Thanksgiving Card by Jearise

Hello all my Cutter's Creek friends. I am getting into the Thanksgiving spirit even though I feel Halloween came and went to fast and I still have lots of Halloween ideas running through my head. I love sending out Thanksgiving cards to friends and family and that is what I would like to show you today.

All the paper is from the 6 x 6 paper pad from Remembrance by Authentique. You can inquire to Kim if you are interested in it. It's beautiful paper and lovely for cards.

I also used:

Stickles in Diamonds for the middle of the flowers and the border in the middle of the card.
Glimmer Mist in graphite metallic for the flowers to tone down the yellow and give them an aged look.
Cuddle Bug embossing folder for the embossed design.
Tim Holz Distress ink in ted dye color for the edges.
ATG glider to hold it all together.

Thank you for stopping by today and taking a peak at my Thanksgiving card. I really do appreciate it.

Breast Cancer Awareness Card by Jearise

This month is National Breast Cancer Awareness and we here at Cutter's Creek are promoting that and reminding all women to remember to get your yearly mammogram.

Today, for this special month, I have designed a card and would like to share with you my creation. A dear friend, who is a breast cancer survivor, asked me to make a special card for her and this is what I came up with.

The word HOPE stands for the hope that all women and families have that some day there will be a cure for all types of breast cancer. The hearts represent the love we have for those affected by cancer and the flowing ribbon in the background represents the bind between every families' love and hope: love for the one affected and hope for a cure.

Products used and where:

Scotch Quick-Dry adhesive to hold it all together
Perfect Pearls Mists in "forever red" on hearts and "pink gumball" on HOPE ribbon
Stickles in Cotton Candy on background ribbon
Tim Holtz Distress Ink in tea dye color for edges
6 x 6 paper pad called HONEY and from "the sweetest thing" by Jen Allyson for My Mind's Eye and Kim's 6 x 6 paper pad club. Email her about all her different clubs!

Thank you so much for joining me and until next time...Best of everything to you.

Christmas Card by Jearise

I know Christmas is still a few months away but I figured if I start making cards now, I might have them done in time this year. I usually put it off and then end up having to go buy cards or sending them out the first of the new year.

As you can see, I used non traditional colors for this card. 

Items from Cutter's Creek Store:
purple Stickles glitter glue for my star 

Perfect Pearls Mists in Kiwi for the background
Provocraft Cuddebug Embossing folder - Swiss Dots also for background

Authentique 6 x 6 paper pad - Renew used for yellow background (part of the 6 x 6 paper pad club so email Kim if interested)
Tim Holtz Distress ink pad - Frayed Burlap used to soften the yellow background paper
Inkssentials Ink Blending Foam 10/Pkg  used to dispense distress ink on background

ATG used to put the card together

Thanks for stopping by today.

Nativity Card

Hi!  With Christmas right around the corner, I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with the daily schedule my family has and have been dreading making my cards this year.  I found myself trying to find alternatives to my usual elaborate cards as I just don't have the time with an active infant trying to crawl everywhere!

Here is a very simple Christmas Card I made using scraps found in my paper drawer with an SVG image I found here.  I love all of his designs and they are so versatile with every project I have been making lately.  I than used my cutting machine to cut out the base, the star and the nativity scene.  

I adhered the star to my base and ran it through my Big Shot with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder and than used a file to make the white stand out a little more.  I used clear mounting tape to place my image for a 3D effect.  I thought about lining up the image with the green star, but I found I liked the layered look better.  I think it makes it pop a little more.  For the final touch, I added Liquid Pearls for the star.

thanks for looking!

A Birthday Card by Chris

All the papers for this card are from Graphic 45’s Little Darlings. Used my ATG to adhere the blue base. I then used the largest die from Spellbinders Blossom Four and edged it with Tattered Rose Distress Inks. To give the flower a bit of depth I ran it through my Big Shot in the Whimsy M Bossabilities embossing folder and glued it down. Then I made the Happy Birthday sentiment, first cutting the paper with my Cuttlebug Embossing Plus Fanciful Labels folder, then inking (again with Tattered Rose), and embossing the sentiment with WOW! Suzy West Pantry Collection—Blueberry. This label is raised up on Glue Dots Pop Up Dots. A bit of lace trims the bottom.

I fussy cut an image from two sheets of Graphic 45 Little Darlings. I used one as a base and the other cut out parts that would give the image some dimension, using ASI (Kool Tak) 3D Foam on a Roll. Her bow is embossed with WOW! Embossing Glitter—Angel Wings. (I just love this color and sparkle!). To finish the card off I took apart some old flowers and rebuilt them with a pearl in the center. Petals and pearl were glued with Glossy Accents. Two punched butterflies edged with Tattered Rose and a touch of Spica Gold on the bodies and the card is done.
