Christmas Cards and a Gift Card Holder

Hello crafty friends! How is everybody doing this week? I have been busy playing catch up from a 5 day trip to Missouri (from Ohio) for Thanksgiving. On the way home I got to meet 3 of my online crafty friends face to face! That was so much fun! :) I made some cards and a gift card holder to share with you today! They are all quick and easy projects! Here they are...

For this card I used the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge.I cut the card out at 5 1/4 inches. I added some green glitter paper behind and added stickles on the stocking top and the white border strip. The sentiment is a rub on.

For this card I used the Gingerbread Cricut cartridge. I cut the stocking out at 3 inches. The papers are all by Echo Park from the Very Merry Christmas line.

For this card I used the Word Collage Cricut cartridge. I cut the "collage" out at 4 1/2 inches. I inked the edges with Vinatge Photo distress ink.

For my last project I used the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. I cut the little bag out at 4 inches and the stars at 1/4 and 3/4 inches. The stamp is by CTMH.

Just wanted to share a photo of all of my kiddos at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield Missouri. Aren't they sweet? I am so blessed!!


Hope you like my quick projects today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to leave me a comment so I know you were here!

TGIF and celebrate card

 

yay..it's friday! the weekend has officially started. hope every one has some fun things planned this weekend!

i have an all day crop to attend tomorrow with a bunch of my crafty friends. i'm so excited..can't wait! comment and tell me what you are doing! i'd love to hear about it. :) so, i made another card today just to have when i need one. i find that cards are so much faster so i can actually finish one of them in a bit. a layout takes me forever and i'm usually still not happy with it! for this card i used kraft cardstock for the base, my minds eye papers, (both sides of one) my close to my heart cricut cartridge for the cupcake cut at 2 1/2 inches, ctmh cupcake stamp,  (if you haven't seen this the cartridge has stamps with it and tells you exactly what size to cut it so you can stamp it with for a perfect fit) viva decor pearl pens for the "pearls", glue arts dimensional dots, inkadinkadoo inks (brown and black), a piece of ribbon from my stash, and my threading water border punch by fiskars, and a stapler. i have had the viva decor pearl pen for a long time and never think to use it. i think it looks pretty nifty! lol well, that's my card for today, kids!  ;)  thanks so much for dropping by! i hope you have a great, crafty weekend! xo,hl
