"Joy" Christmas Card

Hello!  It's Cindy from The Creative Pointe back with you again.

Living "Up In Northern Michigan" we have lots of snow. In fact, where I live is considered the "snow belt" of the state! I do love how the snow glitters and glistens... it makes Christmas time just sparkle. That's the feeling I wanted to invoke when I created this card, one of a set of three with a snowflake theme:

I tried out a few of the embossing techniques I learned in the recent "Inspiration Showcase Card Class" taught by Jennifer McGuire. 

Supplies: 

Cardstock, Glossy Paper, Embossing Folders, Distress Inks, Ribbon, Die Cut Snowflake,  Pearl Acrylic Paint, Liquid Pearls, Stamp Sets, Punch, Adhesives

I hope you'll check out my BLOG for all the details on this card.

Keep checking my blog as I will be showing how I made the other cards in this snowflake card collection over the next few days.

Christmas Card a Day

Today's card is my unconventional Christmas colors. 

Hi, I am Shirley Ross and this is my first Christmas card offering for October Christmas Card a Day blog. 

I love the idea of a full month of Christmas inspiration.

My Christmas card creation uses cool blues and cocoa brown tones to create a down-home country feeling. Do these little Christmas stockings bring thoughts of a warm fire, roasting marshmallows and singing Christmas carols?

I certainly hope so!

You can find out all the details of this card on my blog at Mom 'n Me Scrap.

Bats and Witches?

Welcome! I hope you have been enjoying this week's theme.  My name is Janet White and my card for you today is what I call clean and simple (CAS). I should call it witches with attitude! Making it was tons of fun!  If you would like to have the supply list and directions you can see them on my blog at Stamping At The White House.

Now I had to give you a sample using this week's theme right? How about a 3 dimensional? Isn't this adorable? He could be filled with so many sweet treats for Halloween. Candy Corn maybe? What a cute teachers gift.

Trick or Treat

Hello everyone,

The theme this week is Cats and Bats, and since everybody else has been posting about bats, I decided to make a card with a lovely, scary cat.

I have been taking an online class given by Jennifer McGuire named Inspiration Showcase so I decided to use one of the techniques she has been focusing on, which is resist stamping.

If you look in the upper left corner of the card, you can see the word Boo. I did this by using Versamark ink to stamp on to my card base. I then used my Inkssentials foam applicators and Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Shabby Shutters and Dusty Concord) to blend in from the top left and bottom right corners of the card.

I cut the cat shape with my Silhouette after purchasing the shape in the Silhouette store.

I used a Basic Grey rub on to add the words "trick or treat" to the card.

The card base is cut from one of the papers from the Authentique Glowing collection. 
I hope you enjoy this card. Please post your own card in our Challenges section and come back tomorrow for more great ideas!!!

A Note to Say Hello!

Some days it's good to have a card or two to keep in your stash!  This is one of those that I put together just to have on hand for that day when you need a quick card to brighten someone's day!

Yes, I made her a little "out there" with the hair style.  I just felt like she had some trendy pizzazz going for her, and wanted to add that effect in with her hair color!  I colored this gal up when I was making a video on Brunette hair.  Here is that video...so if you want to learn copics a little more, you may find it helpful!
