Just a TAD Crafty

So, this challenge didn't go as well as planned...took me a bit longer
than the 20 days to do the 20 cards...sorry.
Life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid plans, and this was one of those time.
However, 2011 is almost at the end.
I wonder what I have in-store for you for 2012.
Okay, I know and I will let you know before the end of 2011
Bye for now.

Affordable.

One thing I wanted to show you was how versitile the glitz glitter is.
Here I used it to make the "snow" my little buddie is standing in.

I also used it to highlight the snow flurries.

card a day-16 & cricut #12

Okay, I know I am cheating combining two challenges into one post, but I'm way behind as it is
and Christmas is almost here
and I want to share my Studio J files
and I'm all out of excuses.

The Card!!
I love the way a little detail can make your card WOW.
Hope you like this one, it's one of my favorites.

card a day --13

I used a retired CTMH stamp set for this card

Stamp images on white cardstock
and mat as shown

I know I say this every time, but
It is very important to remove the protective film from both sides of the card before you adhere anything.
Adhere the 5 1/2 strip to the inside (outside edge) of the card as shown.
(Note if you dont want the adhesive to show, adhere the mat to the back of the card and then adhere the patterned paper on the inside)

adhere the sentiment to the inside of the card as shown

Final Step
Close card, adhere image to front of card.
(center it over the mat on the inside)

View of the card open.
I appologize for the poor picture quality, but my editing software was giving me grief, so I quit fighting with it and just posted the pic as is.

12 days of Cricut--6

I used the same recipe for this card as I did in the Card Challenge #11
However, I used the
Elemental paper X7141B
Snow Flurries D1384
and cut the snowflake #1 (p.23) @ 2" and 1 1/2"
I also added some sparkles to it

card a day --11

I have actually posted this card before, but here is how to make it
Cut out pieces as displayed above

attach flower to 6 1/2" piece of ribbon

attach the ribbon to the 5 1/2" piece of patterned paper--set aside
(ignore the scribbles in the corner of the photo)

Very, very important....remove protective film
from inside and out of the clear card.
attach the solid colored cardstock to back of card
(about 1/2" from side)

attach the patterned paper to the inside of the card
(if you do it this way you can "hide" your adhesive)

attach matted sentiment to inside of card.
