Christmas Cards with Removable Ornaments | KCS Designs by Kim | Black Friday Sale

-

Hello everyone.  I'm so excited to share this Christmas card idea with y'all.  Last week, when I was in town, I found packages of Christmas ornaments.  The ornaments are made from felt, are very light,  and as soon as I saw them, this idea popped into my head! 

Here is a video on how I made the card:


To make this card idea:
  • I made a top-folding A2 card using red cardstock.  
  • I printed one of the Christmas Gingham Journal Papers from KCS Designs by Kim at 50% on white cardstock.  
  • I die-cut it using a stitched rectangle die, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered it to my card front.  
  • Using the two sides of velcro, I added one sticker to the back of the felt ornament, then the other side to the card front, and added the ornament to the card front.   
  • I printed one of the sentiments from the Christmas Word Snippets set, trimmed it, layered it on a piece of red cardstock, and then to the card front. 
  • Lastly, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the inside of the card. 
Here are the 4 cards I made using 4 different ornaments. 



I love the idea of giving someone a card with a removable ornament on it.  This way, every year, when they decorate their tree, they will think of me.  LOL

KCS Designs by Kim is having a Black Friday Sale - their biggest sale of the year.  55% off everything in her store.  No coupon needed.

Hugs from Brasil.

QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge | Slimline Happy Easter Card

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
