LUIGI WISHES EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

These cards were made for the Dog Groomer Amanda and for our wonderful Postman Jeff.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, love Luigi!

These cards were hand stamped and hand watercolored. There are some highlights with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and Crystal Effects.

This is a layered card white on white which is not as easy to tell in the photo but makes a very nice card style. Click on either card to see more detail.

MORE HAND CRAFTED CHRISTMAS GOODIES SU!

I hand crafted all of these Christmas Goodies for my Small Christian Community Group of Women at Church and for my coworkers.  All loved the pinecone tag. I hand crafted each of those pinecones using a die by Tim Holtz. Everything else is SU!  Including the Tag and Lacy Embellishment from HERE'S TO CHEERS BUNDLE which is a must have SU! framelit and stamp set. The designer paper that I wrapped all of the jars of jam in is unfortunately sold out. It was a fabulous SU! DSP set.

 I placed each jar in a cello bag and added my favorite puffy peppermints to the bag.

PLAYING SECRET SANTA AT WORK SU! STYLE

I had so much fun playing Secret Santa at work this past year as I do every year.  I have to be careful with too much creativity because most people realize it's me when there is something handcrafted involved.  I'm not too concerned about that but it is nice to have an element of surprise.  I am so blessed that God gifted me that talent that I love to share it. This year, Secret Santa wanted a gift card.  I placed the card I made below in a SU! cello bag, added chapstick that she wanted and some Ghiradelli Peppermint cocoa that she can share with her brand new fiancé on Christmas Eve. 

Here's the card I created and I used the SU! Gift Card framelit to die cut the envelope for the gift card.  I used Pretty Pines and Santa Sleigh thinlits by SU! and some rhinestones for swirl!

I die cut the name with my CRICUT and added that name to every gift that I gave. Of course, you know me, nothing gets done without SU! DAZZLING DIAMONDS glitter at the holidays.  I also die cut the bow with the SU! bowmaker die using a fine gold glimmer paper. This gift really sparkled.

These Peppermint Hot Cocoa's by Ghiradelli only come out at Christmastime.

 

HAPPY BOXING DAY! ANOTHER SU! PRETTY PINES CHRISTMAS CARD

Let the Joy of Christmas remain in your heart always!

POP UP CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR FAMILY!

I  'purchased an ANNA GRIFFIN pop up card making kit a year or so ago for the HOLIDAYS and hadn't made the cards in the kit yet. So, this year, I thought I would create a few for immediate family members and see how long they take to make. Actually, not that long, and so next year I may create the rest of the kit which has everything included to complete the cards inside. There must be enough to create at least 50 if not more cards.  I had a personalized stamp made for Christmas from SU! so I used that on the card since our entire family was included on the stamp.
