 For this card I used 4 different Ephemera sets from Gecko Galz.  The Carolers with the sentiment are from the  Christmas Chic collection,  the music sheet tucked behind it is from the Alter Me Collection,   all the papers except the navy blue border sheets are from Grandma's House Paper Collection.  I love how the red and pink are the exactly right shades to be used together, that is what I really loved about the coordinating set, I never would attempt to mix the 2 colors together on my own.   The button is from Gecko Galz Happy Holidays Jewel Collection ,
I made it with the I Top Brad maker and I mounted it onto a lace flower from Pizzazz Aplenty.  
 I used my Perfect Layers square and rulers to get the nice navy borders.  
I think this will be it for a while on Christmas cards, I will switch back again after I make some Halloween cards.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Gecko Galz Christmas Release # 5

Today I am showing you some 3 3/4" x 2 1/4" gift card boxes I made with Gecko Galz Happy Holidays Jewel Collection.  These are actually sized for dominoes, but I made these instead.  They were really easy to make, I printed them on glossy photo paper then glued them down with my Art Glitter Glue dries clear.  I added Stickles to all of them except the Jolly Santa that is trimmed in red glitter.
I also made these 22mm brads with the same Gecko Galz Happy Holidays Jewel Collection setThe Jewel it sets come as a 2 page digital image pack sized to fit dominoes/slides and poker chips and bottlecaps.  I added them as embellishments to some of my cards, I love how they came out.  These were also printed on a glossy photo paper, I thought that would be easier than adding the Crystal Effects.  I used my I Top brad maker punch and tool on these also. 
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Gecko Galz October Guest Artist

This month I have the honor of being the Guest Artist for Gecko Galz, this is also the month of their Christmas release.  So I have had the opportunity to work with the most beautiful papers and ephemera sets.  For this card I used the Grandma's House Paper collection  along with this image from page 2 of the Chic Christmas collection.  The sweet little button is from the Jewel It collection Happy Holidays, perfect for this 22mm brad I made with the I -Top.  I maintained the perfect frame alignment using my Perfect Layers square and rulers using the 1/16th measurement.
I must confess, the most difficult part of card making for me has always been choosing the papers.  This is the first time I have ever worked with a complete collection like this and I love it!  It was so easy to choose papers because they were already selected to be in the right color family for me!  I printed out all the papers and the sets and it was so much fun to choose multiple papers that were all coordinated to go together with each other and with the images!  Even I could not go wrong with this set ha ha!  I will be posting all of the fun Christmas things I made with this collection in the next few weeks, I think you will love these sets as much as I do!
On a more personal note my sciatica is better and we have finally finished the floors!  I am still unpacking and trying to organize my craft room, I am almost settled in to my new space.  I should be able to get back to my regular posting again, I have really missed all of you.  I truly appreciate all the well wishes here and through emails you have sent me, it has meant so much to me.  I hope to catch up on your blogs too, I am sorry I fell behind.  Thanks for looking and thanks for not giving up on me!  ~Diane
I am entering this into the Just Keep on Creating Christmas card challenge.

Kahwinkedink Challenge week 3

This weeks challenge over at Kahwinkedink is to make your own embellishment.  I made mine with the Imaginisce i*top Medium Topper Punch, using the same DCWV dp.  I then added a bumblebee that I stamped onto clear polyester and added some Stampin Up Crystal effects to.  I added some seed beads to the flowers in this sweet digi image Primitive Flowers, from Kahwinkedink, I love the simplicity of this image, it's one of my favorites.  Stop by the Kahwinkedink blog and pick up your Tuesday freebie and see what the rest of the talented design team has made. 
I used this layout, Sweet Sketch 49 from Arlana at Sweet Sketch Wednesday for this card, this is definitely a keeper too, I really like this lay out.  As you can see I turned it sideways.  I will enter this into their challenge.   Also The Crazy Challenge for something new, my Primitive Flower digi. 
I used Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles Nestabilities , the bumblebee is from a retired Stampin Up set and the dp is DCWV The Glitter Stack, and I almost forgot, I embossed it with a Sizzix Texture Plate.    Thanks for looking, ~Diane
