Round Christmas Reindeer Card

What does a rainy day at home mean?  It means I made one more card for the Jingle Belles shaped card challenge.  :)  I've had this Silhouette design for several months and this seemed the perfect time to try it out.  I cut the round card from green cardstock and the reindeer image from gold foil cardstock.  The design is so pretty I didn't want to take away from it with adding too much to the card.  I put a small gold rub-on sentiment, gold sequins and a gold metallic bow for the finishing touches.  Thanks Jingle Belles for a fun challenge.  I think I will be making more shaped cards in the future since they are enjoyable to create.  :)  My gold reindeer will be prancing by these challenges:

Shaped Ornament "Let It Snow" Card

I'm having way too much fun making shaped Christmas cards for the current Jingle Belles challenge.  :)  I've never made many shaped holiday cards but it is enjoyable (plus easy) with the Silhouette Cameo.  I had this ornament card in my stash of Silhouette Design Store patterns (A2 Snowflake Ornament Christmas Card).  I heat embossed the stamped sentiment with white embossing powder on red cardstock.  I put it on the card with foam tape for added dimension.  I added sequins (for sparkle) and a baker's twine bow for a quick and easy card.  I went ahead and put a sentiment inside it and stamped snowflakes on an envelope.  It is now ready to mail when Christmas rolls around.  This ornament is going to be decorating at:

Shaped Christmas Truck Card

I have another card for the Jingle Belles shaped card challenge called "Shaping Up For The New Year."  I used my Silhouette Cameo and a pattern called "Truck Christmas Tree by Studio Illustrado."  The sentiment stamp I used is by Unity Stamp Company.  I decorated the tree with metallic red small brads.  Fun card to make.  This red truck will be riding by:

Shaped Christmas Cardinal Card

I'm joining the Jingle Belle's Shaping Up For The New Year challenge again.  I'm having too much fun with it!  ;)  You are to make a shaped card (anything but a rectangle or square).  I've been wanting to make this cardinal since I purchased the pattern several months ago from the Silhouette Design Store.  This challenge is perfect for their "Cardinal Shaped A7 Card."  I added a black pearl for the bird's eye.  I also used red sequins for the berries on the holly.  Last I made a Dymo label sentiment and adhered it on a small Sizzix tag die with baker's twine.  Next Christmas I'll be mailing this one to my bird lovers friend.  :)   I'm linking my holiday bird up at:

Shaped Hipster Santa Card

I've taken a few days off from my cleaning and organizing home projects.  I'll get started again next week after I rest a few days.  But if I am honest, I missed making cards and needed some crafty time!  ;)  There is a fun challenge at Jingle Belles called "Shaping Up For The New Year."  It is all about making shaped holiday cards.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to create this hipster Santa.  The pattern is called "Santa Claus Motorcyclis Card" and can be found at the Silhouette Design Store.  The stamped sentiment is by Darcie's Clear Stamps (Happy Holla Days set).   We have a friend which rides motorcycles so I know who is getting this card for Christmas!  :)  This Santa is hip and will be riding to these challenges:

Shaped Santa Card

I have a quick post  because I am working on a home "tidying up" project.  I'm tackling some bathroom vanity cabinets today.  Not necessarily fun work but I'm liking the way it helps keep a tidy house once you finish.  :)  I'm enjoying creating shaped cards for the new Jingle Belles challenge called "Shaping Up For The New Year."  No rectangles or squares but instead "shaped cards" for this challenge.  This Santa card is from the Silhouette Design Store (A2 Santa Shaped Card).  I stamped a believe sentiment in the upper left corner of the card base.  How's that for a fun, fast and easy card?  Better go back to work and get those bathroom cabinets finished!  Jolly St. Nick will be joining these swaps:

Shaped Holidays House Card

I'm still in full Marie Kondo mode at my house.  After working for eight days in our walk-in closet, I'm doing smaller projects this week.  Little things so I can rest up and not get totally burned out.  I still have more closets to do but they can wait a few days.  There is a new challenge at Jingle Belles I couldn't wait to create for.  The new theme is "Shaping Up For The New Year" which means make a shaped holiday card.  I remembered a cute cutting pattern I purchased from the Silhouette Design Store (A2 Christmas House Shaped Card).  I found the perfect sentiment stamp (Reverse Confetti's Sweet Holiday).  Fun card to make and a whole lot more fun than cleaning closets!  ;)  I'm linking this shaped card at:
