New creations in carding

Yesterday's card class was fun and the last for my son this summer.  He loved coming and creating this summer and will miss it; but it is back to school for him on Thursday. :)

It's Christmas in August.  (I know it is usually July; but we waited for the new mini to go live to create these.)

Using the Calm Christmas stamp set, we made this cute gift card holder card.  Love it!  We made a baby wipe stamp pad and then stamped the dove.  It came out beautifully.
As you can see, a nice place to store a gift card and then a "peek a boo" message!
Message slipped in under the dsp.  Too cute!
 
Next, we Deck the Halls with this ornament card. 
I love how the ornament peeks right through.
 
Then we made a quick and cute card using the illuminate pad and a wilderness set.
I just love how this card came out.  It was quick, easy and a beauty.
What a nice way to tell someone you are thinking of them. :)
 
I'm working on some tags using the themes listed on the Tag Tuesday blog site to jump start my paper crafting and I have a bunch I need to photograph and share.  I'll get on it this week!  I just love working in paper and trying new techniques.  I've really had a great time exploring the possibilities with the themes available.  Fun, fun, fun!
