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'!

A Vintage Noel Card

What can I say, I'm a Timmy fan and his 12 tags of Christmas always gets my attention. So when that first tag came out, I had the little baubles to create it with. Hi everyone, Erika Taylor here today to share with you my take on Tag 1 this year.

For this card I used a small canvas banner and first sprayed it with Vanilla Breeze Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. Before it was completely dry, I stamped the banner with a postage stamp I have. The ink ran to really give a vintage feel. LOVE IT!!! Pretty Pretty Pretty I say



I love how easy it is to fold and manipulate these canvas pieces. To create the dimension, I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. This helped lift the folds to give them that height I was looking for.



Isn't the color of that banner sweet? Against all that cool winter colors, it really gives the card a POP. Now take a look at those beautiful silver flower embellishments. The so reminded me of pointsettias, so out they came. They are from Creative Charms and went perfectly on this card. In the Antique Flower Medley pack, there are both gold and silver flowers. YUMMO!!!



One more picture hehe, showing the flower a little closer. You can also see the Glimmer Mist on the foliage too.



The perfect additions to any Vintage card I'm positive. These Vintage Flower Medleys are so pretty to work with and I love how the end result always blows my mind.

Thanks so much for stopping by  today. Let me know what you think. I adore your comments here on the blog, so don't be shy!!!

Until Next Time

Peace

Hi there! Joanna Bandelin here from Scrap-Making.
Today I wanted to share a fun festive holiday card perfect to give to someone special during this time of year.


I used my favorite die-cutting machine (my Cricut) to cut the reindeer silhouette out and added some bright red Gradient Gems Stickers to add some bling. Then I added the big bloom from the White Flared Flower Medley and a little Red Pure Blossom flower to the center using a glue dot. To finish off my card I added the Peace sticker from the Christmas Multi-Dimentsional Twinkle stickers.
Simple and easy and cute...my 3 favorite things these days! lol..

Happy Holidays! :)

Joy

December is upon us...only a day away. Where has the year gone?
I just got done playing with the FABULOUS November Deal of The Month. This packet of goodies really has all you need for your holiday projects and what a deal!!
I made this layout using an old T-shirt stretched inside of an embroidery hoop.


I added a few sparkling snowflakes from the Winter Medley. The red, green and diamond brads worked well to look like sparking ornaments and string of lights.

The pretty ribbon included in the Deal of The Month worked perfect for my background and it gave my layout plenty of color.

I also made this simple Holiday card by cutting out a doily using my die cut machine. The "berries" and bow really turned this doily into a pretty wreath.


Happy crafting!

O Christmas Tree!




I am working on getting my Christmas cards done for this year. I still have a way to go.  Here are 2 samples of cards.  The first one uses the Green Wide Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon wrapped around triangles to build a Christmas tree.  It is decorated with Holiday Gradient Gem Stickers and Red & Green Vintage Jewels all from the Deal of the month.  The tree trunk is also one of the Vintage Jewels.  I like how this one turned out.



This Christmas tree was stamped on card stock and once again decorated with the Holiday Gradient Gem Stickers from the Deal of the Month.  This deal is jam packed with goodies and perfect for completing all your Christmas cards!

Gift Box and Winter Friendship Card


Hi, it's Diane today with a couple of quick projects.  Most of you are probably busy getting ready for the Thanksgiving festivities - I hope you have a wonderful holiday!


If you want to make a gift package a bit more special, try adding some Creative Charms.  I wrapped wide green grosgrain ribbon around a small silver gift box, added a piece of black Vintage Velvet Ric Rac along the longer ribbon and popped on a couple of red Vintage poppies for an elegant presentation.


I changed the pearl brads that come in the vintage poppies with a red Vintage Jewel Brad and a round green Vintage Jewel for a different look.


We had snow in Massachusetts before Halloween but there hasn't been any more snow yet.  This card can be sent to a friend anytime during the winter.


I added a snowflake from the Winter Medley to the sentiment stamped inside the card.


An iridescent snowflake from the Winter Medley and a snowflake from the Winter Seasonal Sparkles accent the cut out design in the front of the card.


The word "snow" from the Winter Seasonal Sparkles is easy to add to the front of the card.  The tiny gems are embedded in adhesive and you can gently lift the entire word and place it on the card.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - I hope you can spend it with your loved ones.  If you want to see more detailed directions for these projects, you can check my blog, Capadia Designs (the posts will appear after the Thanksgiving holidays).

Christmas giving with Creative Charms

Hi everyone! Lisa here.

I have another gift idea for you today. Paper Crafts posted several different gift box and bag templates that you can print out.  You can find the link here.  These are perfect for holiday gifts.  I used the first box shown on the page.   Simply print out the pattern onto the back of pattern paper and cut out.  Embellish using your favorite Creative Charms products.  I decided to use this month's kit. 


And a matching card using the scraps from the box. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
Lisa
