Quick Christmas Cards

Good morning!  I don't know about all of you, but December is always crazy busy for me, so I am always on the lookout for quick ideas to take a little stress out of the equation.  Here are some cards that I made with DCWV's Red & White Christmas stack that fit that description!

 I made 10 in all and 100% of the papers, including the sentiment panels were from that stack.  Quick, yet pretty!

 I embellished several with Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine.

 Others had dots of white pearl pen or silver stickles.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Christmas Gift Card Holder

Hello all!  Today I am posting for the Trendy Twine blog with this great way to present a gift card for a Christmas gift.  It is embellished with Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine, our featured twine for December.

I placed the gift card in a Kraft Wide Chevron Treat Bag and folded down the top.  Next I cut a strip of red cardstock not quite long enough to wrap all the way around the bag.  Using Distress Oxide inks in Peeled Paint and Antique Linen, I stamped stars from the APB Merry Christmas stamp set and a sentiment from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set on the cardstock.  Once the ink was dry, I used a small hole punch to make two rows of holes through which I laced the Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine.

To finish off the bag, I glued sequins from the Christmas Shaker Medley onto it.

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Christmas Hair Bow

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  This is a very busy time of the year for me, as it is for many of you, I am sure!  The project I am sharing today is a little different than usual.  It is a Christmas bow made out of felt for my baby girl!

I started out by picking the colors of felt that I wanted to make the bow out of.  The glitter gold is not actually felt, but is found by the felt in my craft store.  It worked well in the same way as the felt did for my project.

Next, I cut pieces of the Bow 3D Lattice 2 Layer file (is also part of the Decorated Large Tote Gable Box file) out of Reynolds Freezer Paper.  The parts of the file that I used were the solid bow and the straight tails.  I also broke apart those pieces in my software and deleted the holes that were in the original files so I was left with the following pieces:

The measurements for the pieces above were (top to bottom) 5.25" wide, 4.5" wide, 3.75" wide, and 2.75" wide.  The next step was to iron the freezer paper shiny side DOWN onto the back side of the felt.  Use medium low heat on your iron (or a polyester setting) and use a thin pressing cloth.  You know it is heated enough when the freezer paper sticks to the felt.

Here are all of the pieces ironed onto the felt.

Next, using a scissors, cut around the freezer paper templates.  Gently peel the freezer paper off of the felt.  Your pieces will look like this:

Using a hot glue gun, add a dot of glue to the center of the bow, fold in one end, then repeat for the other side of the bow.  Assemble each bow piece the same way, then use hot glue to build the bow from the bottom up, starting with the tail piece, then largest to smallest bow piece.  I tied a piece of gold ribbon around the assembled bow and added a Christmas button to finish it off.

Here it is on my little sweetheart!  Now she is ready for Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Ornament Christmas Card

Good Morning!  Today is a reminder post for the current Christmas Crafts challenge that SumMore Fun has going on in their SumMore Fun Creations Facebook group.  You can see even more inspiration on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses a Victorine Originals Snowflake Ornament stamp and a sentiment from Raisin Boat's Merry Nature stamp set.

I stamped the Snowflake Ornament stamp with Sparkling Unicorn Spit in Starling Sasha and Violet Vulture by painting it onto the stamp with a brush and then stamping.  I love the shimmer it creates!  I then die cut the square with a GMD Lacey Lattice Square die and stamped the sentiment in black ink.  The patterned papers are from Pink and Main's Frosty paper pad.  I embellished with a silver tinsel ribbon (which I adhered with Glue Dots super strength runner) and GMD Winter Sparkle Glitter enamel dots.

Remember, we have a monthly challenge going on right right now in the SumMore Fun Creations Facebook group!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
