Holiday Cards, Day 4

It is Day 4 of sharing holiday cards that I have made this week and boy do I feel like a penguin. I probably would be happier as the temperature has definitely dropped with the arrival of December. Today I decided to make a non-traditional holiday card. Here it is:

 The supplies I used are a modge podge really. I forget where I got the silver paper but everything else used is from Close to My Heart. This includes:

-Wintry Wishes Hostess Rewards set
- The stamp set from the Frosted Cardmaking Workshop on the Go (which is on the Retiring List)
- Exclusive Inks: Black, Twilight and Olive

I did use a technique that my friend Cardmonkey showed me about paper piecing with stamps. This is how the penguins on the outer edges got their scarves and hats. 

I cannot wait to share the next card with you.

I was asked to make samples for the son of a dear friend of mine. I love visualizing something and seeing it come to fruition. I have to say that I am partial to the first one but wanted to give a more traditional card as well. Here is what I came up with:

Please note that the details on the inside are not the real ones (LOL). I just wanted her to see what it could look like. The second card I made is this one:

This is still in it's prelim stage as I need to get to the store and get a floral garland around the bride and groom silhouette when the card is closed. As I said though, card 1 makes me happier. Which one do you all prefer? I would appreciate your opinion. Until next time....

Look Ma what I made....

Well, a 3 day weekend has done me good! Actually, the Cameo Silhouette has done me good too. I have been a crafting maniac since Saturday. I have made some projects I cannot share yet (they are future blog posts), wrote a magazine article and crafted with my friend Deneen today (I love when we get together). Well today I broke out some tear animal patterns that I bought awhile ago. Thanks to my other FB friend Staci (aka Precious Memories Scrapbooking & More) for teaching me about these! I decided to do two versions. Here they are:

I think they make the cutest couple!!! They may re-appear on a card one of these days :) Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a craftingly good week! Until next time....
