Simple and Cute Christmas Card

Hi! Let the Christmas Season begin for Christmas cardmaking! (I will still bring you a couple of Halloween cards I'm still making but....I'm in the mood for Christmas!)

Today's card is a fun little festive card (and my FIRST for the 2013 season!) I am overjoyed because last year I never seemed to be able to really get in the mood. I don't know why so I'm going to enjoy this year for sure!

I made this card using Frantic Stamper Christmas dies. The Merry Christmas word die looks superb using this red glossy card stock. I also used the tree broder but I used it at the top and then added some patterned paper from Bo Bunny. Fran also has a die with two sizes of Holly and a separate cluster of three berries.

Thanks for stopping by!

Drink from the Cup.... a Halloween Card

Hi everyone! Yup, I'm still here! I'jut gotten over yet another bad cold. (And yes I got my flu shot as soon as I was well enough.) This year has really been tough for colds and viruses. Wow! I hope that you are all well!
Today's card is a quick little Halloween card using some of my new favorite dies from Frantic Stamper. I love this little cup. It is actually a set and comes with a wine bottle but I thought it would make a nice Halloween cup too.
I die cut the cup from black card stock and then again from red ripple holographic card stock. (Frantic stamper also carries this. It comes from Hot off the Press and its my new love!)
I cut out the center of the cup and the top with an xacto knife and then layered the red behind it. I cut the red stem and base off because it made it easier to glue it all together (less to line up you know). I added green Dazzles for the "bubbles". Any kind of scary background Halloween paper can be used for the card background.
Thanks for stopping by!
