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.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Ornaments Class 3

 These ornaments, as seen in the Holiday Mini pg 28,were created by cutting paper from the Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty DSP pack into 12 1.5" squares. We then made each of these into a cone, again using the Tombo Liquid Multi glue and mini clothes pins to hold until they were dry.
 

They were then glued onto a Scallop Circle punched from real Red Cardstock using the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive sheets. This adhesive is wonderful as it makes punches and die cuts into a sticker.

We glued the cones on at the 12-3-6-9 places on the clock first then filled in the areas between.

Next we punched the large flower from the Boho Blossoms punch and pierced

 a hole in the center in which we placed a glimmer brad that coordinated with the DSP. This was glued on top of the cones with a "generous amount" of the liquid glue to hold everything together.

For the hanger we did the "Faux bow" again using the 1/4" red gros grain ribbon.

The back is very pretty too and could be used to put the date on or  "to: from:" as a package topper/gift tag.

The two in this post are from the same DSP just different sides of the paper.

I think they are a pretty alternative to Bows and Baubles.

Stay tuned!

Christmas Ornaments Class 2

 These stars are the simplest things to make....once you figure out which side to cut them on. I found the tutorial here.
They use a 6x6 inch piece of DSP, we scored every inch and fan folded them. They are then folded to find the center, and stapled in the center. You cut each side from about 1"-1 1/2 " from the center out to the corner. Then glue the sides together to get the star. We used the Tombo Liquid Multi glue and the mini clothes pins to hold the paper together until they were dry.

 The DSP we used was Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Paper from the Holiday Mini. Once the glue was dry we used glue dots to add Holly Berry Designer Buttons and a little Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding to the center.

 For the hanger we used the crop-a-dile and punched a 3/8" hole in one of the arms of the star. We used 1/8" red taffeta ribbon to make a "faux bow" and another piece of ribbon to tie it together then threaded it through the hole and to be used for a hanger. (Clear as mud?)

This is the other side of the DSP from the picture above.

I think everyone chose this side to use as it is very pretty and impressive!


Stay tuned....more to come!      Sharri

Animal Stories Birthday Card

Our nephew was turning five, he's all boy. This is the card I made for him with the elephant from the Animal Stories set. I Stamped the image in Old Olive then stamped again and again creating less vivid images. Sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. DSP is Tall Tales topped with some Chocolate Chip CS then the image. I put it all on an Old Olive card base and tied it up with the Old Olive ribbon from the Holiday Mini catalogue in the Ribbon Originals collection. Three 1/2 inch circles were punched from Old Olive CS and a Chocolate Chip brad was put in the centre of each, these were then placed down the left side of the main image. I finished it off by stamping off the elephant and putting an image on the envelope and on the inside of the card as well.

Thanks for looking!

Have a great weekend!

Happy Halloween!

BOO!
This cute little treat box was so easy to create with my Big Shot and the Matchbox BigZ XL die. It's not my idea, but was cased from a website; not sure whose. I'll be more than happy to give credit to that person if you know who it is.
First I stamped the Boo onto a piece of vellum in Basic Black ink and set it aside to dry, this took longer than making the whole project. I made the matchbox using the tangerine Tango from last year's In-Colors collection, then I punched a 1 3/8" circle from the front of the cover. Next take a scrap of basic Black cardstock and punch a 1 3/8" circle from it, then use the scalloped circle punch to punch around the circle cut-out creating a scalloped frame in black. This you adhere to the front of the matchbox cover to fit around the hole you've already punched. When the ink is dry adhere the vellum to the backside of the matchbox cover so it can be seen in the hole on the front. Complete the assembly of the cover and fill with goodies.
I sent this one to my granddaughter Mia with nuggets in it.

Hope you don't get too spooked tonoght!

Sweet Centers

I cased this card from this blog; http://gulfcoaststamper.blogspot.com/2009/09/l-is-for-love.html; I thought it was a wonderful alternative use for this punch and the stamp set.

Then I made the two treat cards with the sweet centers cups for samples at my up coming Christmas Card Bonanza. There is a pull tab on each so you can get to the treats with out destroying the cards; or refill them if you want to.

Delightful Decorations

I love this set and the cards many have made with it. I played again the other night with my toys and these are what I came up with.

I used the Delightful Decorations set and the Baroque Motifs as well as the sentiment from Warm Words. The second card uses DSP from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper pack found in the Holiday Mini Catalogue; this paper is very pretty and is flocked in red. I punched the decoration out of this paper, centering the punch in one of the motifs. The first card has been embellished with dazzling diamonds on the ornaments,I like the sparkle it gives to them.

I was pleased again with the results.

Christmas Card Bonanza

Thanks to Blaise on Splitcoast Stampers I decided to try doing a workshop/class; 30 cards, envelopes and a tote for it all. This is created from 1/2 of the Christmas Jingle, Simply Scrapping kit some cards and ribbon. We'll see how it goes. If anyone is local and would like to be a part of this please email me for details.
