More Xmas Cards...

Hopefully it pays off. I've been Xmas card making for the last few weeks, not crazily but maybe one a day. These are a few of the many I've made. Inspiration is the name, creativity is the game! Enjoy!

My naughty penguins having a blast.
I used the Cricut cartridge Zooballoo "P"
to get these most adorable bundle of cuteness.

The rose was from McGill paper blossom.
Papers from Bazzill and creativity was from me,
yours truly! Seasons Greetings!

The stamp, I had bought last year from a scrap fair.
I heat embossed in white on black, did the same on
another and cut out the tree and moon to layer on here
for a 3D effect (I don't think you can see it here).

I really love this one. Very simple and elegant.
These uses the 2 smaller petals, however, shaped differently.

Another paper blossom flower, this time the beautiful
poinsettia, some lace and tear edged effect brings out
an elegance in this card.

Slippery "Slide"

 I've always wanted to make a slider card and haven't been able to find a card design I liked until now. I found the design off of some site that was doing "operations christmas cards" for Troops. This is really awesome I had to share. Oh and it was so nice I had to make it twice. LOL.

Iris Folding

I've discovered, what some of you may have done for years, IRIS FOLDING and it is the most awesome thing ever. I've only made 1 thing so here it is for now and more to come.

{okay... can't get my pictures to load. I'll make some more foldings and add them over the weekend. Sorry, guys!}

 

Okay, finally got around to posting the iris foldings.  Now that I have it up, here's the story behind my discovery of this beautiful technique: I received a list of vendors from the rubber stamp and scrapbooking expo and as I was browsing through their websites one night, I came upon this and and especially this template and I went on a hunting rampage to find it; FOUND IT!

Thank you...

Made this one for one of my work Sups for letting me borrow her Cuttlebug for nearly a month. I had a blast with it and had to give it back. Now I really need to go get myself one. Contemplating between the Cuttlebug or the BigShot.
