More Prince of Peace card designs

 Here are the remaining cards that I said I would post using the 

"Prince of Peace" single stamp.

Unfortunately, I am not to happy with the picture quality. So I apologize for them looking a little "funky". They are really much prettier in person.

Although,they were all photographed in the same setting, using the same camera and the same lighting. I guess the paper difference caused the difference in exposure quality.

I will not be re-listing the products used in this post. 

They were made using the same product in my 

previous post with the exception of Bermuda Bay CS and ink, 

Coastal Cabanna CS and ink on these two cards.

Have a great weekend. I'm going to FINALLY put up some Christmas 

decorations today. I'ts a good thing I leave them up until Jan. 6th or

I would never get to enjoy them!

Stay CRAFTY! BERNADETTE

Prince of Peace

 

Today is the last of my Christmas cards.  I hadn't used this stamp until yesterday.  Can I say, I LOVE it. It speaks of all that belongs to the Savior I serve and the reason for the season. I did create 6 other cards using this stamp and will put them up on my blog sometime this weekend.

Gift Card Trio

Today I will be showcasing three Gift Card holders I made recently.

Yes, I know, there have been many of these floating around 

for months by other demonstrators. 

So, there is really nothing new here except my on "spin" on them.

I tend not to create something until I need it, bad I know. 

"Tis the season" that I needed these, thus the lateness of posting the ideas. 

 Hopefully they will be of some inspiration to you, 

especially if you tend to be a procrastinator like I am!

*All the products used will be listed at the bottom. If you would

like the measurements on any of these projects, you can email me at:

bernadettebliss@gmail.com 

 The first two were made using the Envelope Punch Board 133774 by SU.

What a handy tool this is. There are some very creative demonstrators out there who have gone beyond using this just to create envies.

I'm so thankful for them being so willing to share their talent.

 This particular card opens just the reverse of many that have been  created. 

I liked it because it was a little different. 

* inspired by Katina Martinez* 

This particular one is cut using a 5 1/2 x 51/2 inch piece of DSP. It will allow you to create 4 gift card holders out of one 12x12 inch sheet of DSP. The solid insert is used to hold a gift card with a glue dot.  

On the back you can add a sentiment if you like.

*inspired by Patty Bennett*

I choose this Gift Card because it will hold either cash or a check. I did tweek my measurements a little so it would accommodate a check since I don't send cash in the mail.

Christmas Blessings

I had a few days of being down and resting. I developed a cold and it knocked me out for a few days. Although I had 3 doctors appointments, a dinner to make for the tree crew at church and working the Christmas Tree lot, creating a card was not high on my  TO DO list this week.

That, of course, made getting a card up on Friday not happen. Today I'm in my Studio B playing catch up. Linda over at Stamping School had a great, easy Christmas card up today. Just what I needed to get back into my CREATING GROOVE...

I did tweak it just a little bit. 

I added the Frosted Finishes Embellishments 132150 and made a bow 
using the Silver 1/8" Ribbon 132137.

A real classy looking card that can be made fairly quickly in an assembly line fashion if you need quite a few. I know at this point in the month, this is something I can really use!

SU PRODUCTS USED
