Elves Make Christmas Happen

 I haven't shared my last design from my Christmas card collection.  It's all about the elves during Christmas and don't we parents know that !!

This image is from Stampin' Up Holiday Lineup set, which is just cute.  They also have the lineup of snowmen and reindeer.  Just some die-cutting and lots of coloring made this card come to life.  I also had some red suede for the front of the card, but not enough for the inside, at least not for all 10 cards (I bought it a while back).

I found these cute sentiments from All That Scraps.  Thought they were perfect.  Pretty simple card, except ALL that coloring !!

I'm going to enter this card in the Anything Goes Challenge - Traditional Colours, because let's face it, this card doesn't get more traditional than this.

thanks for looking and reading ;o)

Friends with Flair Friday - Cool Penguin

All fifty Christmas cards are done and in the mail! Whoohoo!!  5 different designs, 10 of each design.  Here's my collection.

 I look forward to Friday's to see everyone's hard work and inspiration pieces from using Unity.  It's a fun Friday - Unity Friends with Flair!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for my son's Spanish teacher.  Her favorite color is yellow, but I thought bright yellow was not the ticket for this card, so I used my parental vote and made it Goldenrod color.  Thought is was more appropriate Christmas color.  Here it is:

Using the Unity Stamp of the Week, Penguin Coolness, because his teacher is SO cool.  I embossed the image and fussy cut it out and cutoff the hanging snowflake.  I decided to cut out the snowflake twice so I could double side it and hang it from a goldenrod piece of floss.  That way the snowflake spins.  Die-cut some snowflakes and put some brads from the Spare Parts collections in the middle of them.

thanks for looking and reading :o)   Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and to a best New Year!!

Friends with Flair - Blue Tag, Snowflakes

It's Friday !!  Friends with Flair at Unity Stamp Company!!  I won last week, it was a happy surprise Monday night when I saw my card as the winner.  If you have any Unity stamps and have created a project with them, Unity wants to see it.  It's always great to see what other crafters have made with Unity Stamps and get ideas for the stamps you do have and want.

This week I made a real simple card because I needed to get done with the my Christmas cards.  Every year I make 5 different designs and 10 of each design. That way family members can talk about the different cards they received.  I'm crazy, I know.  I use the deep navy as my main card, a medium blue for the tag and white embossing powder for the tree stamp.  Added ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and Ribbon Carousel (they have the same curly ribbon, luckily I had some from both companies, because I needed it all).  Then die-cut some snowflakes. Easy and fast to make 10 of them.

Once again I can enter into more than one challenge.  YAY !!
