Birthday card with a large fun greeting with a layered star embellishment and some ribbon flags

 This card is for another one of my grandsons who has a birthday in November!!  I started with a warm blue card to coordinate with splash in my colour printed graphic from Freepik and layered on a yellow zig zag background (SU) to which I added a strip of black cardstock.  I used a black marker on the edge of the greeting to define the edge and added paper piercing.  I used double sided tape to secure my fabric flags and then added a layered star embellishment to the lower left corner using a brad.  I added this large element using 3D foam tape.  Therese

Christmas cards featuring snowflakes and brads

My sister was in need of a few Christmas cards for her staff as well so I made up a few of these fun snowflake cards.  I used the large snowflake die (SX) to cut them from a quarter sheet of cardstock.  I used the piece with the opening instead of the snowflake.  I chose some snowflake paper from her stash for the backgrounds - three different blue purple pink and one red and green.  I created cards to fit envelopes from her stash.  Trimmed backgrounds from the decorative papers  and then layered on the snowflake openings.  I ran the tracing wheel around their edges to create four paper pierced lines - one on each side.  I adhered the snowflake layer to the decorative paper and then added a snowflake embellishment which I created with a variety of snowflake die cuts from my stash.  I secured them with a large brad to the decorative paper and then added this large element to my coordinating card fronts.  Totally fun!!!  Therese
 

Christmas Card Kits featuring triangle trees and gold stars

 I have made up 40 kits of this Christmas card design for my sister to use with the kids at her daycare.  I trimmed cardstock and decorative paper into a variety of different sizes and then glued them onto

coordinating card fronts which fit in a set of gold envelopes from her stash.  They will be relatively easy to put together.  I embellished mine with dots of glitter glue but they could use paint with a qtip to make white dots or a little snowflake stamp or small snowflake punchies to decorate the background and/or the trees.  Kids have no trouble making things their own so I expect the final results will be very unique to each child.   Therese
