I've made some Christmas cards. It's my favorite card to make, I love making them for my family. I used new stamp sets and DSP from the mini catalog. Christmas Classics and Winter Owls were used for these cards. The owls are my favorite, they remind me of Hedwig from Harry Potter. The mini tree dies and the Christmas Classics coordinating dies were also used for these cards. 

Mother/ Daughter Project Mystery Cards Day 10

 Day 10

    I am so sorry about not posting for a while, I haven't been feeling well and then my family went out of town. Instead of using one of my mom's PDFs, she has done, I made her Mystery Card Monday cards from this week and last week. For these cards, she gives general instructions and you pick whatever cardstock, DSP, and stamp set to make your own version of the cards. I used the Just My Type and Beautiful Balloons stamp sets. 

    The first card is a simple fun fold card, not the standard base measurements. I kept the whole card simple and gave this card to my husband for our anniversary. (We've been together 6 years and married for 3.5 years) 

    This second card has a lot going on, the DSP is what is coordinated with the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. Just a simple layering of paper and just some balloons on the inside. I think this card will be given to my husband as well, his birthday is on Saturday. 

All of my cards are always on sale, you can contact me at asciolla.emma@gmail.com for more information or find out how you can become a demonstrator, turn your passion for crafting into a business, or get a discount for your hobby. You can also shop at my store for your own supplies.

Mother/ Daughter Project Day 9 Beautiful Balloons

 Day 9

    These cards didn't really come out of a design from my mom. I picked the PDF I wanted to use, then picked the cardstock, DSP, and stamp set. These are the cards that came from choosing these products. I used Shimmery White, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, and Basic White cardstock. Then I decided to use the Gold Celebrations Specialty DSP, there are two sides, gold, and silver, and I chose to use the polka dots. I used Polished Pink, Fresh Fresia, Daffodil Delight (stamped off), and Momento ink. 

    For the first card, I wasn't really sure what I was going to do. Seethrough paper is hard to use, also the DSP isn't paper it's like flexible plastic and pretty thick. I cut the base to be 11 x 4 1/4 and scored it at 5 1/2. The first layer of cardstock is the same measurements 5 1/8 x 4. I have discovered with Vellum and DSP like this glue dots are the easiest to use. It sticks well and you can't see it. The balloons I fussy cut out instead of using the coordinating dies and twine for the string of the balloon. Also used glue dots to keep the string in place. 

    For my second card, I really wasn't sure what I was going to do. I thought I was going to do more but instead of using a color cardstock, I used Shimmery White, a matte layer of Tahitian Tide, and then stamped a party decoration scene. Since the DSP is seethrough I used the silver side this time and just placed it on top. As I looked at it after I put it all together I didn't think it needed more than that. The sentiment belonged on the inside and I just added a little confetti. 

Both of these cards were really simple and what I came up with. I really like this balloon set. It is always fun and festive. As always my cards are for sale. you can contact me: asciolla.emma@gmail.com

Mother/ Daughter Project Day 8 Apple Harvest

 Day 8

    I was feeling a bit Fall today. I decided to use the Apple Harvest stamp set with Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, and Basic White cardstock. I used an old retired DSP for these cards, 1 piece both sides. I kept the basic design again for these cards, they were very simple but I had to change a couple things because I didn't have the products. 

    For the first card, I kept it really simple, just layered it up, and used the Deckled Rectangles for the centerpiece. I used the "Thanks for your Kindness" sentiment, mostly because it was the only one that fit. Then I stamped and color the apple because when you are nice to a teacher you bring them an apple. 😊 I just stamped a few flowers on the inside and I really like the hatch work stamp. 

    For the second card, I kept the design but I used the old paper embossing folder for the Basic White layer. I used the matte layer of the DSP because it looked best with the Old Olive and the little bit of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I stamped the branch of apples and added the small flowers to fill in the white space. I colored the images in Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, and Pale Papaya. For the inside, I kept it simple and glued a piece of DSP to the cardstock. 

These cards were easy and fun. I enjoyed the fall feel because I am not enjoying the summer weather. My cards are always for sale and I will make personal cards as well. Contact me: asciolla.emma@gmail.com
