Cuttlebug Tree and Ornament

I LOVE how this card turned out! I used the "Cord-in-nations" core paper (its paper that you sand and has a different color inside), ran it thru my Cuttlebug with the tree embossing folder,punched out a circle, sponged Pretty In Pink on it, stamped the snowflake from from SU Snow Swirled using Rose Red, added a "real" wire ornament hanger, a bow, and I have a finished card! I have to make more of these, Ithink these might be my Christmas card this year!

Sorry I have been MIA again, I was in a swap and had 3 different ones to finish, they are going out today, and I didn't take photos!!! Oh well, I will have plenty more to share after Thanksgiving!

Larger View of The Ornament Card

I wanted to show a larger view of the ornament card I did, mentioned below. The ornament, I punched out a reverse mask using the new SU large circle punch, sponged Riding Hood Red on it and then stamped (with the mask still in place), I used my SU Stampa-ma-jig to get the ornament "hanger" placed where I wanted it.....like I said I cased this and have the link in the post below. You need to go to Julie's blog, as she has fantastic idea's!

Upcoming Workshop Projects

I have a workshop on Dec 1st and because of Thanksgiving I need to get it all ready to go. I am a last minute girl and should have had this well planned out before now! I spent the morning on SCS looking for idea's as the girls wanted to make something other then just cards, which is okay, but I have to take in consideration the "time factor"!

I decided on the snowman kisses using the TicTacs (cased)as it is so cute, a photo wallet that I had previously made for myself and a card I cased from here I LOVE this idea and had so much fun making it, though I smeared my ink and will have to redo it, not a tragedy as it was fast, fun and rewarding!

The photo wallet, the pictures of the little girls, well they are 14 and 16 now!!
