If you want to make quick and easy holiday cards, purchase these kits on our
website store here. Everything is cut out and ready to color and glue.  Some background papers may vary because of availability, but the results are all perfect.  The fence card is impressive and the gatefold card is simple while looking complicated.  I colored everything with Copic markers, but you can use colored pencils.  Be sure to stock up on Scor-tape and Tombow glues.  And, get crafting for the holidays.

HOW CUTE ARE THESE?  Cardmaking is easy for children or adults with these kits, and affordable too.  Just glue pre-cut pieces together and add embellishments.  You can use ours or your own.  And, envelopes are included.  These are now for sale at our on-line store. Be sure to get some Scor-tape and Glue Dots while you’re there for easy gluing.  Kids won’t remember what you got them for Christmas, but they will always remember the fun you had while crafting together.

Altered Notepads

October 12th, 2011 crftyjh 1 comment

I love to keep lists!  Lists of gifts for people, things to do, ideas to try etc.  You can alter any plain inexpensive notepad to make list making more fun.  Here are some examples of seasonal pads we are taking to the church holiday event in November.  You can use any size.  Just cover the front with cardstock add decorative paper and put a band over the top to hold it together.  Then embellish to your heart’s content.  I used BoBunny designer paper and Stampin’ Up paper.  Cardstock is Stamp Express quality cardstock.  Stamps are from Stampavie and JustRite.  Buttons and flowers are from my stash.  Ovals were cut with Stampabilities  Nesties dies.  Use Scor-tape so everything will hold up well with use.  These supplies are for sale at www.stampexpressstore.com.

Non-traditional Christmas

We usually think of red and green for Christmas items.  I thought I’d try some different colors to see how they work.  The beige, cranberry, and forest green gives an oldtime antiquish look.  Paper is BoBunny and Stamp Express.  Stamp is from JustRite, and dies are Spellbinders Nestabilities.  Of course, cranberry, forest, and beige are just various shades of red, green and white.

The warmest wishes card uses pink, lime and white.  Again it is a matter of shades of the red and green.  Stamp is JustRite, paper from BoBunny and Stamp Express.  The embossed part uses C’ordinations with a Cuttlebug folder and then sanded.  Ovals are Nesties and buttons from my stash.

Finally, the shaped card (using Nesties) is all aqua and green with white accents.  The ornaments are JustRite cling stamps, paper is BoBunny and Stamp Express, ink from Memento by Tsukineko.  All supplies are available at www.stampexpressstore.com.  Order now and use your 10% off coupon for October.
