Alcohol Ink Christmas Card Panels - A Ciara T. Designs Tutorial

 Hello, Crafty Makers!

Each year at Christmas time, I create cards for my favorite Sister-in-law! I always make each year's offering a little different than the year before. I struggled with designing her "bulk" cards this year until I started following:

Ciara T Designs' 

"12 Weeks of Christmas Cards."

I love working with alcohol inks but have yet to use them to create interesting Christmas cards.  

These cards are easy to create, especially if you already have Alcohol-Ink Panels. Even if you have to create new panels, the process does not take long, and the results are stunning!

I created several cards using a large snowflake die.  The center portion of that die was too pretty to toss, but I was stuck in the "mojo" wilderness" trying to determine how to use these pretties.  Ciara's tutorial was a great find.  I was not only able to use the snowflake cut-out, but I also used scrap mirror paper from previous cards.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: LET IT SNOW (A Place To Start Holiday Challenge)

 Hello, Fellow Crafters!

I have managed to fall behind in practically everything. I dedicated a lot of time to the past elections, and even though my side lost, I feel good about my efforts.  Also, since my work is year-round, year in and year out, I only have a little time for past regrets.

The quickest way to catch up was to force myself to create gifts for my doctor and the infusion nurses, who have done a fabulous job keeping my hope alive this past year!  My little gift bags have become one of our traditions!  Everyone loves Kraft bags, so I am using those again this year.

Dr. S.:  I always try to find unique things that match his humor.  

Traveler's Notebook

The nurses' bags included Pens, Charms, Cups, and handmade Candles!

I am pretty pleased with my "Let It Snow" theme. 

One of my Amazon promotional items was a Kraft tag collection!  These tags saved time and coordinated perfectly with my gift bags!

I Look forward to seeing your creations in our Happy Holiday Challenge at

A Place to Start

Thanks for stopping by!
