Christmas Present Tag!

Keeping with the 'Twas the Night Before Christmas theme, I created this cute Christmas present tag! I used another cute image from PeggyLovesVintage and some cute reindeer paper. I arranged it so there are 8 tiny reindeer!! :) I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo distressing ink and added some vintage Christmas ribbon. I also rounded all my corners. I topped my tag off with some gold ribbon and wrote "to" and "from" by hand. I better get cracking on more of these tags if I want to have enough for Christmas!

'Twas the Night Before Christmas...Card!

Good evening everyone!! I recently won some free vintage Christmas digis from Ms. Peggy at PeggyLovesVintage and needed to put them to good use! Over at PolkaDoodles this week the challenge is "Twas the Night before Christmas". This cute image reminded me of the point in the poem when the narrator sees Santa. I used some Christmas scraps I had and inked them up with Vintage Photo distressing ink. I sewed around the red holly paper and layered my papers. I used my Cricut and the Tags, Bags and Boxes cartridge to cut out a 2inch scalloped tag which I inked as well. I was fresh out of thin brown twine so I used thin white twine and inked it to make it look brown! The sentiment is handwritten. I topped off the card with a flower and called it done business! Thanks again to Peggy for the great set of Santa cutouts!!

Happy Thanksgiving Card!

Howdy all! I hope you're having a great Saturday and aren't we all loving the long weekend?! I was bestowed an awesome gift by Mr. Dustin Pike (free digis!!!) and needed to put it to good use right away. The Thanksgiving challenge is still going on over at Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog and so here is my second entry. I absolutely LOVE this image. The great thing about this digi is that it came colored already!! LOVE that! Made it easy for me to create this 5.5x5.5inch card. I used my good ol' distressing tool to distress the edges of the background papers and then inked them with Vintage Photo Ink. I also inked the white image square. Some twine and stick on flowers topped off the card!

Thanksgiving Thanks!

Over at the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog, the theme this week is Thanksgiving. As I don't have a turkey image from Doodle Dragon (it's on its way!) I went for a harvest-y feel. For me Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for the people in your life and the blessings around you. So here is a little creation I made to use as a Thanksgiving Thank You card. I used a Dustin Pike image and colored him with pencils. I distressed all the edges (even the mat circle!) and used Vintage Photo Ink to ink them all (including the white inner circle). I used the same ink to stamp the thank you sentiment. Topped this cutie off with some neutral flowers and a twine bow!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I created this cute little turkey card today. I used some nice vintage papers and my cricut with the Create A Critter cart. I inked the edges of everything in Vintage Photo Ink and created the little Thank You sentiment on the computer.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card!

One more Quick and Easy Christmas Card for you tonight! This image is from Dustin Pike. I colored him in using watercolor pencils and matted him with a metallicy green paper. I doodled around the white edge with red for a finished touch. I used my Sizzix Texture Boutique and the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder on the white cardstock. Added the red ribbon and adhered the image. DONE! Again, SO easy!

"S" is for Snowman Card!

Here's another Quick and Easy Christmas Card I whipped up tonight. I used the Cricut and Stretch Your Imagination cart to create the circle frame and Doodlecharms to make the snowman. I cut the frame at 5inches and adhered it to a 5x5 white card. I cut the snowman at 2inches twice, once using the blackout feature and once using the regular cut. I colored his nose orange (instead of cutting the snowman again in orange...trying to save paper! lol) and traced around his outer edge with Diamond Dust Stickles. I added the Merry Christmas tag and DONE! Super easy!
