Noel Christmas Card

"Noel" is a word translated from the idea relating to birth. Of course, it is applies to Jesus Christ as we celebrate His birth at Christmas. This card was made with beautiful Craft Consortium papers (ETSY SHOP). I love the colors and hand-painted artwork. I used a Spellbinders die for the frame and the bells are from Card Making Magic (Craftstash). MY BOOKS AT AMAZON / BARNES & NOBLE Have a great day!! There is also a new video on YouTube! ...

Tattered Tags

I love the tattered edges of Daisy Mae Tags. I used stamps from Craft Consortium and Studio Light. MY ETSY SHOP MY BOOKS I used Inktense pencils to color the images. I love the precision of colored pencils with the ability to then treat them like watercolor. Inkense pencils are ink, so once activated, they will stay put once dry. I hope your week is starting off well! ... View the Post

Ornate Christmas Card

This was going to be something else. :) In the end I was able to save the card. There is a video about it on my YouTube channel. I'm using an older Spellbinders die of the month and a Sizzix 3D Impresslit for the bauble. The papers are Craft Consortium's Noel. I'm trying to do more with the insides of my cards. MY ETSY SHOP MY BOOKS I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! There is so much for which to be grateful! ... View the Post
