Cards for Grandma

I wanted to create some cards for my grandma to send to her friends. I have had this Rudolph stamp for a while and never used it. I dont know why it took me so long to use it. I think it turned out so cute. You will see below that I have been a busy girl creating cards. Hope you enjoy :) I will be starting on my New Year project so be sure to check back!

Snowflake

So I found these red snowflakes at Walmart and thought "Wow! that would be great on a card." This is a really easy card to make. I used a little string to tie the snowflake to the cardstock. Then I tied the Happy Holidays sentiment to the snowflake. Turned out pretty cute.

The second card is a blue snowflake card. I like using blue instead of the normal red and green Christmas colors. I also love using clear cards. I am sure you will be seeing more clear cards form me:)

I like the idea of using snowflakes. Most of my Christmas cards in the past were made with Christmas trees. I find it hard to use snowflakes when I live in Florida. This year I am going to break out of my mold and I am going to send snowflake cards. 

I have already started to work on cards for next weeks post. Check back next week :)

I am back

Well I am back :) I realized tonight that no matter how busy I get I need to find time for myself. I love making cards and I challenged myself with this blog. I need to keep it up! So at least once a week I will make a post.

I posted before that I loved a paper pack called twitterpated. Here are a few more cards that I have put together using that paper pack.
I like to keep my cards simple. There is just something about clean lines that appeals to me. I think sometime cards can get to busy and it can takes away from the sentiment. I also like to make cards that other people can find inspiration from. I like to think my cards are easy to copy.

I hope that all of you out there get inspired and tap into you creative side and make some cards! If you need some help let me know and we can get together and craft away:)

Here is another take on the same paper pack and the same tree stamp. I think I like these cards because I love the fall. Cant wait to send these cards to my friends and family.

The last two cards are cute and easy. I have started to use circle in several of my cards. It's nice to try something a little different every once and a while. I think I may try to make more cards with circles. You will have to stay tuned to see what I come up with :)
