Traditional Christmas Loaded Envelope

Have you tried the Loaded Envelope yet?  Gosh, I just love them.  This one was for a swap over at the Loaded Envelopes Galore facebook group.  I plan on making more of these to send to my family for Christmas.  They are filled with tags, gift toppers, and stationary types of things to use on your gifts.  To see whats inside, I included my video below showing the dies used and a view of the tags and cards inside.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Wild Rose Studio Easel Card

Here's a Shabby Chic Easel Card that was created using a Wild Rose Studio Stamp.  Having Pink for Christmas is another one of my loves!!!  Here's a quick run down on the dies on this card starting from the top:
The half blue circle at the top-Marianne Die
Merry Christmas Sentiment-Wild Rose Studio popped up on Spellbinders circles
The Star/Snowflake to the left-Marianne Die
The pinecones-Tim Holts with Marianne Die pine needles
Snowflakes-Martha Stewart Punch
Snowflake Border-Wild Rose Studio Die
Bow-Susan Wilson Die
The borders around the card are a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Punch
There's a little bit of burlap and corrugated card board used for lots of texture.  I am "wild" about Wild Rose Studio stamps.   They have just about the cutest Christmas stamps I have ever seen and their Snowmen are precious.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting!

Winter Wonderland Loaded Envelope

Hello Crafty Friends! This is a Winter Wonderland Loaded Envelope for practice....of course....it's my first one!!!  I loved doing it.  Please check out the Loaded Envelopes Galore Facebook page by Ana Elda Torres for swaps and ideas! These are a lot of fun to make.

This loaded envelope is going to a non-paper crafting friend.  It's loaded with stationery type things to use on presents-like tags, cards, and decorations.  My love for deer/forest/snow themed crafting is carrying over with me this year.....lol  If that is appealing to you as well, I suggest you check out the Ice Crystals paper pad at Michael's this year for inspiration.  It's just full of beautiful dear, ice blue colors, and snowflakes!

HaHa.....check out this owl, isn't he cute!!!  Oh my gosh, I fell in love with him.  He's supposed to be a tree ornament, but I got something up my sleeve with him.  Just in case your wondering, he came from Hobby Lobby.  This is the card I made to go with my loaded envelope.  Don't you just love how everything coordinates!  If you are interested in seeing whats included inside the envelope, what brand dies used, and more detailed looks; please see the video below.  Until next time friends, Happy Crafting!
