Christmas Magic

Merry Christmas!  

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful Holiday with your loved ones today.

We were going to see some family today, but due to some winter stormy weather, we decided to play it safe and stay home.

I made two different cards this time.  The cards shown here were part of my Christmas cards that I made to send to friends and family this year.  I love the feel of them and the none traditional colors.  And the glitter!!

I hope you get to spend some time crafting over the weekend after the family fun and all the yummy food.

Happy New Year and I will see you in 2016!

Hugs, Heidi

It's Heidi here with you today. 

 It's only 2 weeks till Christmas, can you believe that? 

 I have been wrapping presents and baked some cookies but there is still so much to be done.  I still have a ton of Christmas Cards to make.  So I cranked up the Christmas tunes and got to work. 

I love this little snowman.  He is so cute and was fun to color.  I didn't want him to be plain, so I used a pale pink and blue to make him stand out a bit more.  Then colored his hat and nose in bright colors. I used some velvet rick rack, a felt snowflake and some pink striped ribbon.  The ribbon reminds me of those yummy ribbon candies that my great grandma would always have in her candy dish when I was a young girl.  I also used some Tim Holtz tinsel that I just love and now I need to get more because of how cute this turned out.  I plan to make a few more of these for my card stash.  

Here is a list of everything I used:

Vintage Christmas Card

Happy Day After Thanksgiving!  I have been so excited to share this card today.  It was so much fun to make.  I hope you take some time off from your shopping today and make a card or two also!

Maybe you can get all those cards made that you want to send to friends and family this year!

This card makes me think of Christmas Vacation, my favorite Christmas movie ever!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Heidi

Used to make this card:

Just For Fun Stamps:

F3510 Getting The Tree

D2568 Happy Holidays

I used white paper that I made the same width as the card itself and I tore the edges to make it look like snow peaks, then covered just the torn part with glue and sprinkled with glitter.  Once those were dry, I stacked them on top of each other and taped them down to my background.

I used Archival Jet Black Ink and Stampin' Up Tempting Turquoise

I used distress markers to color my car and tree and people.

I used Stikels in Red to go around my Happy Holidays that I cut in half.

I attached the car and sentiment to the card with foam mounting tape.

I used Wink Of Stella for the headlights and chrome on the car to make it shinny.

Falling Leaves Card

Happy Fall everyone!  It's hard to believe we are almost halfway through November already.  This time of year goes by so fast.  Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. I wanted to make a card for Thanksgiving this year.  I don't always make a card for this time of year, but the pretty colors and the crisp air has been wonderful this year and I thought I would make some cards to take to my family.

When I step out my front door every morning I see this  tree in our yard with warm purple, burgundy and orange colors, so that was my inspiration for this card.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and get to make some fun cards for Thanksgiving.

Hugs, Heidi

Halloween Night Card

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday and Happy almost Halloween!  Heidi here with a fun Halloween Night card.  I had a lot of fun working on this card.  I even made some stencils with punches I have.  I started out using my circle punch to make my full moon.  I then used it to make some "cloud" like stencils.  I sponged on my colors and then let them dry.  I then went back with white and sponged more to make it look like fog and clouds.  Then I used my Versa Ink pad and stamped my webs- D3480 Classic Web, and used white embossing powder.  Then I stamped my D3455 Shake Rattle & Roll guy with Jet Black Archival ink and let it dry.  Then stamped again with a Versa Mark just slightly off from the original stamped image.  I embossed it with gold. Next, I stamped AA3424 Tiny Witch on a Broom in my moon.  I used A3504 Beware and punched the side with my Bat Punch.  After it was all dry, I used Stickles and Wink of Stella to add some sparkle.  I hope you get inspired to use your Just For Fun stamps and make a fun Halloween Card!

Hope you have a safe and fun Halloween.  

Hugs,

Heidi

Happy Autumn Card & Autumn Blessing Tag

Hi everyone!  This is my first blog post for Just For Fun Stamps.  I am super excited to be sharing my fun creations with you all.  Today I have made for you an Autumn duo.  I used the Fashion Warbler Small stamp for both of these projects.  I also used the Happy Autumn stamp for the card.  I will provide you with full details at the end of this post.
I don't know about everyone else, but fall is my most favorite time of year.  I love the crisp air and the changing colors.  So I wanted to use the fall colors and the bird stamp because they are just friendly and inviting like fall is.  I hope you enjoy these projects and that they inspire you to make something fun for fall.
Happy Autumn!
Heidi

Happy First Day of Summer!

Hi everyone!
It's been a while.  Lots of crazy stuff happening here.  I am working full time now and enjoying my job.  I am crafting on the weekends and taking on line painting classes in the evenings.

Have a wonderful Father's Day and enjoy the summer!
