My First 2010 Christmas Card...

Well, my second if I count the one I shipped for publication at Srapbook Extra magazine! So let me say its the first one I can offer then! :o)

You know my goal for this year season? Use a lot of stickers! I have so much I forgot a lot of them within my drawers:



I won't be long here, I have so much to do!
I'll have a big rush at work until november 4th so I want to make a lot of cards before! And will receive a lot of orders for the store so... busy busy!
See you very soon with another card!

Sketch Saturday Sketch #79

What a great sketch this week on Saturday Sketch Challenge!
I had to do it!
And as I'm in a hurry to make my Christmas cards on time, sketches are perfect!!!!
Here's my card:

I used Penny Black New Slapstick Stamp, Winter Swing. Isn't adorable?

Cuttlebug Challenge: Glitter!!!

Good evening girls!
I'm here to enter a card for the Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot: Glitter!
I embossed my patterned paper on the wrong side but finally found it was great looking neverthless, as I guess negative embossing is cool too! lol
Here it is:

I used papers and little girl die-cut from Colorful Christmas Collection by My Mind's Eye. The glittery snoflake and tree are from a free gift I received with my PaperCraft Inspirations mag last year if I remember well!

Simon Says.......Winter Love

Penny Black Saturday Challenge #77

Yes! A Christmas Card!
Its what I needed to give me the strenght to make my last Christmas cards: sketch!
Here's my card for this week Penny Black Challenge:

I used the new Slapstick Stamp, I love it!
I do the coloring using my FaberCastel pencil, add Dew Drop and embossed red strips of cardstock with my embossing folder from Cuttlebug. The sentiment is from Stampin'Up!

And I'm going in my scraproom for another card... right now!!!

First Card for Christmas 2009

I take few minutes to share with you a very simple card:

Very simple because no embossing, no stamping: its a sticker!
I love to use some when I'm late with my cardmaking and its, in my opinion, as cute as a stamped image. Little pricking and Dew Drop, TADA!!!!

Sketch Saturday #72

How fun to create cards following fab sketches?
You have to take a look at Sketch Saturday, you'll find so much great sketches!
Here's the one for this week:

And here's my card following this sketch:

I used Tilda and Edwin Skating stamp from Magnolia, colored with my Prismacolors, patterned paper from American Traditional Designs, Dew Drops and some Liquid Applique to make fur on Tilda coat.
Thanks for looking and lets go into your craftroom to make a card for this week challenge!

First Christmas Card

Yes, my first Christmas card of the season!
I need to start early if I want to have enough time to do other things... lol

Paper from Cosmo Cricket, Dew Drop et Glitter Sticker... Thats all!
I should have call my post Quick Card, Very Quick Post!:o)

I want you to forgive me so....

...I show you the slideshow of almost all the Christmas cards I made this year and some from last year.

Snowman watching the sky...

Hi all! Christmas is near! Almost just one week to go!
Are you ready? All your cards are sent? Mine are all in the post, except one!
Will send this cute Snowman watching the sky to my best friend this week.
I don't think she'll read my blog on this busy time of the year so I think I can show you! Well... fingers crossed!!! LOL


I found this idea within the Christmas booklet I received with my PaperCraft Inspirations magazine last Christmas if I remember right... You only need cardstock, round and snowflake punches in different sizes and you'll need to cut a triangle for the nose. Add a Christmas wish and here's a cute card to send to friends and family!

Snowflakes and Gems

As my week is full of things other than cardmaking (awww....) here is another very quick post.
The card I share with you today is a card I made using a sketch from a challenge on my friend Pop-Art's Forum.

I used patterned papers (from American Traditional Designs -Snow Day Collection), clear stamp by Inkadinkado -Winter Trails set, gems, snowflakes brads, sentiment stamp from SU and I draw the stitches using my Soufflé pencil. I like the result.

Lets hope I'm in a good mood for quick post... this way I'm sure I share card with you! Have a fab day!

A quick post...

As my daughter is sick since saturday, I'll share a Christmas card this morning with you within a very short post.
I hope everything will be OK very soon!
Here's my card:

I used my scalloped punch, flowers, some gems and (again!) sticker.
I'll come back to share another card, right after doing some shoveling cause we received a lot of snow since yesterday...

I told you...

LOL I think I know myself right...
I was sure I would have trouble posting 1 or 2 Christmas cards by week, not enough time to be online...
OMG time flies!!!!
Between cardmaking and houseworks, gifts lists and laundry... HELP!!!!
Well, anyway, here's a card! LOL

I used Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, ribbon, mini gems and Gingerbread Man sticker and HOP! A big cookie... lol Looks like Goglu cookie... LOL

My Christmas Cards... finally!

November and December are the busiest time of the year for me and for a lot of you I'm sure! Making cards, buying gifts, decorations for the home and the Christmas tree and so much more!
I have difficulty to save time to be online all year long, imagine when Holidays are near...
Well anyway, I'm here today to share 2 Christmas Cards and I'm hoping to share some next week.

The first one is a simple one (Yes I love simplicity!). I used my envelope scorer to do the embossed lines, added a patterned paper and put 3 scalloped circle with glitter stickers. I added gems on each gift stickers. This year I made matched gift tags with most of the cards I sell. People loved the idea!

The second card is my first one of the season. I used an embossing folder from Cuttlebug, patterned paper, ribbon, snowman sticker and square gems. Again, I made a matching gift tag.
Both cards were gone as soon as I showed them! That's cool! And its why I'm still doing Christmas cards each year... I love working in my little craftroom, its relaxing... When someone buy me a card its just a great feeling. If only I could manage to find more time... Anyone with good tips?

Santa

Hi all!!! I hope you're all doing fine and enjoying doing Christmas cards!
My Christmas card of the week is one with Santa this time.
Its an easy easy one but often it is the most effective card, isn't it?

I only used cardstock and bits of patterned paper and Christmas tree brad.
The Santa is from a publicity, thats calling recycling!
I loved this image and thought I could do something with it... Ta Da!!!

A little Angel told me...

... that Christmas is in less than 2 months!!!
(sorry for my english don't even sure I can say it like this! lol)
So its Christmas cards season! I made several cards yet and I'll try to show you one or two by week until Christmas. If I have time to show you more then thats cool but you know I'm not often online so 1 or 2 seems Ok for me! :o)

The first one is a little Angel, yeah, its the one who told me about Christmas...

I choose patterned paper from Rusty Pickle, Angel 3D sticker mounted on cardstock and used my Nestabilities Classic Ovals by Spellbinders.

Any characters with cute smile like this: I just can't resist! And I have to confess I fell in love easily with cute snowman and penguin, oh and gingerbread man and polar bear... lol
So be back often if you wanna see some cute little face on my cards!
