Holiday Treasures Santa Friend

This card I did 2 ways by reversing the Holiday Treasure DSP patterns. I think I prefer the card that has mostly Olive as the small square background. It doesn't take the focus of the Santa stamp from the Deer Friends hostess set. I CASED this sketch from an excellent card I found in the SCS Gallery by Jodie. Thanks for sharing Jodie!

Oldie but a Goodie!

I had a chance this weekend to work on Christmas cards with a friend from MOMS Club. We had a great time and I did get some cards whipped out.

This is one of my favorite snowmen from the Retired Tags and More set. So simple and cute and made an easy card with Stampin' Ups Holiday Treasure DSP.

It's December Already!

I can't believe it's December already. I am glad to be back home from all the Holiday visiting last week! I have miss out on some challenges! This card covers two, todays technique challenge Speckled Backgrounds and last weeks sketch challenge 204 on Splitcoast Stampers.

This technique was fairly simple. I brayered the glossy cardstock with Bordering Blue and Sponged a little Not Quite Navy ink as well. Then I just sprayed some Simple Green straight from the bottle onto the cardstock and dried it with my heat tool.Brayer spray and go! So glad to be back home from the Holiday visiting and back to stamping! Can't believe December is here!!!

Triangle Fold Medallion Thank You

Ok so this took me awhile to figure out. I had time today to try Monday's Technique challenge on Splitcoast stampers to make a Triangle Fold Medallion. I was forever trying to stick the triangle into the pocket folds and it was not working DUH!! So once I figured out that I just had to add adhesive to the triangles everything started taking shape. I was almost ready to throw in the towel :)

I am planning on send this card to the wonderful art instructors at the Mill Gallery in Honeoye Falls. They so graciously offered an art class for my MOMS Club group yesterday. They had the kids stamp with tons of different vegetables, peppers, sweet potatoes, turnips, califlower, etc. They had feathers, yarn and beans for the kids to add to their masterpieces. It was alot of fun!

This is Amber's Masterpiece that I assisted her on, she is 15 months old. She enjoyed tasting the vegetables. So let me just say she had a orange mouth a couple times. I wish I would have remembered my camera.

And here is Morgan's Masterpiece, she is 3. She enjoyed using the paint brush more than the vegetables. She did add a few beans and some yarn to her design, I am surprised we didn't have to save them and tote them around with us. She is into all the small toys!



Afterwards, we got to take a walk through of the gallery, there truely is a ton of great art on showcase. The 'Birds of a Feather' opening reception is tonight featuring a collection of works for internationally acclaimed avain artist Raymond J. Easton. His paintings were fabulous! The birds he painted were so detailed, they could be mistaken for a picture.

A Cupcake Birthday!

This card is for my mom. We are having family over this weekend to celebrate her birthday with the family. I added Stickles to the cherries to get it a little bit of Sparkle which seems to be happening to alot of my projects lately. Maybe its due to all this snow :)

Stokoe Farms Fun

This is my little Amber having a great day at Stokoe Farms. This is a great place to visit in the fall. She loved playing in the corn pit. And had it hidden everywhere, shoes, ears and of course her diaper :) She was not happy when I pulled her out of there to do something else.

CC193 Season of Joy

This card is for Splitcoast Stampers color challenge 193. At first I wasn't sure about these colors, Real Red, Basic Black and Kraft. After looking though the gallery I really saw its true potential. I cased this card from jpardoe you can see the original card here.

I really like the layout she used for the card and I thought I could make it over with the Season of Joy set. I like the sparkle that the Stickles add. Still like the original better :)

My Christmas Countdown Calendar is finally done!!

I have been wanting to do this project since last year when I saw it posted on Splitcoast Stampers. I finally made the time to do it. This is a very time consuming project, I would say it took me a week on and off to complete. Check out the awesome tutorial by Beate Johns here.

Here is my finished project. The worst part by far was cutting out each letter and then embossing them with the Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder. It took awhile and it was my last step, I just wanted to be done.

Love the Polar Bear!

This is a great sketch for Sketch Challenge 202!



I used the Crop-A-Dile to set the eyelets, it is a pretty bulky tool. I am still trying to get used to it. My DH and DDs got it for my birthday in September :)

Holiday Gift Card Holder

This is a card we made at my Holiday Stamp Camp this year.

It is a great card to give with your holiday gift cards this season and it is very simple to make.














First you want to start with a 4 x 11 sheet of cardstock. Score this piece at 3", 5 1/2" and 8". Now is the time to add any background stamping!

Next fold in half and then fold each side up toward the fold to make a 'W' shape.




Next we are going to punch out the notch for the gift card to slide in. I used the tag punch and a circle punch.

Just make sure you leave a little space on each end to keep the fold together.




Apply adhesive to the bottom of the pocket only.

You want to leave the rest of the area free of adhesive so that you can slide the gift card in.


Then it is time to decorate!
