Cold and Frosty Christmas Card

For this Christmas card I started with an aqua base cut to open at the bottom.  I added a piece of white card stock to the top and a piece of aqua dot patterned paper to the bottom.  I punched a strip of aqua card stock using the Doily Lace Edge punch from Martha Stewart.  I added it across the card and added a white ribbon and bow across the top of it.  I stamped the sentiment directly onto the white card stock and colored the stars with Spectrum Noir pens.  I added pearls to the bottom corner and added crystal stickles to the sentiment.

Clean & Simple Christmas

To create this Christmas card I started with an aqua card base. I embossed a piece of white card stock using my Sizzix machine and a snowflake embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white card stock, punched it out using the Real Estate Sign punch from EK Success. I colored in the stars using Spectrum Noir pens and backed it in aqua card stock.  I added crystal stickles to the stars on the sentiment.

Snow Buds

For my very first post of 2015 I would like to share with you a card that I created using Snow Buds digital stamp from Pollycraft.  I started with a card base that would open from the bottom instead of the side. ( I have a habit of creating cards that all open from the side and I'm trying to break myself of this habit.) I added a piece of Christmas patterned paper backed in a red pearl card stock to the card base.  I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens. (The tan on the image looks like it has more of an orange tint to it in this picture than the actual card does.) I backed the image in a red pearl card stock.  I punched a small snowflake using a Martha Stewart snowflake corner punch, added a pearl to the center and placed it in the corner of the image. I also added crystal stickles to the snowflake and a little to the image. I finished off my card by adding 3 pearls under the image.

It's Been Way Too Long!

It seems like forever since I've had a chance to join in with all the fun on blogland.  I can't wait to see what everyone has been up to and I can't wait to start sharing my crafty creations again.  Since it has been almost 10 months since I've even posted anything on here, I've decided to make this a "new start" to my blogging. And since this is a new start I've decided to not only redo the look of my blog but to start over with a new blog name.  Previously my blog was titled "My Scrap Happy Life" the new name of my blog is "Mary's Crafting Corner".   Before I posted mostly just cards that I've created but I've recently gotten into making other types of crafts.  Which partly explains the new name change. I am keeping all my previous posts up (at least for now).  I hope you all like the new look and feel of my blog and will join me in all my new crafty adventures.
