I know you may not be ready to see more Christmas cards...

But I am so happy that Diane...of Diane's Country cards

http://ahlers5.blogspot.com/ 

 told me about the On going challenge at Splitcoast stampers to make Christmas cards all year long.  (Then I won't panic as much at Christmas when all my cards aren't done)

This Month's challenge is to make Christmas cards with food and/or sweets on the card! 

I  made my card using images from Paperwishes.com.

I fussy cut the images and put them on a side step card. I used some Glossy accents on some of them.  Stamped a sentiment using Sweet and Sassy stamp.

Side Step Card

I found the instructions to make this side step card here...

https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/sidestepcard/

This is one of my favorite folds.  I have lost count as to how many cards I have made with this fold.

I again used my same "Hot of the press" designer paper (Charming)  One thing you may have figured out if you've seen any of my last eight cards.     Is that, I like to make cards using designer paper.
Considering how much designer paper I have left in my craft room.  I could probably make cards with it till about 2030?

I used three dies on this card all made by Impressions Obsession.  bench die 244-H,
Dog die 142-J
Tree die-084V.  I also added an embellishment from Graphic 45,  and some twine,

Glitter Card

I'm still showing some of the cards I made using my pack of "Hot off the Press" Designer Paper that I purchased from Paper Wishes.  (It's called Charming)

I like Glitter Cards...but I do not like the mess.  When I made this card I not only had glitter all over the table, I had it on the floor,  my hands, and on my face...(which my hubby noticed!   and told me!)  I also had it in my hair.   Usually, I like to work with glitter in the spring and summer when I can work outside with it at my picnic table (as long as it not too windy...smile)  But it has just been too hot to do that right now.  

I did the double glitter technique on this card...and I made my rose using a metal stencil made by Dreamweaver.  My lace I made using a die from SweetNSassy.

Tea bag folded card...

Well It looks like I did remember how to post after all this time...so I decided to go ahead post again today...and finally post a card.

For Christmas this past year, I purchased some designer paper from Paper wishes.  I purchased a 12 pack of paper for each of my weekly crafting buddies, and while I was at it.  I purchased a 12 piece paper pack  for me.

  I challenged myself to see how long it would take me to use up the whole pack of paper, and to see how many different card folds I could make with this paper.  So you are going to see a lot of the cards I have made lately   USING THE SAME PAPER!  Good thing I liked the paper...smile.  It's paper wishes, Charming pack.  

My card is was made using the tea bag folding technique.  The Dahlia fold.

mftstamps (Die-namics)  I stamped my sentiment with Gray Flannel Memento Ink, using a stamp from Stampendous.  My butterfly and rose is a "Collect able" from Kaisercraft!

Twisted Pop Up Card

I have been seeing this card fold all over Pinterest for a while now.  So you know I had to try one of these card folds.  I will be honest with you and tell you that It took me a while to figure out out to do one.  It took watching a U Tube video and looking at a tutorial at Split Coast stampers till I finally figured it out.  Now I am addicted to these cards.  I have some more of these cards completed just haven't photographed them yet.

Here's the one tutorial that helped me  (along with a Utube video that I watched.

My Designer paper that I used was purchased at Paperwishes.

Card Night

Last week I attended a card night at a local church.  These three cards were made there.  They were put together by me...but designed by the girl in charge of  card night.

My third card would probably qualify for Darnell's next challenge "hop" that she will be hosting on her blog on April 1st  (Yes April Fools Day!)

You can read about it here..

 http://www.djkardkreations.com/2016/03/lets-play-boo-boo-on-april-fools-day.html

I hope that the extra heart that I put on my card does NOT look too much out of place.   Smile.   It is hiding a BOO BOO, a big blob of black ink that does NOT belong there.   (I have to admit that I have done that way too many times).

The above card, is the fourth card that I put together on card night, I told the girl in charge that I would be willing to show how to make the side step card base, and made up a sample for her.
Anyone looking at my blog for a while, would probably know that it is definitely my favorite card fold.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Thank you for stopping by my blog

I cased my own cards...

Yes,  I decided to try and case some of my own cards...
So you may remember seeing me post  cards similar to these  two before.
I did try and change them up a bit.

 Click on cards to enlarge

Made this card using papers from Paper Wishes.  I added some dimensionals to pop up my center image and some stickles.

I used the instructions from here to make the Center fold card.

I also used paper from Paper wishes for this card.  I used some dies from Stampin' Up  to make the button embellishments.  My hubby colored the butterfly for me with copics.  My "Hello" greeting was cut using a die from Elizabeth craft designs.
