Precious Moments Tri-Shutter Christmas Card

I got this stamped image from a previous Secret Sister swap and a good friend of mine expressed her admiration for the image, so I made a card for her for our Christmas Secret Sister swap. I used DCWV's Christmas pack from last year. The "NOEL" was cut at 1" using my Blackletter Solutions cartridge. I colored the darling image with Copics, and embellished it with liquid pearls, smooch inks and Stickles. Inside the tri-fold card were more embellishments--- the red flower stickers from KI, a cardinal sticker from Jolee's Boutique, a lovely fabric trim, and the gold rick-rack sticker from Jolee's Boutique. The red crystals were from The Paper Studio. The sentiment was computer generated and the label was using a die from Spellbinders. The gold pearls were from Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

Cinderella and Aurora

I had cut both princesses at "Fit To Page" using my Cricut Expression. I used paper from DCWV's Luxury stack for both gowns. I colored both princesses using my Copic Markers. Their features were drawn in using my Copic SP pen. Stickles, mica flakes and liquid pearls were used to embellish their dresses and jewelry.

Hoppy Christmas!

I made this shaker box for the Secret Sister swap for the purpose of using it as a rattle. I cut the frog from Create-A-Critter at 2". I used glossy accents for his cheeks and Stickles to emphasize his features. The background paper is from last year's DCWV's Christmas paper pack. The wreath was made using Martha Stewart's branch punch.

I filled up the shaker box with seed and bugle beads.

Domestic Goddess Recipe Box

I got this recipe box from the dollar bin at Michael's and altered it using paper from My Mind's Eye, Graphic 45's Domestic Goddess, and cardstock from Crafty Secrets.

Colorful Invitation Card

I made this card for this week's Design Team Project for My Sheri Crafts. I used paper from Basic Grey's 6x6 Cupcake paper stack. I used Just Rite Stamper's Times New Roman Custom Design Cardmaking Kit for the sentiment, and I framed it with Inkadinkado's Maison Frames. I used Labels Four and Labels Eight by Spellbinders to frame the stamped image. I inked the edges of the frames and used chalk to emphasize the flourishes. The punch that I used is from Martha Stewart, the ribbon is from a swap and the flower is from Petaloo.

Wintry Layout

I rarely post layouts in my blog, and my guilty reason is that I am not caught up with my scrapping. :-P I made this all-white layout for the Secret Sister swap. I used pearl paper from AC, GP white cardstock and glitter paper from Core'dinations. The chipboard letters were from DCWV, embellished with Flower Soft. The large snowflake was from When Its Cold Outside, cut at fit to page. I used my Spellbinders dies, embossed using Cuttlebug folders for the picture mats and the tags. The border punches are from Martha Stewart, and I used Viva Decor pearl pen for the flourishes. The crystal flourish is from Recollections.

More Christmas Ornaments!

I made some ornaments for both the GIBBS and Secret Sister Christmas swaps. Both of my friends have different color preferences, and I made sure that they both get what they will like. :-) I loved the Kusudama ball that Denni made so much so I made two of them!


I used Becca Feeken's tutorial for the Fleur-De-Lys ornaments.


I painted this wooden tree ornament with silver acrylic paint and covered it with Stickles, Flower Soft and mica flakes.

I also made this Tilda ornament for my Secret Sister (not so secret anymore!) because she loves Tildas.
