More Christmas Cards

My friend Ann sent me some die cuts.

I have had them for a while and I was bound

and determined to use them up this morning,

making Christmas cards.

I thought they came out really cute.

I got 18 done in total.

To this day I have 40 Christmas cards done!

Graduation cards

The girls at the beauty shop want tons of graduations cards.

Here are a few I made today.

Christmas cards for March

I am trying to make 5 Christmas cards a month

so I am not in a big crunch time

come the holidays.

These are my five cards for March.

The poinsettia die is from Spellbinders

and I have had it forever.

10th Anniversary card

My friend asked me to make her a simple

10th anniversary card for her to

give to her daughter and son in law.

She wanted it a little fancy, but simple.

I like how this turned out.

Birthday Candles

Lani was here visiting from Boston

and we crafted together.

This is the card we came up with.

This is a new die I got in the mail.

We decided to use it and make a colorful card.

It was fun as two heads are better than one.

I wish Lani lived closer so we could craft together

more often!

Lace Die

I got this new lace die and decided

to play with it.

I think it would make a beautiful

wedding card.

As I cut it in black, I am not sure

I like the pink layer.

Probably just should have made that 

layer black.

Oh well, live and learn.

Alcohol Markers on Silver Paper

My friend Ann taught me how to do this technique this morning.

You take alcohol markers and color randomly 

on silver paper.  You then run it through an embossing folder.

I made a bunch of these backgrounds as I loved how they turned out.

I need to practice a little as I don't like the stripe look.

They are still beautiful though and I am sure

I will be using this technique for a while.
