Christmas Cards

Sorry for not keeping up on my posting. My camera and computer haven't been working.

How to make a cardinal

To make the cardinal, you need several pieces: by Renee Van Stralen

Punch these pieces out: one Cherry Cobbler full bird, 2 heads (one black and one yellow), 3 Cherry Cobbler wings, two Artichoke leaf stems.	Trim the Basic Black head to remove the beak. Trim the Cherry Cobbler bird to remove the beak and a portion of the bird.	Glue the black over the yellow (Saffron).
Glue the Cherry Cobbler bird over the black.	Glue one wing behind the top of the head.	Glue one wing on the body.
Glue the last wing behind the bird's body.	This is what mine looks underneath :)	Trim a portion of the leaf stems off.
Glue the stems under the bird.

Stampin' Up! Promotion

Thanksgiving table place cards

Sorry, I have been gone for awhile. I finally finished my college class. Now I can get back to my card making. Yeah! This is an idea from stampin up for Thanksgiving place cards. I really like this and will be making this for my table as well.

Love Letter

For this card I used the Stampin Up Designer Paper Series Love Letter. I also used the new lace ribbon from Stampin Up. The stamp set was Notably Ornate. The ink is black and the cardstock is crumb cake and ivory.

Day of Gratitude

For this card I used my new Day of Gratitude set. I really like this one for fall. I do not have the new fall DSP though and I would have rather used that for this card. We will be making Fall cards at my Creative Card Class September 23rd at 9:00 am at my home. If you would like to attend please call me at 632-7844.

Watercolor Trio

For this card I used the new DSP Love letter! I really love this new paper. I also used the watercolor trio stampin up stamp set. The ribbon is the new basic black taffeta ribbon. Very cute :) The cardstock is whisper white, black, and crumb cake.

Pink Harley!

For my daughters 24th birthday card I used the stampin up motorcycle stamp. (As you can tell my daughter is on the tom boy side!) I also used some retired raspberry tart DSP. I colored the motorcycle in with the aqua painters. That is my favorite because it looks hand painted then. I used glitter on top of the pink. The cardstock is whisper white, pirouette pink, romance rose and crumb cake. I had some pinkish purple seam binding to make the bow.

Little Girl Birthday!

I love these sweet little faces on the pure innocence stamps. For this card I did not use stampin up. I needed to make two cute little birthday cards for my nieces two cute little twin daughters. I used october afternoon dsp paper. I did however use crumbcake and whisper white cardstock from stampin up.
