"Winter Scene"

Hello, here is todays card...I wanted, for the first time, to make a card with a bit of a distressed look....which is something that does not come naturally to me. As this will probably be my last x-mas card, I also wanted to incorporate some new elements, and not think too much about it all...
So I tore up some papers, distressed my edges, crinkled up the snow section, and created a background representing snow, hills and sky...I made some trees, one out of wool, the two others out of paper, one I crinkled and added white MS glitter, the other i made layers and used my scalloped border punch; for both I inked the edges and sides and added bling ( much more sparkly in person. )I added one of my favorite ribbon to seperate snow and hills, made some stick pins, and added another ribbon...
I kind of like it....I dont have any fancy machines, so I make a lot of the elements myself.
I had a few frustrating days; it is hard to make cards while sitting up in bed, but with my head rested all the time, and very little working space...
So, I am going to change the energy around, and go on to making boxes, or cards that are not x-mas related....I am grateful everyday for the ability to create....
I dont know where I would be if I was not able....Hugs....

"Glittering stars"

Hello all, I really had fun making this card and am happy with the outcome.
I glittered 9 stars with my wonderful Martha Stewart glitter, and layered them by 3.
I made a tag by adding fiber and silver embossed the edges, applied a blank piece of blue paper in the back. I made this really quick easy flower which on learnt on youtube; I dont remember from which channel. Added a pocket for the tag, glued down a K and Co. border...and voila, another card made !!!

"Ornaments"

Hi there, well, we had a snowy Halloween....Here is todays card....silver embossed the ornaments, then applied my Martha Stewart glitter, ruffled up my ribbans, picked out 3 beautiful buttons, used a K and Co. border, and partially embossed it with silver ( I wanted the gold of the border to peep through here and there ) and Mod podged everything down since it is going by post and the buttons are quite heavy...Rounded off the bottom corners...and Voila...I like it...

"Le bas de Noël"

I am having so much fun making all the x-mas cards.....Ruffled up a silk ribban; it was the first time I did this and it took me forever because the ribban is large and silky, and I was probably not using the best technique ! Added a string of flowers; one of my girlfriends gave me this from her stash of craft, so I dont know its origins...glued down some beads at the bottom...Border cutting on various papers DCWC paper. Sock, bling, and in the inside I did some silver embossing on the frame and used a sticker that has pears on it, same as the sock...Hope you enjoy it !!!Bye for now...

"Bashful Blue"

Hi there, this is todays card... I am really happy with the outcome of it...
I cut up some silver and gold pieces from a bottle capper, as well as some K and Co. borders for the stars/embellishments, added some bling...I glittered a "I am Roses" flower, and added somes leaves, also from them. Used some DCWV ( one of my favorite paper co.)paper for the slope ( or envelope), silver embossed it, added another K and company embellishsment. I pleated up some beautiful silver ribbon, and cut up some glittered paper for the side. For the inside, I used a Prima mask ( these are really fun and inexpensive, $5 for 5) and silver embossed it....Hope you enjoy it....it has a lot going on, but I think the proportions are good...the only thing I would change is the bling in the top middle of the card....it took for ever to decide what to put there...

"La Croix"

Hello all, this was intentionned as a x-mas card, but my husband and girlfriend said it was beautiful, but was too sober for x-mas...I dont know, I still like it..
I used the K and Co. ( I love this line )borders and added a mix of modpodge and green glitter, added an olive green sheer ribban to it, and bordered that with a slimmer, darker ribbon. I used a Prima chipboard ( i sooo. love these), and added a
k and co. flower in the center. It has a very religious feel to it, which is fine by me....

"Bindis"

Hello there, my latest card. Used different screens from Prima to apply my Martha Stewart glitter ( boy, her colors are incredible, and do they ever sparkle !!!). Cut out a border using my EK success border punch, glued down some Bindis ( indian jewel women put on their forehead),given to my by a girlfriend, glittered some "I am roses" flowers, made somei ivy leaves and silver embossed them, added red tuile, a few silver bullets, and Voila.I love all the individual elements, but there is too much sparkle...oh well, create and learn...
Hugs,,,
