Lisa’s Handmade Cards

I’m back with yet another Christmas card. Today’s card has some fabulous hand cut trees sewn on (at least I think they are fabulous). For the snow I used the snowflake cuttlebug folder and the stamp is from Stampendous. All the patterned papers are from a Christmas stack I bought a long time ago that I no longer remember who from. Sorry.

I’m entering this card into the following challenges-

The Cuttlebug Spot- winter

The Creative Card Crew Challenge- Christmas

Everybody Art Challenge- stitching

Stampavie and More- Christmas

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge- Christmas trees

Paper Temptress- Christmas

These are what I made for my mother and mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. I bought the paint cans a few months ago and just hadn’t had the right occasion to use them. The hardest part of doing a paint can is getting the paper just right to fit around the handles. I used a heart shaped punch and a slit on both sides to make room for the handle. Then I sewed the paper and had to stop and start over around each slit. It was time consuming but matches up pretty well (the bottom picture shows this best). The tags are cut out from Alphalicious and the dragon fly on top of the blue lid is from Pooh and Friends. There are a few circles from the George cartridge as well. I filled them with yogurt covered prezels (plain, peanut butter, and rasberry- yum!).

This stamp is from Stampendous. It’s called “Girlie Chick”. I like it’s name the best. I used a lot of stickles and the chick and flower are 3D.

I love those darn bears. I wish you could see the girls eyelashes better. They are fabulous! I used the George Cartridge to cut out the hearts. The words are all stickers. Can’t wait until I have a hot pic of me and my Valentine to put on it!
