A Framed Newsprint Noel

Posted on by

I can tell I’m ready to move on from Christmas cards.  I sat and stared at my Christmas-themed papers today, and couldn’t find any that I wanted to use. So I reached for an old favorite — First Edition (newsprint) and decided to pair it with the Lucky Limeade dsp stack (polka dots).  And now that I’m addicted to Pool Party once again, I reached for it too.

I stamped the holly from Watercolor Winter and then embossed the sentiment with black embossing powder over it.  I even pulled out my little sewing machine for this one.

Enjoy your Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:

Ink:  Lucky Limeade, Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Paper:  Pool Party, Very Vanilla, First Edition Specialty dsp, In-Color dsp stack
Embellishments:  Labels Collection framelits, Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Brushed Bronze designer buttons, Cherry Cobbler 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine

Pointsettia Pocket

I got this Petite Pocket die recently, and decided it was time to try it out.  I inserted a Very Vanilla card stock piece in it with the sentiment stamped across the top, and plenty of room to write a little note.

We got the tree up and the lights put up outside yesterday.  I’d prefer to decorate the tree with a nice fire going in the fireplace, but I had to turn on the air conditioner instead.  It’s just hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it’s so warm outside.  But I’d better find a way to get in it quickly or it will be over before I know it.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Watercolor Winter, Come to Bethlehem
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Primrose Petals
Paper:  Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Festival of Prints dsp stack
Embellishments:  Brights Designer Buttons, Very Vanilla 5/8″ Seam Binding ribbon, Linen Thread, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, Pearl Basics Jewels, Petite Pocket Bigz die, Woodgrain embossing folder, Color Spritzer tool, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter

Christmas Box

Posted on by

So did you get all your Christmas shopping done yesterday?  Ready to start gift wrapping?  If so, I have a box all ready to go for you today.  Unfortunately, this little box is empty, as I didn’t get any shopping done yesterday.  I’d rather do it online and avoid the crowds.  Plus, shopping on Black Friday requires organization — and I’m not that organized.

These cute little boxes are 25% off during Online Extravaganza.  If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should.  Here’s a view of one of the sides of the box.  I just stamped directly on the box sides.

Have a great Saturday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Watercolor Winter, Sweet Essentials

Paper:  Very Vanilla
Embellishments:  Kraft Gift Boxes, Cherry Cobbler 1/4″ Sweater Trim, Delicate Doilies Sizzlits L die, Pearl Basic Jewels, Color Spritzer Tool, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter

A Pinecone CASE

Posted on by

I tend to get my inspiration from lots of sources — magazines, catalogs, clothing, etc…  But one of the main ways I find inspiration is from other stampers.  When I saw this card made by Dawn McVey, I knew I wanted to make a Stampin’ Up! version of her card.  And since I just got the Watercolor Winter set, I knew just what to do.

Well, it will be a busy Saturday here.  Lots of birthday activities going on in our house.  Fun times!  Enjoy your weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps:  Watercolor Winter, Greetings of the Season
Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Festival of Prints dsp stack
