Not so Wordless Wednesday

For today's "Wordless" Wednesday, I wanted to find something from an Etsy shop that was nearby (just across the border in Vancouver, WA). I found the cutest pillows at tickingandtoile. I also thought it would be neat to pick something that was French related.

I'll be back later with today's Christmas card post (It's already listed in my Etsy shop if you want to peek!)

Holly Jolly Christmas

Here is another card that I listed on Etsy this morning. I’ve decided to list three cards each day until I run out. So far I have 6 Christmas cards listed.

The card below consists of many layers. The dsp is layered on top of very vanilla cardstock. Snowflakes are punched into the old olive cardstock, which is then layered on top of very vanilla cardstock. (You can see the very vanilla peeking through the snowflakes) And finally the very vanilla is layered on top of cherry cobbler cardstock.

I’ll keep today short and sweet. See you tomorrow with another Christmas card and a Wordless Wednesday pic.

Holiday Greetings

This one of the three Christmas cards that I listed in my Etsy shop. I love this card. It is a modern card that uses traditional Christmas colors.



I’ve been working on dressing up the inside of my cards a bit so you will see that I’ve done that really simply on this card with just a strip of cardstock and two punched ½” circles. I wanted to get it to match the dsp that I used on the front of the card.

I also used dimensionals to pop up the reindeer. I love dimensionals. I can’t seem to make a card without using them!

I have my Christmas cards ready to go. I’m planning on listing a few each day on Etsy, and featuring one of them on my blog.

I’ve been working on my “card catalog” to give to family and friends for Christmas card orders. I was almost done last night and then I thought that I should include cards for all other occasions as well in case they want to buy some for gifts etc.

Here is my supply list for today’s card:
Cherry Cobbler cardstock (su#119685)
Very Vanilla cardstock (su#101650)
Old Olive cardstock (su#100702)

Where have I been?!

It seems like it’s been years since I last posted. As some of you may already know, I have my first craft fair coming up in November. I’ve been working hard on my Christmas cards and other gifts for the fair. Needless to say my work space is a mess! Even the picture below is pretty tame!

I spent approx 2 hours last night taking photos of my new cards. I will post them on my flickr page and the cards will be available for purchase in my Etsy shop starting Monday October 11th.

I’ve also been working on some other projects for my craft fair but due to the estimated price of shipping, they will not be listed in my Etsy shop. I would still love to share them with you so I will be posting them on my blog along with instructions and possibly a video tutorial. I can’t wait! I love this time of year!

Take care. Thanks for stopping by!
