Birthday Card with Framelits Die

I finally got a card made.....it's been a while I must say. With the new Occasions mini catalog I purchased the Framelits die, label collection and the Apothecary Art stamp set. I love both of these items and they make such a beautiful card.

I used Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Whisper White card stock. The accessories used were the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder, large pearls, and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch.

I made this card for my Mother-in-Law's 91st birthday! She loves all the cards I give her and saves every one. Love her!!

Stay well and thanks for stopping by.

Stocking Gift Card Holder

Over the weekend I had time to play with the Big Shot and the new Holiday Stocking Bigz die and the Stocking Accents Original die in the holiday mini catalog. I also used the Silver glitter paper which adds a little "bling" to your project.

On the back of the stocking, there is a slit which was made using the Word Window punch - moving it over a bit and punching a second time makes the opening bigger to accommodate a gift card.

The front was decorated with holly and berries and ribbon which can be used to hang on the tree afterward. There are so many combinations you can try with all of the holiday designer papers that are in the catalogs. I can't wait to make more and experiment with all the possibilities!!

Hope this inspires you to have fun with your holiday crafting.

Birdcage Journal

Another project from my recent vendor show.....an altered composition notebook covered in designer paper and simply embellished with ribbon. The ribbon is Chocolate Chip and combined with the blue designer paper makes a classic look.

I love making these for gifts also and they go over well at the shows.

Enjoy you day and thanks for stopping by.

"Magic Reindeer Food"

I recently had a vendor party at my house in which 9 sales reps from several home party companies had a table to sell their products. I of course was representing Stampin' Up! and had various paper projects on hand. Today I will show you one of my favorites, Magic Reindeer Food. It's basically quick oats, glitter and red cookie sprinkles mixed up and put in a plastic tube. I used a retired set called Deer Friends, and stamped the reindeer then punched out and layered on two other punches. The saying was typed out on the computer and layered on real red card stock. So cute!!!

Tune in tomorrow for another cute holiday project.

Thanks for stopping by,

Ghostly Halloween Card

This is the last of the projects we did at my Halloween class. It's a very simple card but cute none the less. The stamp set is Scaredy Cat using the long halloween stamp - I love the way the image of the ghost is set in place of the "A". So cute.

I used the new Frightful Sights DSP and the card stock is Cajun Craze and Old Olive. With a pumpkin pie Stampin' Write Marker I outlined the ghost and some of the letters just to give it more color.

Thanks for stopping by.

Scaredy Cat Treat Box

This is the 3rd project from my Halloween class. I "cased" this from Angie Juda, who is an extremely talented demonstrator!

This uses the Big Shot and the Sizzix #2 Box Die, an Old Olive sheet of card stock covered with the Fright Night dsp, black taffeta ribbon and the stamp set - Scaredy Cat. The 1 3/4" circle punch was used for the image and the black c/s was cut with the Circle Scissors Plus for a 2" layer.

I can't wait to make these for my vendor show and I also might make them for Gianna's 2nd grade class. So cute!

Have a great day!!

Pumpkin Witch Card

This is the second project from my Halloween class. We used the set called Jack of All Trades in the Idea Book & Catalog. Colors used are Pumpkin Pie for the base card, Concord Crush, Old Olive and Whisper White.

The witches hat was stamped with Stazon Black on Basic Gray c/s. I also used the Spider Web embossing folder with the Concord Crush. The star was stamped on Whisper White using More Mustard ink.

This card was cased from a card I saw in Spiltcoast Stampers, and I changed up some of the colors.

Thanks for stopping by.
