three for thursday

By Suzanne

I am getting the hang of making cards with chipboard and stickers after last night’s crafting session, so here are three of my creations using Echo Park’s Season’s Greetings Collection:

The cardstock bases are Vintage Cream from Papertrey Ink and the bells and seam binding ribbon were a wonderful present from Renee, but you can find the bells at pretty much any craft store and Ribbon Carousel sells seam binding ribbon as well. The red bling is from Recollections and the red twine is from Ribbon Carousel.

The red and green plaid is one of my most favorite papers ever! I added some gold Martha Stewart glitter to the stars on top of the trees on this next card:

That’s it for today! How are your Christmas cards coming along? I am hoping to get way more done this Saturday at a get-together with Jessica Davis and Christina MacLaren…I absolutely cannot wait!

three for thursday

Jessica and I got together again last night, as we have been doing on Wednesdays. I always struggle with what to pack with me when it’s my turn to go to her house. Last night I tossed all my Echo Park Season’s Greetings into a bag with some scissors and adhesive and headed out knowing that I would plan what I was going to make once I got there.

After I was done with my cards, I realized that this may be a great way for me to start using up my paper packs…afterall, how else could I justify buying more? LOL! So Three for Thursday is going to be my attempt to share what I make on our Wednesday nights and to motivate me to use more of my supplies.

But I must say I am a bit disappointed that today is the day my camera didn’t want to cooperate, so these pics were taken with my phone… :(

Here are three of my cards from last night…I gotta say, not using any stamps was sorta challenging, but I do love the ease of using chipboard and stickers!

The ribbons on these cards are both from Ribbon Carousel. They’re the Olive Satin Center Band Ribbon and the Red Grosgrain Satin Edge Ribbon. They’re also celebrating their new website with a 15% off coupon code: NEWBLOG. :)

Hope you enjoyed these!
