Christmas Box with Cards

One last item that I made this past week for the Craft Fair.  This is a box I made using a single piece of cardstock, 8-1/2 X 11.  With the right scores (yes, I tried four times!), it is perfect for the cards and envelopes.  

Using retired designer series paper, I layered the front and placed the ornament gift tag on a doily attached to the ribbon.  The ribbon slides off and the box opens with four cards and envelopes inside.

Two More Christmas Cards!

Here are the last two Christmas cards I made for my Craft Fair next weekend.  Remember, if you're not doing anything, we'll be at the Lady of the Cove Catholic Church Christmas in July Crafts and More from 10-4 on Friday, July 17th and 9-2 on Saturday, July 18th.  

These cards were pretty simple and easy to mail as well.  I stamped my image on whisper white card stock and then embossed the paper using retired embossing folders.  I then layered them on coordinating card stock and they are done!

Lovely As A Tree Christmas Blessings

This is a card I revamped from last year.  I love this set and using Bermuda Bay and Pool Party ink really makes this tree pop.  I used the rock and roll technique on this.  

I stamped my tree in pool party and then rock and rolled in Bermuda Bay.  I layered this on Bermuda Bay card stock and then popped it up on dimensionals.  The card base is Bermuda Bay with white card stock and retired designer series paper.

Just a few more. . .

Here is another preview of a Christmas card I made using retired Designer Series Paper.  If you're like me and have lots of paper, this is a quick and easy card to make and uses up those scraps!

This is a card that will be added to our Christmas Card Class in November as well.

Using Old Olive card stock as the base, I then embossed the Whisper White with the retired Snowflake embossing folder.  I then punched out triangles using my retired Perfect Pennants punch.  You can also use the new Tree Punch which is what I used for my main tree.  I also embossed my card stock triangles using another retired embossing folder.

Using Festival of Trees stamp set, I stamped garland on my tree and then punched it out.  Adding a Star to the top finishes it off.  You could even add a colored jewel to the star! 

Leave me comments below on what you would do to make this card your own!

Another Choice for Christmas Cards

Here is one of my favorite cards using White Christmas.  Do you send out hand-made Christmas cards?  If so, this is one that comes together quickly and is easy to mail!

I used Always Artichoke card stock for the base and added a piece of black to pop the white stamped piece.  I used my two-way glue pen to hit and miss for snow flakes and touched a little on the hills to mimic snow.  Then I added my dazzling diamonds glitter!  

I stamped and hand cut out my car and tree and then popped it up with dimensionals.  Really nice in person!  

Be sure to let me know what you think of this card!

One More Bag

Here is the final bag I made for the Christmas in July Craft Fair.  I made these cards using a retired kit from Stampin' Up!  They are all Kindness cards and made the bag from designer series paper and cardstock.  There are four cards and envelopes in this bag as well.   I hand stitched with the white gel pen on the strips around the top, bottom and inside panels.
