Gloria! Wreath

Hey y'all!  Here's one I made for the SCS Fan Club Central Theme-Hang It All and for Word Art Wednesday58-God Will Take Care of You.  I made a wreath by cutting a circle with two Spellbinders Circle dies and gluing lots of Martha's little punched twigs to the circle base!  I framed the wreath using Spellbinders Marvelous Squares.  I sprayed the wreath lightly with Brick glimmer Mist and also sprayed the seam binding to give it a little shimmer.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  I stamped the angels from the ODBD set called Away in a Manger and cut them out.  Then I cut out the sentiment with a Spellbinder banner die.  I added a few pearls to the wreath to finish the card! 

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your day!

Snowflake Tag

Hi there!!!  Just a quick little tag to share with you using the new ODBD Sparkling Snowflakes set along with the Snowflake Sentiments set!   I covered a piece of chipboard from some packaging materials with some pretty musical designer paper.  I painted the edges with white acrylic paint and then also sponged them with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I stamped the snowflakes and the sentiment on the same paper and cut them out using the ODBD/Spellbinders Snowflakes Dies and a Spellbinders Oval.  The sentiment is framed with the ODBD/Spellbinders Elegant Oval Die.  I added lace and pearls and buttons.  I made a hanger with seam binding and added a pretty bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!  Then I added stickles here and there for a little sparkle! 

I am submitting this to the ODBDSLC134 challenge to create using the word NOEL.  N-notes, O-oval, E-elegant oval, L-lace.  Also, entering this to the SCS Fan Club Monthly Theme-Hang It All!  Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Enjoy your week and I'll see you again soon!

Snowy Christmas Blessings

Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a great week!  Happy Friday!

I made this card with two of the new sets that ODBD just released!

Sparkling Snowflakes and Snowflake Sentiments

 

This is another CAS card which make them so much easier to mail!  The base and the tag are Kraft card stock.  The tag is a Spellbinders Holiday Tag die cut. 

 

I stamped a background of snowflakes with Ruby Red ink.  I stamped off the ink several times to get the lighter shade.  Then I ran the background through my Cuttlebug with a Snowflake embossing folder.  I used twine to wrap it up like a present and added a little rhinestone to the tag! 

I am linking this with Word Art Wednesday and SCS Ways to Use It challenge and CCC12!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon!

Now, on to my first card:

 I used the Snowflake Sentiments set for this card!!! 

The chipboard snowflakes are by Tattered Angels and they are lightly sponged with Antique Linen distress ink.  The seam binding bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  I cut the sentiment out with a Spellbinders Oval and used the ODBD/Spellbinders Elegant Ovals for the frame!

And here is my next card:

I don't believe it myself but this is actually kind of masculine!  Not the easiest type of card for me to create!!!  LOL!!!  I just love this manger scene set called Away in a Manger!

The manger image is stamped with Vintage photo ink and cut out with a Spellbinders rectangle.  Then I popped it up on a layer made with Spellbinders Labels 23.  I stamped the angel and cut it out with another Spellbinders Oval to attach to the main image.  I added the jute twine and a clear rhinestone to complete the card!

Two or Three More...

Hi everyone!  Here are more Christmas cards that I have made recently but haven't posted!  I just got the Spellbinders Poinsettia and had to make a card with it!!!  Love this die along with the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares!!!  The bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.

This LaBlanche Santa stamp can be purchased through Our Daily Bread designs.  Just call them at  877-451-4909 and ask for the LaBlanche Santa being sold through their sister company, North Coast Creations.  He is peeking out from the ODBD/Spellbinders Windows Die!  I colored the pearls with a copic marker to match the paper!  The sentiment is from the ODBD set called Holiday Ornaments.

 

And last, but not least, this card is made with a November release stamp called Chickadee Ornament.

   I colored the image with copics and added a little stickles.

Don't forget to join us for the ODBD new release blog hop on Saturday the 1st!!!  Look forward to seeing you there!  And thanks so much for stopping by today!!!

Are You Ready For Some Turkey?

Two more days until Thanksgiving!  I love Thanksgiving, don't you?  I am blessed with a wonderful family and lots of friends and I am eternally thankful!  I hope you and yours have a blessed day too!  

I've got a couple of cards to share today.  

This first one is made with the gorgeous ODBD set called Chickadee Ornament.

The image is colored with copics and cut out with a Spellbinders Circle and framed with a Spellbinders Lacey Circle.  The sentiment is cut out with a Spellbinders Ornament set.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and the pearls are colored with a copic marker to match! 

And this card is made with the Turtle Dove Ornament set!

Again I colored the image with copics, cut it out and framed it with Spellbinders dies.  And topped it off with a pretty seam binding bow made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I Just Had To...

Yep.  I just kinda had to make some more of those little trees!!!

So this is for the TLC today to make Folded Christmas Trees.  I posted a card earlier today too!  This time I made a little 3x3 gift card to go with the card.  I kept this monochromatic and CAS and I added pearls to the trees for a more elegant look.  The sentiment is from the ODBD Turtle Dove Ornament set and was added with the help of my Stamp-a-ma-jig. 

Thanks again for coming by!  See you again soon! 

Happy Monday!

Hello there!!!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  It was quiet here.  I wanted to say Happy Marine Corp birthday (Saturday) to all the Marines out there!  My hubby is former Marine and we celebrate this occasion every year!  Also, I want to thank all the Veterans, former and current, for their service to our country!  Without you, where would we be?  So from the bottom of my heart, THANKS!

Today, I have two cards to share with you.  This first one is for the ODBDSLC129 challenge, Winter White.  I used the new ODBD set called Turtle Dove Ornament.  I love this set!  I colored the image with copics and cut it out with a Spellbinders Circle.  I framed it using Spellbinders Exquisite Circles and added lots of rhinestones!  I also added touches of White Paint pen dots and Stickles!

And this one is for the TLC403 on Splitcoast using the Folded Christmas Tree technique.  I used some SU! designer paper (retired I believe) to make the trees.  Here is a link to the tutorial from Beate.  The sentiment is from the Turtle Dove Ornament set too.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Spellbinders Exquisite Circles and added a bow made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  Stickles are on the trees along with some buttons from my stash.

That's it for today!  Hope you enjoy your Monday and I will see you again soon! 

 So glad you stopped by!

CCC12-Christmas Card Challenge 2012

WAW53-Scripture or Encouraging Word

WT399-No Fall Colors

I just love this new ODBD set called The Babe!

  

 Such a precious image!  I purposely kept this card CAS in order to focus on the baby Jesus.  I colored the image with copics and cut out a frame with Spellbinders Squares and Marvelous Squares.  I added a tiny double bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker as my only embellishment!

 Thank you for coming by today!  God Bless You!

Christmas Rose

 

Hi there!  I've got another couple of Christmas cards to share!  This one is for the color challenge today on SCS, Whispering Very Cherry Olives with a dessert of silver or pearls.  I used a beautiful stamp set called Christmas Rose from Our Daily Bread designs!  I colored with copic markers in shades near the colors of the challenge.  I used a Square Nestie to cut it out and framed it with some Spellbinders Marvelous Squares.  The tag is also Spellbinders.  I added pearls, stickles and a pretty seam binding bow made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.

And another...

Again I used copics, Spellbinders Dies, pearls and another sweet little bow made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker! 

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon!!!

James 1:17

Hi there!  Hope you all are having a good week!  I have another Christmas card to share today!  

I am playing in four different challenges:

SSCC162-Peace and Calm

WAW50-James 1:17

ODBDSLC127-L-Layers, E-Embossing, A-Adhesive Pearls, F-Faux Ornament Hanger

CCC12-SCS Christmas Card Challenge

I used the following Our Daily Bread designs sets:

 I embossed the Spellbinders Marvelous Square and used sticky notes to mask off the embossing before stamping the hymn with Memento Gray ink.  Then I added the border at the bottom along with the lace border.  I stamped the image and cut it out with the Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornament die.  I cut the top off and added a Marvelous Square Corner as my ornament hanger.  Then I made a bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and attached it.  I added a pearl to the bow and sprayed the card with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy this beautiful day!
