The latest...

I've been having some fun making Fall and Christmas cards lately... figured I might as well get started on them since I always have trouble finishing them up in time.  The first one is a freestanding pop-up card.  I found the tutorial for this here.

I love that it folds flat for mailing and fits in a regular card envelope.  Yet once opened, it makes such a statement!  

 This one I cased from the new Stampin' Up Holiday catalog.  I just cut out the wreath form that came with my Silhouette Studio software in two sizes and found a fun font to cut out "Joy" in metallic gold paper.  I used a wood-grained embossing folder for the white banner and some Christmas themed paper for the red banner and background paper.

 For this card, I found my inspiration here.  I used my Fiskar's Cloud punch to make the ice cream scoops, freehand cut the cone and printed the sentiment out on my printer.

 This next one is a fun new idea I tried after receiving one similar to it (baby themed) and making a template from it.  I'll call it a pocket card, and it's really quite easy once you figure out the measurements.   I love that it can go for any theme as well.

Here it is with the tag removed.  I love the double-sided Christmas paper I got last year.  The poinsettia sticker was an easy decoration for the front of the pocket.  

Here it is with a different Christmas paper and stamp.

Here's a side-step card I created for a birthday.  I found my inspiration here.

 This fall card has a sort of rustic feel.  I got my inspiration here for this one and the next card too.

For this one, I got my inspiration here.  I used the cloud punch again for the cupcake.  Love that it's so versatile.

 Thanks for stopping by!
