Quick Cards

If you're looking for quick and easy cards to make and get out the door, then this one's for you! My inspiration for these cards was the header on the Fiskars blog! I saw this the other day when I was going through my blog reader. Since I'm down to the wire, these worked perfect for me.

All I did was figure out what size I wanted, found patterned paper I liked, cut 3 different sized squares and then cut them in half, added pop dots and stuck them to the card. Some of them I stamped the word Joy for the trunk since I have that stamp and then noticed I had some felt words that worked perfect. Add something to the top of the tree and you're done!

Products I used: Bazzill cardstock, patterned paper from Oriental Trading, Hero Arts gemstones, felt words. On some cards (not shown) I used the stamp Joy from the Hero Arts "Holiday Sayings" CL343 and embossed them.

Back to cardmaking and then I need to start making some treats!

Trees, Trees Everywhere...

I've made so many cards with trees in the last couple of days, that I feel like I'm lost in a virtual forest. When the hubby came home today and walked into my scrapbook room (which gives him anxiety), he looked at me and said "You look...stressed". Of course I am! If I've said it once, I'll say it again...it's my own fault. I do know one thing, I'm definitely having a drink tomorrow night, or maybe two! I want a Decadent, so we'll have to pick up some Choco-Vine while we are out and about. I think I deserve it after putting myself through a marathon of cardmaking.

I just love these cards! I've made a ton of them and if I can find some more paper in my stash that has the "right" look, I may make some more.

They look kind of 60's retro - especially the pink and green ones.

The supplies I used for these cards are: Bazzill Cardstock, Patterned Paper from Oriental Trading called Nostalgic Christmas, Clear Stamps from We R Memory Keepers - Merry & Bright, Hero Arts Stamps CL343 Holiday Sayings, Stickles, Corner Rounder to make the scallops and various ribbons.

I do know one thing. When I'm done with this year's cards, I better start on next year's so I'm not down to the wire again!
