Scrappy Christmas

Good morning!  I had a couple of scrappy Christmas cards for the OWH box to be sent out early.  Sending them early helps give Sandy an idea of the card to contact ratio so she can advise the card makers of the amount needed (or not).

Making these scrappy cards is rather relaxing and I'm not making tons of multiples that she doesn't need right now.  Ok, off to finish up some Thank You cards!  Have a great day!

OWH Sketch Challenge #236

I got it done on the same day!!! *faints*  LOL!  I have spent the past week tearing apart and reorganizing my crafty stuff and could actually see my whole table this morning.  I am so surprised that this one came together so quickly. The banner doesn't show up well in the photo but it is a slightly off white diamond dust (No flaking) and looks awesome with the iridescent snowflake that was cut on the Cricut.   I'm so excited!

Gratitude in Fall Colors

Here are 3 more that are winging their way to OWH this week.  More fall colors on shiny embossed paper.  This card is was designed using OWH sketch #91.

Call me CRAZY Fall Cards

I finally got this group of 10 cards done!  I made them as missing you cards so that they won't "expire" if not used by Thanksgiving.  The leaves are all these wonderful colored stickers with gold foil edging and accents.  The were too thin to use on the lumpy layers so I mounted them on cardstock and fussy cut them out.

Yes, I just said I cut them out..... enough leaves and acorns for TEN cards.  Yikes!  I had made 2 cards and thought they looked good and wanted to use up a bunch of the remaining stickers....... UM, yeah.......... that was a lot of cutting.  But I do love the result!

Thinking of You - Winter

I know at first glance you might think this is a Christmas card.  Look again.  No decorated trees, no presents, no ornaments.  Just seasonal colors and some holly.  So this card would be perfect any time during the holiday or winter months to say something other than just Merry Christmas.  It could actually be used as a birthday card for someone who's birthday is in December or January or example.  I'm trying to find and use paper and sentiments that can be a little more flexible.

OWH - Lovin'

This morning's card share is a pair.  The background paper has ALL the words shiny embossed!  OH-Aahh!  I'm working on making nice layered embellishments that are not thick.  With all the scoring on the petals it looks thicker but they really lay quite flat.

OWH - ODBD Challenge - August 2014

Good Sunday morning!  The ODBD challenge for August has been posted on the Stars and Stamps blog and is asking for cards with stars.  I love cards with stars much like I love cards with snowflakes.  Since there is no Sunday Sketch this week I might just work on some MORE cards with stars.

OWH - Missing You

This morning I'm posting some cards that were just fronts sitting in a box.  Sometimes when I am clearing out the scraps I just make up fronts and finish them later when I see what my shipment is short of. 

Then I just add the sentiment and the embellishment.  I look through the box and certain ones will jump out and me asking to be used.

It also helps to have them ready when the mo-jo is taking a snooze.  It is much easier to make a card when all I need is the sentiment and embellishment.  I hope you liked them!
