Gorgeous Noble Peacock fun-fold cards kit!

Every time I make a project with this beautiful Noble Peacock specialty designer series paper I fall in love with it again.  It is just stunning! 

Each month I choose a designer paper and create 10 cards with it and other coordinating products.  Look at these beauties! 

Of course as you know, photos do not do them justice!  Every single card is a fun fold; some simple and others a bit more 'fun'.  There are 5 basic designs with 2 of each to give you options.  

This cards kit to go includes $20 in product (before tax & shipping) and the cost with Priority Shipping is just $35.  You're paying about $4 for all 10 cards!  

This kit includes the following:

• 1/2 package of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper (6" X 12")
• 1 spool 3/8" reversible (Old Olive/Pretty Peacock) ribbon
• 1 pkg. Noble Peacock rhinestone jewels
• 10 cards kit; pre-cut pieces including punches and die-cuts
• a pdf tutorial for all 10 cards with photos, measurements, supplies list and step by step directions

It does not include stamped images per SU policy. I used two stamp sets on these cards - Tasteful Textures and Beautiful Friendship.  If you'd like to add on either or both of these sets I'm offering them at 10% off with this kit.  Or use whatever stamps you already own to finish them. 

Email me at lagreff@gmail.com to sign up for it.  I can send you a PayPal invoice. 

Be sure to RSVP by December 17th to get your kit! 

It's just $28 for locals and $35 for long distance people with Priority Shipping. Kits should be mailed out around Christmas. The pdf tutorial is emailed to you then also.

Toile Tidings Christmas Wreath Card

We made this pretty Christmas wreath card at club in November.  The stamps and dies are from the Tidings All Around bundle on page 7 of the Holiday catalog.  See it here

This pretty paper is called Toile Tidings (seen here) and it's all Red and Garden Green with Vanilla. Each sheet is the same pattern on both sides but one is Red and the other side is Green.  So easy to use!  You know how it is with double sided designer paper; there's always a decision - which side to use.  This way the only decision is which color!  

Isn't it pretty?  I love the traditional patterns.  Here's a photo of the stamp set and dies bundle.  Click on it to see it in my store. 

I made a video with the 'how to' on this card.  It's short but full of good tips! Click below to watch it.

Snow Globe Scenes Shaker card; front and inside!

Today starts the year end close-out; now we know what is retiring and not carrying over from the Holiday catalog. Click here to see it.

Here's a unique way to use the Snow Globe Scenes dies for a shaker card.  I created this on Facebook Live last week on Tuesday.  

I chose to use Balmy Blue with White and Gold.  Look at the detail you get with these Snow Globe Scenes dies.  Gorgeous!  

And when you open the card you still have a shaker on the inside!  I love this cool effect with the window peeking in the front. I show how in my video you can see here.  You will want to get some of these Snow Globe Shaker domes before they're gone.  

The stamped greetings are from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set; a clear favorite of mine this season.

Night Before Christmas cards; quick & easy!

I made 14 Christmas cards in about an hour the other day.  Look at these cute, eye catching cards!  

I used the Night Before Christmas Memories & More cards pack seen here.  And the coordinating pack of cards and envelopes seen here. 

For example on this card I used two of the 3 X 4" cards.  I cut the bottom one in half on the diagonal for a nice bordering layer.  All I added were a few of the adhesive die-cuts in the kit. 

I kept them pretty simple; only adding some Wink of Stella to the cards.  I didn't add any other card stock and I didn't stamp a thing!  The greetings come from this cute cards pack you can see below:

The cards pack includes:

* 54 total double-sided cards (6 each of 9 designs) in 3" x 4" and 4" x 6" sizes
* 6 sticker sheets

This pack includes the following:

* 20 total Memories & More card bases
* Folded card size: 6-1/4" x 4-1/4" 
* 20 coordinating envelopes
* Product colors: Cherry Cobbler, Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla

If you lack the time to create hand made Christmas cards this year I highly recommend getting these two packs.  You'll get over 20 cards and envelopes made and will have leftovers!  In fact I had two sets of the cards and envelopes and ended up with 40 finished cards!  Again; I didn't stamp a thing to finish them up.  

I love these Memories & More card packs; quick and simple crafting.  They're also wonderful for scrap-booking too; they fit perfectly in our variety packs of 12 X 12" or 6 X 8" photo pocket pages.  You can see those here.

Snow Globe Shaker ornament!

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  To us the Holiday's are all about spending time with family.  And a bit of shopping and of course food!  It seems like the menu is a big priority for us. All of my kids enjoy cooking so everyone chips in making their favorites and a few new recipes too.   

I find lots of recipes to try out on Pinterest; my board is filled with half recipes and half stamping projects!  How about yours?  

I made these pretty Christmas ornaments on my Facebook Live this week Tuesday. 

You can see the video on my Facebook page here. 

You may wonder where I found that Navy & Silver ribbon on the left ornament.  I colored our White & Silver edged ribbon with Night of Navy ink and a sponge dauber. The copper star background on my ornaments is the Brightly Gleaming designer paper.  It isn't available any longer; it's sold out unfortunately. 

I used the Snow Globe Shaker domes in the Holiday catalog.  They're so fun to use and amazingly easy too!  I hope you can watch the video above.

I added the snow globe base to this one.  It's two die-cuts in the Snow Globe Scenes dies; one solid and one detailed. 

Here's a close up of the copper one. Inside is the Snowflake Sequins and Stampin' Ice Glitter.  The dome is usually flat side down but I switched it up so it was round at the bottom plus I could adhere the bow and sprigs at the top.
