Ornaments - The Cutting Cafe

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share a project that I completed for the design team over at The Cutting Cafe.  This weeks challenge was to use the Christmas Ornament Fun file.  This is a really fun file that can be used for soo many different things.

I used some colored copy paper as well as the Sweet Dreams Holiday Avenue stack by My Minds Eye.  Added some stickles, large eyelets, jingle bell, ribbon, flat backed pearls, a couple of flowers and a stamped sentiment.  I think these turned out oh soo cute!!!

Pics and video are below.  Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think!

Christmas 3x3 Note Card swap w/Scrapdaworld

Hi Everyone!

Today I want to share with you all some cards that I made for a swap hosted by Tmika, who is Scrapdaworld on YouTube.  We had to make 5 cards to send out.  The cards had to be 3x3 with at least 2 embellishments.  We also had to make, or buy, envelopes for the cards.

I used The Ballet stack by DCWV and a stamp from Miss Anya Hats Off collection.  I really LOVE how these cards turned out.  I also made an envelope that had a gusset of 1/2 an inch since the card is dimensional. 

Pics and video are below.  Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think.
