Christmas In July #Two

 

This year seems to be going extra fast! It's almost the middle of July already. I've been looking around the net and I'm not the only one thinking about Christmas. It's kind of fun to work on Christmas cards this early. I hope you all feel the same. Just think if you start now you won't have to be in such a rush come December. I had this Bo Bunny paper stuck in a drawer and it was just calling out to be combined together. I usually stick with the standard red and green but wanted something different and this is what I came up with.

Supplies: 

Paper:    Bo Bunny a Gift of Love

Tools:    Spellbinders 2010 Heritage Ornament, Scalloped Ovals, Regular

              Ovals and Labels 4.  MFT Die-Namics Dizzy Border.
Ribbon: Hand dyed seam binding.
Sentiment:  An old one that no longer has it package, sorry.

I wanted a smaller ornament for the backing than the next size up in the set so I just hand cut with an exacto knife around the outside of the ornament I used for the ornament itself. Hope that makes sense to you, it's kind of hard to explain.

Celebrate Your Day

Today's card: Celebrate Your Day

 

This is just a quick little card using up things I had on hand. My wonderful hubby made me a peg bow maker and it works like a charm, kind of like a third hand.  For those of you that do not have one of those, the BowEasy will work just as well, it's just a bit more difficult.  This was the first time I tried to make a circle with a string of sticky back pearls.  Using the edges of the scallops it was not too difficult.  I used my favorite Dizzy Doily by MFT Die-namics again! I promise to use something else for my next card. The sentiment scalloped circle is from Spellbinders.  The netted flowers are available locally at School Adventures as are the Dizzy Doily. BowEasy and Spellbinders. Stamp sentiment by Papertrey Ink.

Just For You

This is the my challenge card for MFT Getting Sketchy #24.

I have been trying to use up some of mountains of paper that I seem to have acquired. You know how it is, see it, gotta have it, put it away, forget it..... well this card evolved out of some black and cream paper that I have no idea when or where I got it. Actually I most likely got it from School Adventures (my LSBS).  Anyway it really makes me feel good to use up some of what I have.

The doily is my favorite MFT (My Favorite Things) Dizzy Doily. Spellbinders Labels 20 is the center tag. An EK Success border punch was used for the scallops and circles border. The flower is another of the Satin Roses that I made using several sizes of circles and burning the edge.  

Have a super day!
