Girly Fun Cards

 

DEC21VSNL - Newspaper

I used a piece of dictionary paper for my "newspaper" piece. Stamped the layered butterfly from Altenew and added the birthday sentiment finishing the card off with some gems.

Girly Birthday Wishes
DEC21VSNG - The Golden Girls--sassy lady

USEIT2021 - Sassy Lady Image

I needed to use up this fun sassy lady from my stack of images and she is perfect for the Sassy Lady challenge. She came already colored so all I had to do was cut the layers and I added a few fun punched hearts. The inside sentiment says, "Dance like no one is watching".


DEC21VSNO - Ghosts - use vellum or acetate on your card

I am starting to work on my family's card orders for next year and while going through my drawers of paper scraps I came across this beautiful paper. I wanted to let it do most of the work so adding some velum still lets the paper show.

Cut the layers, stamped the sentiment and added some sheer ribbon that has some of the pink to pick up the paper.

Cute Foxy Birthday Card

 

DEC21VSNJ - twine OR washi tape

USEIT2021 - Fox

I am still trying to use up a tote of items in my craft room that have been given to me. This cute fox was in that tote and I thought he would make a fun birthday card.

I found this purple scrap in my scrap drawer and it was just large enough to put the fox on. I cut the layers, added some bakers twine and stamped the sentiment finishing off with some Nuvo Drops.

Chalk One Up

 

DEC21VSNE - Wide World of Sports-- masculine card with sports theme

My son is enjoying playing pool at college and actually did a really cool move that my brother taught him (I wish I knew enough about pool to know the move). Anyway, he was so excited he pulled it off that he actually called my brother to thank him for showing him the move. 

My MIL asked me for a few cards for next year and I thought this was perfect for a birthday card for my son from her using my all-time favorite stamp from DRS Designs.

I stamped the image and sentiment, colored with copics and cut the layers.

Welcome Baby

 

DEC21VSND - Family Ties-- create a card that represents family +a ribbon/cord that has been tied

USEIT2021 - Lamb Button

When I think of Family I think of a new baby. This challenge is perfect for a new baby card. I die cut the onsie, cut the layers, added the ribbon and finished with this cute lamb button from my tote of items needing used up.

Welcome Baby

A Few Christmas Cards

 

DEC21VSNC - Baretta— birds

F4A617 - Snow

CCC21DEC - Anything Goes

This sweet image came with the hat and I thought he really needed colored and used for a Christmas card this year. Once colored I found I had a few rub ons in my tote that needed used so I added a rub on and a few punched snowflakes.

Just Add Snow

DEC21VSNB - Black & white + vintage or retro

WT875 - Black and White

F4A617 - Snow

CCC21DEC - Anything Goes

These wonderful die cuts were sent from my sweet friend Ann and they were perfect for a quick card. (Thank you Ann!)

Once everything was glued down I added the sentiment and had 2 very fast cards.

USEIT2021 - Penguin image from my stack of images needing colored and used up

CCC21DEC - Anything Goes

This cute image was in my stack of images that was already stamped off and needed colored. Once colored I did an out of the box cutting and added the sentiment.

Happy Hollydays

Hello

 

MIX464 - Very Peri

USEIT2021 - Floral image and butterflies

I am trying to work on clearing out images that are already stamped. That was my added goal this year and I did not do as good as I had hoped so I am giving it a good push here at the end of the year. Today's mix seemed perfect for this image.

I colored the image with pencils then cut the layers, added the ribbon and found a few small butterflies in my tote of items to use up.

Hello

Making Spirits Bright


 F4A617 - Snow


CCC21DEC - Anything Goes

I am working on a few extra cards to build my stash for next year and also trying to use some of the stacks of designer paper in my stash.

Cut down this great snow paper added a fun cut on the edge. Punched and die cut some additional snowflakes and added a few gems.

Finished with the sentiment in red to match the paper.
