Tree Card

Happy Holidays to y'all!

Today I have a card to show you.

Yes another Christmas card, well it is the season

isn't it?  This is a card that was an experiment.

I was trying to decide what card style to use

for our cards and this was one that I thought about.

I did decided against it, but I do like it.

I cut the trees with Sizzix dies and covered 

them with clear Wink of Stella.

I glued on the sequins with 

Ranger Multi Medium Matte

I cut and scored a 11"x 4.25"piece of card stock

 to make a 5.5" x 4.25" card.

I then cut a section out of the bottom part 

of the card leaving an open space of about 

1.5"

I adhered the trees to the top and bottom pieces

of the front of the card.

I liked this card, but it didn't make the cut for

our card this year.

Inside I stamped the greeting near the top of the 

card leaving room to sign at the bottom and not have 

it show through the space in the front of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out what I'm up to.

I hope your holiday prep is going well.

Be happy!

Give Thanks

Hello!

I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Today I have a Thanksgiving card to show you.

The other day I was trying something new that didn't

work out for me and I had a few of these pumpkins,

so I decided to make a Thanksgiving card with one 

of them.  This is what I came up with.

I cut the pumpkin and the vine/leaf 

from some paper that I had in my stash

using a die and the Cuttlebug.

I used a bit of Distress Ink to tone down

the orange and white of the pumpkin

and give the leaf etc. a little variation,

then I glued the pieces together.

The striped panel is a scrap I had in my stash.

The "Give Thanks" is part of the 

Give Thanks stamp

(#34109) from Biblical Impressions

The entire stamp reads

"Give Thanks

to the Lord"

I masked off the part that I didn't

want to stamp before I inked up the stamp, 

removed the mask and then stamped directly onto

the card with 

Color Box Fluid Chalk Ink

The card needed a little something more,

so I added some bronze colors sequins

using Ranger Multi Medium Matte adhesive.

I left the inside of this card blank for the time being.

I may stamp a Thanksgiving message or write 

a personal note when I use this card.

I'm glad you stopped in today.

Come again soon,

you never know what you'll find on

Kristie Kreates.
