More Christmas Cards

I guess I'm in an Ornament themed mode this year. These cards received rave reviews from the recipients! Super easy and super fast. I used my Fiskars paper trimmer to make the border and a circle cutter to make the ornament. Make a bow, add some ribbon and a piece of colored card stock (to the red version) and viola (oops voila!) - done and done. Fast and easy to replicate for making multiple cards.

Christmas 2013 Ornament Card

I am in LOVE with this card!  I drew the silver "string" line with a VersaMark pen, then embossed it with silver embossing powder. I stamped the ornaments with VersaMark ink and embossed with the same embossing powder. I used a foam ink applicator to apply pink and green ink to the ornaments. I made the silver "hooks" from silver jewelry wire and adhered them with glue dots and stamped the small snowflakes in green ink. I so wanted to keep this card and not give it away!

Christmas Card 2013

I stole the idea from Flickr, but made my own changes to the design. Love it!

Friend's Birthday at Work

I have seen these time and time again online and always wanted to make one. So, for a gag gift for a friend at work, I made one for her birthday. She LOVES chocolate. It's a Hershey Bar wrapped in foil and then brown paper and finally a homemade label adhered to the top. I had a lot of fun making this!

 

And her card...

 

 

Who eats green cake??? These were the colors I had, so that's what I used!

 

Beaded Sandal

This was my first completed beaded foot sandal. It took 4 attempts to get it right. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to size these things!

New Jewelry

These simple bangle bracelets are elegant and so easy to make!

They take only minutes once I've formulated the design.
