A Few More Christmas Cards for OWH

I went to a Stampin Up workshop on Sunday and made 5 cards - Christmas cards seem to bring out glitter paper - so I had to opt out of the glitter - of course - and isolated a snowflake card with glitter paper.  I put that card in a ziploc so I didn't contaminate my cards - AND I checked everything over and over at different angles.  The snowflake card remains safely isolated with it's glitter paper! These were fun cards to make and I enjoyed the company!

Christmas Cards from a 6 x 6 pad

I decided to try the 6 x 6 technique posted on Operation Write Home.  for the 1st  14 cards I used OWH sketches - and still had A LOT of the 6 x 6 paper left!  AND scraps!  So I started making my own "creations".  My final count is 30 cards!  My 30th card is one of scrap strips!  I had to clean up my craft room - the disorder really bothered me!  So I had to conquer my fear of unmatched patterns next to each other!  I should mention 2 things - 1) I noticed a giant smear on one card that I will go back and fix - but there are 3 in the picture; and 2) and I may have mixed up sketch 56 and sketch 115!  In conclusion - - -  using sketches makes the card making experience more enjoyable for me and I can't stand a huge mess in my crafting space - which is why I often make 1 card at a time.

Can't Get Enough Love Cards

Here is my card for Operation Write Home's MidWeek Throwdown - this week!  I was really stuck on the black-cream and white - papers!

Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge

The challenge is to use circles - so back into my stash I went and found this card- - -

A series of cards I made

I seem to be drawn to this pad of paper I got last year - It has crushed velvet like paper and beautiful stripped and dotted paper.  I couldn't cut the paper - at first - but once I did - I couldn't stop making cards with it.  I have made 20 cards -using 5 or 6 sheets of paper-12x12.  So I still have lots more!  the pad also has stickers - which I used!  Many don't look like stickers - which is what I loved!  This time I decided I wanted stripes and dots for the top and bottom section - and a different pattern to go over where these connect.  Then I added "stuff".  I really enjoyed the results.  I also located the instructions for my Crop a Dile - and used it on two cards to set brads!!!! 

Simple but Sincere

Here is my card for October 3rd Midweek Throwdown - I had a vision - it did not, however, work! This card idea was my 2nd vision!  I don't know that it worked but I do like it.  This is the 1st time I have scanned a card to get a picture - the black spots don't exist in reality! (hehe) And the colors are white and calypso coral!  So much for my vision!
