And the last card of the series is this Christmas card, where I embossed the background of the card, on the cream colored card I added a little glitter to the embossed background.  Then I cut out 1" squares from some patterned paper, and glued those to the front of the card.  On the solid pieces I added Holiday/Christmas sentiments, embossing the "Merry Christmas."  And finished off by rounding the corners.
I hope you all enjoyed my first Christmas Card Series and were able to come up with some cards of your own.  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!

This card was really easy and straight to the point.  Again, cream and kraft paper were used.  I thin selected a piece of cardstock form the My Minds Eye Lost and Found Paper pack and used border punches on each and then added some Christmas chipboard to the center and finish out he card by rounding out the corners on the kraft card only.

"Be Merry & Bright!"  Talk about a quick and simple card.  Here  I stamped the image of the Christmas Trees on a blue piece of scrap cardstock.  Next, I inked the edges with white ink.  I think this effect give the card a snow like effect - like the wind is blowing the snow around the trees...and some glitter glue for that star above one of the trees.  I used dimensional adhesive to place the stamped image unto a red piece of cardstock.  After that, I thought it would be great to add some strips of patterned paper to the left of the Christmas Trees.  Next I added the Christmas sentiments and finished the card off with some faux stitching and rounding of the right upper and lower corners.

This card was very different for me, as it forced me out of my normal comfort zone.  I first started with an 8.5x11 sheet of kraft colored chipboard.  I then cut the chipboard into a triangle shape, followed by placing double sided adhesive one one side.  Next, I pealed of the backing of the double sided adhesive and then placed scrap pieces of ribbon that I had on hand.  After that, I set my "Christmas tree aside to cut out some scrap paper that I had on hand (the blue and red scalloped paper behind the tree)...I think I got this paper last year or back in 2009...But anyway, I cut the decorative cardstock the width of my card front, used my scalloped punch and then glued it to the front of the card.  After that I took a kraft piece of paper to do my trunk of the tree...I cut out a half inch rectangle and glued it to the back of my makeshift Christmas Tree, then glued the entire tree to the front of the card.  Next I added my stamps...a star for the top of the tree, the presents under the tree and the sentiment on the front of the tree "be merry."  And that was it.  I think my favorite part are the presents under the tree....:)  Happy Holidays Everyone.

I had a great time making this card with this cute penguin stamp.  The stamp I purchased last year, and just knew I would have to make a card using the cute trio.  Again, this was another simple card.  I picked one piece of 6x6 double sided card stock from the Lost & Found Union Square Paper Pack as the back  ground and I also used it as the cardstock for the greeting.  I used white cardstock the stamp emboss the image of the penguins.  Once the image was embossed, I added a little of color using Copic Marker.  Like the Card from Day 1 of the Holiday Card Series I used the same type of cardstock as well as the same size card.

With this first card in the series, I wanted to focus on a single layered card.  Each card in this series, I decided to do one in Kraft and the other in Cream.  Also all the cards measure out to 4.25in x 5.5in.  This card was fairly easy to make and didn't take much time at all. 

First I took my light bulb stamp and stamped all over the top of the card.  After doing that I hand drew the wire connecting the "string" of lights.  Afterwards I stamped the greeting in the lower center of the card.  Next I picked 4 Copic Markers that I thought would be fun to work with.  I finished off the card my rounding the bottom corners for a more softer look.

Hello Everyone!!!!!
I'm back.  I've been out for the past few months - I've just been extremely busy trying to adjust to my new life with two little ones.  Now that things are FINALLY back in order, it's time for me to get back to work on my blog and getting  some scrapbooking and cards created!  In the new year I will be making a few changes here on the blog, but have no fear, I think these updates will be good and will only enhance my blog.  I've been doing this whole blog thing for a little over a year now and I now have a better idea of what I want to put out and get out of this whole experience. 
So with that being said, starting tomorrow, over the next six days, I will be having my very first Holiday Card Series.  The cards I will be creating will pertain to the following techniques:
Single Layer Card
Copic Markers and Border Trims
Ribbons
Inked Edges
Chipboard Embellishments
Background Stamping
I look forward to sharing my holiday cards with you over the next six days.  I hope you will stop by everyday and leave a comment letting me know what you think of the cards.
