Letter of the Day - Letter S

 
Today is Monday, and on Mondays
we do The Letter of the Day,
and today's letter is "S".
We can use a cartridge
that starts with the letter
or an image that starts with the letter.
 
I chose to use a "S"leigh, from
Paper Doll Dress Up.
 
 
You can find this particular
sleigh on page 74 of the handbook.
I cut it twice at 5" wide.
I cut it once in silver
and again in red.
 
I cut the rails off of the red layer.
I then embossed it using a Sizzix folder.
I spritzed it with some Diamond Glimmer Mist.
Then I glued it on top of the silver layer.
I added some Platinum Stickles.
The presents were cut with
my Creative Memories square punch.
 
All paper is DCWV.
Still not sure I really like this card,
I think I used too many patterns,
it looks a little too busy.
Oh well, someone on my christmas
card list will still be getting it...LOL.

Letter of the Day - Letter P

 
 
 
Hello and Happy Monday!!!
it is Letter of the Day,
and this week it is the Letter P.
We can use a cartridge or an image
that begins with the Letter P.
 
I made a christmas card using
Pooh and Friends.
I have have this cart for along time
and this is the first time I have used it!!
 
 
I used the cute little Pooh Head from page 18 of the handbook
cut at 2.5".  The Santa Hat is from page 60 at 1.40".
All the paper I used is from Echo Park Very Merry Christmas
Paper Pack, which I purchased from
I cut the card base at 9" x 4 1/2",
so I ended up with a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
square card.  The second brown layer
is a Spellbinders Label 18.
The green layer is Spellbinders
Lacey Circles.  Each layer is
popped up with foam squares,
Pooh is mounted on an Action Wobble.
 
 



 
I cover the white trim on the hat with
Ranger's Snowflake Embossing Tinsel
which I also got from Erica.
 
The sentiment stickers were from the same
Echo Park Paper Pack.
I added some crinkle ribbon from
My Craft Spot in Cranberry
and Vintage Pine.
I also inked all the layers
with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

Letter of the Day - Letter F


Hello My crafty friends!!
Did you all get to see all the amazing projects on this
There were lots of inspiring ideas.

Well today is the first time I signed up
for Letter of the day!!
For the letter of the day, we can use
a cartridge or a cut that begins with that letter.
I chose to use the brand new Fontopia cartridge.
This cartirdge is so much more than a font cartridge.
It has some really great card cuts and graphics.
I made a very simple card today.
I was having trouble cutting the intricate
crest layers, so I did not use the top layer.
(I believe my problem was my mat was
not sticky enough so the paper kept coming up)
I chose the card from page 43
Here is the page from the handbook

I know some of you may say it is too early
for Christmas cards.  But the sooner
I start, the sooner I will be done!!
Hopefully I will not be still making
cards 2 weeks before christmas!!
The paper is from
DCWV, and the Snowman
is a Jolee's embellishment.

This was my original card, but
 I thought it needed more!!
I added some silver stickles
and some gems.
You cannot see all the sparkle this card has!!


On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from
"Have a Cool Yule" from Crafty Sprouts.


If you have not taken a look Fontopia
please check out the handbook
And if you want to buy it
you can order it HERE.
Erica has the best prices!!
