12 Days of Inspiration- Day 4

Welcome to the 12 Days of Inspiration Day 4-

This is a quick and easy card that look like a present!! The sentiment is one of the super cute small sentiment stamps from the Holiday Expressions Idea Book called Merry Everything. I love that those like M sized stamped can be switched out for a different look or message. 

 The sentiment is heat embossed with Princess Gold Embossing Powder and matted with Gold Glitter paper, the White & Gold Ribbon is added to make the sentiment look like a present. The plaid paper is from the Beary Christmas paper pack. 

And as always a little Foam Tape to add some dimension. 

Enjoy! Chris

12 Days of Inspiration- Day 3

Welcome to day 3 of the 12 Days of Inspiration-

This is a project that I create every year, but it is because I love it and it makes a great gift. I always have a few on hand at the holiday time just in case we need a last minute gift. It is a shadow box that I purchased at a local craft story. Then you can search for a cute holiday saying and cut it out of vinyl, and apply it to the front glass surface. I added a piece of the Gold & Silver paper from this years Holiday Expressions Idea Book and filled it will bells. 

I have seen them filled with other holiday themed embellishments like Christmas ornaments etc. I love the fact that you can switch out a few supplies and have a completely different look!!

Enjoy! Chris

12 Days of Inspiration- Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the 12 Days of Inspiration-

This is a super sweet card that is for Christmas with a bit of whimsy. Who wouldn't love to get a card with a Flamingo on the front? 

I stamped the Shells & Stars stamp to create the fun background and then colored it in with the Watercolor Pencils to add just a hint of color to the card.
The sentiment is heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder to play up the Silver Foil paper. The Flamingo scene is stamped with first and second generation stamping. I love the fact that the snow globe has a thin cut and stamp set bundle. There are so many great images you could create inside the globe, don't you think? 

Enjoy! Chris

Silver & Gold Card Workshop

I knew the Silver & Gold products from Close to My Heart were going to be fun to design with the second that I saw them, and I was right! I loved creating the Scrapbooking Workshop so much I knew that I was going to have to play with it again, but this time it turned into a Cardmaking workshop.

They were so much to create. They are so so so much prettier in real life that in the photos!

Lets take a closer look. The workshop creates 30 cards, (2) of 15 designs.
