Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Hey y'all! Aymee Gandy of 'A Scraphappy Southernbelle' here with you on this chilly day to share a card I have made featuring a sneak peek of the December Deal of the Month from Creative Charms!!! Let me tell you guys...the Deal this month is AWESOME! Stay tuned for the debut of the deal, but today I wanted to tease you with a project of the goodies! Tee Hee!

"Walking In A Winter Wonderland" Easel Card

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: The Paper Studio, Core'dinations

Patterned Paper: Die Cuts With A View

Brads, Gems, Ribbon, Flowers: Creative Charms

Stamps: My Craft Spot

Ink: Stampin' Up!

Thread: Coats & Clark

Corner Punch: EK Success

Electronic Cutter: Cricut Expression (Provo Craft)

Cartridge: Home Accents

Software: Sure Cuts A Lot (Craft Edge)

SVG: My Scrap Chick (Tinks)

Adhesive: Helmar

This card features a southern belle that I cut using my Cricut, SCAL, and SVG's from My Scrap Chick. If you do not already know, I LOVE anything like this, so this is a card that I had so much fun making! I made it into a non-traditional Christmas card. I used goodies from Creative Charms to jazz up my southern belle and as embellishments on other parts of the card. I already know who I am sending this card to! I hope she will like it!

 All of the fabulous embellishments from Creative Charms really made this card for me! They were so easy and fun to work with!

 The snowflake gems from Creative Charms added a winter feeling to the card.

 I used a flower and some gems from Creative Charms to jazz up her hat.

 More Creative Charms embellishments were added to her dress and parasol.

 I used a Creative Charms brad to act as my mechanism to hold the card in the upright position. I also used some gems to add a bit of bling around my sentiment.

 On the back of the card, I stamped another sentiment and left room for me to write my holiday message.

I hope you have enjoyed this card! Remember to stay tuned for the December Deal of the Month here on the Creative Charms blog! It is sweet!

Happy Scrappin'!

Some Cards With the Dec. KOTM ~ Plus a Quick Video Tutorial

Hi Everyone!
True :D here.

It is my turn to post and I have created several cards with Creative Charms beautiful December Kit of the Month. I do hope when you are finished checking out my post that you will scroll down and see all of the awesome projects the other girls have created to inspire you.

The card below was created with their Ivory Vintage Velvet Poppies, The Classic Grey Vintage Velvet Poppies, and their Gradient White Pearl Stickers.

See the video below to see how I colored them to match the designer paper and beautiful golden ribbon.

The set below uses the Vintage Brown Velvet Poppies and their Light Green Vintage Jewels.

Here is a very quick tutorial showing you an easy way to color your embellishments to match your other card elements.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Walking thru a Creative Wonderland!

A Warm Hello to all of our dear Creative Charms artists and friends out there! This is K Andrew posting today on the fabulous Creative Charms blog, where lots of inspiration and delightful projects await each day.
It's absolutely warm and delightful at Creative Charms this wintry month, and Creative Charms has given us a little bit of a Winter Wonderland with the December Deal of the month. Each frosty treasure delights and will give you a wonderful taste of winter!
The deal of the month is filled with chilly gems, glistening snowflakes, sparkly flowers, luscious trims, and more!
I was thrilled to work some icy magic creating both a tag and layout....having a bit of winter was just what I needed living in Florida! Thank you Creative Charms!

ALL Creative Charms products used today are from the Deal of the Month.

For my tag above, I created a tag from white cardstock, added a quick paper Let it Snow title, and then added the beautiful Creative Charms Snowflake Trim, topping each snowflake with clear & blue gradient crystal gems from Creative charms. I then added the beautiful frosty blue flared flower from Creative Charms.

For my layout above, I simply used blue and white cardstocks, along with more of that beautiful irridescent snowflake trim from Creative Charms, the pure blue blossoms, white & blue flared flowers! I added gradient gems to bling up each pure blue blossom.

Lastly I created decorative pins using Creative Charm's tiny star beads from the Gem Garden line, and added some clear snowflakes from the Seasonal Sparkles.

All you need is a bit of paper, ribbon, and the Deal of the Month for December will take care of the rest.

So go ahead and indulge your sweet tooth with some frosty treasures from the Winter Wonderland Deal of the Month  for only 6.99 till the end of the month.

Have a wonderfully creative day from all of us here at Creative Charms!

Gift Bags

I created these Gift Bags on the Cricut using SCAL (Sure Cuts Alot). I added some inking to the edges. I added some paper and used the Creative Charms December Deal of the Month.

For this bag I used the following:

Winter Medley

Blue Gradient Gem Stickers

Blue Vintage Velvet Ric Rac

Snowflake Ribbon

The Winter Wonderland Deal had plenty of goodies to really dress up these gift bags. They were a perfect addition to the project. I used only a small portion of all the elements on these three bags.


Thanks for stopping by and have fun with your holiday preparations!
