Christmas Mail for You

 

Today I am showing you a festive christmas card. It will be for next year though as I already mailed and delivered all the cards for this year.

I used designer papers from Nitwit Collection. I added a piece of white cardstock on top of that. I then added the mailbox of the Greetery. I made that quite a while ago and it was still laying around so now I decided to finally make a card with it. I also used the post stamps of the Greetery that I embossed using gold embossing powder. I added some handmade flowers on top. The flowers are from the poinsettia set of Elizabeth Craft Design. I also added some gold glitter to the white flower. I die cut some envelopes from the Greetery also in colors that matched the card.

I did make the card from inspiration I got from Kelly Lunceford who made a card like this in blue with wisterias hanging over the mailbox.

I will be adding this to the following challenges:
Ruldolph Days December 2025 - Anything Christmas Goes
Christmas Kickstart #105 - Anything Christmas Goes
Sparkles Christmas #179 - Poinsettia
Girlz Creative Christmas #157 - Christmas Mail/Kerstpost

A Birthday Card from scraps

Today I am showing you a card I made after seeing a similar one on Shabby Art Boutique. I had some scraps left so I made the flags for the banner with the designer papers from Nitwit Collection.

I printed some background papers and decided to add a stitched border. I pierced and stitched it by hand so no machine. I felt it gave it more of a shabby look. I then added the flag banner and added some die cut buttons to it. I die cut the buttons several times and glued them together to make it look more like real buttons. The text was printed on the design paper and then cut out. All and all a simple yet elegant birthday card. 

I will add this card to the following challenges:
Girlz Rebel Challenge #47 - Anything Goes/Alles Mag
Girlz Creative Fun Art Of Scrap #17 - Anything Goes Using Designer Papers

It has been a while since posting here

 

So it has been a while since I posted on my blog. The weather is just awful for taking nice photos in this season. The sun was up so I took my chance and got a chance to shoot some somewhat good photos. I will be happy when the sun will show its face a bit more

I made this card for one of my clients who is having her birthday on December 27th. I am actually on vacation but I had to pop into the store so I decided to personally put this in her mailbox. Considering I am having my vacation I am sure she will be surprised today.

I used the Zinnia die set of Spellbinders in purple tones. I don't know the brand for the embossing folder but it's lovely swirly and floral. The sentiment is homemade.

Oh and I am so happy I got the glimmer foil system from Spellbinders for Christmas. I have order a few foiling dies so I can't wait to play around with that. I will sure make some beautiful cards with that.

A Christmas Scrapcard

 

Today I am showing you a christmas card in scrap style. I took digital papers from different collections of Nitwit Collections. I distressed all the edges and added stitching on the flower paper. I pierced the holes by hand and also the stitching is done by hand. This took quite a bit of time but it looks so pretty.
I die cut some labels and heart. I punch some holes in the top of the hearts after I added some white ink on the edge of each heart. I then added some jute thread though the labels and the hearts. 
I added some lace and the hearts and labels on top of that. The sentiment was stamped but I don't remember the brand for this one. The inside is decorated as well to match the front.

It is a bit heavy to mail this one but I can always hand gift this to someone.

I will be adding this card to the challenges below:
52 Weeks to Christmas

A Kitty Cat Christmas Card

Today I am showing you the card I made as a guest designer for the 52 Weeks To Christmas challenge. The theme is to make a christmas card featuring a cat, dog or hamster. I made it into a rocker card.

I used a bucket of Elizabeth Craft Design. I added a cat from Marianne Design in the bucket. I added this onto some designer papers of Nitwit Collection. I used the text circle of Marianne Design and added a red circle behind it so you would see the white words better. To finish it off I added some holly leaves with berries. 

Hope you all join in this lovely challenge

Till next time
