3 Trees

This card was so simple and could be used for any card.  I started with a green card and a white front.  I punched a scallop in the white paper.  Then I attached it to the green card.  Then I stamped the Merry Christmas and attached it to the card.  Next I punched out 3 different pennants to make them into trees.  I topped it off with stumps and boxes at the bottom.

Ok so I know you are thinking why is she making Christmas cards in November.  Well let me tell you!  I am trying to be ahead in my card making and I realize if I have a class a week before the holiday then the cards don’t get used and sent.  So I am starting early!!!  I mean who can’t use a Christmas card?  We will be making 8 different Christmas cards using so many different Christmas stamps!  This is your time to come and relax and begin to prepare for the holiday season!

I can not remember exactly where I saw this card (since I saw so many different versions and colors). I just loved how simple and clean it looks. The embossed dots added perfectly to it as well :). Happy Tuesday!!!!

Framelit Fun

Wow was this card easy!!! I saw this card on to cool stampin.  All I did was emboss the front piece of brown.  Then I lined up the framelits where I wanted them.  Before I adhered the card I put scraps of color behind the shapes for fun.  The red was tied on after the card front was complete.  Then I attached the whole front and we are done!!!

Thanksgiving M&M's

I have been subbing in a 4th grade class for the week and I wanted to do something fun for the last day before vacation for them.  I saw an idea on Pinterest and really wanted to try it.  Well lets just say it was a bust!  They tell you to wet the bottom of an ice cream cone to bend it up.  In the end I cased the idea without the bend, and added a little tag.  I guess that made up for the no bend in my cornucopia. The funny part is that when I reread the website i realized it should have been a waffle cone ;) OOPS!!!   HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!!!

Rudolph

Look at these cuties!  This is one of my Stocking Suffers from my class!  These are actually for my cousins kids preschool class.  I needed to start making them early so they were done.  For the first time EVER I am glad that Christmas stuff is out before Thanksgiving!  I got the owl punch idea from Pinterest.  You start with the owl and cut off his cute little feet.  The I added the other elements to make them more fun!  Hope you like them!  Starting Saturday it is all about Christmas Craftin' on my blog!!!

Christmas Dinner

This year my aunt decided to send out Christmas cards containing the information for Christmas dinner.  This was the card she wanted for the occasion.  I love the fact that it looks like her hands are behind her back!  Have a great day!

Card Frame

Thanks to my friend Margaret I now have the card frame holder I wanted!  I have had two of these frames since I was in college with a poster in it.  I loved it's distressed look already so I asked my friend if she would have her husband help us make this frame so I could use it for my open house.  Well with little if any help from her husband she took out the glass and stretched chicken wire across the back and stapled it on.  She created both of them for me.  What is even better is when we found a cheep frame at Ross she was willing to make me a 3rd card frame!!!  What a great craftin' friend!!! 

Thanksgiving is on its way!!!
