Merry Monday # 189

 I made the above card for this week's challenge at Merry Monday...

This week the challenge is to make a ONE LAYER CARD.  Yikes!  One of the most difficult cards for me to make.  So it was a challenge!  In my years of card making, I probably have only made about three One layer cards.  

My card was made using a stamp that came along with my "Make Christmas cards magazine" that I purchased two years ago.  The magazine is on the expensive side but it came with two sets of stamps, designer paper, and stickers.  It also has lots of cards ideas to give you inspiration to use the products that came with their magazine.  So far, I have made about 30 Christmas cards using this magazine for inspiration.  So I think that I have gotten my money's worth!  smile. 

 These are a couple more of the cards I have made using the same magazine.

Christmas Cards that I made Part 3

This is the last batch of the cards I made using the Make Christmas cards magazine.
As I said in an earlier post, I mostly used papers and ideas from the magazine to make
the cards.  (added a few supplies from my stash)  I also made more cards but in my struggle to get my cards completed and get them in the mail...there were many cards that I forgot to photograph.

May your days be merry and your heart be light;
Your holidays happy and your season bright!

More Christmas cards that I made...

I made most of these Christmas cards using design papers and casing some ideas that were in the Make Christmas Cards Magazine (2013 edition)

I admit pink isn't usually the color I grab for first when I make Christmas cards!  smile.
But I liked the idea of having something that was sort of out of the box for me.
And Using the magazine made it easier for me to get my cards finished.


Wishing you Blessing this season.

Still working on my Christmas cards

I'm still trying to finish up my Christmas cards.  I was really struggling to find motivation to get them done.  Then I remembered my Christmas magazines that I had purchased a while back and still had not used the free papers, stamps and stickers that came with the magazines.  I also like the fact that there are some nice card ideas too on how to use the papers, etc.  (I need all the help I can get these days...smile)  Some of my cards are pretty much a direct case from the magazine and some I created on my own.  I have at least a dozen more card pictures that I can post.  (So I am finally on a roll)  I'll try to post more tomorrow.

  The magazine that I used for the above cards was "Make Christmas Cards!  Christmas 2013 issue.
