The StampThat team had a wonderful time together last evening for our Shoebox Swap! Such great ideas were shared! This is the card I did for the swap. I got the original idea from someone else and then changed up the colors and several other parts to make it my own. Isn't it pretty? Well, it's much prettier in real life but you can sort of get the idea here. I used the Watercolor Winter and Petite Pairs stamp sets for this card. Thank you for stopping by today - I hope you have a wonderful Friday!! Continue reading
Fabric Covered Box – Christmas Ornament Storage
So, how crazy would it be to bid on my own donation to the Silent Auction at my children's school? I sat down and made this box yesterday specifically for the auction . . . but I'm going to have a hard time giving it away! I love how it looks with the lid and the Christmas Ornament on top! I don't have a lot of boxes with attached lids but I specifically needed that for this project. I am filling the box with handmade ornaments! I thought it would be fun to have a storage container specifically made for the ornaments to keep them safe from heavier bulbs and the like. What do you Continue reading
Another Canlelight Christmas Ornament
I have another handmade ornament to share with you today. Once again I used the Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP. What do you think? I had a little trouble getting the center of the ornament to cooperate with me but I guess it will work. I'm making this a double sided ornament so I still need to tackle the middle part of the second side, we'll see how that side goes. We had a great time at the Fall Decor Class yesterday making our picture frames and candle rings! Thank you to those who attended. Continue reading
Candlelight Christmas Tree Ornaments
I've been having fun making some more Christmas Ornaments with our Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP and Holiday Ornament framelit dies. Isn't this one beautiful? I love the swirlies in the paper along with the Snowflakes in the center and beautifully scripted "Merry Christmas" from the Greetings of the Season stamp set! This one is very similar with another design DSP from the same pack of paper. This time, I pulled out a little retired satin rosette I have left and put that in the center. I would love to have a whole tree of these type ornaments, wouldn't you? It would be so Continue reading
Snowflkae Soiree Christmas Card
I saw a card very much like this but in pink that a fellow demonstrator made and I couldn't resist using it in our last Christmas Card Class. It's beautiful! The other demonstrator made the card in Pink Pirouette which was absolutely lovely, but due to the amount of cardstock I had on hand, I changed to bashful blue. Either way, isn't it great? Unfortunately, the lighting makes it hard to see, but the right bottom corner of the white cardstock has "Merry" embossed in silver, just in case you couldn't tell. Today is our last Christmas Ornament and Wreath class. We've had so much fun Continue reading
More Merry Messages & Candlelight Christmas DSP
I love this card! The Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP comes with two packs of window sheets with Real Red flocking on it. It's beautiful! I used "Merry Christmas" from the More Merry Messages stamp set along with one of the Apothecary Accents Famelits. It's beautiful and simple don't you think? This is another card we made at the last Christmas Card class! There are six more Christmas Card Classes planned, I hope you will make your plans to join us for as many as you can! Card Classes at the Library When: Choose as many of the dates below to attend as you like – we’ll make Continue reading
Another Watercolor Winter Card
I thought you might like to see another card using the Watercolor Winter stamp set. The card yesterday showed this same stamp with the holly but this time I used the second stamp for two-step stamping. I love two-step stamping! We made this card at the last Christmas Card Class. I think it's beautiful! We did use up a little Cherry Cobbler ribbon I had left from last year but I'm sure you could use the Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon. We have a Christmas Card on Thursday, October 4, this week. (Can you believe it's October already?!) There are still spots open so please Continue reading
Christmas 2012 Ornament Class
I've shared this ornament with you a couple times but I have yet to share the other two ornaments we are making in class. I don't suppose you would like to see those would you? Both of the other ornaments are smaller than the first but oh so cute! Those participating in class may make a variation of this ornament with a variety of paper designs. Its so lovely with the bronze button and linen thread bow in the middle! Here's the third ornament. This is such a cut little one, I love it! Our new snowflake die adds so much to these ornaments don't you think? I used one of our Continue reading
Snowflake Soiree Watercolor Card
Today is Watercolor Class day! We'll be using several different mediums available through Stampin' Up! for watercoloring. Doesn't this look fun already? Here we go! It's hard to see all the variations in blue shades in this photo. We're going to have lots of fun making this card today! Are you planning to attend the Christmas Ornament Class? Would you like to have your own stamp set and framelits to use in class and at home? If so, please remember to RSVP very soon so I can order your supplies! Christmas Ornaments The Christmas Ornament on the front of the Holiday Catalog is Continue reading
Stampin’ Up! Evergreen Card
Believe it or not, we had a Christmas Card Class last evening and I've already figured out one card we'll be making at the next Christmas Card Class! Wow! If you know me, that a pretty good accomplishment! We will be using the Evergreen stamp set to make this beautiful card. I hope you will plan to join us on Thursday, October 4 at 6:00 P.M. at the Mason Dixon Library. Thank you for visiting today! Continue reading
Stampin’ Up! Christmas Blessings Card
I recently bought the Christmas Blessings stamp set and we're going to get right to work with it at the Christmas Card Class tonight! I saw a card someone else made and then changed it up to make my own version which you see here. I like how it turned out! Of course I don't think you can go wrong with holly can you? Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you at class tonight! Continue reading
Another Handmade Christmas Wreath
Yesterday I created another Christmas Wreath. It's very much like the first but I couldn't resist sharing. This one is going to go to Shrewsbury Christian Academy for their Silent Auction in November. Do I hear a bid out there? I have had interest from several in taking my wreath class by mail. Yes! I have my first kit out in the mail with several more in the process. If you are interested, please just contact me for details on shipping and I'll send a PayPal invoice. Of course if you live close to Stewartstown, PA, I hope you will join us for class! Here are the details: Fall Continue reading
