December 25th Wreath Card-Video

Hello blogger buddies.

This card has several layers, and a simple wreath cut from the December 25th Christmas Cartridge. This video has several bloopers. The blooper where the entire tip of my glue bottle comes off keeps cracking me up.   You know how I love foam tape.  Well I felt like the tape was going to swallow me up.  It was sticking to everything.  I think I need to learn how to edit. LOL Enjoy the video.

A Quilted Christmas Shape Card #4

Hello Blogger Buddies,
I have one more shape card to share with you, and I thought I would end it with Baby Jesus in the Manger.  I made a few changes to the original design, and added more cuts of hay.  I think I may add some larger hay cuts for a more layered look.  Sorry for the goof-up on adding my layers.  I don't do any editing so you really get to see when I don't get it just right.  Enjoy!

Marbling technique With Acetate-VIDEO

Hello everyone,
Today I want to share a technique I used on this Anniversary card for a unique background.  When you watch the video, notice that behind the acetate on my card, I stamped an image on my background paper underneath the acetate.  You can stamp an image directly onto the acetate, but you would have to use a stazon ink.  If you stamp directly on to the card stock, you can use just about any type of ink pad with your stamps.  Always lay the acetate with the inked side down.  This way you have a very smooth top sheet.  The way I attatched the acetate pieces is with my ATG.  I was able to add the adhesive to areas that would be covered by another piece of card stock or embellishment. 
Thank you all sooooo much for visiting, and for taking the time to leave me comments, and your suggestions.

This card can be created by using spellbinder dies, but wait........I also have an alternative way to create a similar design using your cricut.  I hope this gives you additional ideals on how to substitute items that you already have, to create some of my other projects by using just a few small changes or substitutes.  Thank you for visiting me today.

Beaver Kleber Thank You Card

Hello everyone!  The card I would like to share with you today, is a thank you card.  A friend of mine is a woodworker, and makes beautiful things with exotic woods.  Well I was fortunate enough to get one of his lovely handcrafted bracelets.  So I decided on this image from Campin' Critters.  It is so funny because his last name is Kleber, and the beaver was just so perfect for this wood craftsmen.
I cut the trees from page 64 at 4".  The beaver is on page 27, and he was cut at 3-1/2".  My card base is 6" x 7-1/2.  The sentiment is computer generate, and you can find info in how to do this on my side bar under "How to".  Thanks to all who visit, and to those who take the time to leave me comments, and suggestions.
