Pop Up Cards for Parents & In-Laws

These are the cards I made for my parents and my  in-laws.  These are various paper pads, stickers and embellishments.  I did make the poinsettias with the Tim Holtz die.

I hope they like them.

 









Pop Up Cards- American Crafts Hot Cocoa Collection

This first box card is from the American Crafts Hot Cocoa collection.  I kept this one pretty simple because I just love the paper.  Some glitter pens, Stickles and snowflake brads were all it needed.



This second box card is also from the American Crafts Hot Cocoa collection.  The collection has so many cutouts that you can use.  This one again I kept simple and used some rick rack ribbon & Stickles.




Christmas Post Card Swap

These post cards were made for a swap on the Cricut message boards.

I used the Graphic 45 Twas the Night Before Christmas paper collection.    Some ribbon, some clear glitter paint, Stickles and glitter pens to accessorize and bling them up.






Gift bags


These gift bags were made for a swap on the Cricut message boards.  We also had to make matching cards and tags.

My partner requested one be a poinsettia theme and the other a toyland theme.

The first one is the poinsettia theme.  I used the Tim Holtz die.  For the backing I used chip board (actually it was a Canada Dry ginger ale carton).  The papers were scraps.  For the glitter i painted over them with some clear glitter paint and then used Stickles.

 


The second bag I used the Graphic 45 Twas the Night Before Christmas collection.  I LOVE this paper.  I also used some stickers from my stash and some little Christmas light bulbs.  






Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Halloween Cards for Swaps

Couple of cards I made for swaps.


This card is what some people call a stair step or Z card.  The papers are from Little Yellow Bicycle, DCWV and My Minds Eye.  The die cuts are from my Cricut and Michaels.



This card is 5 x 7.  The papers are from Michaels.  The images are from http://freedeariedollsdigistamps.blogspot.com.  If you have not checked out this blog, you should.  There are A LOT of really cute images to print out and color.  I colored the images with Copic markers.  I'm learning.  The bling and stickers are from Michaels and the spider web at the bottom is from an old Martha Stewart paper pack.




This is a box card.  Sorry for the bad pictures.  Couldn't figure out how to show the whole card.    The papers are a mixture from Little Yellow Bicycle, Michaels and my stash.  The die cuts are from Michaels.  I really like making the box cards.

I really had a lot of fun making these cards.

Altered Pringles Can Halloween Swap

This swap was a lot of fun.

We had to take an empty can of Pringles and alter it with a Halloween theme.  Had to fill it up with Halloween candy or small gifts.




The paper is a mixture from Little Yellow Bicycle and last year's Recollection Halloween papers.
