After the handmade ornaments we made last year, I was wondering what I was going to come up with for this year's ornament class that wouldn't be a let-down! They have to be something special! Continue reading
Season of Style Christmas Card
I like our new Season of Style Designer Series Paper! It has such pretty colors including Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Baked Brown Sugar, Crumb Cake, Old Olive and Whisper White. Continue reading
Six-Sided & Holiday Singles
Somehow I missed the fact that Bravo Burgundy recently retired. How did that happen? I've always loved Bravo Burgundy! I didn't realize it was retired until after I made this card with the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set. Suddenly I had a thought, realizing I hadn't seen the Bravo Burgundy color in the new catalog. I'm going to miss using Bravo Burgundy with Always Artichoke and also with Pink Pirouette! I can't sit here mourning something that's retired though, there are too many new things out there to be doing that! In fact, I have something new to share with you right Continue reading
Festive Flurry Stamp Set in Pink
I always like new snowflake stamp sets. I guess I'm kind of a sucker for them just like swirlies. I like to use my snowflakes in very "unsnowflake" sorts of colors. Pink isn't exactly the "norm" for snowflakes but I love it for a change! I used Pink Pirouette and Strawberry Slush on this card. I have a feeling I'll probably do some variations of this card with blues and another with purples. I've been in such a mood for some homemade soup lately and I created this snowflake card, does that mean I'm getting ready for that cooler weather and snowflakes? Hmmm. . . Okay, maybe I'll Continue reading
We’ll StampThat Team Christmas Party Pictures
We had such a fun time at the StampThat Team Christmas Party Thursday evening! Do you see those smiling faces? And here are some more! I'm so glad they're still smiling after I made them . . . . . . stamp blindfolded! Yes, I did! I've been wanting to do this for a long time and I finally did! One person was blind folded and their partner had to tell them what to do to get their card stamped and put together. We had two teams going at the same time with a little competition for time. I must admit, I was very impressed with our teams, they did a wonderful job!! Of Continue reading
Handmade Hershey Christmas Trees
I've been anxiously waiting to share this picture with you! Aren't these little trees adorable?! I made some of these for the 1st-3rd graders in the Sunday School class my husband and I teach, as their Christmas presents. We also made these last evening at the StampThat Team Christmas Party, thus the reason I didn't show them with you yet, I didn't want to give away our project! They're so fun, and who can resist chocolate? Merry Christmas! Continue reading
Holiday Frame Christmas Card
Here's a nice, quick Christmas Card if you still need an idea for those last minute cards. This is another card we made at the last Christmas Card class. I don't think you can go wrong with Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White - they're always perfect together! Happy Tuesday! Continue reading
Stampin’ Up! Mittens Punch Christmas Card
I saw a card someone made with the Make a Mitten stamp set and I sat down to make my own version. I do not own the Make A Mitten stamp set, however, I do own the punch. So, here is my version. Pretty cute, don't you think? We made this card at the last Christmas Card Class at the Mason Dixon library in Stewartstown, PA. Hopefully I will soon be posting the upcoming classes for January - March. I'm sorry for the delay, I'm just trying to make sure I pick the best classes! Thank you for stopping by to visit today! Continue reading
Handmade Gift Card Holders Assortment
We don't give a lot of Gift Cards but yesterday I was busy making gift card holders. Each year the families of our private school give gift cards to the teachers and staff. This year I volunteered to make some handmade gift card holders. You may recognize some of them from the Gift Card Giving Class this year and past years and others are quick variations. The brown with red flower in the front is still my favorite I think. The red purse in the back right with the green trim is a close second though, I'm really liking it! Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are getting Continue reading
StampThat Christmas Party Pictures
Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up the camera until people were starting to leave the Christmas Party last evening . . . . I did grab a few quick pictures that I thought you might like to see. We had a great time eating, creating, and even singing! I always love the Christmas parties - they're so much fun! I wish I had thought to use the camera earlier in the evening to show the fun cards that were created in our game and the cute little baby that came to visit us and the gift exchange and . . . . . If you missed the party this year, I hope you'll make your plans to Continue reading
Gingerbread Cookie Christmas Card
I had a lot of fun with these little gingerbread men on their cookie sheet. Aren't they cute? I got the idea for the cookie sheet from someone else and couldn't resist making my own card. The brushed silver card stock makes a perfect cookie sheet! It has just the right amount of shine to it to look just right for cookie baking. I hope you will plan to join us for the StampThat Christmas Party tonight! I'm off to continue work on the Jan-March Stampin' Schedule (trying to get it ready for tonight but no guarantee) and of course party arrangements. See you tonight! Continue reading
Glimmer Snowflake Christmas Card
Today I want to share my version of a card my upline made recently. I love the Silver Glimmer Paper when combined with white and/or blue, it's so brilliant! Have you RSVP'd for the Christmas Party tomorrow evening? I hope you will plan to join us! The StampThat Christmas Party is always a favorite event of the year! Happy Monday! Continue reading
