Bird Christmas Card

This time of year, I tend to make a lot of Christmas cards.  

This is one of a set that I made for a friend's silent auction to raise money for the adoption of their son.

I started with a kraft 5"x7" top fold card.  I then made a base of dark blue 4.5"x6.5".  The bird was made on my Cricut Expression and then I added a few details with marker.  The snow is simply a piece of cut cardstock, and some Stickles glitter paint.  I then added the Merry Christmas with a stamp and white pigment ink.

Thanks for looking!

Stamping with pigment ink and embossing powder

This week on Practical Scrappers I was challenged to do something with stamps.

I chose to use white pigment ink and then cover the ink with clear embossing powder while it was still wet. I dried the butterfly with a heat gun and then fussy cut the stamped and embossed image.

The papers are from My Mind's Eye, My Girl line, which I love!  The "SMILE" bubble is also a chipboard embellishment from the My Girl line.

Alyson 10 Months

This is a layout I did for a Practical Scrappers feature using Staples or Paperclips.  I used staples to make the pocket at the top of the page.  I then tucked a tag in the pocket that I had written some of Alysons favorite things at that time.

SWEET

This background was made by using a jar lid to stamp the circles.  Close to My Heart's Purple Haze ink was used on lavender cardstock.  I used my Cricut to cut out the word Sweet and layered with Momenta papers.

Christmas Cards

I've been working on some Christmas cards to sell in my aunt's antique store and thought I would share a few here. Sorry the pictures aren't great.

Welcome Levi

This is my son's birth announcement. It took a little help from a friend to get these done but we did it! The giraffe and stars are stamped from Close To My Heart's "Welcome Baby" set.
