A couple of Christmas Cards

Today I have a couple of quick Christmas cards made using Debbi Moore products.  

Card #1 (above): This first one has a wonderful texture because the background is some green suede paper from HOTP.  The tag at the top is from Hunkydory & the rest is stuff I printed from Debbi Moore.

Inside:

Here we have more of the green suede & Debbi Moore printouts.

Card #2:

For this card, I combined Debbi Moore printouts with papers & cutouts from an old HOTP Christmas set.  On the front of the card, the sentiment is on foam tape, as is the 2nd layer of the little critters that are with the snowman.  I actually cut the border on the paper so that I could separate the two strips of border squares & put one at the top & one at the bottom.

Fancy a Cuppa?

Today I needed an ultra-quick card to send to a friend.  I turned to an old HOTP kit for making shaped cards, and found this one.  It went together quite quickly with minimal fuss.  The only thing I changed was the addition of some more steam lines on the front, and the little cup embellishment on the inside.

Welcome

Today's card was made using stamps from "Welcome Home" stamp set from HOTP.  The red paper is also an old one of theirs.   I added a couple of different ribbons from my stash, and some red Jewel Dazzles in the upper left corner.

Inside:

I used more of the paper & stamps from the same set to create a scene, then added a message from a stamp set called "Special Gifts Labels Twenty-Nine" by JustRite.

Gilded Leaves

Today I answered a challenge on the PWMB - it called for foiling of some kind.  I chose to use gilding flakes.  I covered a piece of card stock with double sided adhesive, then added the flakes & burnished them.  Then I die cut the leaves using a variety of Card Making Magic dies in my collection (A2 Card & Box, A5 Box, 5X7 Card & Box, Ultimate Number & Overlay). Apparently the pressure of my Gemini machine caused some stickiness on these die cut leaves, so I brushed them them lightly with baby powder to ensure the stickiness wouldn't cause any issues.  

Card #1 (above): The letters were from a Hunkydory kit & I glued them to pieces of ribbon.  The background was also Hunkydory "Adorable Scoreable" and the gold is a gold linen card stock from my stash.

Card #2:

This second card uses many of the same materials.  I added the focal sentiment is a Hunkydory piece from a different set.  As you can see, I added some ribbon & lace from my stash.
