Yes I know that it isn’t even Halloween yet but I thought I’d share a couple Christmas cards that were just published in Just Cards Holidays!
I colored these with my trusty Bic Markits and Made the shaped cards with my Cricut, Accent Essentials Cartridge and design Studio software, easy peasy!
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
And the really cool part is that for every letter that gets put into the mailbox Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make a Wish Foundation. So we all went to the mall to mail our letters to Santa today, I cut envelopes (I used my freebie from yesterday of course) out of festive paper and let them write and draw what they wanted for Christmas inside. The set up there was really cute with a big red mailbox and a desk with paper for kids to make their letters if they hadn’t already, then we were off to see the Jolly Old Elf himself! What a day!
I realized I was a few cards short as I mailed my cards yesterday so here is another quick design I came up with:
Directions: Stamp image on a pre-folded cream card. Trim PP slightly smaller than card front and rip out a window for the stamped image to show through. Adhere to card. Scallop edge of card and ink. Stamp the flourish with white acrylic paint onto PP and sprinkle on red glitter white paint is wet. Add chipboard candy cane with a tagger, silver tag with foam tape and confetti stars with glue.
Don’t forget to visit Macy’s for a memorable moment and a good deed, our trip to the mall was fun and we only spent $2 (that was for the two rides on the carousel!) Talk about frugal! Until next time happy crafting!
Happy Sunday everybody! It sure is a happy one for me, a scare landed one of my daughters in the hospital for a couple of days but we are all home safe and sound now! Of course she enjoyed her stay there so much she didn’t want to leave! She loved having momma’s undivided attention for 2 days strait! My other two kids loved hanging out with dad, and visiting us the the resort, eh I mean hospital, that they didn’t want us to come home either…Let’s face it they all were spoiled this weekend. Here is a card I made before all of the excitement. I used the freebie file folder for yesterdays post. I simply printed it, cut it out and embellished it.
I cut the label (funky frame SVG) from the svg pack in cricut with my SCAL software. Remember when using a svg file you need to import it rather than open it. Then I typed “cool yule” in font Impact and cut it from white cardstock. I stamped it using my brush markers then spayed it with my homemade shimmer spray. I also cut the scallop circle with my cricut and the cute reindeer stamp is from All night Media.
Oh yes, and before my scare at the hospital I came across a wonderful website , Digital Image Plus, offering huge daily packs of vintage Christmas postcards! Love that! You can check them out here, be sure to snag them all! I need to go grab the ones I missed!
Take care, stay healthy and happy crafting!
