On to my little project I have to share with you all today!! Since we don't get much snow here in Southern Arizona, I was trying to come up with something fun and yet useful, so I made a card and gift tag set. What I call tags in this project are actually snowflake ornaments that I found at my local Target for only $ 1.00 for 4 of them. To make them more interesting and an actual tag I simply cut circles with my Spellbinders Standard Scalloped Circles and Standard Circles dies and stamped "to: and from:" from the Poinsettia Tag Set on them in silver.

For my card I cut a 5.5"x5.5" base added a layer of Aqua Mist card stock and another layer in white which I embossed with the snow flurries embossing folder by Cuttlebug. I painted this embossed layer with some glitter acrylic paint which I picked up at Joann's embellished it with some gorgeous white lace and hand dyed seam binding in Bermuda Bay and a snowflake garland from Michael's. The tag in the middle of the card is cut from ODBD's new Tag Die and the tag stamp is the Holly Tag Set. To give the edges some dimension I simply rubbed my handy silver ink pad over the edges and viola, ready was my card to go with my little snowflake gift set.

Recipe:
Paper: PTI White, Aqua Mist

Stamps: ODBD Holly Tag Set (Tag), Poinsettia Tag Set (To: and From:) Christmas Verses (Merry Christmas)

Ink: VersaMark, silver embossing powder, silver chalk ink

Accessories: Standard Circles, Standard Scalloped Circles, ODBD Tag die, Cuttlebug embossing folder snow flurries, white cotton lace, hand dyed seam binding in Bermuda Bay, snowflake garland

Wishing you a Blessed Christmas

Paper: PapertreyInk  Vintage Cream

Hello, hello, hello....

my stamping friends!!!!  Can you believe it is Saturday already? Well, it is and that means it is time for a new Shining the Light Challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs.   This week we have a pretty cool challenge....are you ready?

Do you sometimes get in a slump and just create cards with your stamps...I know I do. This week we want you to create anything but a card. It need not be 3D...it can be a bookmark, tag, etc. I hope this helps you think outside of the box.




To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize , a $ 15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, November 18. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

Thinking of You

Recipe:

Paper: K&Company Wild Saffron (still LOVE this paper ;D)

Stamps:  ODBD Thinking of You

Ink: Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Vintage Photo, StampinUp Close to Cocoa

Accessories: Spellbinders Nesties Labels 5, Fancy Tags, Standard Circles Large, Prima Hydrangeas in yellow distressed with Vintage Photo Distressing Ink, Flourish was cut with my Cricut Expression and the Storybook cartridge, antique copper brad, Filling of the cup:  Almond Biscotti, tea, Lindt Truffles ;D(yum!!!)

So, what do you think? Are you inspired to join us in this fun challenge? Remember you do not have to make a 3D project, you can make a bookmark, tags (they all would make pretty nice little gifts for a teacher, a friend....you name it ;D;D)

The idea for this cup came from the new Scor-Pal Ezine, but I have to confess that I changed it just a little, I made the cup a tad bit taller because I knew I wanted to fill it with all of those goodies :D:D

morning my stamping friends!!! I hope you all had a fabulous week and tons of time to stamp. I did not have much time as both of my girls were sick :C. I guess that is how it is after 3 weeks of Fall break when everybody gets back together ;D. They are not 100%, but much better and no more fever.
