I have another set of Christmas cards that I want to share with you today: A Pocket Card Supplies: Arose Such a Clatter by Julie Billingsley, card stock Noel Supplies used: Deck the Halls – Chic by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, card stock, ribbon Merry Christmas Supplies used: Christmas Cheer by Traci Reed & Meghan Mullens, card stock
I just mailed my batch of Christmas cards (and hope they’ll make it to Europe in time for the holidays) – yay! (Big sigh of release …) And while I’m waiting for them to arrive, I’m happy to share some more with you here this week. (And in case you’re wondering why my Christmas cards are so generic and don’t have any family photos etc. that’s because in that part of Europe where I’m from we don’t have the habit of mailing photo Christmas cards.) Supplies used: Deck the Halls Classic by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, white card stock, ribbon. Supplies used: This Life: December by Penny Springman, card stock Supplies used: Noel by Shawna Clingerman & Penny Springman, ribbon, card stock And since in much of Europe, today’s St. Nicholas Day, I wish everyone who cares about such things a Happy St. Nicholas Day!
I’ve been busy lately. Busy working on my Christmas cards this year. And I’m excited to share some of them with you over the next couple of weeks. So, here’s my first sample: Supplies used: White Christmas by Traci Reed & Meghan Mullens; card stock, ribbon And since there’s so much to choose from, I’ll share another card with you: Supplies used: 12 Months December by Penny Springmann, card stock And my last card for today: Supplies used: North Pole by Mari Koegelenberg, card stock, craft punches If you haven’t gotten your hands dirty on creating cards, there’s tons of inspiration out on the www, and lots of simple ones, too. Like the ones I’ve been showing you today: they only require a little cutting of very simple shapes, pasting together, and they’re ready to warm someone’s heart this Christmas!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And because it’s Hybrid Thursday, and because it’s Thanksgiving (at least in some parts of the world), I thought I’d share a thank-you card I made recently. Everything was made from Mari Koegelenberg’s All Spice kit (SSD), and I only added a bow to it.
Thursday, lately, is always a happy occasion, because I get to share my latest card creations with you. And since autumn has everything in its grip where I live, it’s the perfect time to show you another one of my fall cards. This little beauty is a very simple one – just plain blue paper combined with a striped one, a little accent piece added, plus a ribbon, and it’s another token of love that will make someone happy. Supplies used: Autumn Essence by Julie Billingsley, white card stock, ribbon, white tack
I’m excited that after several months of not sharing any freebie with you, I finally get to post my latest template. It’s a simple one, and it’s a template for a card based on one of my hybrid projects. It actually took me forever to upload because my file host acted up on me, but here it finally is! Enjoy, and as always: Happy Friday, scrappers! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs.
Got you another card this week. This one’s another birthday card, and it was made, using Misty Cato’s “Adoration” as well as a handwriting font by Darcy Baldwin.
It’s that time of the year again. My favorite season! And in honor of the season, today’s hybrid post – of course – has to be a Christmas themed one. This one is the latest card I created with Julie Billingsley’s “A Frosty Christmas.” The holly leaves on the label I found among my Photoshop Custom Shapes, and for the sentiment, I simply used one of the fonts on my computer. Here you can take a closer look at this card:
I’m in trouble. It’s late where I am, I’m tired, I should be going to bed, but I can’t. Because I seriously stuffed myself. And even hours after the event, I’m still way too full to put myself to sleep like this! With the Thanksgiving dinner being the best meal of the year and all, of course you’ve got to seize the opportunity. And with all the various dishes of stuffing (they come on the side here, not in the turkey), of course I feel stuffed. But anyways. That’s just a side note. I should talk about my current card. Of course, it being Thanksgiving and all, it had to be another thank-you card, and I made this one with an older Jenn Barrette contribution to one of the SSD Quarterly Assortments last year. I “stamped” the sentiment with one of the stamp alphas by Heather Roselli, and easy-peasy there’s another card ready to go and find its recipient! On that note, happy thanksgiving y’all!
The holidays are around the corner, and for many of us this means mailing out season’s greetings. What better reason do we need to get our crafty mojo going, and create our own Christmas cards? (Or any kind of card for that matter?) Today, therefore, I’d like to introduce you to a website that has become a great inspiration for my own card making in the last few months: Card Positioning Systems. The website runs like a blog, and on a frequent basis, sketches for greeting cards are released along with a full load of handcrafted cards that were created based on the sketches. What better inspiration do you need to kick your card-making up a notch? And don’t worry, this is not a Christmas site. They publish new sketches all year around, and their sketches are general enough to use for non-holiday-themed greeting cards as well. Here are some more samples from their recent posts … Got inspired? Then why don’t you hop over to CSP to browse their posts a little more? …
