Matchbook Candy Holder

I have a little gift item to show you today.  It's a matchbook candy holder--it holds a Ghiradelli candy perfectly!  You can see the tutorial here.

The snowman from Jolliest Time of the Year is the outside.  Then the Merry Christmas from All Holidays is the inside and the part that holds the candy.

My colors are Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and Whisper White.  I used Silver Brads to hold the inside piece.  I also used Serene Snowflakes on the piece with Merry Christmas.  I'm really happy with how these turned out--such a cute idea for a "little something" to give at the holidays.

Thanks for the visit!

Flower Folds Bigz Die--Candleholder

Good Friday Morning!  For those of you brave enough to shop on this Friday morning, good luck in finding all of your treasures!  I am not one of those people, so I'll share this project instead.

Today is Bloggers' Challenge and our theme is "Alter It".  Well, I'm altering something a bit unusual--a piece of aluminum flashing (yep, the flashing used on houses).  Take a look.

I used the Flower Folds Bigz XL Die and my Big Shot to create the candleholder base.  Then to hold the tealight candle, I used the small flower from Daisies #2 Bigz Die.  I've seen this idea with the Snowflake Bigz Die and thought it would work just as well with the Flower Folds.  You do have to be careful working with the flashing because it can be sharp.

I glued the different pieces together with a hot glue gun.  Although since I plan to make more, I'm going to the hardware store and getting some kind of adhesive to use with metal (I'm sure something exists, right?).  

ETA:  I could not remember where I saw the snowflake candle holder that I referred to above, but Wanda commented and now I know I saw it on her site. 

Thanks for the visit!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you have a day filled with love from family and friends!  We are spending the day at my Mom's with my family--it's always a good day with lots of laughs and food!

I have a little punch turkey card to say thanks to you--my customers and blog readers!  My card follows the sketch on SCS this week and uses the color challenge on Our Creative Corner.

There's not much stamping on this card--just "thanks" from Fundamental Phrases.  My turkey is made with the following punches:  1 1/4" Circle, 1" Circle, Small Oval, Small Star (beak), Horizontal Punch (gobble and feet), and Double Circle Punch (eyes).

The colors from the challenge are Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie and a neutral (Very Vanilla).  The curvy piece (part of the sketch challenge) is from the Cast a Spell DSP.  It's Pumpkin Pie so it fit perfectly!

It's hard to see, but my Very Vanilla panel was run through the Big Shot with the Texture #4 Plates.  I just needed a little texture on that panel.

Be sure to check back tomorrow--it's Bloggers' Challenge and I have a cool gift item to show you.

Have a wonderful holiday and thanks for the visit!

Jolliest Time of the Year

I'm using Jolliest Time of the Year, but it also applies to the HUGE SALE Stampin' Up! is having this week only (until November 30).  Be sure to check it out!

My card for today uses the color challenge on SCS and the Mojo Monday sketch for the week.  This really was a challenge for me because I wanted to make a Christmas card.  The colors are Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.  You can see I used very little Bermuda Bay.

I stamped the tree from Jolliest Time of the Year with Black Stazon on Watercolor Paper.  I used the AquaPainter and reinkers to color it.  I used a pattern from Tea Party Designer Series Paper.  My top accent is created with the Scallop Edge Punch and Whisper White Taffeta.  Very non traditional Christmas colors, but I like it.  I hope you do too!

Thanks for the visit!

 

Photos from the Waterfall Scrapbook Class

I know I'm late in posting these photos that Tracy took at our Waterfall Scrapbook Class. But better late than never, right?

What is so much fun about a class like this (besides stamping with a great group of ladies!) is the creativity!  Everyone has just a little different style in decorating the scrapbook, but all of them turned out beautifully.

Thanks to all of you that attended.  And thanks to my downline, Tracy and Kim!  I love having classes with you!

Be sure to check back.  I'm heading down to my stamp room and will have projects to share for the rest of the week.

If you haven't taken advantage of the great special going on right now, be sure to click here to see the sale prices.  Then you can shop online at anytime.  Remember, with an order of $50, your name will go in a drawing to win a $35 Gift Certificate from me!  The savings and special offer from me are only good until November 30!

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!

Thanks for the visit!
 

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!

Extreme Elements Birthday

Happy Birthday to my son, Collin!  Today he is 14 years old! 

Here he is as a baby!  He was totally intrigued by the rain hitting the glass.  Isn't he adorable?  Here's a more recent photo.

OK, this photo is a year old, but I don't have my more recent ones of him alone downloaded and he hasn't changed too much (still cute as can be, lol).  Both of these photos were taken in Florida.  We lived there when he was a baby and then we visited my brother last summer.

Now for Collin's birthday card...

I made my background with Extreme Elements using Basic Gray ink.  Some of the images are lighter because I stamped off.  The Happy Birthday is from the sets under $10 (this one is on the dormant list).  My card stock is Whisper White and Basic Black.  Pretty simple to make, but I think he'll like it!

Be sure to tune in to my website next week--there's something going on that you won't want to miss!

Thanks for the visit!
