Hanging Stocking Card/Envelope #CD00786

October 30, 2012 By Chris Durnan

This Friday kicks off our holidays with our church Holiday Tea Party.  Each year, I take my ma a little gift.  This year I created a set of Christmas cards/envelopes.  I tied them up with some black raffia as a gift.  
 
#CD00786 Holiday Sparkle by Visual Designs by Chris – used the stocking
Stamps:  “Merry Christmas” on inside and Rose Bud & Vine Border as the garland
Mini Star Punch
Colored the garland with Copics
Rock Candy Distress Stickles
Cuttlebug Embossing folder
Smidgeon of black ribbon to hang the stocking
Cardstock:  Bazzill
 
I mounted the stocking onto black cardstock and trimmed around it so the design would show through and also so I could pop dot it.

Wreath Card

October 29, 2012 By Chris Durnan

I love this card by Pam. I love this file. The simple and classy look of a wreath. The theme at cardaday is “Home for the Holidays”. Something I love to see during the holidays, all the different wreaths that everyone hangs on their door. Just wonderful. I hope you enjoy Pam’s card like I do. Thank you Pam for sharing this with me!! So pretty. I am the lucky recipient of some beautiful cards from Pam. I must confess I have them all on my inspiration board for most of the year. Love them!

If you are interested in the file you can find it here. 

Enjoy!

Answers to Questions..
Folks ask my why am I loading to the forum and why the password. Well my other option is a site perhaps like 4shared etc. So you would follow the same steps only instead you go to the forum on the VDBC site and download. I am trying to centralize my work and time on the net so I can create create create. (I am having success with this goal as I have been creating like crazy.) So once you have registered at the forum you can continue to download the freebies by using the passwords. They change once a month rather then every time. So sometimes the forum may not even ask you for a password if you already entered it that month. 🙂 And that is the blah blah blah of today’s post. 
So now run on over and grab that file. And just remember….

Halloween mug using Chris Durnan’s cutter file

October 27, 2012 By Chris Durnan

I found these customizable mugs at the Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. As soon as Chris posted it, I loved her ghost border. I knew it would be perfect for these mugs. I cut it with my Cricut and layered it on a piece of Halloween print paper. Best of all, I can remove the ghost liner, store it in a file folder and reuse the mug for another of Chris’s great creations. Thanks Chris!

Celebrations with HTV and rhinestones.

October 25, 2012 By Chris Durnan

I just wanted to share this fun project I made recently for my niece and nephew. It was my niece’s birthday and her parents whisked her away on a Mousey Adventure. I made these with heat transfer vinyl and rhinestones and a couple of items from Michael’s. Awesome. I think she liked them and it was fun to make for her. I’ve seen the pictures I think she had an awesome time on the trip!

 

If you are interested in Heat Transfer Vinyl, I use Siser Easy Weed 5 multipack. I tell you this because H and H is offering a $5.00 shipping this Friday the 26th only. Shipping kills me when it comes to buying vinyl. So this price helps me purchase material.  My last order was almost $16.00 in shipping. I also buy Rapid Tac II for my tiles. When I use just alcohol it doesn’t seem to adhere the same way. So I use this. I bought a 4 oz last year and have done about 40-50 tiles in between and am just buying another. I don’t use much, but I like the way it works.

 

Have a mahvelous day.

 

Enjoy!

Chris

 

PS.. H & H gave these instructions for getting the $5.00 ship in their email.

You must click the "other shipping options" tab and select "5 Dollar Friday" as your shipping option. No refunds if you don’t click on this option.

H & H Sign Supply reserves the right to choose the shipping carrier when choosing this option.

When selecting $5 shipping option, this could delay your order shipping from H & H by up to 10 days because of the amount of orders that will need to be processed. If you are in need of your order quickly, do not select this shipping option.
