JOLLY CHRISTMAS

I am finally making Christmas cards! 
 I am not making multiples of the same one this year, but all kinds. 
Here is just two of them and I will show more later. I normally get my ideas off of Pinterest so I can not tell you who posted this originally otherwise I would love to give them credit.  I do have most of the measurements for this card, but normally I just cut things to what I think look good.  The cards are all 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  The JOLLY on white is cut to 2x3, the mat is 2 1/4 x 3 1/4.  The fireplace is 4 inch wide, not sure how tall.  I did score it at 1/2" and 3/4" to make the mantel before I used the scallop edge punch.
I hope you enjoy!
 
 


SUPPLIES:
PAPER: RECOLLECTIONS (solid colors & designer (ALL GIRL)
STAMP: Festive & Fun (stampin' up)
INK: black Stazon, stampin' write markers (stampin' up)
PUNCH: scallop, Christmas sock (stampin' up)

PURPLE WEDDING

This is a card that I made as a wedding card, but can easily be turned into a card for many occasions.  This one came from the Disney Classics cartridge with Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hater.  I cut off the candle, added the flower, the rhinestones, and glitter glue.  Not exactly where I thought I would find my cake, but it was fun coming up with another use for the cake.  I cant wait to use the actual cake with the candle.  I think a nice white cake, with 2 different colors of frosting trim for a childs birthday would be fun.







































SUPPLIES:
STAMPS: NONE
PAPER: black, white, purple (recollections from Michaels)
CRICUT CARTRIDGE: Disney Classics (with alice n wonderland)
MISC: spellbinders, purple chalk, purple rhinestones, prima flower, glitter glue

This idea I got off Pinterest and I loved it.  Quick, clean and simple cards that you can make in a massive way. It took me longer to decide on the colored cardstock to go with the ink that I used than it did to put them together.  I scribbled ink onto white cardstock, stamped the words, layered it onto black cardstock and then onto colored cardstock. I hope you enjoy.
