Christmas Card 2011 Number 4

I love techniques and making cards is a wonderful way to experiement with lots of them and get fast results.  On this card I used torn paper layers, stitching and a bit of bling to create a very pretty card that I think the recipent will enjoy. 

This card only took a few minutes to create and the end result is nice.  I used my Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the tree shape and another Close To My Heart stamp design to go with it. 

I could really see adding a few rolled flowers to another version of this die cut....Aww my creative juices are flowing now!  Better get off this and get busy!
Until next time....

Christmas Card 2011 Number 3

This was the first card I created and I am really please with how it turned out.  I cut all the shapes using my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  With over 700 shapes I truly could create cards for a year and not use them all!  Anyway, I found a design I liked and went with it.. ...I stitched around the background paper and attached it to my card base.  I then layered the other elements and added a bit of detail with my gel pen and glitter.  The Close To My Heart Stamp on the ornament is a design that works with the cartridge die cut.  That's one great thing about this cartridge is the stamp set that are designed to go with it!  Lot's of creative opportunities with that! 

Until next time..

I have been really busy creating cards to send to volunteers who serve in CEF's After School program. These wonderful servants invest thier time, talent and enegry into the lives of boys and girls who may not otherwise hear about the love Christ has for them. I wanted to send them something special to acknowledge thier efforts.

Over the next few days, I will post a card that I created for them.  Here is card 3! 

This card is a very simple design with a lot of wow effect.  I used my copics to color my focal stamped image.  I then cut out the flower shape on my cricut.  I used a CTMH border to create the glitter border. This worked out great.  I pealed off the adhesive backing sprinkled it with glitter nad waala!  Instant glitter border!  It's beautiful and I wish you could see all the sparkly goodness up close.  I punched circles with my circle punch.  I then used a CTMH background stamp to add a bit of texture, cut them in half and added them to the bottom of  my card. 

I hope you have enjoyed looking and I would love to hear your comments.

Until next time....

I had lots of fun creating the fun shapes with my Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  The cupcake and layered tag at the top of the page were both cut with my cricut and then stamped using the coordinating stamp sets that come with the cartridge.  I added a bit of glitter bling to the cupcake for icing and a flower from my stash.  The paper is pack of Graffic 45 that I pick up at Hobby Lobby. 

Until next time...
