It's time for some more Christmas card inspiration! Today I want to share a couple more cards we made at my class last week.   Christmas Cheer- For this card, I used up some of my Washi Tape stash to make a tree.   Chocolate Woodgrain , Gold Polka Dot & Sparkle n shine.    I added some sparkles & a Gold sequin to finish the card off.  I stamped Christmas Cheer from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set .  This reindeer card was inspired by Close To My Heart.  They created cards like this for an Operation Smile Auction and an event I recently attended.  The background of this card is a Paper Fundamentals pattern.  The reindeer was cut from Cricut Artistry , and adorned with some colored sparkles & gems.  I stamped Christmas Greetings from the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp set.  Check back in tomorrow to hear all about my Black Friday Steals & Deals! 

This month, Close To My Heart is featuring the Nevermore paper pack.   At my All Day Crop last weekend, I created this Spooky layout for all the ladies.  They created this layout as part of their make n take project! This was a fun layout to design.  I used several Cricut cuts from both Artiste and Artistry.   Cricut Artistry Cricut Artiste Products used: Nevermore Paper Pack Cricut Artistry Cricut Artiste Grey & Black Epoxy Bubbles LOVE this layout??? I have TWO extra page kits.  They are available for $10 plus $3.50 shipping (US).  If you are interested, you can purchase these HERE

Did you know that Close To My Heart has come out with a  Watercolor Paint  set??? I absolutely LOVE playing with these fun paints!   I had a great time playing with paint to create this card.  I simply used a thin brush, and long vertical strokes to create a "grass" effect.  Then I tore the paper and layered it.   The Paper Garden- September Stamp of the Month was the perfect addition to this card.  I love that the flowers coordinate with Cricut Artistry too :) I stamped them in new colors- Pomegranate and Eggplant.   I finished off the card with some of the awesome new Paper Fundamentals Black Glitter Assortments .   Don't forget the Stamp of the Month is available this month only.  It's just $5 with your $50 purchase.   I have a couple more watercolor cards to share with you, so make sure you check back :)

Did you know that Close To My Heart has come out with a Watercolor Paint set??? I absolutely LOVE playing with these fun paints!   I feel like a kid again painting, it's exhilarating!! I will be sharing more cards with you this week... but here's the first: I used green watercolor to paint the bottom part of the card, then stamped it with "Don't let anyone dull your sparkle." from the Diamonds are Foreve r stamp set.  Then keeping with the Diamond theme, I cut a border of Diamonds from Cricut  Artistry , along with the Fab title.   Black Glitter paper along with the Yellow Bokeh patterned paper from Kaleidoscope were perfect! Check back later this week to see some more watercolor cards :) 

Who doesn't need birthday cards????
