Parum Pa Pum Pum

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing yet another Christmas card. For this card I used Made To Surprise by Sam Calcott's 5 x 7 Side Panel Card die set from her Showstoppers Collection.

I used the Little Drummer Boy stamp set from Daisy Mae Designs Nativity Collection. I love all the cute kid images included in this collection.

Along the right hand panel, I added the "Merry Christmas" using the Stacked Merry Die set from MFT Stamps. The "Christmas' is from Creative Craft Products Honeycomb Christmas stamp set.

On the back of the card, I added a white panel for a stamped sentiment and a place to write a personal greeting. I also added a patterned paper panel on the left side of the card.

Swinging By

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun kinetic birthday card I created recently.

This card uses Made to Surprise by Sam Calcott's Swing Card die set, I have been after this die set for a while and it finally came back in stock so of course I grabbed it. 

I used Daisy Mae Designs Let's Get This Party Started stamp set for the image, I love how she swings from the ceiling and so perfect to use with this die set.

Here is a quick video to see my card in action.

Here is a side view of my card, so you can see the base of the card a little better.

I also added balloons to the left side of the card which are from My Creative Life.

On the back of the card, I added a panel for a place to add a sentiment and personal greeting.

The sentiment used on here is from Creative Craft Products "Funny Sentiments" stamp set. I have been wanting to use this sentiment for a while, and I finally found the perfect image to use it with.

Noel

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Nativity themed card I have created using stamps from Daisy Mae Designs.

For my card base I created a Stepper Card using Creative Craft Products 4 Stepper Card die set from their Step On Up Collection. 

I used Daisy Mae Design's  No Room At This Inn stamp set to added the Nativity images to the card.

The "NOEL" is die cut using Lawn Fawn's Oliver's Stitched ABC's die set.

I added a glittered star above the manger image.

For the front of the card, I added Daisy Mae Design's While Shepherds Watched stamp set.

I added a white panel on the back of my card, as a place to add a sentiment and write a personal sentiment. The sentiment is from Divinity Designs.

Surprise!

 

His Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a fun birthday card using the DL Diamond Card die set from Creative Craft Products Fancy Folds Collection. I die cut the base from white cardstock and then used papers from Crafter's Companion's Colour My World Paper Pad to decorate the various panels.

In the centre panel I added the cute woman jumping out of the cake which is a Daisy Mae stamp set.

The "Happy Birthday" Sentiment and tags are from Creative Craft Products Happy Birthday Bundle. I elongated the tag the "birthday" is on by doing some partial die cutting.

Here you can see how the side panels, fold into the centre panel when it needs to close to be placed in the envelope. 

Here is a view of the back of my card, I decorated the side panels with the same patterned paper I used on the front of the card.

I added the birthday sentiment which is from a Made To Surprise stamp set. The present and party hat are both from the Creative Craft Products bundle I used on the front.

What's More Fun Than Blowing Out Candles?

Hi Crafty Friends,

It was my daughter's birthday earlier in the month, and as she wanted money to buy ski clothes to take on a skiing holiday she has planned, I gave her money so she could get what she wanted. Of course I had to make a money card to add the money to.

As you can see, I decided to go with a winter them and added snow, snowmen etc seeing that was the theme of her present.

I used the Money Card Die-namics from MFT Stamps to create the base of my money card and the sentiment is from their Birthday Cash stamp set. 

The snow and snowman pieces were created using Karen Burniston's Snowman die set and also the Nature Edges die set.

For the back of the money card I added this cute snowman on skis which is a Daisy Mae stamp. I added another sentiment from the Birthday Cash stamp set from MFT Stamps and the "Hit the Slopes" is from a Hello Bluebird Stamp set.

 

Snow One Like You

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Thanks for visiting my blog today. I have a Snowman themed Christmas card to share with you today.

To create this card I used two Daisy Mae stamp sets that had been released a month or two ago. The snowman stamp set is called Snow One Like You. I also used Creative Craft Products Hexagon Easy Fold die set to create my card base.

 I wasn't expecting to get to use this stamp set until next year, as I had purchased the set during a Black Friday Sale over on Craft Stash. I must have ordered about 10.30 am my time on the Friday and I got a notification that night to say the order had been shipped ... super fast. Not only was it super fast to get out from the Craft Stash Warehouse, it was also super fast to get past all the different stops on the way! It even beat a couple of other orders I placed from the same place a week or two previously!

For the inside of my card, I added two sentiments, the "Snow One" sentiment is from the same stamp set as the snowman I used on the front of the card. The Christmas sentiment is from a Waffle Flower Crafts stamp set.

The robin and the sign on the front of the card are from another Daisy Mae stamp set called Snowy Scenes.

Frosty Wishes

Hi Craft Friends,

Thank you for visiting my blog. Today I have another card I created using some of the images and papers from the November 2022 Papercraft Society Box designed by Daisy Mae.

I have again opted to use the precoloured images that are available to download, as this saves a lot of time having to colour. I love that the dies included in the box can be used to die cut the recoloured images as well as the stamps included in the box.

For my card today I created a Flip card using Creative Craft Products Circle Perfect Flips die set which creates a flip card that is 5 x 7.

As well as adding two of the images from the box, I added some die cut snowflakes and the "Frosty" word using dies included in the box.

When you pull the card open the circle in the centre 'flips" to reveal the other side which in this case has a sentiment. I added the "frosty" again using the die from the box. The "Christmas Wishes" is from Crafter's Companion's Crafter's Inspiration Magazine Issue 5.

 

Christmas Wishes Shaker

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a super cute Christmas themed 5 x 7 Shaker card to share with you today. 

I haven't been sharing cards much this year on weekends, but I have so much I still want to share with every before Christmas that I will probably post a little more often between now and Christmas. It may not be every weekend, but there will be a few times I will for sure.

For my card today I used products from the Papercraft Society's November Box which was designed by Daisy Mae. I just love the cute little polar bear images, and even though Christmas is in summer down here, I can't resist using these images to create a few Christmas cards.

Part of the kit, includes papers and coloured images to download so even though there are a few papers in the kit as well as a stamp set, I downloaded the images. The advantage of downloading the images is, that they are already coloured and I can adjust the size to whatever I want. I did make the image for the front of my card larger so it was be the focus of my card.

To create the shaker card, I used the full front shaker card technique, using some stamp packaging for the shaker cover. I added white sequins inside the shaker which were also included in the Papercraft Society kit.

To finish off the front of the card, I added some red snowflakes using dies from the kit.

For the sentiment I used stamps from Crafter's Companion's Crafter's Inspiration Magazine Issue 5.

For the inside of the card, I used the same image I used on the front of the card, but this time at the original size. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the image.

I used the Oh So Merry Sentiment from Mama Elephant's The Penguin's Waddle set to the main part of the sentiment. I then used the Crafter's Companion stamp set again to add the rest of the sentiment. I had to piece the "We Wish You An" part of the sentiment using parts of two sentiments in the set.

Flying By To Say

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Slimline card I created recently. A while back I purchased this fun Hot Air Balloon image ... if you know me you know I love owls and as my sister loves elephants, I just had to get this stamp set. I finally got around to playing with it.

I created a Slimline Card using a Slimline die set from LDRS Creative. For the grass at the bottom of the card I used dies from Trinity Stamps.

For the inside of the card I used a piece of white cardstock which was left over from die cutting the LDRS Scalloped Slimline die set to create a frame from another project.

I added the "hi" (high) sentiment which is from The Stamp Market.
