brocade christmas

















Another Christmas card, really wanted to use this green brocade paper on a christmas card, even though it's not really "christmas paper". I embossed the message in platinum metallic embossing power. The green pine branches were done by a Martha Stewart puncch. The poinsettia is from prima. Thanks for everyone who follows my blog, I was so excited to see I had new followers after Mo posted the shaker card on her site! I Hope to inspire and educate you! If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me at: jenmac82005@aol.com anytime! I check my email several times a day via phone and at home too. Thanks for reading!

Snowman shaker card



My first shaker card! I have to say it was easier than I thought it would be! Thanks to the tutorial I found on splitcoast stampers for making shaker cards!! The snowman image is a digi stamp, drawn by my talented cousin, Mo. You can find it here. I colored the snowman in with Copic Markers. The dp is from a paper pad I got last year by MME. I cut the scalloped frame using spellbinders nestabilities dies: scalloped circle and regular circle. The label that the greeting is on is also a spellbinders die
(the middle size one from Labels trio). The greeting is a stamp from a set by Papertrey ink. Inside the shaker card are tiny micro beads and irridescent glitter. You can find the tutorial I found here. Thanks for looking!

cc designs birdie holiday hello

I made this card using a digi image from c.c. designs. Isn't this little birdie cute?! The circle sentiment is from Stampin up's circle of friendship set. I added embossed snow and dots on this card in silver (might be hard to see) I used labels 9 spellbinders nestabilities- the largest shape for the panel the bird is on. The large scallop border was created with a border punch by eksuccess that I got at Michaels. Please send me a message if you have any questions! Thanks!

Singin so beautiful


Another card I made with one of my cous' digi stamps. This digi stamp was created by Maurie Manning (Name is link to her site). This stamp is called singin so beautiful. I was trying to give this card a sort of old fashioned christmas feel. I colored everything in with copic markers, except the gray areas(since I don't yet have grey copics, and do have a grey prismacolor marker!) Feel free to message me if you have any questions! Have a great day!
Jen

p.s. the inside will say "......... a meowy christmas!"

ornamental christmas

I made this card using a notecard from a $1 pack I found at Michaels(see pic on right), I just cut out the ornament and embellished it. I stamped swirls with versamark and embossed in gold tinsel to make the background paper coordinate with the ornament. The panel the greeting is on is just white CS that I stamped and embossed the greeting on, then I used my scor-pal to make embossed edges. I smudged gold ink all around it, and then used a gold gel pen to make the dots all around the edge, and embellished the corners with a little bling!
Hope you like! Thanks for reading!
