I have a drawer in my Dream Box that I have full of Christmas papers. I recently sorted and organized this drawer into sets of cards that would be easy to pull out and make in one cardmaking session. I even sketched out a little sketch and attached it with the papers. So today, I pulled out a set from that drawer. 

I was able to create 7 cards from that little set. 

You can create some cards as well and enter them in the Build Your Holiday Stash Linky Party.

Unfortunately, the papers were left over from another session some time ago and I did not have any indication with them as to what the collection or company these papers come from.

BYSHC Linky Party Day 2 | N2S Gingerbread House

 

Hello, I am back for day 2 of the Linky Party! I am thrilled to be able to show you my creations today. I created 4 cards using a super simple sketch, the paper pad, cardstock, ephemera, and some enamel dots!

You can link up your creation by going to the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Blog and share your holiday creation. There are lots of awesome prize sponsors!  

So for my process, I always pick the sketch first.

Next, I choose however many pattern papers the sketch calls for. Then, I choose any solid cardstock colors. I move on to cutting all the papers and die-cutting anything if need be. After that, I adhere all my cut pieces to my card base, then add my ephemera (in this case). Lastly, I embellish with enamel dots, bling, sparkle pen, or other embellishments.

Shown are my 4 cards here. *Note 1 card only has one strip behind the focal panel because I did not have another piece that matched and I didn't want to cut into another whole sheet of paper. 

Supplies can be found here:

Gingerbread House Paper Pad

Gingerbread Cookies Ephemera

Let's Get Cool Collection Enamel Dots

Build Your Holiday Stash Spring Into Christmas Hop Day 2

 

Hello Crafty Friends! I am back today showing you what you can do with the Mystery Collections that I am offering up as a prize for being a sponsor. I took the 6 pieces of paper, and 2 of the embellishments to create these super quick and simple cards! I did not even use one of the embellishments or the stamp in my projects today....you see I needed very quick cards cause I was gone all day to watch a grandson play baseball! Hope you enjoy my cards!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

Guest Design for Pink and Main...Day 4 (Final Day)

 

For my final day of guest designing for Pink and Main I thought I would use the super cute Pig Time stamp set. This set is absolutely adorable and perfect for making a set of cards with the four cute little piggies! 

I used the scraps from my first set of floral cards to create the side banner on my layout and then just used. a card stock stitched circle element to ground my little piggy images on. For simplicity and mass producing I made all my cards have the same layout and elements. I then stamped the sentiment to go with each image in the lower right hand corner.

My Monthly Words: February

 

Hello Everyone....yes I know that February has come and gone! I failed to keep up with my words for each month. So, I wanted to do a catch up post...my word for February was love! It was a wonderful month for me. I was able to get a whole lot done with my crafting...of which the second definition applies in this case. I absolutely have a great interest in cardmaking, crafting, and creating! I actually don't know what I would do without it.

My intense feeling of deep affections for my family are extremely important to me. I love being able to do things for my family. I am enjoying having the extra time to spend with my husband lately and looking forward to more quality time soon with the grandkids!

Thanks so taking the time to read and take interest in my catching up. Join me on Monday March 29th as I wrap up the month of March with March's word for the month.
