Another Stationery Gift

This is a note-card set I created for my niece. Here you see it open. And the next picture shows it closed up.

It is decorated with an embossed band created with an Edgeability Spellbinder's die.  The container is based on a Splitcoaststampers tutorial shown here.

This container is filled with notecards like the above.  It is a freebie digi-stamp, but I can't remember where I found it.  It was colored with pastel chalks.  To keep the colors clean I used an extra printout of the digi-stamp and cut a stencil from it.

Purchased Focals for Christmas Cards

Today's cards use punch-out purchased focals with additional supplies.  This first one uses dimensional paint that serves as snow.  This next one uses chalk to add dimension - though it's not easily seen in the photo:

Dazzles make Nice and Quick Cards

This card was made for a friend who lives in Hawaii.  The "Tropical Christmas" Dazzles formed the base for a very appropriate card for her.  I paper-pieced  portions of the sticker with green mylar, red mylar, and a snake-skin paper that worked great for the tree trunk.  Putting it all on a scrap of sand-colored paper gave the right touch for a Tropical Christmas. 

Here are a couple more cards made with Dazzles.  These ones use printed tissue paper glued to the card backgrounds. 

For these last two cards, I used "Stitched Dazzles" which were not stitched.  I decorated them with Stickles and a Dazzle Angel.

Stamp Maker Sentiments

 Today, for a change, I'm showing the INSIDE of a couple of Christmas cards instead of the OUTSIDES!  They show stamped sentiments made with my Stampmaker.  This first one is cut and embossed with one of my Nestabilities from Spellbinders.

This is one of the nice things about being able to make my own stamps -- being able to have sentiments I want for the INSIDE of my cards.  Here is another one:
