The Nutcracker

Here is my last 5x7" card for a while.  I'm still using the G45 Nutcracker Sweet collection.

The blue organdy ribbon is from my stash, and the bow is made on my Bow-It-All.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King

More Nutcracker Sweet cards!  All of these cards have been 5x7" cards.

This beautiful green satin ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Sugar Plum Fairies

How about a pink and purple ballet card for Christmas?

I have to admit that I love this ballet, but I have seen it so many times, I probably don't want to ever see it again.  Still, I am loving these cards!  Hope you do too!

Clara and Mother Ginger

More cards!  Anyone like ballet?

The top card has a bow made with organdy ribbon on my Bow-It-All;  the bottom card has a fun fur bow.  Which bow do you like?

Snowflakes and the Nutcracker

Will she ever stop with the Nutcracker Sweet cards???  Not until she uses up every last scrap of paper!

The Nutcracker and Mother Ginger

More cards!

This is such a fun collection to play with!

The Mouse King

Continuing the Nutcracker Sweet theme.  (Yes, I know it's really Suite, but the paper collection is called Nutcracker Sweet).

Love, love, love these bows made with my Bow-It-All.  Which card is your favorite?

G45 "Nutcracker Sweet" Christmas Cards

I have been playing with the G45 "Nutcracker Sweet" Christmas collection from a few years ago.  I always need a bit of inspiration to get my creative juices flowing, so I want to thank Gloria Stengel for her Sugar Plum Fairy card that was my original inspiration.  You can see Gloria's card on her blog HERE.

Here is my version:

Mine is a 5x7" card; I think hers is smaller.  I also made a bunch of other cards with this collection which I will be sharing with you during the weeks before Christmas.  You will see that I am IN LOVE with my Bow-It-All from Zutter.  It's a tool available from Really Reasonable Ribbon (RRR) that will make absolutely perfect bows in a variety of sizes.  And it's on SALE HERE.  I have also used a bunch of ribbon from the RRR monthly ribbon club--only $9 a month!  Check it out HERE.  The ribbon on the card above is from my stash, but I made the double bow on the Bow-It-All.  Cute, isn't it?!

Here is another Nutcracker Sweet card.  This one is my own design:

Awesome bow here too from my Bow-It-All.  Leave me some love in the comments if you like what you see!
