New Home-Christmas Card

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

We are in for another rainy day which we really do need but I feel like lately we've had quite a few cloudy, dreary days! I loved the sunshine and 50's yesterday and I know they are short lived as we have some really cold temps coming! So, today I have another card to share that I made last week as part of Audrey's card order. She requested a card for her grandson & his wife that just bought their 1st home. She also asked if I could make it Christmas-y! 

Oh boy, I had alot of fun with this one!

Card Details:

Stamps: Humble Home, Snowy Wonder, Inkadinkadoo

Ink: Garden Green, Versamark, Stampin Blends-Real Red, Garden Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Pecan Pie, Take A Bow DSP

Accessories: Snowy Wonder Dies, Humble Home Builder Punch, White Loose Snowflakes, Red & White Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

As soon as she asked about a card for the new house my mine went right to the snow globe dies in the Snowy Wonder bundle and this worked out perfectly! The little wreath on the house was stamped colored and fussy cut, then placed on the house with a small dimensional. I loved everything about this card and so did Audrey! 

I thought about making this a shaker card but I wasn't sure if Audrey was mailing this or not so I just left it as is. What do you think?

Christmas Stamp Day Card #2

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

My plan for today is to relax and catch my breath!

Last few weeks I feel like I have been going 100 mph and I can tell I have been stressed because my back is hurting along with my hands. Nothing a few days of taking it easy can't take care of. I still have some Christmas shopping to do so I may just get that done today, online!

Today I am sharing card #2 from my recent Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together with the girls. It was a day full of talking, laughing and of course, eating! Thanks girls for bringing the snacks! We munched on cheese & peanut butter crackers, Pringles Chips and Cupcakes! The girls probably did not think I would eat any of that after losing 83 pounds but this girl did indulge!! Hey, just because I am trying to better my health doesn't mean that I don't eat because I will say that I do not starve myself in anyway shape or form! LOL

Here is my most favorite card! Any guesses as to what it could be??

If you know me, you know I love anything gingerbread related!!

I told the girls that they could happily send this card to me for Christmas! LOL

Card Details:

Stamps: Humble Home, Snowy Wonder, More Than Autumn

Ink: Pecan Pie, Versamark, Garden Green

Cardstock: Real Red, Pecan Pie, Basic White, Take A Bow DSP

Accessories: Forever Plaid 3D EF, Circle Layering Framelits, More Than Autumn Dies, Snowy Wonder Dies, Humble Home Builder Punch, Heat Gun, White Embossing Powder, Adhesive Backed Peppermints, Red & White Twine, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This card I had all the embossing and diecutting done ahead of time so this one did not take long at all to put together. Sometimes I like to let the girls do the work themselves but if I want things to go along quickly I do the work for them. 

I hope you liked this card as much as I did and you will stop back again tomorrow for card #3!

Snow Globe Pizza Boxes

Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

Today is Day #5 of sharing my Christmas treats and this one was so fun to make! I got 2 bags of Reese's Peanut Butter & Sugar Cookie Miniatures and found 3 packs of Pizza Boxes in my stash that Stampin Up had out years ago. I wasn't sure how I was going to decorate them so I went thru all my paper packs and found the Snowy Scenes DSP and ran with it.

Project Details:

Stamps: Snowy Wonder

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green

Cardstock: Pool Party, Basic White, Snowy Scenes DSP

Accessories: Snowflake Sky 3D EF, Snowy Wonder Dies, Nested Essentials Dies, Pool Party Pom Pom Ribbon, Adhesive Backed Peppermints, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Those fun snow globes were diecut from the Snowy Scenes DSP and fit nicely on the Pizza Boxes. Each box is filled with 9 Peanut Butter & Sugar Cookie Miniatures. And let me tell you that those Peanut Butter & Sugar Cookie Miniatures are SO good! I had to try them before I bought the 2nd bag! I made 6 of these.

Today is all about laundry and getting my kits ready for my Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together on Saturday! I'm looking forward to seeing the girls!

Christmas Pillow Boxes

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope you all had a nice weekend! It sure got COLD here!

I think winter has arrived, unfortunately.

Today I want to share with you some of the Christmas treats I made this year. 

I found this pack of Pillow Boxes that came out earlier this year in the Spring Mini Catalog with the Bee Mine Suite. I never used them and since I am trying to clean out my drawers and use up things I decided to use these for treats this holiday. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Snowy Wonder, Itty Bitty Christmas (retired)

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Memento Black, Real Red Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Basic White Real Red, Snowy Scenes DSP

Accessories: Snowy Wonder Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Classic Label Punch (retired), Star Enamel Dots (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My penguins were diecut from the DSP which makes things go much faster. I love having that option! Each pillow box is filled with 2 of those Festive Oreo Cookies that I found at Target. I made 10 of these.

So, Shawn has been on vacation since the Friday before Thanksgiving and today he went back to work. We did alot during his time off. Lots of shopping and lots of decorating. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner together and watched alot of Hallmark Christmas movies! I almost hated to send him back to work but life has to go back to normal, right?! Today is my cleaning day and my house majorly needs it! Ryan does his darndest to stay out of my way until I am done which I do appreciate. I will be happy when I can actually relax after all that!

 I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving/weekend.

Snow Globe Snowman Card

 Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope your weekend was nice!

Friday we had rain & snow and it was just downright cold & windy out!

We went out and ran some errands that morning which did not last long as I was chilled to the bone. Saturday I had a haircut appointment then finished up one last card kit for my Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together while Shawn cleaned up the garage. Sunday I stamped most of the day! Christmas treats are completed! YAY! Now waiting on Audrey's December card order which i'm sure I will be hearing from her soon!

Shawn is on vacation this week so today we are making a quick shopping trip to Sam's Club and I need to hit Hobby Lobby while we are out. Football is on tonight and for once we can stay up to watch!! YAY! 

Today I have a really cute card to share with you using the new Snowy Scenes bundle from the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog! I love that is makes a snow globe with all the dies and great embellishments! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Snowy Wonder

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Pool Party, Basic Black Archival (retired), Real Red Stampin Blends

Cardstock: Pool Party, Basic White, Snowy Scenes DSP

Accessories: Snowy Wonder Dies, Forever Plaid 3D EF, Snowy Wonder Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Pool Party Pom Pom Ribbon, Red & White Twine, Adhesive Backed Peppermints, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Yesterday I played with this bundle to create some Christmas treats!

It is so much fun! I will be using this to make Christmas cards for Audrey's great granddaughters! A cool shaker card would be neat, don't you think?

Next week I am going to start sharing my Christmas treats so stay tuned for that! So exciting!
