Christmas: View from the Window

 Such a fun card to make a Christmas scene.  I used the Swirly Bird, Grand Madison Window, and the Windowsill Candles dies.  

Christmas: Deck the Hall and Trim the Tree

 

This is the card I sent out this year.  Lots of detail, yet still a clean and simple design!

Money Holder with Moose Belly Band

The card stock base is 8 1/4" x 7"  scored on the 8 1/4 side at 3" and 6".  Using the Envelope Punch Board, along the 8 1/4 side, with the score lines horizontally, line up the left side of the paper and 3 1/2" and punch.  Then put the right edge of the paper to the edge of the punch board and punch.  With a paper trimmer, cut off the edge of the file and leave the tab.  

Then glue or sticky tape the two sections together, leaving the tab on the top and a pocket for the money.  The DSP will be 6 3/8" x 2 1/4" for the front and 6 3/8" x 1" for the inside.  The belly band is 6 3/8" x 3/4", scored at 2 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

Decorate as you would like.  I used the moose punch to put on the belly band.  The stamp is from the set Merriest Wishes.

 

 

Christmas: Poinsettia with Verse

 

The stamp is from Paper Inspirations. The colors are Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana. The poinsettia were die cut.

Calendar: 2022 Easel

Calendars for 2020.  The calendars are from Taylored Expressions.  
The base of the calendar is 11 by 4 1/4. It is scored at 4", 8", 9", and 10".  

Birthday: Enjoy Today with Alcohol Inks

  

Happy birthday, Aaron!  I just received the set Inspirational Cutting Dies from Patelai.  A fun set of dies to complement the alcohol ink background.  

Notice the round circles in the background.  Those are made with my scoring tool; they create a wonderful change in the design.  Gems in the corner complete the balance.
