Toile Tidings Christmas Wreath Card

We made this pretty Christmas wreath card at club in November.  The stamps and dies are from the Tidings All Around bundle on page 7 of the Holiday catalog.  See it here

This pretty paper is called Toile Tidings (seen here) and it's all Red and Garden Green with Vanilla. Each sheet is the same pattern on both sides but one is Red and the other side is Green.  So easy to use!  You know how it is with double sided designer paper; there's always a decision - which side to use.  This way the only decision is which color!  

Isn't it pretty?  I love the traditional patterns.  Here's a photo of the stamp set and dies bundle.  Click on it to see it in my store. 

I made a video with the 'how to' on this card.  It's short but full of good tips! Click below to watch it.

Snow Globe Shaker ornament!

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  To us the Holiday's are all about spending time with family.  And a bit of shopping and of course food!  It seems like the menu is a big priority for us. All of my kids enjoy cooking so everyone chips in making their favorites and a few new recipes too.   

I find lots of recipes to try out on Pinterest; my board is filled with half recipes and half stamping projects!  How about yours?  

I made these pretty Christmas ornaments on my Facebook Live this week Tuesday. 

You can see the video on my Facebook page here. 

You may wonder where I found that Navy & Silver ribbon on the left ornament.  I colored our White & Silver edged ribbon with Night of Navy ink and a sponge dauber. The copper star background on my ornaments is the Brightly Gleaming designer paper.  It isn't available any longer; it's sold out unfortunately. 

I used the Snow Globe Shaker domes in the Holiday catalog.  They're so fun to use and amazingly easy too!  I hope you can watch the video above.

I added the snow globe base to this one.  It's two die-cuts in the Snow Globe Scenes dies; one solid and one detailed. 

Here's a close up of the copper one. Inside is the Snowflake Sequins and Stampin' Ice Glitter.  The dome is usually flat side down but I switched it up so it was round at the bottom plus I could adhere the bow and sprigs at the top. 

You can see these items in my online store below. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you're enjoying a good times and a special meal with your favorite people! 

We are with our kids this weekend; which is my top priority.  Food, games, crafts and shopping is what's happening with us.

Here are a few pretty scenic cards featuring the Nature's Beauty stamp set. 

I created these on a recent Facebook Live video you can see here.  For the background here I used some post-it notes as a mask to create the sponged hills.  

The colors are Pacific Point, Calypso Coral and Crumb Cake.  

I really love this stamp set and the fact that Stampin' Up! is donating $3 of every sale towards Mental Health Organizations makes me love it ever more!  What a worthy cause.  You can see this set here in my online store.

Tidings All Around Wreath Ornament

I made these cute ornaments with the Tidings All Around bundle last week on my Facebook Live.  They're actually quite easy to make.

You can see the video here on my Facebook page:   Be sure to follow my page if you want to be notified when I am online - it's every Tuesday at 11 am.

I cut two wreaths from Granny Apple Green and two from Mossy Meadow card stock for each ornament.  They're double sided!  One side could easily be a photo of your favorite child or even a pet.   The center is a White 2 1/4" circle that I stamped the greeting onto.  

You can see the Tidings All Around bundle here.  I have a free cards tutorial featuring this bundle for all online orders in November!

Snow Globe Shaker card with video!

My club gals couldn't believe how simple this Still Scenes Snow Globe Shaker card was to make!  

After cutting out a few die shapes it was an easy assembly process that went super quickly!  The Feels Like Frost designer paper is perfect for the background of these cards.  Each piece is an actual photo of frosty images! Unfortunately I believe this incredible paper is out of stock.  At this time it's not available to order. I'm waiting to see what Stampin' Up! says about it today. 

These snow globe cards are about 3/8" high and can be mailed in a regular envelope if you write 'hand cancel' on the front of the envelope and take it in to your post office.  It's just .70 cents to mail! 

However I did offer my gals a piece of window sheet if they wanted to make a flat card instead.  The card on the left (and below) with the polar bears is done that way. I called it a 'faux shaker' card.  I adhered some of the Snowflake Sequins to the trees with Multipurpose adhesive. 

I hope you can watch the short video below to see how it's done.  The Snow Globe Shaker domes make it incredibly easy.  They're on low inventory right now so I hope you can get some before they're gone.  Click here to see them and here for the Still Scenes dies that you need for the shaker window and beautiful die-cuts.

A Pine Tree Punch candy treat box

This treat box is cute and clever!!!  It's made from just two pieces of paper, ribbon and the Pine Tree punch.  I made it on my weekly Facebook Live videos three weeks ago.  I'd love it if you could join me each Tuesday at 11 am.  Click here and be sure to follow my page so you get notified when I'm on each week. 

You actually insert the top of the card stock into the Pine Tree punch (seen here); it's all one piece!  Watch how it's made on this Facebook Live video.  Click here.

I sure hope this punch and the Wrapped in Plaid paper doesn't sell out!  If you want it; don't wait!  Go here to order.

You start with a 1 1/2" X 7 1/4" piece of card stock.  Score it at 2 1/2" and 3".  The Wrapped in Plaid designer paper is 1 3/8"X 2 3/8".  I added a few Kit Kat bars in mine.  

I did not come up with this idea myself; I cased it from Beth Tetzlaff.  Clever right?!?
