Recycled Christmas #6

I decided not to cut the grid for this variation, but I'm still happy with the outcome.

The "happy holidays" portion of the rub-on was in a long line so I found it was coming off on my fingers while I was trying to hold the other part to transfer it. Explains why only 2 sides were done, doesn't it?

Isn't the swirling snow pretty?

This is the last one for this colour combination/variation.

Check back tomorrow to see some new combinations!!

Have a great day!

Recycled Christmas #5

A variation, as promised.

This rub-on was one large snowflake that spelled out "let it snow". I think it's kinda cool after it's been "shattered" out on the grid.

Please, if you're feeling panicked about your Christmas cards this year...drop me a line. We can create beautiful yet simple cards for you!

See you tomorrow!

Recycled Christmas #4

Some might say this is a little "goth", but I love the boldness of the colour combination!

When we originally did this card we used a bleaching technique. That technique did, however, prove troublesome! ;)

I used white rub-ons and transferred the sleigh, reindeer and snowflakes separately, then I cut the "picture" to create the grid.

I added the snowflake brad (which isn't SU!), but I love it.

Here's the original:





I'll have a couple more variations of this one. There's only so many of the same rub-on images in a package. Be sure to check back...

OMG! I forgot to post!

And this is #3 in my series...recycled Christmas!

I'm really quite fond of how this one turned out, and so simple!

The only thing I added was a couple of "ice" rhinestone circle brads. I couldn't resist a little bling!

Still used the same set "Heard from the Heart" for the sentiment, but traded out last year's SAB for Serene Snowflakes.

Here's the original:

Recycled Christmas #2

Here's # 2 in my little series. I adore Kiwi Kiss & Pacific Point together and I love how this turned out.

New elements include Patterned Pines (which is a Level 1 Hostess set exclusive to the holiday mini catalogue), the Modern Label punch and Serene Snowflakes - also in the holiday mini. Oh and let's not forget the "merry & bright" from To You and Yours, which I believe is on the dormant list that will be retiring on 5 Jan 2010.

I think I might actually enjoy the Christmas version better than the original. But I do love, love, love the Choo Choo set in the original. Screams little boy!

I'm really enjoying this little project of mine - I find myself completing a couple of cards here, a couple of cards there. No stress, not mass producing and no cutting! Did I mention how much I love not having to cut anything!?!?

Here's the original:












Have a wonderful day!

Recycled Christmas?

Allow me to explain...

You see, I'm a busy mom of two, who works full-time outside of the home, I work out 6 times a week between kickboxing, weights and cardio and spend most of my time exhausted. We're going on vacation soon and things around here are piling up.

And while I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making my Christmas cards...something has got to give!

A while back I was running $10 card classes. All supplies were pre-cut par moi and you wonderful ladies came in, stamped, assembled and went away with some fabulous cards (if I do say so myself!). I still have some of those supplies left hanging around. I had thought I would sell them off as kits to those who wanted them, but as time flies by me...I've been putting it off and putting it off.

Well, 2 nights ago I decided it was as good a time as any for me to stick to what I love - stamping and assembling! UREKA!! No cutting required!! Whew! I really didn't think I was going to have the time to get this done!

This is the first card of a series, which I will call recycled christmas! Don't you love how you can simply change out the stamp set and the card has a completely different feel!?!

Does it look familiar now???
