Snowflake Wishes Thank You

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today I am sharing some Thank You cards I made for customers earlier this month.

I always try to send a thank you note with their receipt included to let them know how much I appreciate their orders! I used products from the Snowflake Splendor Suite for them.

These were not the best pictures and I tried to doctor them up the best I could.

I love the texture that the embossing folder adds to this!

Isn't that DSP so pretty? And that ribbon is quite different!

It's a very stiff ribbon but oh so sparkly!

Card Details:

Stamps: Snowflake Wishes

Ink: Pool Party

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Pool Party, Whisper White, Snowflake Splendor DSP

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Winter Snow EF, Snowflake Splendor Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I'm thrilled that the Snowflake Wishes stamp set & the So Many Snowflakes Dies are carrying over!

I have used it many times this season and loved having a nice Snowflake set again!

Doesn't that picture remind you of a scene from a Hallmark Christmas movie?

Toile Christmas

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

My Christmas was low keyed but it was by far one of the best I've ever had!

Shawn & the kids went above & beyond to make it wonderful and to top that off we had some snow to end the day! Snow is always the perfect touch for Christmas!

Today I am sharing a cool set of Christmas cards that was made with the Toile Christmas set.

I only just got that set & dies this season and loved making this set with them!

This was taken weeks ago with my phone so the picture is not the best and for some reason this is the only one I took.

Card Details:

Stamps: Toile Christmas

Ink: Memento Black, Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Heartwarming Hugs DSP

Accessories: Christmas Cardinal Dies, Circle Layering Dies, Winter Snow EF, Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This set did not last long as my card lady swept them up faster than lightening!

She has a friend that loves cardinals!

I had hoped to use this set more this season but time got away from me.

There is always next year!

Christmas Is Here!

 

It certainly has been a very odd year thanks to the coronavirus.

It will be so different from what it use to be.

Wearing masks, social distancing and the worst part....no big gatherings for our Christmas holiday.

It's been a hard year mentally, physically & emotionally which I am still struggling with but i'm determined to enjoy the day with Shawn & the kids. 

The thoughts of my Dad are constantly on my mind as he is loved & very missed especially on this 1st Christmas without him. 

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Joyful Holly

 Hello & Happy Thursday & Happy Christmas Eve!

Yesterday I got my Pumpkin Roll & Deviled Eggs all done and ready for Christmas!

Today is to be a total washout with heavy rain and winds of 40 mph!

I took down some of our Christmas decorations so they did not freeze to the ground come Friday morning. The rain is to end with a big drop in temperatures. Burrrr!

I'm just about ready for Christmas.....just a few gifts to get wrapped today!

I have another set of cards to share today that I whipped up a few weeks ago using the Joyful Holly stamp set from the Stamp Up Holiday Catty! I love that it's photopolymer stamp set so you can see where your stamping!

These pictures are not the best as I took them on my stamp table with my phone.

I tore down my picture taking booth a few weeks ago to make some room in my stamp room. 

I put it back up yesterday! YAY!

Card Details:

Stamps: Joyful Holly

Ink: Old Olive, Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Poinsettia Place DSP

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Real Red Sheer Ribbon, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were a favorite of mine!

Random Cards

I'm sure by now most of you are all caught up in the craziness of Christmas!

I have a free day today and thought i'd share a few cards I made for recent card orders.

You know I love mixing old things with new and these cards will show that.

I pulled out an old hostess set called Made from Scratch from 2005 and added it to some Plaid Tidings DSP! I have gone thru almost 3 packs of this paper! I love it so much!

I pulled the color of my leaves from the colors in the paper!

So pretty and my card lady just loved them!

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Bumble Bee

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Whisper White, Cajun Craze, Bumble Bee, Plaid Tidings DSP

Now on to Christmas...

This pack is pretty much the same as the Thanksgiving set except for the colors in the paper!

Thanksgiving Treat Boxes

Happy Friday!

Just wanted to share a little Thanksgiving treat I made.

This box is actually from a retired Paper Pumpkin Kit from maybe 2017.

I did a belly band around it using some Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP and some Embroidered Ribbon.

I stamped my sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set and flagged each end with a retired Banner Punch.

I popped that on with Dimensionals and tucked a diecut Gold Foiled leaf from the Gathered Leaves Dies under the sentiment. 

I made these boxes back in July and just recently filled them with Reese's Peanut Butter Miniatures.

A sweet little treat to put at each person's table setting for Thanksgiving.

3D Challenge w/ Vicki

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's Halloween today and time for another 3D Challenge with my friend, Vicki!

Every other Saturday we make something other than a card and share it on our blogs.

We've been doing this now since the beginning of September and I have enjoyed it, alot!

My 3D project this week I made a few weeks ago as a treat holder for Kelsey!

I already sent her a card for Halloween but since she has to work all day today I am going to take it to her apartment and leave at her door so when she comes home from work she will find it waiting on her.

I think she will love it!

I used a Stampin Up Coffee Cup Carrier and decorated it with Halloween Paper using the Magic In This Night DSP. The bats are diecut with the Halloween Magic Dies directly from the one DSP print.

I added black shred paper in the bottom of the box then added a bag of candy & a decorated coffee cup that I placed a Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K Cup inside for her to make. 

I tore apart a coffee cup and created a template with it so I could wrap DSP around them! 

Worked like a charm!

I used stamps from the Ghoulish Goodies set as well as the Hallows Night Magic set.

I diecut some bats from the smaller bat dies with the new Black Glimmer Paper!

That paper is awesome! Not thick at all and the glitter does not come off!

Anyways, I decorated everything with some Black Glimmer Paper Bats and attached tags on the cup and bag of candy. I used the Black Glittered Ribbon for this project as well as that amazing Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon! Lastly, I added some Iridescent Pearls and called it done!

Project Details:

Stamps: Ghoulish Goodies, Hallows Night Magic

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Black Glimmer Paper, Magic In This Night DSP

Accessories: Halloween Magic Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Coffee Cup Carrier, Coffee Cup, Cello Bag, Black Glittered Ribbon, Sillver Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Iridescent Pearls, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have had these Coffee Cup Carriers since July and back during the summer I started decorating them for Christmas! Yesterday I was out shopping and bought all kinds of goodies to put in them this holiday season!

 I will share them once Thanksgiving is over so stay tuned!

These carriers are $5 for 8 of them and they are SO much fun to decorate!

Now pop on over to Vicki's blog to see her amazing 3D project!

I've seen it and it's really cool!!!

Russell Stover Pumpkin Boxes

 Hello & Happy Friday!

Can you believe that tomorrow is the last day of October!?

The older I get the faster time goes by!

Today I have a cool Halloween treat box to share made using a template that Erica Cerwin showed on one of her Facebook Lives. It was the perfect box to hold the Russell Stover treats I had picked up a few days prior to her video!

These hold the Caramel Pumpkins from Russell Stover.

I forgot to take a picture of the candy itself.

These are the Peanut Butter Pumpkins from Russell Stover.

Here is the link to the You Tube video if you want to watch.
