Tis The Season To Be Jolly!!

Happy Monday, everyone!! I want to thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes - I appreciate it so much!! It's my turn to post on the My Craft Spot blog and I have a few quick Christmas cards to share with you today :)

These cards are small...they measure 2 3/4 x 3 3/4...perfect to tuck inside a gift bag or stocking. The papers are all from The Paper Studio. The cards were all created with a Technique Tuesday Magic Circle Card die. For this card, I used the 'Tis The Season...' sentiment from the O Holy Night stamp set. The top layer was popped up with foam tape for dimension.

'O Christmas Tree' is also from the O Holy Night stamp set, and it was heat embossed with black embossing powder.

'Noel' is from the Tiny Tags Christmas set. It was heat embossed in gold embossing powder. These were quick and easy to mass produce and are flat enough to mail...though I did add a bit of dimension on all three cards :)

Noel!!

Happy Saturday!! Did you venture out for Black Friday sales?? I did lots of shopping...all from the warm and comfy confines of home :) What would I do without online shopping??!! It's my turn to post at My Craft Spot and I have some Christmas cards to share with you today :)

I have been having so much fun playing with my early Christmas present (Cricut Explore). I absolutely love the Noel SVG file from SVG Cut Files.com by My Craft Spot and I couldn't wait to use it. I created three Christmas cards using this file and several other MCS products. All of the papers are from The Paper Studio.

I started by cutting out the file in the base paper and then adhering a different paper behind to show through. 'Noel' was cut three more times - once in black for a shadow, once in white and once more in patterned papers. The layers were adhered with foam tape for dimension. The 'N' and 'L' were given an extra layer of foam tape for even more dimension. It was then inserted in the hole created in the base paper. Scarlet Red Crinkle Ribbon was added to this card, along with a Tiny Tags die. The sentiment is from Tiny Tags Christmas and the button was tied with Natural Jute String.

This card was created the same way, using Vanilla Bean Crinkle Ribbon and Sage Jute String.

Snow White Crinkle Ribbon was used for this card and Natural Jute String.

A sentiment from Christmas Chalkboard was stamped on the inside of each of the cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! I hope you have a wonderful last weekend of November :)

My Craft Spot Challenge #157 - Sequins

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot!! This week, the challenge is to use sequins...how fun!! I just love using sequins on projects :)

For this card, the patterned paper is from The Paper Studio. The white paper is heavy weight cardstock from TPS, embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The holes were cut with My Craft Spot Tiny Doily Dies, which were also used to frame the holes.

All three sentiments are from MCS's Tiny Tags Christmas stamp set. The holes were filled with MCS Snow Flurries sequins, a touch of glitter and a bit of silver glass beads.

Snowflakes were cut from the MCS Small Alphabet set and covered with Sugar Coating. They were adhered randomly, along with more Snow Flurries sequins. The ribbon is MCS Scarlet Red Crinkle Ribbon.
