I might have shared this with you already, but here I go again! This is the Christmas card we sent out this year--I created it in My Digital Studio:
It was so easy--the card was a template, and I just filled in the pictures! I did add some text to each, so everyone would know where it was taken!
Aren't my boys cute?!!
Here's a fun card that is sooooo easy to make:
Punch two ornaments from designer paper (I used Frostwood Lodge) Adhere these to a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Stamp your sentiment, and draw on your strings for the ornaments. You can also use the stamp from Tree Trimmings, if you have it! I do think it's easier to just draw it on! Now, put your whisper white cardstock in your Snowburst Embossing folder, and send her through the Big Shot!! I love the way it makes the ornaments look "worn"!! Now, adhere this to a piece of Marina Mist. Tie your Cherry Cobbler quilted ribbon around, then adhere to your Cherry Cobbler card!
Here are the measurements:
Cherry Cobbler: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4:
Marina Mist: 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White: 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Have a great day!!
Happy Saturday! Can you believe we're only a week away from Christmas?!! Do you have all your shopping done? We have a bit more to do today, but it's all fun stuff!!
Our sketch today was a fun one:
My first thought was ornaments, but I went with snowflakes instead!
I just can't get enough of this silver glimmer paper!! I used the Northern Frost Sizzlet Strip Die for the snowflakes. The ribbon is tied around the top of the card, then a strip of silver glimmer paper was added. The bow was tied, then adhered with a mini glue dot! The sentiment is from Fabulous Phrases--love the font on this set!! I added three rhinestones for a little added bling!
Now, please head on over to the UDI Blog! We're trying something new this week--posting all the projects on the blog! Be sure and leave a comment and let us know what you think!!
woohoo!! look at me--I stamped! I'm sorry it's been so long--just enjoying some free time with the boys! It's finals week, and they've been studying hard all week! Today is the last day, then Christmas Vacation!! woohoo!
So, on to our sketch, brought to us by Patrice:
And, my interpretation:
I just had to use my silver glimmer paper one more time!! :-) I love, love, love this stuff! I used the Snowflake Die #2, along with the sentiment from Christmas Greetings. Colors are Night of Navy and Whisper White. Simple, but sparkly!! LOL!!
Please continue along our blog tour--your next stop is Tina's Blog!
Happy Friday afternoon!! We have a full and fun weekend planned, and I'm so excited!! But, first, here is the Stamping 411 Sketch for this week:
And my card:
I used snowflakes again, as well as last week's color combo--blushing bride, early espress and pear pizzazz! It's such a pretty combo, don't you think? For this card, I stamped the snowflakes from Serene Snowflakes randomly in my three colors on Whisper White cardstock. That is layered onto Early Espresso cardstock, then I put both through the Big Shot with the Snowburst embossing folder! The sentiment is from Four the Holidays. To top it all off, I added a snowflake cut from Silver Glimmer paper, and attached it with a glimmer brad!
Please visit the Stamping 411 Blog to see all the measurements for this card, along with the other operators beautiful artwork!
Have a GREAT day!
Good morning!! Here is a project that I first saw on Pinterest! I loved it, and knew I had to make some for the craft fairs! People LOVED them!!
The "Jingle all the way" is a decor element--only $3.95!! The frame is an 8x8 shadow box from Michael's. They are $9.95. The back is covered with designer paper (retired), and the jingle bells are loose inside the frame! Very easy project to put together!!
Hi! Here's another project I made for the craft fairs! These are soooo much fun to make, and sooo easy! (sorry for the pic--it was taken with my phone!)
The cardstock is 4" x 5", then score along the 5" side at 1 1/4", 2 1/2" & 3 3/4". The designer paper is 3 3/4" by 4". I don't score the designer paper--just wrap it around and adhere with Sticky Strip!
On the inside I put a strip of sticky strip, then put 4 Hershey Kisses down! If you want to see a pic of the side view, click HERE! (yes, I've been making these for over 4 yrs!!)
Enjoy!!!
The boys are home from school for a Snow Day!! woohoo!! It's really cold here--and we aren't used to it!! LOL! So, we're playing video games, stamping, and just wasting time! A perfect day!
As promised, here are some of the items I had for sale at my craft fairs this year! If you have any questions about anything, just drop me an email! (ps. sorry for the picture quality--took these with my phone!)
Gift Card holders--made by folding an envelope in half, then decorating the front and inside! (sorry no pics of the inside!). These sold out in about 2 hours! I wish I had made about 100 more!!
Nugget Tins--these are filled with Hershey Kisses or Hershey Nuggets. Sold out of these, too!
Wrapped Hershey Bars:
I saw this poem in a Paper Crafter's magazine YEARS ago!! I thought it was so cute! and, it's so much fun to watch people as they read it--they always get a kick out of it! And, before you ask, here's the pdf with the poem listed four times! Just print and trim!!
Have a great day!!!
Happy Saturday! This will be a quick post--I'm off to the craft fair!
Here's our sketch:
And, here's my card:
Can you say "sparkly"!! YES!!! I used the silver glimmer paper as a layer, and both red and silver for the Christmas lights! What do you think?! I love it! The "wire" is the cherry cobbler baker's twine, and the sentiment is from Four the Holidays Stamp Set! That's it--quick and simple! But, oh so sparkly!
Be sure to check out the UDI Blog for the rest of the team!!
Hi!! Aren't you excited--it's time for another sketch challenge over on the Stamping 411 blog!
I LOVE this sketch!! Here's my card:
I pulled out one of my all-time favorite sets--Serene Snowflakes! I used a fun color combo: Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride! I randomly stamped the snowflakes all over my piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then, to add some sparkle, I "smooshed" versamark ink all over the stamped piece and embossed with Irridescent Ice embossing powder. Here's a close up:
It's very sparkly!! The ribbon is the scrumptios Early espresso Quilted ribbon, found in the Holiday Mini catalog. All the measurements can be found at the Stamping 411 blog!! Enjoy! And, come and play with us!!
