Wyatt's 1st Christmas

I said I was finished with my Christmas cards, but I left one important card to make - my grandson's 1st Christmas card.

Lori Whitlock's shadow box came together very nicely.  It will fold flat to fit a 5x7 envelop with just one stamp.  However, you can resize it.  Santa Tree Shadow Box card is on sale for $1 at the Silhouette Store till December 5.  (Lori provides a video tutorial on You Tube.)

5x7, I added red accent paper on both sides of box

front view...kept it CAS....only added "Wyatt's 1st Christmas"

O Holy Night

First time in history I sent my Christmas cards out early. I made 4 different style Christmas cards for family and friends....this is the main one.  I made 12.  My prototype was sent to someone by accident.  If you got it, forgive the mistake....haha

I bought this Pop Up Box Wisemen from Lori Whitlock at her store, but you can also purchase through the Silhouette Store.  I used gold foil paper behind the words, and pop-ups behind city and wisemen for dimension.  I reduced it down to a 5.25x5.25 to fit in my 5.5 square envelopes.  The dark blue paper had bazzill texture.

I don't know why it is showing weird shadows under the wisemen

You can't tell, but star is on separate hanger. Offers lots of dimension.
Wink of Stella on Star

Added pocket on back for note and they can re-use the card

Hang in There

My first purchase from Imagine That by Digistamps.  The set is called Airplanes and is on sale.  I was inspired by Donna at Indiana Ink and plan to case her card, but for this particular one I made a box card for my cousin-in-law who has just started treatment again for breast cancer.  I'm trying to keep the cards a little silly, fun and upbeat.

The box card is from Lori through the Silhouette Store, stitched clouds and sun are from Lil Inker.  I'm entering several challenges listed below the pictures.

Bunny Belly Box - Spring (2nd post today)

So many challenges....so little time...so I have to double post some days!

Cut It Up Challenge #67 is under way.  Theme:  Spring: Anything BUT A CARD!  I bought Bunny Belly Box #75114 (Lori Whitlock) at the Silhouette Store on sale for $.50...couldn't be more pleased and it came together so fast. I think a bunny says Spring...don't you think!

The hair bow is purple.  Purple and white are my hardest colors to photograph.  Do you have a color that is hard to photograph?

google eyes instead of black circles, pop-ups for nose and feet, grey distressing on edge of bunny

decided to add a smile, but drew it in pink "after" I took picture...oops
