Merry Christmas Walmart Peeps

Morning blogland peeps.  This past week I have been busy making cards for co-workers.  I am a Customer Service Manager (CSM) at Walmart. I supervise the cashiers, customer service desk and self checkouts.  This year I decided to make cards for all my peeps plus a few more that help out on the front end. Fifty-five cards in all.

I started by cutting out all the card bases and front panels.  I stamped my image on white cardstock.  Here I am stamping the snowman image from the card onto the envelope with versa mark.

I them layered my image panel onto a color panel and added the word 'merry' to the snowballs above the snowman.

After coloring the hat, mittens and scarf with color pencils, I put the panel onto the card base.  Then adding stickles to the snow, wink of stella to the hat, mittens and scarf, and glaze pen to his coal parts. Here they are layed out to dry. (Some had to be put onto hubbies desk. Glad he wasn't home to see.)

And here is my finished card.  It took me all morning to sign and add names to the envelopes. But most have already been delivered, and I will gradually catch everyone else this week.

Today will be spent finishing my cards for family and friends. I know I will probably miss the mailing deadline, but that is typical for me. Who doesn't like receiving a Christmas card in the New Year.

happy crafting ;o)

Simple Thinking of You

Evening blogland. Once again hubbie is into my card stash.  Thinking of you was what he was after.  I had two that have been hanging around for awhile, nice but not my favorites.  Hubbie picked one and I was going to put a sentiment on it.  Something just made me pick up a pack of Tim Holtz paper and leaf through it.  I found a monocromatic piece with a bird on it.  Cut it slightly smaller than a card base and glued it on.  I then cut out the sentiment three times and stacked them, then placing them on the bottom of my card.  Then to add just a bit of sparkle I took a wink of stella pen and colored the sentiment and the bird.  Showing hubbie he asked if he could take it.

This may be my favorite card. So simple. I will be entering in Simon Says Stamp - Thinking of You.

Three Simple Cards

Evening blog land.  The other night while going through stock and rearranging product I came across a pack of paper by imaginisce.  The All Occasion Build-a-Card.  What a great way to get the creative juices flowin'.  To take a simple card and add too it.  Ok, so I couldn't see a vision for one, but two of the cards I did manage to  put add-ons on.

The little penguin was my first attempt.  I folded the card, stuck the sticker on the mat.  I used two way tape around the border of the mat and add glitter.  To the little penguins on the card I put enamel accents on his eyes, wink of stella on his cheeks and scarf, and little pearls on the white snowflakes.  

The blue one was quit simple.  When I went to stick the sticker on it accidently slipped. When lifting it up it peels some of the paper.  I cut the sticker down in size, and placed flowers over my little boo boo.  

So looking forward to the weekend.  One more day and I'll see my little girl.  It's been almost two weeks since we dropped her off at college.  One week of just first years, and this week she started classes.  We have text everyday, keeping up on what she's doing.  But I miss her so much.  Can't wait till I'm done work tomorrow night, she should be home.
