More Cherry Delight cards

Hi everyone!  With the holiday season in full swing, I thought I'd take a quick minute to share a couple of cards that I created using My Little Shoebox's Cherry Delight.  I know that we are all super busy at this time of year, but I still need to take the time (or squeeze some time in is more like it) to  get a bit crafty.  This is a stress reliever to me and I most definitely need some stress relief this time of year.  Here they are:

 

 A sweet Thank You card- something I truly need this time of year!

 Supplies used: My Little Shoebox Cherry Delight: Charming, Happy Times, Cardstock Stickers, Kiss Mini Alphabet Sticker, Raspberry & Aqua Double Sided Cardstock Paper

 

And a nice little Hi card.  It's always nice to reach out to someone during the holidays to let them know that you are thinking about them and that you care!

Cherry Delight and Christmas cards?

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a happy and safe December!  I have some MLS cards to share with you today.  I had the uber cute Cherry Delight paper line to work with this month and was really excited about that, but then I got to thinking. Scary right, lol.  I love using non traditional papers to create things with and thought, why not use Cherry Delight to create some Christmas cards.  Here is what I came up with.

 

This is my first card.



 

Supplies used: My Little Shoebox Cherry Delight: Bliss, Happy Times, Morning Mist trim pack, Chocolate & Chiffon Double sided Cardstock Paper

 

I made this fun card using the My Little Shoebox/Unity Stamp Co. snowflake stamp set.  I love this stamp- so cute, versatile and perfect all winter!

 Supplies used: My Little Shoebox Cherry Delight: Charming Serenade, Happy Times

 

This last card is just a sweet simple card wishing you all Joy this holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hi everyone.  Hope you are all having a beautiful with your friends and family as we celebrate the most American of traditions- Thanksgiving!  There is so much to be thankful for and I know that we all feel the same about our loved ones, so I'll spare you my list of things to be thankful for.  But I do have a Thanksgiving card to share with you all.  I used the Oh Deer! collection from My Little Shoebox to create this card.

 I always like to find different ways to use the 3D Roll up Flowers and Accents dies, so I used a roll up flowers to create the turkey's feathers- super quick and easy!  Check out the My Little Shoebox blog for more cards and inspiration.

 

One of my holiday traditions is creating place cards for my family every year.  This is what I created this year- Pumpkins!  They are just a series of medallions stacked upon each other with a cinnamon stick as a stem.  Pretty cool and they smell wonderful.

 Here's a close-up

 

Happy Thanksgiving once again and be safe if you plan to shop the Black Friday sales- people can get crazy for a discount, lol!

Getting in the holiday spirit with Punky Sprouts

Hi everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and getting ready for for the upcoming holidays.  We are baking and eating all things pumpkin of late- YUM!

Here are the other two ornament/ tags that I created for Punky Sprouts.  These two are very traditional in color (no pink- what was I thinking!) and great for your tree, gift tags or just a sweet gift (they make great wall hangings as well!).

Here is my first one with Jolly old St. Nick.

 

Here is a close- up of the ornament.

 Supplies used: Rebel Sprout, Lil' Canvas Petals, Lil' Twiney, Lil' Seeds, Lindy's Stamp Gang mist ( get it here)
Other Supplies: Stamp: Stamper's Anonymous, Ink and markers: Ranger, Cardstock: Bazzill, Ribbon: May Arts and Hug Snug, ribbon and sheet music: vintage, flower: My Little Shoebox, pearl: Darice, sheer: Maya Road, Glitter: Martha Stewart, Adhesive: Therm o Web

This is my next ornament.  I stamped and used an iridescent embossing powder to create a resist on my vintage sheet music.  i really enjoy creating a resist on basic papers or cardstock so that I can go back in and crate my own paper using inks and stains.  So fun!! I also used the Lil' Canvas Petals to build this poinsettia.  i misted each petal and built this poinsettia onto a cardstock circle.  When I was making my flower, I realized that I didn't have any gold pearls and it was late at night.  So what's a girl to do? Well, make them of course!  I used some of my ivory pearls, threaded them onto a piece of wire, rolled the pearl in Versamark, sprinkled some gold embossing powder and heated them up ( the wire was a great holder that prevented my pearls from flying all over the place as I used my heat gun and saved me from burning my fingers). The result- gold pearls.

 Here is a close-up.  I needed some leaves and decided to use the Lil' Parchment Blossoms.  I cut them up and inked them.  They take ink wonderfully!

Supplies used: Rebel Sprouts, Lil' Canvas Petals, Lil Parchment Blossoms, Lindy's Stamp Gang Mist and Embossing powder ( get it here)

Other supplies: Trim: Making Memories and vintage, sheet music: Vintage, pearls: Darice, stamp: Inkadinkadoo, Ink: Ranger and Versamark, Viva Pearls in white, Adhesive: Therm O Web and Beacons

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed these ornaments and take the time to create your own!
