Joy to the world

I can't seem to stop creating cards with a distressed look with muted and non traditional (christmas red and green colors)!!! Oh well, I'm having fun!  I got my inspiration for this card from some magazines, where they had cream cards that were distressed and then crystal glitter added over that. The panel that the outside greeting is on was cut from Spellbinders labels 8. The holly paper is from a little pad by cosmo cricket. The ivory paper is bazzil bling. I added antique linen distress ink around the edges of all the paper layers. The snowflakes are also Spellbinders dies from the set Create a flake. The word joy is from thickers letter stickers.I added K&Company baubles to the centers and used glossy accents to adhere crystal chunky glitter to the snowflakes and edges of the light blue panel (a basic grey scrap piece from a pad). The binder edge was created with an ek success punch.The inside stamps are from a clear stamp set by papertrey. The words "to the world" are from a making memories alphabet sticker set. If you have any questions, never hestitate to email me! Thanks for looking!

baby shower invites

Here's what my custom invites look like that I did for a co- worker. My first custom order!!The dotted paper is from a paper pad by SEI and the whale is a martha stewart punch. The circles were created with spellbinders nestabilities dies, and the embossed white portion was made with the argyle cuttlebug embossing folder. I sponged pink ink around the circle. The pink papers are bazzill bling cardstock. You can't really see it, but I added crystal stickles (glitter glue) around the whale cut out. The greeting words are a stamp from a clear set by martha stewart crafts. Hope the people getting them enjoy them as much as did creating them!  You may ask, why the whale for a baby girl card, well the baby's parents are big ocean/scuba/sealife lovers and are decorating the babys room in baby sea animals, so  thought this fit them nicely!  If anyone wants to know more details about my cards, please send me a message!  Have a great one!

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!
