A Framed Christmas Card

I confess that Yuletide was not a favorite Christmas paper. However, I do like the way it looks with the basic paper fundamentals.

Recipe:
Paper: Paper Fundamentals - Basic, Yuletide, Colonial White CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Framed (CTMH)
Inks: Cranberry, New England Ivy (CTMH)
Tools: Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Green Ribbon (American Crafts), Foam Tape, Glue Dot (CTMH)

I may use this pattern again but with different paper for this year's Christmas cards. It was easy to create.

Have a happy, crafty day!

A Framed Best Wishes Card

Today, I have another "Framed" card to share with you. This one works well for any congratulatory occasion. 

Recipe:

Paper: Chalk It Up, Sorbet CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)

Stamp: Framed (CTMH)

Inks: Lagoon, Black (CTMH)

Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)

Other: Foam Tape, Black Twill Ribbon (CTMH), Brads (Hobby Lobby)

I made this card with "back to school" in mind. It would be great for teachers or other school staff members. 

Can you believe summer is nearly over? I don't know where the time goes, but it always flies by. Have a terrific day.

A Framed Note Card

I had an incredible weekend. It's not often that I feel spoiled, but this was definitely one of those weekends. My husband took me on our first date night in probably a year. We went out to dinner and then followed it up with movies. We saw "Vacation". Cute, hilarious movie, and all of my giggling attested to the fact that I don't get out much (sorry movie-goers). LOL

Yesterday, we went back to town and did some bicycle shopping. I haven't been on a bike in at least 18 years. I am a wobbler, and I ache all over. My new bike needs a sign for drive by at your own risk. ;)

Here is my next card made with the current stamp of the month "Framed".

Recipe:

Paper: Chalk It Up, Paper Fundamentals - Basic, Colonial White CS (CTMH)

Stamp: Framed (CTMH)

Inks: Sorbet, Lagoon (CTMH)

Tools: Needle, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)

Other: Glitter Buttons (retired), Foam Tape, Embroidery Floss (CTMH)

This card illustrates a great way to use up those scraps. Sometimes, you just need a basic note card, so I chose that direction for this card. These papers will be retiring very soon. You can visit the "Shop With Me" link to the right of this post, if you are interested in purchasing your own crafting supplies.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you have a Happy Monday!

A Framed Thank You Card

Good morning. I am so excited to be back in blog-land today with my latest creation. It also stars my NEW CAMERA. 

Recipe:
Paper: Basic Paper Fundamentals, Chalk It Up, Scaredy Cat, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Framed (CTMH)
Inks: Lagoon, Black (CTMH)
Tools: Circle Stax Die (MFT), Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Foam Tape, Black Twill Ribbon (CTMH)

I'm so excited about my new camera. It is a Canon Rebel t5, otherwise known as a digital SLR. I have wanted one for so long and a good friend recommended it to me. Out of the box, I was a little nervous to use it. Finally, I decided the best way to learn was to just start snapping pictures. I didn't do anything special with the lighting and only did a general auto edit to this photo. I can't believe how clear it is. 

LOL Okay, well you probably didn't come here to talk camera with me. I love our paper fundamentals line. It is clear embossed on one side and the pattern on the flip side of this paper is white and desert sand pattern. I like how the neutrals really make the colors pop. 

Hope you like. I can't wait to share my other cards with you that I've made recently. It's so good to be crafty again.
