Tri-Shutter Christmas Card

Hello TJ Friends~ Kathie McGuire here on your stamping weekend with a Tri Shutter Christmas card. This technique can be found on the Fancy Folds and Motion CD. 40 of my christmas cards this year were Tri Shutter cards. Although I've been making Tri Shutters for a long time, I had never made so many for Christmas cards. Hands down, I never received so many wonderful calls and emails with comments about the cards. I'll be sharing a lot of them here with you over the next several months, so be sure to revisit me here often! The majority of the panels are covered with purchased background papers. The long, thin center panel(teal colored holly) is metal from Add A Little Dazzle along with the small panels which are silver with a magenta design. I embossed both metal panels with a Cuttlebug folder and then used a sanding block to remove the color. Metal is so much fun to work with! Thanks for stopping by today! Kathie

Scribble Borders Tutorial

Nancy Dawson here with the Scribble Borders Technique featured in the December 2012/January 2013 Newsletter! Such a fun and easy technique. I especially like it for the bold stamps and male-oriented cards!

Now that the holidays are winding down, I hope we all  have more time for creating. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and had lots of quality time with friends and family.

Happy Stampin' & Scrappin'
Nancy

Ribbon Tab Border by Judy Jackson

Happy day to you from Judy Jackson.  I also used Rainbow Edges technique.  If Cinderella's glass shoes had any texture - I think they might look this!  I love this shoe and the verse from Impression Obsession.  The shoe is a Close to My Heart stamps.

I used a variety of ribbons to add variety and interest. Both techniques are from the current December/January newsletter.  I can visualize how this technique could be used for Christmas cards.   Mine are done -- or at least the focal image is done and they won't be able to utilize this technique. 

Flat backed sticky pearls are used an embellishment.

Be crafty today!

Christmas is coming soon so here are a couple of quickie gift card holders.  I made these for a friend who needed them for gift giving.  I altered the original directions to make the card a little wider.  Hope you enjoy and are inspired to make some gift card holders of your own.  The blue flower is from a stamp set I got from Gina K Designs.  The iris stamp is one of the first stamps I ever purchased in 1987 from Personal Stamp Exchange.....still love that stamp!  It is colored with copics.
