Some Christmas Ideas

So as we make the 3 hour drive up from Ft Myers to Disney I thought would try to upload some more projects for you.  Things I have good intentions to do but don’t always get to unfortunately.

So here are some more pictures from Convention.  Great ideas with one Christmas stamp set:

  This bag is easy to do and what better way to give a gift than with homemade packaging?  Here the stamper white embossed the snowflakes on a strip of Real Red cs and mounted it onto some Glorious Green (ormaybe Garden Green cs) and then adhered that to the brown bag that you can purchase at your local craft store.  And notice that tag?  That stamp is also in the stamp set.  You could stamp all your Christmas tags with that one stamp.  Quick, simple, pretty and personal! 

And this card (sorry it’s hard to see) is that same snowflake white embossed (or Iridescent Ice Embossing powder would be gorgeous too!) on Almost Amethyst cs.  The sentiment is also in the same stamp set. Add a white scalloped edge and a white ribbon and voila – you’re done!

Sorry it’s sideways – I’m losing battery power on the lap top and don’t want to take the time to fix it.  Anyway, an adorable redipe card holder.  Cover a jumbo clothes pin with designer paper, punch out a circle for the body, a smaller one for the head, and a few small ovals (or word windows) for the arms and legs.  A few squiggles with the white gel pen, some 1/4" circles for eyes and button and you have an adorable gingerbread man! And notice the sentiment from the stamp set as well.  Super cute!

Where to begin with the above photo?  Scrapbook pages, mini treat bags, top note gift box, cards, and more!  The possibilities are endless with this great stamp set!  And you may remember these cards done with the set as well.

Four Reasons for this card…

So… my friend Mary showed me some great Thanksgiving Day easel cards she was making not too long ago.  If you know Mary you know she likes the more involved, intricate type projects (remember this?) so I thought to myself, ‘must not attempt easel card.’  LOL

Well, in the last couple weeks these easel cards have started popping up everywhere in the online stamping world.  So I thought maybe I should reconsider my original thoughts on these and try something new!  And then it turned out that splitcoaststampers posted a tutorial on them and then I discovered the Crazy 4 Challenges blog posted an easel card for a challenge last week.  Of course I didn’t get my card done in time for the challenge deadline, but that’s okay.  I actually combined it with this week’s C4C Challenge of using acetate as well! 

So have you counted three reasons thus far as to why I created this card?  1) to attempt something new 2) to participate in the easel card challenge 3) to participate in the acetate challenge.  What’s number 4 you ask?  To create a project to be made at this week’s Stamp Club meeting!!  Hope my clubbers like it!!

If anyone from SU! is reading this, please don’t ever retire the ‘Lovely as a Tree’ stamp set!  It’s such a wonderfully fabulous versatile stamp set!  I white embossed the trees onto Night of Navy cardstock.  See the snowflake acetate covering the trees?  I used Frost White Shimmer Paint for the snowflakes using the new ‘Serene Snowflakes’ stamp set.  The sentiment ‘warm winter wishes’ comes from the hostess stamp set ‘The More the Merrier’ and I used the shimmer paint for that as well.  And just to add more sparkle (and a prop for the easel) I put a strip of sticky strip across the base and covered it with the Silver Glass mix beads.  That’s another product I don’t use enough!  Love how it sparkles (of course it looks better IRL, but use your imagination!) 

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about product used on this card.  Take care!
