Christmas Card Making Time!!

This is one of my favorite crafting times of year- Christmas Card

Crafting time and snowy fun crafting. 

This is a card I created using an SVG file and CutCardStock then I

pie their glitter card stock behind it and added some punched snowflakes.

I also added gemstones and studs for more dimension.

I love how simple and elegant it looks.

It's just the beginning! Here we come Christmas season!!!

Xyron, Maya Road BLOG HOP!

Welcome to the Xyron & Maya Road blog fest this week, 

check out the cool prizes they are giving away and my project today! :) 

These are my very vintage mixed media cards I created using MR and Xyron. 

I am going to give a quick rundown of how I created these. 

If you make cards and DO NOT have a Xyron 9" Creative Station

trust me YOU NEED ONE! Like now...it makes card making so easy I love it. 

 Trim patterned paper to 4.5X6" Trim cork paper to 4X5.5" and use

Xyron 9" Creative Station to layer papers. 

In fact I fold my card base and run it right through my Xyron 9" Creative Station

so the cover on the cards sticks evenly and perfectly every single time. 

 Using Maya Road Canvas Coaster Album stamp sentiment onto

canvas itself. Using Xyron Adhesive Dots adhere canvas coaster

to front of card. 

 Layer on Maya Road Vintage Lace Tape, 

then adhere Maya Road Vintage Burlap Rose using Xyron Adhesive Dots.

 Use Xyron Clear Hold Adhesive to adhere Maya Road Metal Vintage

 Love Clip to front of card.

 See?? Xyron really does make adhesive for EVERY project and every medium. 

 Be sure to head to the Xyron blog and check out the prizes and

3 Card Of Encouragement

Good morning friends, 

I have a few projects to share and a warning, I will be leaving Friday and won't

be back until next Saturday with  no internet or phone, so my blog will be ON VACATION! :O 

I hope you will come back when I do :) 

My first card is the lighthouse image from Enjoy the Journey with 

the Let Your Light Shine sentiment, I cannot wait to share this card with a friend.
I used Xyron Double Sided tape for the glitter strip. 

My next card I used the cute tennis shoes and stamped them onto cork

paper and added twine- perfect for an encouragement note. 

And this last card I used the Enjoy The Journey set but I also added

The sweet turtles from the Takin' It Slow mini set.

Aren;t these amazing stamps?? I love them! :) 

Xyron, Simple Stories And May Arts FUN!

I usually have a tutorial for my projects but this time I am going on vacation 

so I decided to make it short and sweet. 

For this project I used my Xyron 9" Creative station to adhere

the papers to the Tri-Fold Frame, Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine 

paper and embellishments. 

 The Xyron Clear Hold Adhesive to hold the May Arts 3 Mill Diamond Chain 

in place, and Xyron Adhesive Dots to pop up the stickers. 

 Then I tied it together using the 3/8" May Arts Satin Reversible Ribbons.
