Watercolor Winter

Good morning!  I am on a quest to use every stamp set that I have bought recently and not yet.  Today's project is with the stamp set Watercolor Winter and I bought it for this lovey poinsettia image.  I am more of a traditional red and green person as Christmas colors but decided to try the pinks and blues for this one.  I had to throw in the red though and found a piece of retired DSP which helped with the color combo.  The card front is embossed using the Holiday Frame folder which is only available until January 2.  Thanks for stopping by!

ps.....I had an email about gift certificates for Christmas yesterday.  I do have gift certificates available in any amount.

Angel Tree

Good morning!  Our church always does an Angel Tree and I have made the angels for the past 8 years.  I consider it not only an honor but a blessing to be able to do this.  I had bought a die a few years ago and we have used it every year but this year I wanted something a bit different so where else but Pinterest to find something.  My angel is a combination of several I saw on Pinterest.  I used the Scallop circle die for the body and the doily from the Perfect Pennants die for the arms.  The wings are made with the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die.  The head is a 1 1/4 inch circle punch.   There is a tag on the back attached with a ribbon, this is where we put the child's number and a list of the needs and wants for that child.  We use pink and blue tags to distinguish between boys and girls.  I had better get busy, I have a "few" of these to make.  Thanks for stopping by!

Perfectly Preserved Cherries

Good evening!  Today I have a little gift set made using the cherry image from Perfectly Preserved and the jar from the coordinating Framelit Dies.  My friend, Chris, gave me some fabric with cherries on it and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.  The next step was to find something to go in the jar, Sour Cherry candy was the perfect choice.  Thanks for stopping by!

O Christmas Tree

 

Good morning, make sure you vote today!  Today's project is a paper tree, well actually Styrofoam and paper.  It is 12 inches tall and will go perfectly with the one I made last year that was 18 inches.  I used the DSP from  a retired Scrappin Kit, cut it into 1/2 x 4 inch strips and attached them to the cone with straight pins.  It was a little time consuming but I love how it turned out.  Thanks for stopping by!

Heartfelt Thanks

Good afternoon!  I would like to thank all the folks who stopped by my booth at the Heritage Festival this past weekend, I had an awesome time.  Now, it is back to working toward the next one since i sold about everything I had.  Today I have a Fall card using one of the leaves from the Leaves #2 die.  I sponged it with Old Olive Cajun Craze, and Dafodil Delight.  I added a piece of Houndstooth and Scaringbone DSP and a layer of embossed Very  Vanilla and the base is Tangerine Tango.  Thanks for stopping by!

Jingle All the Way

 

 

Good morning!  Thanks for all the emails yesterday, I am glad you liked my little turkeys, they are fun.  Today I have a simple ornament using a wooden spool.  I had a bunch of bells left from another project and needed to use them.  I threaded the bell on a piece of floral wire, then through the spool and looped it at the top.  I added a piece of DSP and a bow and it was done.  Thanks for stopping by!

Turkey Time

Good morning! Whew!  I can't believe it is November already, I think October whooped me bad.  I had so much going on with birthdays and everything else that I can't remember when I slept more that 4-5 hours last.  And of course, Halloween had to go out with a boom, we were returning home after Trunk or Treat at church and had a little accident.  My husband and I both drove and I pulled in the driveway first and when we got out of the car, Dalton was running to meet Papa and fell and cut his hand.  We ended up at the ER to get glued back together.

I have a craft show this weekend, it is one that I have gone to for several years and my customers expect certain things to be there.  These little turkey favors are always popular.  I will have several versions but this one is my favorite.  I don't remember where I saw these, it would have been at least two years ago and I change it a little each time.  I used the Scalloped Circle punch to create the tail feathers, the one inch punch for the face, and the waddle is made from a small heart and then put a scalloped circle back in and take a bite out.  The head and tail feathers are sandwiched between a wrapped chocolate nugget.  Thanks for stopping by!

Book Tree

Good afternoon!  Today I have a tree to share with you made from an old paperback book.  It was a bit time consuming but very easy.  I removed the front and back covers, left the spine attached, and folded each sheet in toward the middle.  I sprayed it with a bit of glitter spray but it is hard to see in the photo and added a few die cut snowflakes.  Thanks for stopping by!
