Craftwork Cards CANDi - Christmas Card

Merry Christmas Eve! For those that celebrate Christmas, I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas! And since it is Christmas Eve and little ones all around the world are anxiously awaiting the arrival of St. Nick, I thought I would share a fun card with you....

This card was made by taking 17 punched circles that I folded and adhered to form a tree shape. I loved the way it popped right off the card! And of course, Christmas wouldn't be complete without Santa peeking out from behind the tree!

I added CANDi to the tree to look like ornaments. It was the perfect touch! I used glue to adhere them to the tree.

I used the Very Merry Silver CANDi on the card:

Enjoy the time with your family and friends!

Quick Quotes - Unwrap the Fun!

Hello! It's Barb and I am back to host the blog today! I don't know about you, but one of the things I look forward to the most, is watching the kids unwrap their Christmas presents each year! The excitement on their face when they open that gift they have been hoping for always makes me happy!

This layout was inspired by the sketch this month.... 

I always love to work with Karan's sketches! 

I wanted to create my own tree so I used the PowderPuff Chalking Ink in Green with Envy to color the ribbon for my tree. 

If you would like to see how I colored the ribbon and made the tree, I have created this video tutorial...Enjoy!

Quick Quotes - Christmas Cards

Hi! I'm Barb and I am sharing some Christmas cards with you today! I'm not sure where the time goes but all of a sudden I found that it was December and I was not done (not even close!) with my Christmas cards! Yikes!

I decided it was time to get busy so I created these cards using the Cracklin' Rose line. I love how elegant this line is.

The double sided papers make a card like this quick and simple.

I distressed all the edges on this card with Amaretto PowderPuff Chalking Ink. I finished it off with a brown ribbon bow and some berries with greenery. I hope you were a little more on the ball with making your Christmas Cards. But, if you aren't, Quick Quotes Cracklin' Rose line is the perfect solution for you!

Craftwork Cards CANDi - The Girls!

Hi!  Today I am sharing a Christmas layout of my daughters. Sometimes when they are together, they are just plain silly! But it is moments like this that I want to remember... the silly, goofy, everyday moments!

These were taken after a day of baking Christmas cookies. I am blaming the silliness on too much sugar! :) 

And, of course, a layout is not complete until you add a little CANDi! Here I sprinkled a few around the ornament hanging from the title. 

This entire layout was made with scraps of Echo Park paper left over from other Christmas projects. I added CANDi to the plain green paper and the red paper for some dimension and interest. I love how it adds dimension without distracting from the layout! 

I used this CANDi on my layout: 

 Rainforest and Very Merry Silver

Quick Quotes - Laughter!

Happy Friday Everyone! It is my month to host the December challenge at Quick Quotes. This month, I am challenging you to use Vellum on your card, layout or off the page project. Here is my layout...

These pictures are from Thanksgiving this year. I know... not your typical color choice for Thanksgiving photos but since we are in Arizona and the kids were running around barefoot, I thought I could use it! I love the Just Because line...the colors make it so versatile.

The vellum on my layout was this fun quote. It was perfect for the silly photos I was using. I adhered it to a piece of cardstock on the left side and tucked that under the banner. I also put some adhesive where the butterflies and flowers are so it wouldn't be seen.

I would love to see how you use vellum on your projects! Be sure to link up your project for a chance to win this month's prize! Good luck!
