Christmas Cards 2010 - Second Batch

Here is my second wind on making Christmas cards. I wanted to use up the card pad that I was working on in my previous post. I used the same paper from Making Memories - Noel Collection.











In this second batch I incorporated buttons in most of the cards. It's amazing what you can come up with when you are focused and are in the zone. There were a bit of scraps left over and I decided to make some gift tags.

I just used a large circle punch to cut the shape from the scraps. The string is from shipping tags that I had on hand. Really easy to make and assemble. I'm actually proud of myself in using the paper that I bought and that I'm not left with any scraps that will eventually just collect dust in my stash. This was so much fun. Now I just have to decide who gets what card and mail them out. Click here to watch the video. Thanks for stopping by. Happy creating!

Christmas Cards 2010

I was at a crop this past Saturday hosted by my friend Vivian. My goal objective was to work on Christmas cards....and I did! Those who know me, know that I hardly ever get anything done at crops. This time was different, I had no distractions...except for the food, but I remained focused. I ended up making 10 cards, woo hoo! Here they are:

The beautiful papers I used are from Making Memories - Noel Collection.

This paper was soo much fun to work with. The card base I used for all the cards, but one, is the card pad by Making Memories. These are pre-made card bases, that are pre-scored. All I had to do was add some pattern paper and a few embellies.

You can watch a video of me showing the cards up close here. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Filming Paperdrama

This is a hanging sign that I created for myself to post at my door when I am filming my YouTube videos. People who upload videos on YouTube know that the worst thing that can happen to oneself while filming a tutorial or any kind of video, is getting interrupted mid project. This is what happened to me on several occassions, and let me tell you, it's not pretty. I've already glued paper together and had already started the video and in walks my brother talking blah blah blah while I'm filming. Arghhhh! Of course the paper that I am using in my project is limited and I can't just start fresh. I had to carefully separate the pieces and start again. Well no more! LOL. This sign is suppose to stop all intruders from ever walking in unannounced and ruining my project. My sign has a vintage shabby chic feel to it. I used the Melissa Francis Chipboard Bracket as the base of my sign.
I used my Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to add the final touches to this project.

LSG Starburst Spray - Opal Sea Oats

LSG Starburst Spray - Sea Mint Green
LSG Glitz Spritz - Burnished Bronze
LSG Glitz Spritz - Desert Moon Cactus Gold

Here is the video that I created to explain how I used these sprays in more detail. Thanks for taking a look. Maybe this will inspire all of you YouTube film makers to create your own sign.
