Princess Kitty Cat

 This was made for the new Creatalicious Challenges "Something New" challenge.  My something new is the cat image I got from JessicaLynnOriginals.com.  Cute, huh?  For this card I used 4 different DPs, pink glitter paper, 3 gems and four Stampin' Up brushed brass butterfly embellishments.  I used 5 punches for all of the shapes and a word die for the sentiment.

Thanks for looking - and 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Royal Floating Card

 This card was made using two images (from two sets) from The Paper Shelter.  I used the gal from The Lady and the guy from Stylish Flirting.

I made a fancy fold card called a floating card.  I added a birthday banner from Cricut and a castle die cut.

Bear Birthday

 Another co-worker birthday card.  This time when I asked what she wanted on her card I was told "I really like cows and bears, they are my two favorite animals and color wise I like this kind of color palette vibe"

At first I was all excited to make a cow card, then started going through all of my images and looking at what I had.  I found this bear, then the hat and then the cupcake and simply had to put them together and use them on her birthday card!  Maybe next year I'll do a cow card for her?  haha  The papers, the images, the tag are all from Scrapbooks Gone Digital and Go Digital Scrapbooking.  The sentiment on the tag is from Create With TLC.  I used an embossing folder on the lighter colored kraft cardstock.  The trees were cut using a die I have, then I added some pearls and ribbon.  Once I got it put all together I pulled out my clear CTMH shimmer pen and my Glossy Accents to use on the bear, hat and cupcake.  After I finished I kept thinking it looks very masculine, but...hey, it's cute as heck!  Right?  LOL  I think she might like it anyway!  At least, I hope so!

Wishing You A Latte Peace, Love, Happiness

 I made this Z-Fold Flap card using Papers, die and coffee stamp from CTMH, the girl image and the paper behind her are from the Paper Shelter.  The paper behind the image is from a set called Callyn, the girl is from the set called Autumn Starter Kit.  For the front I added gems and flowers.  I used a CTMH Shimmer brush on her ear muffs, shoes and cupcake and on the blue circle on the die cut coffee cup.

I figured this could be used as an any occasion, birthday, Christmas card since it is more winter than just Christmas.

Santa and his Mrs - pop out Box card with matching envelope

 This is something I just purchased from Crafts U Print.  I love that it has Mrs. Claus on it WITH Santa!!  This is called Mr and Mrs Claus Pop Out Box Card.  It is actually a lighter pink when you purchase the digi set, I made it a dark almost red color of pink since I am giving it to MY Santa (the one with whom I work Claus gigs with).

I cut it using my Cricut, so it is smaller than what it would've been if I'd chosen to do it by hand.  Large enough I could add my message to it on the back side.  I added some shimmer to the "fur" and to the Mrs' hat.  I did not do ALL of the possible decoupage.  One thing about digital, you can go off script!  LOL  Here is what I made:

After I got it all addressed and sealed up, I started wishing I'd taken more pictures!  Dang it!  Oh well!!  LOL  I hope you enjoy!  Go check it out in the store!!

Christmas Cards

 I've been busy making Christmas cards.  Been having a lot of fun doing it!  Here is what I've made in the last couple of days.

The first two cards are images from Jan's Digi Stamps.  Jan has ALL of her Christmas sets 50% off right now, plus, she has an awesome FREE image.  On the first card I used Washi Tape across the bottom.  The holly/berries were cut from a scrap piece of paper, I added gems for the berries.  The sentiment on the second one was a rubber stamp from last month's stamp of the month at CTMH.  The yellow/gold gems are from Stamp'in Up.

This card was a make and take I did yesterday at Craft Warehouse in Boise, Idaho.

These next two are images I got from Crafts U Print.  I kept them pretty CAS since the images themselves are pretty busy.  I added gems to the Disney one and just a bow to the other.

This is another image (and sentiment) from Jan's Digi Stamps.  I added gems, a pearly lace and used a fun edge punch.

This one was made using image and paper from Create With TLC.  I used a big ol' poinsettia  used a die for the leaves (they aren't the right kind of leaf, but it's what I had), added sequins, washi tape and ribbon.

Happy Jolly Day

 I figured since I'm going to be enjoying tropical type weather for Christmas, this card with this paper would be very fitting.  I used some scrap paper from the Deck The Palms paper pack from CTMH, I cut the gift inside the card and the flower to the upper right from one of the pieces as well.  I did use some fun pink glitter paper too!  This Mrs. Claus will be enjoying the nice beaches and the wonderful summery type sunshine via a Christmas Cruise.  I can't wait!!  By "This Mrs. Claus", here is what I mean...

 

This is me with the Santa I've been working with for the last...Well, over 15 years.

Picture taken last weekend after we got to bowl with some extra fun kiddos.

a video can be seen HERE if you want to see us in action (the helicopter Santa isn't MY Santa)

Okay, back to my card.  LOL  Here is the card I made:

Thank You Kitty Cat

 This was made for the new "anything but Christmas" challenge over at Dragonfly Dreams.    I used a few different DPs, a paw print embossing folder and a rubber sentiment stamp.  The cat and butterfly are from a fun cat set I got from JessicaLynnOriginals.com.

Up the Chimney He Rose

 This card was made for this month's Christmas and/or Movement challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge.  We have two sponsors this month The Paper Shelter and Mirtillamente.  I chose to play with the "Yep, I have my Ways" image from The Paper Shelter.

For this card I u chose to make a slider card (he slides up and down).  I cut the different parts of the image using my Cricut.  I added gems and a bow.  I also used dots of pearls, sprayed with some mist and used some shimmer.  Super fun!

I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge!
