    Minions Birthday and Lighthouse

    Here are two quick birthday cards that I made.  The lighthouse is cut out on the side to show a white background.

    For this second one it was a little bit more time consuming because I had to piece all of the parts onto the minions to create them.  I loved how they turned out and I know the recipient will love it just as much as I do.

    MIA and a few Christmas cards

    I know I have been missing as of late, but for a good reason, let me explain.  I was asked to be a part of a craft show that benefits the homeless and less fortunate in a school district where I work.  I have been making cards to sell for the past month and a half. Here is a photo of my table.

    Me at craftshowAs you can see I had a few cards to display.  Here are a few that I created this past month.

    This card was created using Stampin Ups decorative paper pack.  I hand cut all of the designs and added windows to some so it would look like Santa is putting presents under the tree.  The other two frames are Santa and some of his deer playing on the ice.  Cute huh!

    This next one is a closeup of the Nativity.  I used navy blue and white paper.

    This next card is an angel that I die cut and then fit it back into the spot where I cut it out from.

    Gold angelFor my last one, it is not a card but is made with paper.  I love angels just about as much as I love hearts.  This angel is made from a mold and paper then sprayed with gold glitter paint.  It is mounted on red velvet board with a gold frame.

    Gift tags for Christmas

    Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it is the start of the Christmas season.  As I am writing this there is only 25 more days until Christmas.  I made a couple of gift tags to go on the presents that I purchased over the weekend.  My first one is a little girl holding lots of presents.

    This last item is a candy holder shaped like a penguin, he turned out so cute!  I have a side view also.  It’s not to big just big enough to give someone a few pieces of candy or even better chocolate. Check it out.
