Christmas Cards - 5

Santa

I love this Santa. There is so much you can do with him. I did this on the Gypsy so that I could weld the two shadow pieces together to form the card base.



Recipe:
Weld 2 shadow santa heads from the Doodlecharms cart at 4.95"
All pieces cut at 4.95"
Black Brads for the eyes
D'Vine Swirl cuttlebug folder for the beard and mustache
chalk to rosey up his cheeks.

Thanks for looking.

Face stamp - Peachykeen stamps

Candy Corn Halloween Cards

This is another scraplift from the Nothin' Fancy blog (she has some really GREAT ideas).

I had to cut the entire candy corn in each color, trim them, chalk them, I then added some faux stitching (which I'm not very good at), and then stamped them with the cute little Peachy Keen Stamps. The wording I created in WORD.




Recipe:
A2 Card
Candy corns - cut at 9" (with all the other candies hidden on the Gypsy)

Pumpkin Card

I totally scraplifted this card from
The Cutting Cafe (http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com) and
Kreative Korner By Kelly (http://kreativekornerbykelly.blogspot.com/).
When I saw this card I just had to make one. It is so adorable.

So, here is my version of it (of course created on the Gypsy):



Recipe:
Pumpkin - Mini Monsters - cut at 3.75" x 6" (real dial size)
Stem - Mini Monsters - cut a 2.89" x 5.9"
Spiders - Doodlecharms - cut at 1.47" x 1.10"
