A WINTER SCENE

BEGINNING CHRISTMAS CARDS

I'm not sure if I had done any cards in the past with the One Horse Open Sleigh piece, but I had pulled it out of my supplies with several other sets.  I stamped, colored and die cut it.  I already had am embossed piece with the evergreen trees.  I die cut the "snow" pieces on glitter paper and added a die cut white tree (which doesn't show up well here).  Once the pieces were assembled I added it to a Pretty Peacock card base.

USING EVERYDAY HAPPINESS DSP

I can't remember what this type of fold is called but when I pulled out this paper and did a search on Pinterest, I saw one made basically like this.  I did end up cutting a deeper angle from what I understood she did.  Actually you don't really need to have a measurement other than the width of the card and the scoring measurements.  The directions she gave does not have equal size sections but it still works.  

I wasn't satisfied with the deep angle of this card so I made a second one shown below.  I am much happier with it.

The first and second card side by side.

EVERYDAY HAPPINESS DSP

I really like the colors for this dsp and haven't used it enough.  I had it out for a card I was working on which I will post tomorrow.  I decided to post this one first because it is using the same layout as the one I posted yesterday using the idea from Rita Holmes.  It's a fun layout using those three squares.

USING 2" SQUARES

Yesterday Rita Holmes did a live video on Facebook using three coordinating 2" squares.  I pulled out a pack of paper and there were several 2" wide strips so all I had to do was cut off a square of each.  The flowers are from an unbranded set I have had for a very long time.  They worked really well with this layout.  The arrangement was made on an embossed piece that I had done at an angle.  I really like it done this way.

STAMPIN' UP! "CUTEST CREW"

One of our granddaughters is having a birthday next week.  I doubt very much that she looks at my blog so I decided to post it early.  When I saw "The Cutest Crew" set from Stampin' Up! I decided to buy it because I don't have a lot of fun sets.  Also they have a Shitz Shu named Ellie and some of these puppies look a little like her.  I'm not sure what the breed is of the other dog but the figure in the middle was as close as I could come for Bo.  The layout for the card came from one I saw on Pinterest and I have added a picture of it at the end of this post.

The inside is actually also Very Vanilla card stock although the lighting looks yellowed.    I can't wait to give the card to Abby to see what she says.

AN EASEL CARD

I really don't remember if I have ever made an easel card before.  I have hesitated to make one to send because I'm not sure if the person would know that it stands up.  However, yesterday I decided to give it a try. I'll save this birthday card to send to someone who is probably another cardmaker.
