a piece of paper I use to put my bats on for my

Halloween cards that I spayed with gold tattered angels

looked so good when I was done knew I had to use

the paper for another project.

The Happy Holidays stamp

is from Hero Arts.

A little jute and some silver package ribbon

Silent Night

Christmas Card Challenges

week #44 Tags

The challenge we have this week is: Tags! You can interpret this in any way you like as long as there is a tag somewhere. Please keep in mind that all challenges are optional.

  Any Christmas/Winter/Holiday card will do.

A2 card edges rounded

pattern paper from K&Company

Snowflakes cut from Joys of the Season

the Tag is from Planitin Schoolbook

I just foam tape to put it on the card but made it

less sticky by putting it on a scrap piece of card stock

first then removing it this way the tag is usable for who ever

receives the card and there is a snowflake from the pattern paper so the card

will still look good.

Thinking of you

Did this card for a challenge over at

Use it Tuesday

a blog that challenges you to dust off all the things you have

purchase stuck in a drawer and haven't used

I use Cord'nations card stock for the base a2 card

HAD to get this and it's been sitting in my pile of card stock

for a least 6 months which really isn't long in the scheme of my unused stash

next it it a mat from DCWV Citrus stack

then two patter papers from Basicgrey

next I used a stamp I have I am pretty sure I got at ACMoore when

they were having a 50% off sale it's marked f-2211 Santa Rosa 1999

really had to dust it off 

I inked with black staz-on onto Bristol XL paper

it's an all purpose artist paper

I seem to have trouble stamping but with this paper I get good results

it's very thick and textured on one side

after stamping I colored with markers from Marvy

use a circle die from Spellbinders embossed leaving the die on

I inked the edges with Color Box Dune

put a dark brown Spellbinders scalloped circle behind

flower cut from Plantin Schoolbook

Cricut Cardz Challenge and Blog Candy

A big hello to everyone coming over from 
Cricut Cardz Challenge
Perfect timing for this challenge. My Niece and my Mom are both avid readers. With a birthday and Mother's day coming these will make perfect gift tags and then bookmarks. I made these using Citrus stack from DCWV.  Joyce page 78 endcaps and Haley page 71 from Plantin Schoolbook at 2 inches. After gluing them together I used my YourStory to Laminate punched 3/8inch hole with a Crop-a-dile II. I had some left over yarns that worked perfectly on the tops...
Don't you just love it when a project comes together....

Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder, Tiny Mosaic Texture folder. I cut the pot from black card stock Doodlecharms page 89 at 3" and cut off the handle. The coins I cut from Plantin Schoolbook circle page 72 at 1", 3/4" and 1/2 inch I stamped them with a Studio G stamp I purchase last year at AC Moore. I use Stazon olive green ink. Pot of Gold is also from a Studio G kit I got last year and stamped with the olive green ink. I used Ranger Gold embossing powder on the "Gold" and attached it to the mat with This to That foam tabs. I like these because they are very Thick! The grass is also from Plantin Schoolbook page 69 cut twice once at 1 1/2inches the at 1" I cut the strips down to fit. I made the rainbow with white card stock and with a q-tip applied non-smear Pastels from The Stencil Collection.
