Celebrate With Tags

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

The last few days have gotten away from me and I apologize for not getting anything posted.

Yesterday I got caught up in watching the Presidential Inauguration and that lasted pretty much all day. I think I have been watching them ever since Bill Clinton went into office. With President Trump back in office I pray things change in our country for the better.

So today I got started on working on cards for Audrey and just completely forgot to post. It's downright cold here which I think is getting the best of me. LOL Can't think past the cold!

Here I am at 5 pm making a post while waiting on Shawn to get home. He got stuck in traffic in York. I made a crock pot full of ham & green beans for supper. It surely filled my belly.

The cards I am sharing today are part of Audrey's upcoming order. She requested 3 cards for the pastors at her church so this is what I made...

Card Details:

Stamps: Celebrate With Tags (retired), Framed Florets (retired)

Ink: Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon

Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Basic White

Accessories: Celebrations Tags Dies (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Blueberry Bushel In Color Enamel Dots (retired), Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I came across this stamp set in a basket that has a variety of stamps in. I called it my "Mix of Holidays" stamps. I have everything organized by holidays so I know where to find something. This set is full of different things for different occasions. It even has Valentines Day so I may pull this set out soon and play with those stamps!

Audrey wanted to make this a complete set of 5 cards so I went ahead and made 2 more cards with different colors...

Card Details:

Stamps: Celebrate With Tags, (retired), Framed Florets (retired)

Ink: Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink, Basic White

Accessories: Celebrations Tags Dies (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Pretty In Pink In Color Shimmer Gems, Mini Dimensionals, Tombiw Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I really hope Audrey likes these! I love how they turned out and of course, the colors!

Mitten Slider Boxes

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a good start!

One week until Christmas Eve!

Today we have a few errands to run but then we will be home the rest of the day.

The Baltimore Ravens play this afternoon at 4:30 so we'll be watching that.

Yesterday I got my laundry done & put away....today I am going to try to work on getting the gifts wrapped and the gift/money card holders ready and under the tree!

Today I have a very cute Christmas treat to share with you!

You may remember that I made these Slider Boxes back at Halloween time and filled them with Dove Chocolates. You can see them here.

They are so easy to whip up! I made these with the Celebrate With Tags Bundle and the Storybook Gnomes DSP.

Marisa from over at Kitchen Table Stamper showed us how to create these on one of her Facebook Lives and I think they make for a cute treat any time of the year.

Project Details:

Stamps: Celebrate With Tags 

Ink: Pacific Point

Cardstock: Pacific Point, Shimmery White, Basic White, Storybook Gnomes DSP

Accessories: Celebrations Tags Dies, White Glittered Ribbon, Iridescent Pearls, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I made these after I purchased the candy so I could have the package match the candy.

My tag on these boxes I diecut out using Shimmery White cardstock that Stampin Up! had carried for many years. I love the sparkle that it brings to a project and you can stamp on it, too!

Once I had my Mitten Slider Boxes completed I had to decorate the wood crate that I put them in. Those Wood Crates came from the Dollar Tree or the $1.25 Tree now that everything is $1.25! LOL

I decorated several of these wood crates like this which I can easily take the cardstock panels off and redo them next year if need be. 

I was pleased with how my Christmas treats turned out this year!
