Christmas Cards - Repurposed

One gets sidetracked when it's time to put away everything Christmas.  So instead of packing away or throwing out, I sat down and make several cards and/or tags from cards I received at Christmas.  The sparkly ones were my favourite to play with (although the sparkles don't really show up in these pics).  Here are just a few of the ones I did in a short period of time.

These first two are very sparkly in real life.  It was easy to just crop the focal point, trim the sentiments from the bottom of the card and adhere with dimensionals to lower half.  

This beautiful winter scene pops with a bit of red as the backing.  I think it could be used as a note card also.

A couple of tags all set for next year!

Now on to playing with some of the great stuff from this year's Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration freebies!!

Color Me Happy Project Kit - So Happy For You - Stampin' Up!

Here is the second of the cards in the Color Me Happy Project Kit.   (available while quantities last)

Stampin' Blends were a special release so they are not in the annual catalogue yet.  They will be in the Occasions catalogue that comes out tomorrow (Jan. 3/18)

Everything you need is in the kit (you supply the markers and Momento Ink plus any adhesives).  Today's card uses gold foiled tape and sequins that were included.  The sentiment piece and white piece are already cut out for you!

The Blends are Stampin' Up!'s new alcohol markers and are easy to use with two (light and dark) shades for each colour.  You can click on the photo below for colour choices.

These are the fun images in the Color Me Happy (red rubber) stamp set.  

Buy the Blends individually, in pairs or buy the whole set.

Contact me or go to my on-line store for these and all the other great products Stamp' Up! carries.

Color Me Happy Project Kit - Stampin' Up!

Well, it's the new year and I thought this was a great card to start it off!

This is pretty much my first go at using the new Blends, Stampin' Up!'s new alcohol markers.  You can find them on page 31 of the new Occasions catalogue that goes live Jan. 3/18.  I am no artist and still have a lot to learn but it was fun!  This card is from the Color Me Happy Project Kit (available while quantities last).

My card used two of the colours, Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie.  There are 12 exclusive colours, each with a dark and light marker.  Buy them as single markers or as combo packs.

So, here's to a wonderfully creative new year!
