It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


It looks like I was busy on Thanksgiving Weekend! Since it was World Card-Making Day, I just had to celebrate by creating a little Christmas magic. Christmas cards are my favourite cards to make. And to be truthful, I make them all year round.

I love love love the Sizzix Flip-It Square die! (Haven't seen it yet? Click here for a little taste of what you can do). I got it as soon as it came into the Scrapbooking Cafe Online). The first time my boyfriend saw one of my Flip-It cards, I thought he was humoring me, but he was in awe of the card, and how it flipped. He said, "Is this what we went down to Ingramport for?" I nodded. "Well then," he said, "it was totally worth it!"

He played with the Christmas cards I made yesterday for a good 2 minutes, watching the way the flip. Open. Close. Open. Close. Yep...typical man! Amused by the little things in life! :)

Supplies:
Sizzix Flip-It Square Die
Very Vanilla and Gumball Green card stock, Be of Good Cheer and Festival of Prints, printed paper: Stampin' Up
The Sounding Joy stamp set, Stampin' Up
More Merry Messages stamp set (greeting on inside of card), Stampin' Up
Nativity stamp (TBD - I can't remember the brand!)
Bling, Recollections

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU!

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU!

I reworked the card a bit. Added a bigger circle and moved the flower down. I think they both look good. Just playing around with the design a little more.
