Holiday Lineup Christmas Frames

Merry Christmas!!!!

Today is Friday so it's still Bloggers' Challenge (no holidays for this group of ladies, lol!).  Today's theme, not surprisingly, is Christmas.  Today I'm sharing the gifts my boys made for their Godparents.

First is Collin's (my middle son).

Next is Jackson's (my youngest).

Dalton made one too using the elf lineup, but he had it wrapped up before I could take a photo.

I had the images already stamped on Watercolor Paper.  They used my Stampin' Write Markers to color the images.  The "Merry Christmas" is from All Holidays and punched out with the Ornament Punch.  They used the Big Shot and Shapers and Movers Bigz XL Die to add a layer to the ornament.  Collin's background is Holiday Lounge DSP and Jackson's is Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP.

I think they did a nice job and I know their Godparents are going to love the frames and the fact that they took the time to create them. 

I hope all of you have a very blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Thanks for the visit!

Last Day for 12 Days of Christmas and a Birthday Bag

Just a reminder that today is the LAST DAY to take advantage of the 12 Days of Christmas Special.  You can get select Big Shot items and Decor Element Sheets at a discount.  For the complete list, click here.  Then to shop online, click here.

I also have a Birthday Bag to share with you.  This is really simple, but I think it's so cute. 

 
I used Simple Birthday Thanks and stamped it with Soft Suede ink on a pattern of the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP (only available until January 4!) for the cupcake part.  Then I stamped the frosting with Soft Suede on Whisper White card stock.  The cherry is Real Red and the stem is the same pattern of the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP.  The sprinkles are Real Red as well.  Everything is adhered to a white gift bag that I had on hand.  Then to tie it all together, I used Real Red Polka Dot Grosgrain.

I hope my coworker (who gets the gift) will like it!

Thanks for the visit!

Another Dasher

I checked out this morning's CPS Sketch and thought of Dasher.  I definitely got my money's worth out of this stamp!  I hope you aren't sick of him yet!

I stamped Dasher with Soft Suede on Whisper White card stock.  My background is Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini.  I added a Whisper White Snowflake Punch to the top right corner.  My mattes are Soft Suede and the card base is Whisper White.  My final touch was making Dasher into Rudolph by adding a Real Red Crop-a-Dile circle punch.

Pretty simple, huh?  I hope this card provides some inspiration to you today!

Be sure to come back tomorrow!  Stampin' Up! is offering a special--I don't even know what it is yet, but it's sure to make the start of your holiday season bright!

Gobble Gobble

Happy Friday!  Today is Blogger's Challenge and our theme is Give Thanks.  I'm thankful for a lot of people in my life and all of my blog readers are part of that long list.  Thanks for stopping by each day and seeing what I'm up to!

My card also follows the CPS sketch (sorry, I originally put MOJO) for the week which you can check out here.

I inked up my stamp, Gobble Gobble (only $6.95in the Holiday Mini), with Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard, Always Artichoke and Ruby Red.  These are the colors in the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper.  I added a More Mustard button from the Playground Buttons and a piece of Orchards Ribbon Originals to finish my card.

Be sure to check back over the weekend and on Monday--you won't want to miss out what's happening then!! 

Thanks for the visit!

Christmas Treat Box

As promised, here's the other project we made at the Shorewood-Troy Library.  Stampin' Up! sells these food save Treat Boxes for only $3.95 for 5!  That's an awesome deal!  All you do is add some embellishments and your gift bag is ready to go!

 

We stamped our choice of ornaments from Delightful Decorations with Real Red ink on Very Vanilla card stock.  Then we punched them out using the Ornament Punch.  They are adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals and a piece of Gold Elastic Cording.  We also added a panel of Old Olive that has a Scallop Edge and Sleigh Bells Ribbon.

Who wouldn't love to get a treat in this box?

Serene Snowflakes Gift Bag

Last night I had the pleasure of teaching a class at the Shorewood-Troy Library.  We made two different gift bags.  I'll share one today and the other one tomorrow.

I love Lovely Lilac and Almost Amethyst for Christmas--a little non traditional, but oh so pretty!  We stamped white gift bags with Serene Snowflakes using Lovely Lilac ink.  The topper and bottom embellishment are Lovely Lilac as well.  The snowflakes, made with the Snowflake Punch, are made with Almost Amethyst and have a Silver Brad center.  The sentiment comes from Many Merry Messages.

What I really enjoy with a class is the different things the people do with the same supplies.  A few of the ladies added the Eyelet Border Punch to the topper as well.  That looked really nice.  A few punch the snowflake out of the backside of the topper.  Another great idea.  But, everyone was happy with their final projects!

Stop by tomorrow to see the other treat bag we made!

Thanks for the visit!

Holiday Best Mojo

I love this Christmas image from the Holiday Best Hostess Set.  I especially like it in Real Red matched up with Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini!  I thought it was perfect for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

I stamped the image from Holiday Best with Real Red on Whisper White and then punched it out with the Ornament Punch.  TIP:  Remember to always stamp first, then punch!  To get the Real Red layer for the ornament, I used my Big Shot, Curly Label Movers and Shapers XL Bigz Die (a must have) and the Holiday Windows Movers and Shapers.  Then I used 2 different patterns from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP to create the needed panels to match the sketch.  I added a piece of Whisper White Taffeta.  My card base is Whisper White.

Do you have plans for Friday, November 20th?  If not and you live in the Plainfield, IL area, be sure to come to my Open Crop.  This is a time perfect for you to work on your holiday cards!  You bring all of your own supplies.  I will have my Christmas stamps out for you to use if you wish (but bring your own inks).  It's FREE, unless you want to use my Big Shot, then there is a $5 fee.  Also, everyone brings their own drinks and a snack or dessert to share.

If you plan on joining us, I need to know my November 18.  Just email me to let me know.

Shimmerz Paint Meets Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder

I was playing around with my Shimmerz Paint and decided to see what would happen if I put Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on it.  I really liked the look.  All three ornaments are done in this way.

Using Shimmerz Paint (I used Frost White) instead of Versamark with the Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder gives you a more opaque look.

What do you think of the background paper??  Isn't it gorgeous??  It's the new Bride Designer Specialty Paper--of course it's not just for Brides!

Here's what I used for this card:

Card Stock:  Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bride DP

Accessories:  Frost White Shimmerz Paint, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Ornament Punch, Silver Elastic Cording, Stampin' Dimensionals.
