Hello,
Sharing two quick but beautiful Christmas cards.
This one used Stampin' Up! Lovely As a Tree stamp set.
I ran some glue around the trees and sprinkled with some glitters. I like the result.
This one also used SU stamp set called Pattern Pine (retired).
I also ran some glue at the bottom to make it look like snow. I like this one too.
Thanks for stopping by.

Fabric Flowers Pin
Good Morning,
I finally took out my Stampin' Up! flower fold die and made these fabric pins that I saw all over the blog land a while ago.
I used the two smallest flowers on the die. I don't have many buttons or brad so I made the fabric buttons for the flower center except for the blue one.
To make the fabric cover button:
Just a small piece of fabric scrap. I dabbed a little hot glue so the button stayed in place.
cut around the button like this
stitches it and pull the stitch together
flip the button over and there you got the coordinated button. I used hot glue to glue the button to the flower center. Sorry the last picture didn't come out so good but you got the idea.
I am going to link this to Make It Monday.
Thanks for looking.

Altered Square Paper Mache
Good Morning,
I think I went through stages. First, it was the origami. Then it was the quilling. Next, it was the string art and now I am at the altered stage. After I altered those tin cans, I thought I will try the square paper mache boxes.
I love them!
I tried to cover the entire box but it was very difficult and it look tacky. So I just leave the corners and I didn't cover the box base all the way because then I couldn't close the lid. The box size is 4 x 4 x 2H.
For the big rose, I used Tim Holt Tattered Florals die cut. I used the two smallest flowers. I followed the same instruction as I used here.
I am entering is to the following challenges:
Anything Goes - emboss it week 24
Crafty Little Place - alter it
My Time To Craft - with a window
Critter Sketch Challenge blog - Texture
Fairytale - everything goes
Aifactory challenges - die cut
Cute card - anything goes
little paper shop blog - die cut
Thanks for visiting.

Jacket Cards
Good morning!
I made these awhile ago. CAS (copy and share) this from here. Mine didn't come out as nice as her
so I made another one
I didn't know why these two cards were so hard to take picture. I took many pictures and they were all crooked and blurred so I gave up.
Have a lovely weekend!
