Mixed Media!

I don't know why, but for some reason, every winter I get my mixed media supplies out and start playing again.  Maybe it is because I have more time with no Gardening and things to do outside.

It took me a couple of days but I finished this Christmas card, which I may just keep for myself.

I used the cricut and some CTMH products for this but I also used Lyndy's sprays and some Tim Holtz paints.  I just ordered a bunch of products from the Ranger inks website, (you have to love those 40% off sales) so that will hold my interest for a while!

Keep your eyes open for some more mixed media projects.

I may put a little something in the left hand corner, but other than that, I really like it!

Have a nice crafty day

November Stamp of the month!

Happy Monday!  It is November 26th and Here in Mason Michigan we are getting about 6 inches of snow.  I need to get out to the store for the Cyber Monday sale!  Arrrrg!  Since I have retired, I absolutely hate driving in the snow.  Oh well you have to do it to get those deals , right???

I wanted to show you a card that I have made with the Close to my Heart Stamp of the Month!  This is one of the nicest stamp sets and it is only $5 with a $50 order or you can buy it out right for $18.95.  Either way, it is a must have.  So beautiful!  If you take a look, see all those cute little things you can hang on the trees!

Get yours here:  paperdivas.ctmh.com.

I just love this set and here is a Christmas card I made with it.

The trees are done with 3rd generation stamping.  You stamp once with the stamp inked and then two more times without adding ink.

Well, my Hubby is out snow blowing the drive and I am hoping the snow plow will come through before I am ready to go to the store.

Enjoy the rest of your November.  You might see another post before the end of the month!

Happy card making,

Ronda

Tis the Season

Well here it is November already and it is getting cold outside!  We already had a little snow here in mid-Michigan!  It is that time of year to start making Christmas cards!  This year I am going to make all of mine, which is about 50 out of the Close to my Heart Tis the Season paper pack.

There are so many beautiful papers in this pack that I can not wait to get started.  If you see something that you like and would like to purchase some already made or card kits, just let me know by sending an email to rondaladuke@outlook.com.  I would be happy to help you out!

Here are some pictures of the paper pack and some other accessories I will be using.

This one here with the pine cones is my favorite paper.  It looks so beautiful with our new Candy Apple paper!  It is the color on all of these sheets.  It is such a nice bright red!

 This is all of the papers in the pack together.

 This is the new Candy Apple Red paper with some of the other items I will be using.  The snow flakes and buttons come in the WYW pack or you can purchase them separately!   Then I have the Tinsel twine and our new Red Pearls along with the Merry Christmas scroll stamp.

 These next two are the compliments pack which also comes in the WYW or can be sold separately.  The details in these are just amazing.

 Here are two more pieces of the paper.  The snow flake one is the back side of the garland piece and the other two are one piece back and front.  I can't wait to do a layout with the garland sheet!

 Two more pieces, front and back!

 Here is a close up of out cut apart sheet.  I see at least 5 cards being made out of this and you get two sheets so all you need is some cardstock to layer with and you have at least 10 cards done so quickly!

This is a new Thin Cut Die we have and I can't believe it is not sold out yet.  I will be cutting bunches of these in glitter paper.

Well now that you have seen some of the beautiful products I will be working with, maybe you should head over to my website and purchase some yourself.  paperdivas.ctmh.com.  In a week or so, I will make a post of all the beautiful things I have made with these products.  So come back and take a look and get your supplies so I can share my ideas with you!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hugs,

Ronda
