Snow Wonderful

 Day 4: Let it Snow

I debated several different things for this one but ended up going fairly simple! The background is embossed with the snowflake folder "Northern Flurry" on Shimmery White cardstock (click to enlarge if you can't see that!). Saying is from Greetings of the Season from a couple years ago. I went through my ribbons, settled on a satin and chose Night of Navy. I had others that would work just as well: Real Red, White, Vanilla, Gold, etc. Then I decided it needed some bling and grabbed my box of embellishments. Found a sheet of "holiday rhinestones" that included Night of Navy. Perfect for snowflake centers and other accents!

Thanks for stopping by today! The only current items here are the Night of Navy cardstock and ink. Sorry, I'm working with a huge stash of retired everything :)

Days 2 & 3 Christmas

Back to Christmas! I'm caught up for today, posting 2 & 3 now, will do 4 in the morning and hope to get 5 done sometime tomorrow! So fun to dig and look at options to create with :)

Day 2: Deck the Halls. 

I did two because I wanted to see the different shapes! This set, Ornamental Keepsakes has several ornaments and dies that coordinate so I did "3D ornaments". I stamped and cut 3 of each, scored a line down the center and attached the 3 together. Basically, there is one in the center, that you see in the pics, and there is another on each side! We had another set that was ornaments with a coordinating punch - I did alot of these back then! Click HERE to see one of them and the description of how I did it, maybe it makes more sense than what I just typed!

Why Baja Breeze? Because I found glitter (chunky glitter, not fine!) that said it was Baja Breeze! Card base is Baja Breeze, ornaments stamped in Baja Breeze. I did the glitter with Sticky Tape, we don't have that anymore, but I imagine the Tear &Ttape would work, or Stampin' Seal or Seal + but you would need a steady hand to get a straight line!! 

I did the glitter on each at 3/4", using my Grid paper to set it mostly straight! On the top one, it seemed a little plain with just the glitter and ornament, so I dug out some small, dotted circle stamps and made a background. The 2nd one has a little bit of texture, but it isn't showing well! Used a "line" folder. Accent layer on each is Basic Gray and sparkly ribbon is knotted around the top of the ornament.

The greeting on the top one is from a recent, but no longer current set, Seasonal Tags. The bottom one is from Warm Words.

Day 3: Santas Workshop

I don't have many Santa stamps! Not really sure why. But I do love this one and it has a fabulous tree too, and a Santa face. Old Fashioned Christmas. I'm not a fan of coloring though. I considered it but would likely still be there and missing dinner! I flipped through some DSP and found this awesome piece in an old pack. The other side are quite patterned and geometric almost, but I love this plaid! Cherry Cobbler card base and the print is mostly that. I can't tell if it's a green or CrumbCake in the pattern, but I like it!

I cut a Basic White with the Textured Notes die. Stamped the rectangle from The Shape of Things at the bottom in Crumb Cake and then added the saying at the top and Santa over the rectangle in Cherry Cobbler. Took a stamp positioner and some patience but I like the result! Accent layer of Crumb Cake, base of Cherry Cobbler. Awesome Cherry Cobbler with Gold trim ribbon for a pop!

Star Birthday

Howdy all! Hope to get back to the Christmas challenge today, but first here are some Birthday cards using the Shining Stars dies! Still available, still just $5 with a $75 purchase (US). So fun!

I went through and found some current DSP. I have boxes of old/retired, but very little that is current. And partly because they don't stay current very long! Anyway, these use the Violet Dreams pack. Such pretty colors and a great blend! My apologies the pictures aren't great, colors are not as vivid as in person. My usual picture setup didn't work; the lines completely went away!

Colors are Secret Sea, Peaceful Pine, Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia. Top two have Gorgeous Grape card bases with Peaceful Pine accent layer. Bottom one is Secret Sea with Fresh Freesia. I pulled out my Simply Scored board which I have not used in forever! But what an easy, quick accent to add score lines! I measured the star (approx 2") and decided I needed lines at about an inch above and below. The tool has measurements, so it was super easy to put the white layer down, score at 1 and 3, and then add one more line just outside those!

Happy Birthday is from the previous POM set Fabulous Sayings. Accent in the center star is from the Violet Dreams Suite -Adhesive Backed Blooms. So pretty! I've struggled to find a good use for them, but this works perfect! Unfortunately, they are on the Last Chance list so get them soon!

Thanks for stopping by! Current Products linked below! Wish me luck getting to the stamp room today! Just a few chores on the agenda, no need to be anywhere!!

Shining Stars Christmas

Happy Monday all! I broke into the Shining Stars dies last week, and wow! I combined them with some patterned DSP paper and came out with this!

This is NOT my Day 2 card BTW. Have a plan for that later!

Real Red Card base, Old Olive accent layer. Very Vanilla top layer over patterned DSP. I cut one star through the Very Vanilla, then added smaller ones around. A simple Merry Christmas across the bottom and some Read Red bling finish it off! Simple and fun! I spent some time yesterday cutting stars out of the smaller pieces in this pack of paper, then cut all the pages down to background size. You may see more of these!!

Nice Stocking

Morning all, Happy November! There is another "card a day" challenge this month, Christmas themed this go around. I'm insane to even consider trying it but here we go!

Day 1 theme: Have Yourself a Mice Christmas. I've never had anything mice themed that I remember, and I didn't find anything in my cupboard or DSP stacks. So, I went with Nice! Several stamp options with the Naught/Nice theme!

Most of the items I used are retired, but current will be linked below. Card base is Real Red, stocking and saying are stamped in Real Red on Basic White. Background is DSP (old!) from the Candy Cane Christmas pack, but the red sparkle dots called to me :) The stocking piece is cut with a rectangle die from the Textured Notes dies, the square from the new Tile Garden dies. The stocking is from the retired Holiday Basics, the saying from Tags 'til Christmas. I was initially thinking of using eyelets on this, this set seems to call for them. But I think the peppermint dots work just as well! The fibers at the top are super old, we used to have something called "Fancy Fibers". This is from the bold pack. I cut a second "top" of the stocking, wrapped/attached fiber to it, then attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Thanks for stopping by today! And please, keep me accountable on this. I had tons of fun in May doing it!! Headed for more time in the stamp room, needs a good clean up and hopefully I can work ahead!
