Christmas ornament card

In every year around the Christmas time we have in our local Community Center a Christmas party to our older citizens. I decided to make them a little card to remember the event. I wanted to be something different then usual card so I did an ornament card. On one side it have a cute Christmas Mouse by Elizabeth O.Dulemba and on other side a little poem and date. 

I really wish that I'd have a die cut machine :) To cut out 120 circles with scissors... And seems that I have to make some more cards. Organisers think that there are 60 participants but just in case it is better to have some extra card then someone don't get it. 

The front and the back side of the cards are put together with foam tape. I cut narrow strips of tape and put it along the side so the golden string can be placed between two cards and around the side. The floral swirls are printed on the paper I added some clue and sprinkled it with glitter. The tinker on the mouse hat is covered with Ranger Glossy Accents. One sad thing happened that I couldn't count before making the cards. I put on the edges of the hat and the coat a white Enamel accents by Ranger but it run out before all the cards was done :( Now some cards have it and other are without. It is sad but I hope to get it more before the party :) On the photo has only some of the cards

Shabby Box

I bought some butterfly and flower stamps and wanted to try them out. It was the same day then I also bought a tape dispenser. It came on heavy cardboard box and I thought I may use the box for something else :o) 'Cause the box opened on the top I took it apart and made it to open on the side. I mean if it stand like following pictures it opens on top now. I thought to pimp it up with my new My Paper World "Flowers and Butterflies" stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Broken China, My Paper World Paper-Soft-Color Lime Green, Nerchau 3D Glitter Liner and some green ribbon.  I have no idea for what I'll use the box. I just wanted to make it. I may too another which don't look so shabby :o)

B-Day Hat - easel card

I love making card then I know to whom it will go :o) This card went to my brother god-father. He turned 70, God-father, not my brother :o) He is a jolly man and by looking at him I wouldn't say he's 70.

With this card I went to my usual card making style: no expensive and fancy card making stuff, no punches, no stamps and inks, no design papers, just my loyal computer and scissors. Well, ok, I did use a 3D glitter liner and one brad :o) Papers are designed by me and the hat image is copied in Internet and altered a bit.

The card is made by the sketch from Hanna and Friends Challenge #118

Christmas card

One more Christmas card with a bird :o) I think I miss summer so much that I'll put birds on Christmas cards and for this card some flowers too :o)

The bird image is a Free Printable from Beccy's Place. She is so talented and she shares her lovely works with all of us. Thank you, Beccy! The design paper is from Cart-Us Christmas Specialty Paper Pad and for white and dark green paper I used a Viva Decor Silicone Stamp "Letters and Embellishments"  and Dovecraft Forest green  and Pretty Color white pigment inks. Flower are punched with DP Craft lever punch Daisy 2,5 cm and 1,5 cm. For leafs I used DP Craft 1,5 leaf punch.Gems are from Dovecraft Christmas Back to Basics collection. To add glitter I used atyouSpica Twinkling like stars! felt pens, Ranger Glossy Accents and Nerchau 3D Glitter Liner (the glitter isn't well captured on the photo). White stiches are made with white Pergamano Gel Pen. The background paper is metallic light green paper which is run through DP Craft embossing tool. And that's it :o)
