2. Super Moon Greeting card made with two circle punches and One Up Me quote

With the amazing super moon shining in the night sky I thought I'd make a super moon card.
Now I know the Super Moon is a full moon but I thought it would be fun to make a partial moon. It was super easy.
I pulled out the circle punches and picked two similar in size. I punched the large circle out of some white glitter paper and then the slightly smaller circle off center.
The quote is from One Up Me:
" He's like an 800 number, you won't get a charge out of him."
which I wrote with a Pentel Slicci silver pen.

1. Jackalope Card with March 22 One Up Me quote

I am going to try to make a card every day. This goal is inspired by the blog 365 Make Something Every Day and book 365 A Daily Creative Journal.
Here is my first card:
Here is how I made my jackalope card.
I punched 2 bunnies with my Martha Stewart punch, one with holding the pink side of the paper up and one with the pink side of the paper down. This gave me a reverse image.
I punched the deers the same way with the Martha Stewart deer punch.
I then trimmed the antlers off the deers and glued them to the back of the bunnies, now I have jackalopes!
I cut a card with the front a bit shorter because I wanted to write my quote along the bottom.
The quote is from One Up Me and it says:
"She's like the iPhone, we talk but mostly she plays games with me."

How to decorate your Greeting Card Album for Christmas and recycle a card from last year with a fabric die cut

Super Crafty Christmas Greeting Card Album with a recycled Christmas card craft.


I went at this with a "just play" attitude. I gathered up some of my favorite supplies and just started punching, stamping, gluing and glittering to decorate the Greeting Card Album and I also recycled a greeting card. I started by stamping all over the cover with some deer stamps, Some Stampology Clear stamps-Flourishes V.2 by Rhonna Farrar and used StazOn Ink.

One of the things I had in my stash was a bunch of slides that weren't good (the picture was too dark) and I wondered if you could punch them? Yup you can! I inked the edges a bit and glued it onto the cover of the Card Album.
I added touches of glitter by mixing a bit of Crafty Chica glitter with a bit of Judikins Diamond Glaze and applying it with a tooth pick.
To make my reindeer I die cut them from holiday prints of Autumn Leaves papers and simply glued them onto the cover all over.
To make the recycled embellished card I ironed some heat and bond to the back of some scrap plaid fabric and ran it through the Sizzix die cutter with my reindeer die. Then I simply ironed it onto the card, I used a press cloth and a tiny tipped iron.


Well I hope you like today's craftiness and if you are looking for a place to store all this year's Christmas cards grab yourself a Greeting Card Album and go to town. Oh and if you are looking for that perfect gift that your recipient won't have already-The Card Album is the ticket.
