I'm very excited to share this Christmas Ornament with you today! Believe it or not, I made this with the Lattice Die, Organza Ribbon and an Antique Brad. I'll be truthful with you, it took a bit of work, it takes time and detailed work but I think it's worth it in the end! I know some of you are liable to ask if we will be making this in the Christmas Decor class. No, I'm afraid not. If I have enough local people interested, I am willing to do a separate class for this ornament. Please let me know. Have a wonderful Friday! I will be sharing more handmade Christmas Ornaments before Continue reading
Holiday Stocking Sweet Treat
This holiday stocking is a favorite with those who attended yesterday's sessions of the Sweet Treat Class! The Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White are so striking together along with the Quilted Satin Ribbon and Winter Wishes Stitched Felt. Naturally this hidden treat makes the stocking even better! Yummy! There are still more sessions of the Sweet Treat Class if you would like to join in! Last evening I was able to put together one of the Scrapbook Layouts we will be making in club on Monday. It's a simple layout putting all focus on the pictures. These particular pictures are of Continue reading
Timeless Portrait Card Keeper
Here's the other Card Keeper I've been working on! This time I used the Timeless Portrait DSP. I plan to use this one myself down in my StampThat classroom. Once again I used one of the cardstock roses we made back during the winter months in the Flower Fun class. I can't wait to see how all the boxes get designed in the Gift Those Handmade Cards class! Every one is sure to be different and special! Continue reading
Another Card Keeper Christmas Gift
Woo Hoo! I have another Christmas present made! I'm very proud of myself for being so far along with Christmas presents . . . so far. This is one of our card keepers which is housing approximately 20 handmade cards right now. I used the First Edition DSP to cover the box and then a piece of Spice Cake DSP for the lid. The little paper roses are some I made several months back for the Flower Fun class, they're so pretty in person! I'm afraid I won't be able to show this to any of you in real life, it's heading out-of-state today . . . . I'm almost finished with another one though, and it Continue reading
Sweet Treat Cookie Holder
Yesterday I shared some very yummy cookies with you. Now I want to show you the fun treat holder we will be making for them in the Sweet Treats class! It's may be hard to see in the picture, but there is a wrapped cookie (one using the Stampin' Up! Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps of course) inside this cute little holder! I'm very excited about this class, we're going to have lots of fun! Have a wonderful Friday! Continue reading
Sweet Treat Take a Peek
Ethan and I just had to try out the new Stampin' Up! cookie press stamps yesterday to make sure we know how to use them before it's time for the Sweet Treats class to begin next week! Don't they look yummy?! Naturally we need to make sure the stamps work . . . and the cookies taste good. We ate this particular plate full of cookies at supper last night. They pass the test! This plate of snowflake cookies is our desert tonight! They are the same batch of cookies, we used heart stamps on half and snowflakes on the other half. The set comes with three options, we didn't use the Continue reading
Beau Chateau Fabric Memo Board
I just can't seem to make enough of these memo boards can I? This one was made with the Beau Chateau Fabric, some retired Chocolate Chip satin ribbon (a bit wider than we currently carry) and retired Very Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware. It's very exciting to have another Christmas gift made! Once again, I wish you could see it in real life, it's just not the same. Do think the recipient will like this? I hope so! Continue reading
Handmade DSP Christmas Ornaments
Today I want to share a fun Christmas ornament with you. I made these with my downline members a couple weeks ago and then I made them in the Stampin' Up! Parties I held this month. This particular ornament was made with the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP found on page 20 of the SU! Holiday Mini Catalog. Here's another ornament I made using some retired Designer Series paper. Isn't it beautiful? I hope to make several of these for a vendor fair I'm participating in on Nov. 5 here in Stewartstown. It's possible we might see these ornaments for the Christmas Decor class too . . . I hope you Continue reading
Christmas Advent Calendar Class
I'm excited to share this fun Christmas Advent calendar! This oh so cute calendar has been attracting attention anywhere it's seen! With its cute boxes for goodies and the warm fireplace, who can resist? Here's day 25. I'm so glad they chose to put the true meaning of Christmas on this stamp! Don't you love it? Here's a couple more of the boxes. I chose to use chipboard numbers on some of the boxes rather than the 25 & Counting stamp set for some variety. The chipboard you see pictured here is some retired chipboard. I can't wait for this class in November! At this point Continue reading
Timeless Portrait File Folders
I spent some time yesterday working on my special project again. I used some of the Timeless Portrait DSP to create some extra special file folders for on my desk. Aren't they lovely? I'm so very excited to have such pretty folders! I covered the front of each manilla file folder (large and small - the small being folders I cut down) with the DSP. Then I had a brainstorm for the tabs! I used the Chalkboard Decor Elements on the tabs! By doing that, I can write on the tabs with chalk (or a chalk marker which is what I'm using) and then when I need the folder for something else, I can Continue reading
Festive Fall Fun Wreath
Do you want to have a little fall fun before heading into all the creations I have planned for Christmas? Don't you love this 12 inch fall wreath? The colors look a tad brighter in this picture than they are in real life. The colors I used are Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Pool Party, Old Olive and More Mustard. Here's a close-up look for you. Those attending the Fall Fun class get to make their own wreath like this! It's going to look lovely around the around your home or it will make a wonderful gift! If you haven't signed up for the class yet . . . now's the time! Continue reading
Stampin' Up! Christmas Time
Here's yet another peek at a project I've been working on. I hope you're enjoying all these little peeks and maybe it's going to peak your interest a bit?! I used two stamp sets here, Lovely as a Tree and 25& Counting. Of course Lovely as a Tree is an old favorite, the 25 & Counting stamp set is new, in the Holiday Mini Catalalog. Doesn't this look so cozy with the fireplace and Christmas tree? Does it make you ready for Christmas? Have a wonderful Labor Day! Continue reading
