Little Red Birds All Sparkly for the Holidays

This next set of cards features the cutest little red birds that I cut out by hand from the same DSP I used on the last three posts.

The sentiment on the first card was stamped directly on the printed ornament on the dsp.

My second card had the perfect space for the "Merry Christmas" sentiment, so I stamped it directly on the dsp just above the gittered and glazed trim.

For the third card I used two different SU stamps.  I stamped the sentiment and snowflake image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock, punched out the portions I wanted to use from each image and glued them on the red glittered ornament that was part of the dsp.

The little bird is adhered with a pop dot to add some dimension and make him look like he's perched on top of the scalloped border.

I'll take a picture of the glittered and glazed DSP and post it with the next and last set of cards I made from it.

Recipe -- Design Series Paper With A Glaze

The last two posts have featured cards from a 12" x 12" sheet of DSP which sports a glittery glaze.  Don't quote me on this, but I think it's from My Mind's Eye.

Anywho......here is another set of cards from that same sheet of DSP:

 

I don't always have a favorite, but I love this last card with the gingham bow and JustRite Christmas ornament stamp & Joy sentiment. 

 

All of the cardstock (except the DSP) are from Stampin' Up! as well as the sentiments and punched out shapes on the first two cards. 

 

Two more sets of cards coming up from this one 12" x 12" sheet of DSP.



Another Set of Cards For the Craft Fair

I have been having so much fun creating cards for the up-coming craft fair.  The last post, this one and a few more will feature cards I made from a 12" x 12" sheet of DSP that was given to me at a crop a couple of years ago.

The aqua dotted swiss paper is some I picked up at Tuesday Morning two or three years ago.  It paired up really well with the DSP.  Sentiments and cardbases are from Stampin' Up!.

I'll show another set of cards from this same sheet of DSP on my next post.

Shimmery Dry-Embossed Card Mats for Christmas

I found some great 8 1/2" x 11" paper at Michaels that has a shimmery side.  It's called Precious Metals Cardstock Paper and it's by Recollections.  It comes with 10 each of 5 different colors.

Here's a couple of the cards I made using the shimmery white cardstock:

 

 

 

When the light hits the paper just right you can see it has a gold shimmer.  The snowflakes are punched from the same paper.

 

 

 

 

 

More photos later. Back to making more goodies for the craft fair.

Sparkly & Festive Snowmen

There's a local craft fair in my community in a few weeks.  I have been crazy busy making cards and other goodies for it which is why I haven't posted pictures of any of my new items in the past few days.

Here's a couple of cards from one of the Christmas card sets:

 

 

The pictures don't do the snowmen justice as they are glazed and have a dusting of ultra fine glitter to make them all sparkly.  So cute and festive!

Handmade Card from 10/9/2013 Post with Sentiment

I posted one of my cards a couple of days ago that I forgot to stamp a sentiment on.  Here is a picture of the completed card using a stamp from SU's Thanks for Caring set.

Tomorrow I will share a couple of photos of some Christmas cards I just finished for a craft fair here in Florida.

Hugs,

More Gabrielle Cards to Share

Okay........now for the final three cards I made using BoBunny's Gabrielle Elegance and Unwritten DSP.

 

 

 

On the first card above I stamped the tag using one of the Vintage Vogue stamps by SU.  The bird on the branch and sentiment are from Silhouette Sentiments by SU.

 

 

I die cut the butterfly image from the dsp used as the mat on the second card.  The die cut mats cover the negative space.

 

 

Uh, oh.......looks like I forgot to stamp my sentiment on the oval mat of the third card.  I'll stamp it and post the new photo tomorrow.  I love the little butterfly charm dangling from the bow on this card.  To match the color palette, I colored it with alcohol ink.

 

More cards to post tomorrow!
