More Stamped paper

 I did two versions of this package but for some reason I only took pictures of this one.
The packing paper was stamped with the Serene Snowflakes Set (115438). I used several shades of greens; Pear Pizzazz (119784) Wild Wasabi (109014) and Garden Green (102272)  and Whisper White ink (101731) each stamp was stamped randomly over the paper.

The ornament is the same as the one from my ornament class

The snowman covered chocolate is a direct case from Heather Summers , she created the template in MDS. I printed out her template and wrapped it around  a Hershey chocolate bar. 

I used some left over Holly Berry Bouquet fabric (124065) to create the hat and scarf, I threaded two Mini Jingle Bells (124116); both from the Holiday mini; onto some Whisper White Bakers Twine (124262) to finish.


The blue version used Baha Breeze (111833), Marina Mist (119668) and Not Quite Navy ( 103008)



These were fun to do even though it was ripped apart to get to the gift inside.

Christmas Ornaments Class 1

I came across the video of this ornament and had a great time creating it so I thought it would be fun to have a class making Christmas tree ornaments from paper and SU supplies.This one can be a package topper and then hang on the tree it can then be folded up to be put away for storage, to be used again next year.

Stamp Sets: Serene Snowflakes, Holiday Happiness
  Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, 1/2" circle punch, 1/8" Red Taffeta ribbon, Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

 I loved this but it was time consuming and I wanted to make several different ornaments in the class so....... I decided to try using DSP rather than stamping so much.

 This one was made using the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP, Basic Black card stock and 1/8th " Black taffeta ribbon, the stamp sets for the front and back are Serene Snowflakes and Bells and Boughs, Versamark Ink and white embossing powder

 This one uses the same supplies but the paper is folded the opposite way/

 The plaid one here is using the Frostwood Lodge DSP and Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Ribbon

The Green and Pink paper is from Letters to Santa DSP and I used Lucky Limeade Cardstock and Ribbon

This is the same DSP folded the other way. These took only a few minutes to create and they were one of 7 ornaments that we created in the ornament class.

Come back in the next few days to see more of this class.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cased Snowflakes

 This card was cased from Andrea Walford; I love the simplicity of it. I needed something that fit the season but was more masculine and this seemed to fit the bill.

Stamp Sets: Serene Snowflakes, Contempo Christmas

Ink: Night of Navy, Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake

Paper: Night of Navy, Whisper White, Crumb Cake

Accessories: Scallop Trim Border Punch, 5/8" Night of Navy Grosgrain ribbon, Basic Jewels Rhinestones

This is the inside of the card I used the 3 snowflake stamp from Serene Snowflakes set and stamped with the Night of Navy 3 times before re-inking.

I did the same thing with the snowflake stamp on the envelope.


The sentiment comes from Many Merry Messagaes.

I created an alternate color combo using Always Artichoke, Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake. The Always Artichoke Seam binding replaces the 5/8" ribbon. I like the effect I got with this too.



Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to visit.

Hamilton Regional bound!! So excited!

Well this afternoon I leave for Hamilton to attend the regional meeting there on Saturday and Friday evening I will be attending the Pre-Regionals Stamping event hosted by Heather Summers. I have taken many of her on-line classes and can't wait to actually meet her. You can find her blog here:

http://stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/

Check it out you will love it. She is a top Canadian Stampin'Up demo.
For this event there will be all kind of activities, games, prizes, lots of fun but a shoebox swap is the first thing we will be doing. If we wanted to participate we had to design and create a card and put together the makings for 5 more cards, it had to be doable in 10 minutes; what a challenge!
This is the card I will be using for my shoebox swap:

  It is a red version of my card I posted here:

http://papercraftsloveaffair.blogspot.com/2010/09/monday-lunchtime-sketch-challenge-138.html

 I used the Jolly Holiday DSP and the Bright Christmas stamp set and also the 3 snowflake stamp that is in the set Serene Snowflakes. The ink is Blushing Bride and Cherry Cobbler. The die cuts are the #2 Snowflake Big Shot die and the new Northern Frost decorative strip in Very Vanilla cardstock.

The brad is a Blushing Bride Glimmer brads in the In-Color pkg. The sentiment is based on a shortened scalloped square from the new square duo die in the Holiday mini catalogue. I really like the bright colors of this card, it is very different from the green one in the earlier posting.

I also decided to decorate the inside of my sample because Heather will send all the samples off to the local Ronald McDonald House.

I used the 3 snowflake stamp again with the Blushing Bride ink and a verse from the Occasional Quotes Hostess set.

I I really like the end result and hope everyone enjoys putting it together.

 ....I will post my swap card later so check back in a day or so.

Thanks for visiting!

Post-it Notes

Working on my samples and door prizes for my card workshop coming up next week. These are from the same source as this post; http://papercraftsloveaffair.blogspot.com/2009/08/post-it-note-holders.html, they are fun and easy as well as very useful. I love the way the snowflakes pretty up the plain Whisper White and Craft paper. There is glitter on one of the Craft ones but I decided against adding it to the others as I think it would be messy on this project; it gets handled too much.

Thanks for looking.

Have a great day!
