Christmas Girl

Happy Thursday everyone.  Did you all make it through the Holidays ok?  I know my Christmas was Wonderful!!  I love having my children all together at home.  Having the grandchildren there too is a fabulous bonus!!   Love them to pieces.   

Well today is my day to post for Jen's Digi stamps. I just love her stamps, so so cute :)  Today, even though it is not Christmas and it has passed us by, I still wanted to do a Holiday image, so I chose "Christmas Girl".  You can purchase her here.  I hate to see the Holidays end.

I used pink Core'dinations card stock for the base, for this Center Step card.  I started with a 5 and 1/2 by 11 card base.   Measured one inch in on both sides of the card and then cut from the one inch mark to the 6 and 1/2 inch mark..... Scored at 5 and 1/2 inches in between the cut lines and then scored at 1" and 2" and then 6 and 1/2".  Mountain valley fold and there is your center step card.

You can see the tutorial at SplitCoast Stampers here.

I used the red Stickles for her ear rings.

(love these flowers)

( I used the stickles here on the hearts and berries)

Supplies used:

Core'dinations card stock

Christmas patterned paper from stash

Letraset Promarkers

Stampin Up red. marker

Stampin up Holly Stamp

CTMH  Honey marker

red Stickles

1/2 pearls

Prima flowers

red ribbon

star dust Stickles

red 1/2 pearls

Stampin up large oval punch

ctmh stamp

Dcwv metallic paper

I hope you like todays' card, I am happy with how it came out.  I still need a lot of practice with the markers, but I am having fun trying.

Happy Crafting........Cathy

Jen Sitting On A Gift

Good morning my crafty friends,  Today I sharing a Design team post for Jen's Digi Stamps.  I am using the digi stamp, which you can purchase in her store here.

"Jen Sitting On A Gift"

I used Letraset Promarkers to color her in,  and then i cut her out so I could add her to the card after with 3 dimensional pop dots/  I used a light blue base from Michael's Recollections card stock,  finished card size is 5 and 1/2 by 5 and 1//2.  the next mat was bright green at 5 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/4. and then pink at 5 by5.  I used Christmas patterend paper with ornaments in the background. and so I used Cricut Artiste cartridge ornament cut at 2 inches to add on the base with a dimensional to help hold the card up.

For bling, I used some purple  Recollections buttons covered with glitter that I found on clearance at Michaels to give it some dazzle.  For the ribbon, I received today in the mail from fellow crafter Michelle Smith,a pretty green with blue polka dots, which is the opposite of how I colored the bow on the present so it worked out great!  On top of the ornament on the base,I added a pretty purple bow that has a small pearl on it. Then to finish it off...a little Stickles on the headband, scarf and leggings.

I hope you liked Jen Sitting On A Gift !!

Make sure you stop over to Jen's Digi Stamp shop and pick up a digi today:)

Please stop back again!

Happy Crafting...Cathy

Christmas Tear Bear

Happy Tuesday everyone:)  I was at it again last night making Christmas cards for special people in my life.  And of course who doesn't like a little tear bear on their card???  I actually used the Panda Bear template from the Beary Scrap to make the bear, I wanted a little bigger bear.  I cut out a Christmas stocking from the Art Philosophy cartridge and added my own patches, with faux stitching.  I found a cute little candy cane sticker and placed it in the lil bears hand.  The card is A2 size card, although the little guy sticks out a bit.

  The second card I made is a moose one.  used the same cuts, only I made a poinsettia from the Artiste cartridge.

Well short post today, I have my grand son coming shortly, if I am on my laptop...he wants it and he is only 3, need I say more,lol.

Happy Crafting......Cathy
