Wrapping Up Christmas and Sentiment ( Nov-1 )

Hi everyone and welcome back.  Is everyone getting ready for Christmas and getting your Christmas cards ready and done ?  Well today I am doing a Christmas card with Wrapping up Christmas and Sentiment ( Do not open until Christmas ) from A & M Memories.   I want to let everyone know right of the bat that I try to use all my equipment when making anything.  I hate more then anything purchasing equipment and not putting them use.  So today with my card I am using the Digi Wraping up Christmas and sentiment along with my Cricut Air explore 2.  If you have the Cricut you will just need to upload the file into the Cricut and print and cut.  I do think that it is easier to color the image then cut.

A & M Memories


This is the Print and Cut image from the Cricut.


This is after the images are cut with the Cricut, remember it is easier to color the image before you cut it.


I usually use alcohol markers, I am trying to move to colored pencils and it take practice for sure.  For this card I used Prismacolor pencils.


This is a piece of velvet card stock that I received in a sample pack of papers that I picked up a couple of years ago.

This star burst paper was in a sample package as well. ( sorry I do not have more info on how to get this paper )

I took a piece of Velvet green paper and  fold in have and cut down one side to form a point this is the background Christmas tree.

I then took the red star burst paper and cut a 3 x 3 square for the bottom of the tree.


I then put gems on the tree with a star on top and added the Wrapping up Christmas and Sentiment.


As always thank you for stopping by and if you have any questions please let and I will get right back to you.  Happy Crafting and have a Great and Safe Thanksgiving.

"Hebrews" Coffee Card ( Skipping Stones Design ) Oct 16th Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Skipping Stones Design's October blog hop.  For my card I have decided to use the Coffee stamp #2 .  I colored the coffee cup with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers .  This is a Digi stamp so after printing I did wait 24hr before coloring with the Alcohol markers to make sure the ink is completely dry, so I do not have any mixing of the printer ink with the alcohol marker colors.  I had a great time creating this card.  Please scroll down for pictures, supplies (  link's ),  a how toooooo, and a tutorial at the end.  Make sure you visit the links below to see other cards made by Skipping Stones Design Team.  Please make sure to leave a comments on everyones creations, let them know how much you like the designs they have created.

Working with the Gemini Apple Core Dies

Tips for sewing Apple Core Shapes.....  This will go on Sale on HSN January 24th., they will go fast make sure you get yours. 1st you will have one that will go sideways which is the Con-Caved Core and you will have one the will be long ways.   You always want the con-caved Apple Core on top when sewing together.   So my Con-caved apple core is the red strips, fold in half  and press a seam.  The yellow one fold in half long ways and press. Put right sides together and place the pressed seam on top one an other and pin.  This is very important to sew straight. Now match up and pin both outside corners.  The fabric will be buckled like the picture and that is fine.   It should look like this when taking to the sewing machine.  Below is a little video on sewing Apple Core Shapes.
