Gnomes & Julie Nutting Doll Christmas Cards

Hi guys! I have some more Christmas card ideas for you in two NEW and quick YouTube videos! In these tutorials, I shared how I created my own Gnomes and how I used Julie Nutting's doll stamps on my cards. They are both fun ideas.

Let's look at the Gnomes! I printed images to make a template for these 6 x 6 sized cards. Then, I traced them on my card base and on patterned paper to make their body and the hats. Finally, I painted them and added their cut out hats. So cute! I hope you give them a try.

Used Kaisercrafts patterned paper.

The next video is featuring Prima's Julie Nutting doll stamp. I just loved making cards with her. I make two sizes, 5 x 7 and a slimline style. I bought this stamp from Demali Handcrafts. Demali Handcrafts Here

The stamp is called "Phoebe."

This doll is over 7 inches long and worked better on the slim line card.

Are you making cards this year? If you are, I hope you found some inspiration here. Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day.

Emmy's 2010

Did you watch the red carpet last night for the Emmy's? I love watching these award show red carpets more than the show itself. I just saw the pictures online. One the sites I looked at was radaronline.com. These pictures are from there. First, I liked the navy blue one. The dress had lots of drama and she wore it well. The purple one was interesting. Still trying to decide if I like it. Maybe it would have been better with the layers on the bottom but not both. I really love the color and the idea. Maybe a little too much going on. radaronline.com This next dress worn by Eva Longoria was so pretty. The black flowers on the bottom of the dress was so stunning! She looked great, too. I wonder how the dress would look in a lighter color? Maybe the floral details would show up better. radaronline.com Out of all the dresses I saw these were the most interesting ones. I was a little disappointed there weren't more WOW dresses. Also, there were s...

Valentine's Cards

Happy belated Valentine's Day. I hope it was a sweet one for you all. I just love making greeting cards for this holiday. Nornally for Valentine's I make red and black cards which I love but this year I decided to add some pastel colored cards to my collection. Earlier this year, I made some cards with this beautiful paper pad from Michael's. I loved it so much, I just had to see if I could use it for Valentine's and they look great to me. Details: Recollections Paper is from Michael's 6x6 paper pad called "Blush and Mint." Flowers made with my Spellbinders scalloped circles. Take a look! Do you feel the love? LOL! Cards are 5x7 in size. See the heart in the center? Love that idea! Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...
