Festive Friday Blog Hop #12

Hello, and welcome to another Festive Friday! We are a group of paper crafters and designers creating Christmas Cards every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month (except December). The goal is to inspire all year round and get a head start on crafting holiday cards.

This week I recycled a vintage style post card. The vintage lace is authentic
and a glitter snowflake by Robin's Nest. The paper scraps are Basic Grey, Fruitcake line.

Recycle your old cards with a make over! It's fun.

Another card from my scraps bin, I hate to waste anything crafty :o)
The holly was created for my Robin's Nest Table-scape project.
A little twist on the Holiday theme: to remember my patriotism and freedom.
The Liberty paper is by Robin's Nest, matted onto embossed gold card stock by Frances Meyer. The last layer of paper is glossy red alcohol inked card stock by Murdock Creations.
The metallic red star is by Purple Cows using the Heat It! Tool.
Of course, glitter on the holly berries makes it all work! :o)

This card is a project from my scraps bin, I hate to waste anything crafty :o)
The poinsettia was created for my Robin's Nest Table-scape project.
Left over holiday paper by GCD Studios, Ribbon by May Arts and a small cross-stitch piece.

I'm always saving left over parts and pieces to projects and my scrap paper bin is full too!
Scraps come in very handy when making cards.

Festive Friday Blog Hop #9

Welcome! The Festive Friday Hop is compiled of creative minds sharing Christmas Card ideas on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month-except December. Hop around, be inspired and get your cards done early this year :o)

These cards were so easy to create! I made a few of them. I had a cutting frenzy and set up an assembly line.


Papers: Basic Grey
Snowflake: Spellbinders
JOY: Cricuit
Pre-made large holiday tags: I think they're Basic Gray but if I'm wrong let me know and I'll correct the post. They came on a sheet of 8 and it's not marked.
Distress inks by Ranger
Snowflake Mini Brad
Flourish Stamp by Stampin Up

I simply inked and layered, then added the sentiment.

Be sure to hop around and see all of the designer inspiration this week! Use the link below or in my sidebar.
Cheers!

Lots of layers! The title is printed onto transparency film and held into place with icicle stickles which adds a shimmer to the background.

I altered a clear pouch to hold the Santa cross stitch which is mounted onto sticky board with magnet on the back so the receiver of this card has a fridge magnet gift!! It is held closed at the bottom with three snowflake brads.

A red metallic heart brad and bling replace the word "heart"
The die cut is Cricut embellished with Christmas Red stickles (Ranger Ink)

YES! ANOTHER TREE :o) They are just my FAVORITE.



This tree was really fun, and a little messy.

I spread craft glue (Elmer's) on a non-stick craft sheet approximately 4x6 and covered the glue with a single but full layer of colorful fibers, some metallic. After it tried completely, I peeled it off and cut a triangle from the center holding it horizontally.

I used the two end pieces, bring the uneven edge to the center and overlapping to create the tree shape. I punched a snowflake border (EK Success) from sage card stock and placed it behind the edges of the tree on the background paper.

The gold foil star is Jolee's Boutique. Background paper is GCD Studios.

For me, the "Tree" is the most symbolic of Christmastime. I've had these buttons hanging around for um.............. 8+ years LOL and it was time to give them a purpose. Some of them are fairly small, but Embellie Gellie made my task easier.




This card is 5x7". I cut a piece of textured wallpaper 4.5 x 6.6 then layered it onto patterned card stock. I added some stitched zig zag detailing with gold thread. Next I punched out circles of the patterned paper, using the backside and put dots of The Best Glue Ever! where I wanted the buttons to be. When the glue is dry, use the Embellie Gellie to pick up the buttons and place them onto the glue areas. Viola! Quick and easy. I am a woman of few words :o) If I add a sentiment later it could be a miracle, mostly I write my greetings inside the cards.
