New Christmas Cards

The image for this card is not from The Graphics Fairy, but most of the images on the following cards are.  I have to say I was very surprised to find this image on the first pages of a paper pack from The Paper Studio called Holiday Wonder.   The trim on the tree is some of the AWESOME bling I won from Want 2 Scrap.  The base cardstock is from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions.

This time the image is from The Graphics Fairy , you can find almost anything you would want on Karen's website.  The lace is some I found at a garage sale and the ribbon was some I bought somewhere on sale.  The half pearls are also from Want 2 Scrap.  The base paper is from The Paper Studio Greetings of the Season. An EK Success border punch was used on some vineyard cardstock from CTMH and layered on CTMH Topiary cardstock.

An image from The Graphics Fairy is the centerpiece of this card.  It is layered on cardstock from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby during a 50% sale, the lace is more found at a garage sale.  The pearls are from Want 2 Scrap.
The sleigh was cut on my cricut with the Christmas Cheer cart.  The CTMH Poinsettia stamp is stamped with VersaMark stamp pad and heat embossed using gold embossing powder on CTMH Vineyard cardstock.  The doily was purchased at Wal-Mart.  The pearls in the center of each poinsettia are from Want 2 Scrap.  The green ribbon was purchased on sale somewhere.



Foil paper is from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions and the images are from The Graphics Fairy layered on CTMH cardstock.  A Merry stamp from Studio g using CTMH Topiary stamp pad.
The pearl swirl is from Want 2 Scrap. 

The Santa Claus is from The Graphics Fairy fussy cut and layered on white cardstock for contrast.  The Merry Christmas stamp is from Studio g stamped in CTMH Cranberry.  The base cardstock is CTMH cranberry.  The gems in the corner are from Want 2 Scrap. 

The cardstock is from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions and Greetings of the Season.  The sentiment is stamped on vellum and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  The gems are from Want 2 Scrap.


Paper is from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions and the image is from The Graphics Fairy .
Pretty and simple.

Another image from The Graphics Fairy and paper from The Paper Studio Greetings of the Season.  The beautiful pearl swirl  and green half pearls are from Want 2 Scrap.

An image from The Graphics Fairy, paper from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions, half pearls from Want 2 Scrap to make this card with ribbon from Hobby Lobby and a Martha Stewart corner punch.

A little change. :)  The paper is from The Paper Studio Holiday Wonder and Greetings of the Season.  I used a paper punch from Stampin' Up to punch out 3 ornaments and adhered them together to make a 3D ornament.  The pearls and gems on the ornaments are from Want 2 Scrap.  The line of pearls above the 3D ornament is from Recollections.  The sentiment is from TPC and stamped in CTMH cranberry.

The pretty star in the center of this card was found at a garage sale and I thought it would make the perfect centerpiece for a card.  The background paper is from The Paper Studio Jolly Holiday Scrapbook Kit.  The ribbon is some I had on hand.

You can tell that I love the images from The Graphics Fairy and if you have not checked out this website yet, please do, you will find something you like.  I purchase a lot of my paper from Hobby Lobby when it is 50% off and The Paper Studio has some beautiful paper that is just right for my projects.  I will be making a lot more Christmas cards and will try to post them before Christmas is here, but no promises.  Merry Christmas to all and hope you will have many Blessings during this season.
