Hi All,

I hope you are all doing better than I am with all of your holiday shopping. I can’t believe that we are only a few days away! WOW! I’ve been cranking away in my craft room creating some cards for friends and family. Today I used some fun Christmas tags as a focal point for these cards.

Check ’em out!

I absolutely love the way these turned out! I think my favorite part is that these cards are gender neutral. They are the type of cards you’re not ashamed to give a coworker/classmate and have to walk away slightly embarrassed that the card might be a little too cutesy. I know you know what i’m talking about! Anyhow, I’m off to tackle my holiday list… I may even sneak a few of these cards into some boxes.

Warm wishes ~ JS

Ice Skate Ornament

By Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories, Room Decor

Hi All,

For today’s project I wanted to do an altered project. Altered projects in the craft world mean you take an item that is otherwise ordinary and…well.. alter it. =)

This project involved some large size paperclips that attached to the bottom of these stockings to create ice skates. I then inked the edges and stamped a vintage tree image. For additional dimension I hand stitched some laces with red floss and embossed a ‘noel’ sentiment to the cuff. I think these would look absolutely darling off a christmas tree or attached to  a little wreath.

Fall Themed Notecards

By Cards, Planner Stationary & Accessories

Hi All,

For today’s project I wanted to create a card that could be used as a name card or place card holder at thanksgiving dinner. I like these because they are small enough to not be entirely ‘in the way’ of everything else that is on a table, but they are definitely bold enough to make an impression. I have 2 different color schemes that I created, and I really can’t choose which one is my favorite. P.S. there’s something about burlap that I love!

Even if these aren’t used during thanksgiving, they make great tags to attach to a gift.

Using SCAL2 To Create a Card

By Cards

Sympathy

Hi all,

For today’s card, I’ve decided to try to recreate a rendition of a card design I saw by Kristina Werner on her blog. I felt this card layout would be perfect for a friend who was missing her family. To create the window and curtains on the card, I used my die cutting machine and created the template on my computer. I created a window using 4 squares and welded together some other shapes to create the curtain and butterfly cuts.

For extra detail, I used a white gel pen around the edges and some ribbon to finish off the card.
