Square Gift Pocket Card

This was a project I did in August, but never did get it posted.  Because my Mom was struggling to catch her breath - we all decided to chip in and give her $$ to hire a house keeper and give the condo a really good cleaning.  I made this 6" square Gift Pocket card to tuck all the money in ...

How PERFECT is this patterned paper? I was tickled to see this sheet in in the package I had ordered from the Stampin' Up Clearance Rack.

The pocket was popped up along both sides and the bottom with foam tape so we would have room to stuff in the bills.  :-)

I fussy cut the broom out of one of the scraps to add at the top center of the panel where we all signed our names.

I'm happy to say that the gift was a success and my Mom was really surprised and happy with it.

Sewing Room Tag

Hello friends - today's share is a vintage looking tag-card I made for a friend. I used a several different dies for it, and I attached it to a loom knit piece I'd made especially for her.

I used the largest Sassy Label Framelit for the tag-card base, and added the stitching lines to the front one with the coordinating Sassy Label Stitched Framelit - both sets by Karen Burniston.

The dress form and spools were cut a couple of times - from Kraft and from patterned papers, and after trimming all the edges were inked before assembling.

I folded the Kraft card stock and cut it with the Sassy Label die, keeping the fold line just inside the top of the die. The patterned paper was cut with the same Sassy Label die and attached to the front. I then scored the back panel about 1/2" below the fold line.

This label die is my favourite one in the set - it's so versatile!

I still have quite a few Christmas cards to share, but I think I'm ready to take a few days off of Christmas.  I'll post them in the coming weeks.

Sassy Framelits - Karen Burniston (Sizzix)

Ornament Pop 'n Cut Cards

Merry Christmas!!

I scheduled this post because I knew I wouldn't likely be on the computer today.  :-)  I'm looking forward to spending time with family, watching Olivia and Ethan enjoy their new Christmas goodies, and we will all visit my Dad in the hospital.

I have used the Tim Holtz ornament die frequently on my Christmas cards, but I've never stacked the two ornaments together before as I did on the card on the right.  I really liked how it turned out and I made a few more that I will share another day. Both ornaments were cut out of red sparkly paper, the smaller one was layered over the long ornament and attached with foam tape, then I outlined the edges with Stickles. Really - can you have too much sparkle on a Christmas card? I certainly don't think so.  :-)

On this first card, I was able to 'hang' 3 of the smaller ornaments in the sticker package on a strip of sparkly patterned paper.

Everything about these cards sparkle ... there is glitter embedded in some of the papers, or they have embossed and shiny areas. It's always hard to capture that on camera though. 

Look how cool the ornaments look when stacked with the short one over the long one - love it!  Both cards are Pop 'n Cut cards, using Karen Burniston's A2 Pop 'n Cut die with the Funky Label insert.

The stickers are by K&Co ... I found them on clearance after the holidays last year and I'm so glad I did because they animate perfectly on the Pop 'n Cut inserts!

I hope you enjoy your day, no matter how you celebrate.

Two More Deer Christmas Cards

Good morning friends.  I have two more older cards to share today, made using the wonderful Tim Holtz deer die with bits & pieces from my stash ...

This 2nd deer was cut from heavy white glitter paper. I white embossed the words on the kraft/white panel and tied red Bakers twine around the deer's neck.

Simple Poinsettia Pop 'n Cut Card

Good morning friends!

Today's share is a ridiculously simple Pop 'n Cut card, that turned out fabulous. When you use beautiful papers and pre-made embellishments, a card like this comes together quickly but is very impressive for the recipient.

I used Karen Burniston's Pop 'n Cut dies for the card itself, cutting it from paper with a beautiful pearlized shimmer to it.

I cut 1/2" off the top and bottom edge of the inside panel, which was cut using the Funky Label insert. Once the inside panel was attached to the card base, I aded a strip of sparkly paper from the same paper stack to the top and bottom edges.

The Merry Christmas was actually printed on the paper, so I just stamped the words on the bottom panel. The lovely poinsettia sticker was attached to the pop-out panel and the card was done.

Supplies used:
Pop 'n Cut A2 card base with the Funky Label insert - Karen Burniston (Sizzix)
Patterned paper and 3-d sticker - K&Co
Word stamp - Papertrey Ink

Four Chipboard Christmas Tags

Good morning friends.  I have a quick post today ...  Christmas tags made using chipboard stickers:

The chipboard sticker embellishments came from the Dollar Store, and I layered them with various die cuts, card stocks, ribbon bits and other goodies from my stash to create these four tags.
