Merry Christmas!

Hello Stampers!  Just wanted to pop in to post my annual Christmas poem for you all so you can see what I got for Christmas! 

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm
glued to the tree.

I'm wondering what Santa brought just
for me.

Could it be cardstock or inkpads or
lace?

Or some stamps, I said, with a smile
on my face.

 

And that's when I heard him......

"Hi Santa, " I said

He replied, "You know....good
girls should be in their beds".

"I know I should Santa, and now
I've been caught.

But I was just so excited to see what
you brought."

 

"Well, let's take a look in this
room where you work".

He shook his head quickly, and left
with a jerk.

I heard him exclaim as he put it in
gear.

"You've got enough crap,

I'll see you next year!"

 

Have a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Countdown

Hello Stampers!  So sorry for the lack of posts this last week!  You know how life gets this time of year!

Every year I make some sort of countdown for the 25 days of Christmas for my girls.  Last year's was really fun, I made it with our 1" X 8" cello  bags (124134).  Click here to see last years.

Well, knowing I had to top those, I set out to make a better countdown this year!  Here is what I came up with:

 

Here is a close up:

Yep, there are 25 Candy Wrapper die boxes  that I cut out with the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439) and the Candy Wrapper die (120890).  The stamp set that I used was 25 & Counting (w - 123792 c - 123794) and I wrapped each box in the Be of Good Cheer designer series paper (126896).

I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Santa Countdown

Hello Stampers!  I wanted to show you another one of the fun items that went over really well at my craft fairs this fall.

There are 12 kisses in this countdown.  I wrapped them in a strip of cellophane and secured it between each kiss with yarn. 

For the punch art Santa I used the following punches:

hat: Extra-large oval, Boho Blossoms, Large oval

face: Large oval, Cupcake Builder, Bird Builder, Owl Builder

beard: Ornament

There is still time to make this countdown since there are exactly 12 days until Christmas!  Have fun making these, and let me see what you come up with!!!

 

December card class

Hello Stampers!  This week is my week of card classes!  I had one yesturday, and I have one this evening and also this Friday evening.  Want to see the cards we will be making?

I know it's still December, but I figured everybody will have already made their Christmas cards, or at least bought all of their supplies to make their cards, so this month we are featuring winter thank you's and a masculine birthday!

If you would like to attend class either tonight or Friday evening, please contact me and let me know!

Hope to see you soon!

 

Reindeer clips

Hello Stampers!  I have some super cute reindeer clips that we have made in a couple of my classes lately to show you.

Aren't they adorable?  And super easy to make!  They are actually on clothespins, so they would be super cute clipped on the ribbon of a present!

Can you tell which punches they are made from?  The head, eyes, and nose are from the Owl Builder punch (118074) and the antlers are from the Bird Builder punch (117191).

I used my all time favorite Christmas designer series paper, Be of Good Cheer (126896) to cover both sides of the clothespin!

These will be super cute with hearts for Valentine's Day, The Easter Bunny for Easter, etc!  Can't wait to see what else I can come up with!

My Digital Studio downloads and a project

Hello Stampers!  Welcome to My Digital Studio Tuesday!  I have some fun projects that I made today using one of today's downloads.

This is the Let's Be Jolly Frameable (132819).  I love to download these frameables, print it out, and add some embellishments.  You have an instant holiday decoration!

I also like to use the downloads for more than one project since I took the time and paid the money for the download!  So, I will convert these frameables into card fronts!  Then I can create fairly simple and quick cards like this:

If you order My Digital Studio 2 from me, and purchase and download a frameable, I will show you how to do this yourself!

Melted Snowman ornaments

Hello Stampers!  Man have I ever been busy this last week!  I know, we are all busy, but I have taught 5 classes and manned a two day craft fair all in the last 6 days!  I'm tired!  I have to share with you though what one of my biggest selling items was at my craft fair, melted snowman ornaments!  They are so cute!

They were so easy to make!  You just pour some salt in your glass ornament, throw in a few peppercorn (I used 7, 5 for mouth and 2 eyes) and cut a small carrot shape from ornage fun foam.  That's it!  Of course, you have to add some gorgeous Stampin' Up! ribbon!  This is the Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Scallop Dots ribbon (124138).

Now that my busy week is over, it's back to making fun Christmas goodies!  Come back often to see what I'm up to!
