Merry & Bright Christmas to You from Creative Impressions!

Creative Impressions Felt Shapes make creating a simple, fun card pack a punch!  

I stamped a Christmas tag with a My Sentiments Exactly red rubber stamp.  I used a Perfect Ink pen to dab the word "Merry" and sprinkled red embossing powder.  A "merry & bright" banner is secured with one white mini brad.  The background is created with the same tag stamp, clear embossing ink, and clear embossing powder.

Wishing you a merry & bright Christmas,

The Creative Impressions Design Team

The Joy of Christmas

A darling Christmas card for you today from guest designer Jan Weideman.

The pretty background reminds one of a brilliant winter sunrise.  Swirl ribbon suggests the swirling, falling snowflakes.  A few of the snowflakes are popped out for dimension.

This is an elegant Christmas card yet easy enough to make a dozen on a cozy winter afternoon!

Thanks, Jan!

HI! from Creative Impressions

I've filed this one under "Why Didn't I Think of This??"

How adorable is this idea? Guest designer Jan Frances is on deck again this time with another winner!  Super cute alphabet clear stamp set with the letters H & I highlighted.  Add a felt blossoms flower with a bling center and you're all set.

Couldn't be simpler and sure to bring a smile to the face of the recipient!

Happy Day!

 I'm making faux flowers again and this time with Creative Impressions Thin Jute twine.  There are lots of color options.  I found a couple of YouTube videos to create these fun flowers, which I'll share below.

So many options for your flower centers on these cuties!

I always have a bit of cheesecloth handy to add a subtle layer behind resin buttons.

The button is tied with some white embroidery thread.

White resin button and a touch of bling!

You can use this technique with Bakers Twine, too.  The flower centers are very pretty and the stitching is easy to make even and neat.

The leaf is just a snip of jumbo ric rak, folded over & stapled.

Wishing you a creative and happy day!

(I found this one created a prettier flower but took a little more practice to master.
The second one is easier and if you add a flower center, looks pretty much the same.)
