Clean and Simple Christmas Card

Do you send out a lot of Christmas cards?  I do and I am always looking for clean and simple Christmas card layouts to make.  This one is really easy and pretty fast to make.  I am using red and cream color cardstock.  I ran my cream base through the cuttle bug using the swirls embossing folder by Hero Arts.  The Wreath die is from Elizabeth Craft.  I added some berries to the wreath using glossy accents and ultra fine red glitter also by Elizabeth Craft. Added some red ribbon and Viola' done. All supplies can be found at A Scrap-N-Place.

A Poinsettia Christmas

This week I have a little bit different card...and I'll have a bonus later in the week!


For this card I used the Spellbinders poinsettia die.  It does make for a lovely flower, don't you think?  I shaped the petals by placing them on my soft stamping mat and using my stylus to make the petals cupped.  Kittie has a wonderful tutorial on her blog.  Please check it out.

Supplies:
All are available at A Scrap N Place...
Cardstock: Vanilla, Red, Green
Patterned Paper: Authentique Diverse
Accessories: Various ribbons and trims from May Arts, Rhinestones, dimensionals.

Hope you have a wonderful week... and be sure to watch for my gift box!

Winter Mittens


So sorry for the late post but I was enjoying my crafting time at the retreat all weekend and totally forgot to take my post out of the draft state. If you are local you should really consider attending the retreat that Terri hosts twice a year. She has fabulous giveaways and I made some new friends and got  lots of work done!
Now for my card. I used a Memory box die and some of those beautiful Authentique papers. Added ribbon to hod them together to finish it off.

Christmas Gift Bag

Hi There! I have another fun gift packaging idea to share with you today. I die cut scallops using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps scallop die and used it to frame the Santa image. I stacked various sizes of the red flower and placed a snowflake in the center. I then adhered everything onto a white glassine bag.


This is the side view to show the bag.


All supplies can be purchased at A Scrap 'N Place
Papers: Authentique Joyous Collection
Accessories: Organza ribbon, Kaiser Scrapbook (flowers), black button
Tools: Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (scallop die)

A Little Gift Bag

Have you ever needed to get a gift ready in a hurry and didn't have a fancy bag?  Well you could make a little gift bag out of cardstock or you can buy plain bags at your local craft store, you can even decorate a plain brown lunch bag, it does not take much to turn nothing into something.  I am using paper from Making Memories and the Wreath die from Elizabeth Crafts. The red bow on the wreath is made using a velvety sticker sheet from Starform.  I added berries to the wreath with glossy accents and ultra fine glitter by Elizabeth Craft.  All supplies can be found at  A Scrap-N-Place.

Winter Wonderland

Today's card for Scrap n Place is another fun Christmas card.. and I just love snowmen.. the Die set  is just to cute and can be used so many different ways.
Supplies
sizzix stamp and Die cut set
copic markers
pearl paint ranger
stickles ranger
memento black ink
Distress ink Iced Spruce.
glitter pen clear
Paper
Red, white Green
Designer paper
dies
Spellbinders 2013 Snowflake pendant
Memory box frosty border 98171
Lea'bilities holly frame
dries clear glue
red bling
green ribbon

The card was made by just cutting the dies and adding the glitter pen to the snowman and flakes to add a little bling.. then just layered the way I wanted it to go.. the  holly frame to do the two different colors you just need to cut twice.. easy ... the longest part was letting your liquids dry..
this set is great for production stamping because it does not take long to color.. which speeds up the process.
thanks for stopping by Debbie
