Daughters Thank You cards

Here are some 3x3 Thank You cards that my 6 yr. old daughter made for friends who gave her Christmas presents. I think she did a wonderful job. She picked out all the stamps and paper, mom helped with punching and cutting mats. She's turning into a great crafter. The stamps are from Studio G and the bird and owl are Stampin Up punches. The tree was colored with chalks. The bird she used her crayons on and the smiling flower was paper pieced that she cut out herself

Thanks for looking.

Holiday Gift card holders and wine tag

Here are a few samples of some gift card holders that were made for family. The stamps are from The Angel Company (images), the sentiment is Studio G and the paper line is from my stash. The holders are belly banded. The first photo is a wine topper that I had made as my tag. The stocking is flocked. The snowflakes are punched and a piece of white shimmer cardstock was placed behind them. The borders on the other cards were using an EK Success border punch. I used nestabilities to layer the images.

Winter mini album

This mini album was made for my daughter-in-law who does not scrapbook, so I kept the mini very simple. I used DCWV winter stack that I am still trying to use up that I had bought a few years ago. The stamps are from Studio G and Stampin Up. The snowflake embellisments are confetti from Walmart. and I used Tim Holtz on the edge die for the pockets. I used Kathy Orta's card and envelope technique for the mini. The cards and envelopes are Recollections from Michaels. For more pictures I have added a slide show of the mini in detail.

Breast Cancer TP mini

This mini was made for a friend who has someone battling breast cancer. I wanted to make something she could look at through those rough times and brighten up her day. This was made from toilet paper rolls and I used the cuttlebug ribbon die on each of the tags. I kept this fairly simple so it wasn't too overwhelming.

Simple Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are some of the hardest cards to make. Here is one I recently done for a freind. The stamp is from Stamping Up. The image was stamped on white textured cardstock and cut with a rectangle Nestabilitie die and layered with a scalloped Nestabilitie die cut from patterned paper. The background is white cardstock that I ran through the Cuttlebug with a Stampin Up embossing folder.
