The Tidings of Joy stamp set is a lovely set! I look forward to sharing it in an upcoming Christmas Card class as we make this card. Embossing it in gold on Very Vanilla cardstock makes an absolutely beautiful card! Can you believe today is the last day of October? I hope it's a wonderful one for you! Continue reading
Snow Means Christmas Stamping!
With all the snow here in PA yesterday, I was able to snag a little time to create some Christmas cards. This particular card was inspired by another I saw and I just had to recreate it with a couple little changes. Isn't it beautiful? We will be making this card at one of the upcoming Christmas card classes. I'm not positive which one at this point but you can be sure you'll see it if you're attending the classes! With a very busy schedule ahead of me, I'm trying to work ahead a bit - wish me well! Have a wonderful Sunday! Continue reading
Handmade Paper Christmas Ornaments
I'm excited to share two of the ornaments we're making in the Christmas Decor class! These are such simple ornaments but so lovely! This heart really could be used for Valentines Day too! Can't you see it hanging on your tree or from the handle of a gift bag? In fact I could see it hanging on a little tree all year-round! This one is super cute too! How fun would it be to have a small little tree with handmade ornaments like this in a variety of colors hanging all over it? You're going to be amazed at how easy they are to make too! Be sure to sign up for one of the remaining Continue reading
SU! Charming Card Keepers
We had a great time with the first session of the Gift those Cards class last evening. I thought you might like to see a picture of the Card Keeper boxes made last evening. I'm afraid it isn't the best picture but you get the idea. I look forward to seeing the rest of them when they get finished! Isn't it amazing how all these were made at the same class but they're all so different? Those participating in the class have the option of a bunch of different card designs. This is one of the options and it turned out to be very well liked, so well liked they made up all the kits I had Continue reading
Golden Merry & Type Embossing
The ornaments in the Merry & Type stamp set are absolutely beautiful, especially when they're embossed in gold! Add some Very Vanilla cardstock that's embossed with the Snow Burst embossing folder and you've got one gorgeous Christmas Card! Happy Monday! Continue reading
Garden Green Lolly Christmas Ornament
I have another Christmas ornament to share with you today, one made using the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set and the Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die. For those who are curious, I haven't decided yet if this will be one of the ornaments included in the Christmas Decor class. I guess you'll just have to attend class to find out! I appreciate the comments some of you have been leaving lately, they mean a lot! Continue reading
Holiday Happiness Christmas Card
This card was well liked at the Christmas Card class on Thursday. All of the stamps are from the Holiday Happiness stamp set. It's simple with a bit of a contemporary feel! Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Continue reading
Handmade Christmas Ornaments Share
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
Snow Much Fun Merry Christmas
Here is another Christmas Card we will be making in class tomorrow evening at the Mason Dixon Library in Stewartstown, PA. I took a card I saw that someone else had made and changed up a bunch of things (DSP, ribbon, sentiment) to make my own version. You certainly can't deny the Christmas colors in this one can you? We'll be using the Snow Much Fun stamp set along with the sentiment from the Petite Pairs stamp set and Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper. See some of you in class tomorrow evening! Continue reading
Cherry Cobbler Snow Swirled Christmas
I can't wait to make this card with those attending the October 20 Christmas Card class! I got the idea from someone else and just had to copy it with one small change. Isn't it beautiful?! I'm sure it's going to be a favorite! Have a wonderful day! I hope you can find some time to stamp today! Continue reading
Snowman Christmas Card from Above
I made this Christmas card last week and thought I'd share it. I got the idea from someone else. I think the snowman is cute, as if you're looking down at him from above. (Unfortunately when I showed it to members of one of my classes last week they thought he was melted . . . I hadn't seen that at all. It's just not as fun it if you look at it that way!) This Thursday evening is the 4th Christmas Card Class. They're just flying by and filling fast! There is one space available in the class (spot is taken). If you are interested, please contact me ASAP to reserve your spot. The other 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
