Warm Wishes ~ Christmas cards

I made this Christmas card two days ago.. and today decided to finally get around to cutting all the layers needed to make 10 more. I have them all ready to put together now.



supplies:
card stock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
pattern paper: Stampin' UP! DSP
stamps: Santa is Inkadinkado and sentiment is Made with Love from Hero Arts
ink: Distress inks Red and Green
accessories: brads, button, twine and Dimensionals

**I am not using buttons on the cards that I cut all this stuff our for.. I used it on the first one because I had stamped my Santa so close to the top and it looked funny, so I added the button for interest.. I am concerned with the button making the card bulky for mailing, so I am going to leave them off.

Your Kindness is Truly Appreciated

I made this card a few days ago and had set it aside.. I had forgotten where I had set it and today while getting ready to cut some card stock for some Christmas cards, I seen it sitting on a shelf. I thought I'd share it. Super easy card. It uses a nestabilities die that I had wanted for so long and none of the stores in El Paso ever got any in.. then after we moved I walk into an AC Moore store and they have all these sets of dies on sale from $19.99 to $10.00.. and there it was.. I was super happy because it only ended up costing me $9.00 ~ AC Moore graciously gives a military discount every day.. thanks AC Moore!!

I used some My Mind's Eye pattern papers.. some stamps from Hero Arts ~ don't throw anything, I forgot the name and it's downstairs.. yikes! should've remembered to bring it up here with me. I think it's something like Made With Love.. oh yeah!! that is the name.. I googled it up and it is the one.

While the piece that I cut was still in the die, I sponged in some distress inks.. that way you get a nice white border around your piece.

OWH VCMP Challenge #6 ...... Happy Birthday

This card is for the OWH VCMP Challenge #6 Using Punches ~ and Sketch #136.

This card was super easy! I already had the blue piece attached to the brown layer because it was the beginning of this card. I had to change that card to a square card to make everything fit.. this piece was laying on my desk and I already had a card base cut and scored.. so I went from there. The ice cream cones are on some pattern paper in a My Mind's Eye paper pad.. I punched them out, layered them on other punched out circles.. stamped the sentiment and put all the pieces together.

Here is the sketch I used:

OWH VCMP Challenge #3 & Bonus Sketch.. Thanks So Much

The #3 (great number by the way) OWH VCMP Challenge is to make a card using snowflakes.. but not a Christmas card and using the layout on a Bonus Sketch for this week.

I used some of the beautiful light blue shimmery paper I got at Tuesday Morning last week.. along with some pattern paper from a My Mind's Eye paper pad.. and the sentiment is from a Hero Arts stamp set.

This is the sketch I used:

OWH VCMP Challenge #4 & 10... So Sweet Of You

The #4 OWH VCMP Challenge was called "Triple Time Stamping".. the #10 challenge was "Home Sweet Home".. the state flower of North Carolina is the Flowering Dogwood.

I used a Hero Arts Dogwood stamp to do this... pretty neat technique.

Some random cards I have made the past few days

This first card was so much fun to make.. I love all things "Red, White and Blue".. so
it was an easy color combination to match up this sentiment from StampersBest (use code: airbornewife to save 10% off your order). This sentiment is from an OWH fundraiser set called OWH My Hero. I finally used my MFT Die-namics Chevron Stripes die.. love it!!


This card uses the same everything as a card I made last month.. except I added ribbon and the button to it and didn't put the stars on this one.

Some super quick & easy cards I made using some pattern papers out of a paper stack. I used an MFT stamps and die set called Vertical Greetings.
