Walking In a Winter Wonderland

 Hello, friends!  So happy to be here with you today!  A week has passed since my last post, and I have made a little more progress on my Christmas cards.  How about you? 

I had so much fun creating this Bay Window card (I had never used this fold before) starring a little winter wonderland scene that I made starring some of the amazing winter/holiday brads that are in the shop (see my shopping list below for the links).
I started with a square of Bristol Smooth card stock and I ink-blended the entire square using Distress Oxide Ink in Chipped Sapphire.  I did several rounds of spritzing it with water to add the snow fall to the sky.  I die-cut some hills using a die that I have in my stash, adhered them to the square and trimmed the edges off.  I added some sparkly texture paste to the hills.  My tub is nearly dried out, and it has been retired, so I need to find another sparkly paste that I like.
I then added the brads to the panel to create my scene.  To complete my card, I added my favorite - the Glitter Enamel Dots in red!  I couldn't believe how cute this turned out. 
I love this card fold, as it folds flat for mailing, but it stands on its own, and the possibilities are endless! 

Thank you so much for hanging out with me! 

Xoxo, Kim

Have YoursELF A Merry Christmas!

Happy Friday, friends!  Do you make your own holiday cards to send or do you buy them?  I don't know about you, but I feel like Christmas is coming WAY too fast!   

I am scrambling to get my holiday cards finished, so I decided to create a fun center-step card for one of my favorite co-workers! 
This fun-fold was perfect to use several fun embellishments!  On the center panel, behind the elves, I wanted some sparkly bling, so I used the beautiful 1/2" Snowflake Bling.  I added the Snowflake Brads to the side panels, and what elf card would be complete without the Elf Brads!  They were perfect to go on either side of the sentiment. 
In case you are unfamiliar with this fun-fold, it is free-standing, and this is what it looks like from the side.  You can also see how the inside of the card is decorated. 
I hope that you will leave a comment and share about your holiday cards!  If you make your own, do you mass produce the same card for everyone, or do you create individual cards?

Have a Spooktacular Day!

 Hi friends!  I wanted to squeeze in one last Halloween card before it is too late!  I have been having so much fun with the Halloween-themed brads, that I couldn't resist!  

I created a new (to me) fun fold for this card - a Split-Window card.  I think this fold was made popular by the amazing Jennifer McGuire.  It was really fun and relatively easy to create. 
In case you haven't noticed yet, I am a HUGE fan of the sparkly washi tapes!  I use them ALL the time!  It makes a perfect trim on projects and this one was no different!  I used it to trim out the edges of both of my patterned papers. 
I added a Witch Hat and a couple Mini Candy Corn Brads to the sentiment panel and popped it up on foam tape.  
I really love this card!  As you can see, it is similar to a Book Fold Card; however, it has a die-cut between the two panels.

I hope that you love it too!  Are you a fan of fun-fold cards or do you prefer traditional flat-fold cards? 
Thanks for spending a few minutes of your day with me!
Xoxo, Kim
