Tree- Mendous Wishes - Gift Card Holder

Hello, Happy Happy Saturday!!

I hope you are having a fabulous weekend so far!

This week the Joy's Life DT has been sharing 3D Christmas projects, and here is what I created for my post:

Isn't that a fun gift card holder??

I found this file at the Silhouette online store.

I embossed the tree and tree trunk, and added some buttons to give it a little more flair. :)

The sentiment is from Joy's Oh, Christmas Puns, which can be found at the Joy's Life Products Page, here.

I hope you enjoyed my project!!

Merry Christmas - ornament

Hello crafty people!!

Just a quick post to share my creation for the Peachy Keen Challenge.... 

3D - Hang It on the Tree.

And here it is:

I found this fun ornament at the Silhouette online store.

I used the new Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month kit for that adorable little deer. The holly on his neck is from last months PK Nov. SOTM kit. I colored the stamps with Spectrum Noir markers.

The tag is cut from a die from the My Creative Time Teeny Tags Greeting and stamped with the sentiment from Teeny Tag Holidays.

I then added some ribbon, twine and a button from my stash... and it was complete. :)

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Happy Holly Days!

Hello... Happy Saturday!!

Today I am sharing the card I created for my post over at the Joy's Life Creative Team. The team has been sharing some wonderful Christmas cards this past week, so if you haven't stopped by recently, now would be a perfect time.

Here is my card:

This adorable little bear is from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

I added some Liquid Glass to the nose and some Liquid Applique to the Santa hat for added texture. You can see it better here:

The fun sentiment is a stamp from Joy's Life Wintery Puns:

  And there you have it.

I hope you enjoyed my card. :)
