oval, Trees (Spellbinders)
  • Ink - VersaMark
  • Misc - Gold EP
  • Stamp Sentiment - Inkadinkado Happy Holidays (Really old set)
Another Christmas card done, and many more to do LOL

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping in today. I will be back soon

Hello

 Hi there everyone,

Thought I'd pop in and share with you a card I made for the monthly stamp club that meets here in my home. This card was for the challenge theme of using some stickers I handed out at the May meeting.

These stickers are so cute IMHO. I get them at the Dollar Tree and they are in the craft section. They are 3D and come pre-colored and you get 5-6 in each pack. I am hooked on them. The leaves you see on the card are in a leaf set also at the Dollar Tree. These stickers really assist you in making a card in quick fashion.(Yes, these are stickers, however I attach them to some CS and trim the CS away and attach to my card with hot glue. I just don't think the adhesive on the backs of the stickers is strong enough.)

I decided to use some small square frames and the solid squares that pop out of the frames when I make my die cuts. I embossed the solid squares with dots for added interest. I also added a border all the way around the card using a gold border sticker. This card is a 5X7 size 


Well this card came together very quickly. 

Products I used on this card:
  • White CS, Purple CS
  • Flowers nd leaves stickers from Dollar Tree
  • Square Dies
  • Border Stickers
  • Memento Elderberry Ink
  • Stamp Hello (Old)
I am submitting my card in the following challenges:

Hope this card will give you some ideas for a future card.

Thanks for stopping by today. I will be back soon
