Mini Christmas Cards

Thought I'd share some cards I made last week.  I made some mini CAS cards for my co-workers to go with their little treat boxes. Here is a selection.


These were super simple and fast!  The horse-drawn carriage image is die cut from silver shimmer paper.

PTI Make It Monday #145 - A La Carte!

For this week's MIM you could choose from all the MIM tutorials from the year. I decided to go with MIM #100 (originally found here). I have a few Christmas cards that are too bulky to fit in a regular A2 size envelope and I have these glassine bags to use in those situations. I love using the glassine bags to finish off a card that will be hand delivered. (BTW - this is the link for the bags on PTI's site - but they are out of stock).

Here are the packaged cards:




Ingredients:
Bag #1: PTI In the Meadow, Signature Greetings-Christmas; MFT Snowflake Doily; Doodlebug Washi Tape; misc pattern paper from stash
Bag #2: PTI Shape Up Snowman, Wonderful Words: Holiday; MFT Jumbo Fishtail Banner Stax; Basic Grey pattern papers
Bag #3: PTI Wine Bottle Tag, In the Meadow; Doodlebug pattern papers

Another "Merry" Christmas card

One last Christmas card for the year! I am submitting this one in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Bling it On! I blinged up my ornaments with glitter, the toppers are adhesive metallic paper and the "Merry" frame is cut out of PTI's shimmer card stock.

I love to mix and mingle dies and stamps from different companies and this one features goodies from My Favorite Things, Papertrey Ink and Paper Smooches.


Here's a side view.


And the inside.


Ingredients: MFT Merry Photo Frame Die-namics, Ornaments; Paper Smooches poinsettia dies; PTI Happiest of Holidays; Basic Grey pattern papers; Doodlebug Santa brad, pattern papers

Day 5 Tag for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas w/ a Feminine Twist

We are already on Day 5 of Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist.



For Day 5, the adorable Kelly Alvarez of Lawn Fawn Stamps is showing us how to tag an image that is masculine and give it a feminine edge!  This was harder than I thought it was going to be! I finally decided after some trial and error to use a snowman image from Technique Tuesday called Good to Snow (LOVE this stamp set!).  I am not a pinky-pink girl so I threw some purple in! My niece will love this tag!  The hardest part was making those darn eyelashes!!!




Ingredients: Technique Tuesday Good to Snow; PTI Tag Sale Die #5, Winter Snow Globe (sentiment), Raspberry Fizz ribbon
