As I have been saying I have been mojoless. I think perhaps it is possibly due to a number of reasons one of which is that I am overrun by cards in my house! Every time I tried to make a card I just couldn't since I don't 'need' any. Well since there are some calls out for Christmas cards I decided to switch gears and try some Christmas cards. Although it feels kind of wierd making them now, at least I am working my way through last years stash before the new yummy stuff comes out! hehehe
All of my cards today I made last night from the American Crafts Merry Mint collection.
The sketch this week from Limelight Papercrafts:
The extra challenge at Limelight and it is to include Fluff or Fuzz. My fluff is liquid applique on the house. I distressed the edges of the card and tree with some white ink. The stamp is from Papertrey Ink. I cut the house and tree with my Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge, and the scallops are from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.
The sketch this week from Pals Paper Arts:
Again the stamp is from Papertrey Ink. Punch is Marvy and the bell is my stash.
This is the card I made with some of the scraps from the last 2 cards. The sticker is from American Crafts, the punch is Marvy and the twine is May Arts.
Laurel,
ReplyDeletethese are all incredible! Love, love, love the candy cane and big snowflake!

Terrific cards. I really like that candy cane one.
ReplyDeleteIf you are being overrun with cards, try scrapbooking a bit more! LOL Ohhhh, or try crocheting! (hee, hee)
Hope your mojo returns so you have your creative outlet once again.
These are all fabulous. Love the papers you used and the pom pom balls. And look, now you have 3 Christmas cards done for this year.
ReplyDeleteMojoless? I think not! Love these, Laurel! Love the applique and the shimmer! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to say that you'll be featured on my blog Monday!!
ReplyDeleteOh how adorable! Love the Christmas cards. :) I am sure you will love getting all the new Christmas goodies soon.
ReplyDeleteVery cute cards, Laurel! I admire anyone who can make a Christmas card out of season. I associate them with cold and snow and can't bring myself to make one. LOL.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!!
Christmas in May..I love it!!!!! Your cards are absolutely FAB!!! Have a super weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Christmas cards! I laughed out loud at your statement that you are overrun with cards!!! Well, I guess so - if I made 4 or 5 cards every day I'd be very stocked up, too!!
ReplyDeleteBUT - you are very good at cards and scrapbooking - perhaps just a shift of gears? If you're like me, there are always more scrapbooks that need me!
Hugs!
So many pretty details! I love the scalloped bottom on your first card! Thanks for joining us at PPA!
