Project Monday- Advent calendar

This Advent calendar is a case from one that was shared at the Portland Regional Seminar on Oct 23 2010. Unfortunately I did not write down the presenter's name.
BUT I loved her project so much that I stopped on my way home to purchase all the supplies to recreate it!



So I am sure you want all the details.....


I started out with a frame purchased from IKEA with an 11 x 15 inch opening. Metal flashing was cut by a friend. I purchased the Christmas Cheer Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up! ( # 117401 $19.95) and I purchased the tins from Oriental Trading company.

I used the Basic rhinestone Jewels from Stampin' Up! (# 119247 $4.95) and some 1/8 inch taffeta ribbon ( Early Espresso #119959) the Snowflake punch ( #119859 $16.95) and Snowflakes set 2 Sizzlets ( #113449 $19.95)

I really love how the Simply Scrappin kit is so easy to use. This project went together so fast!

I had some adhesive backed magnet sheets that I cut to fit on the back of the tins.

I attached each embellishment to the the tins using Mini glue dots.

Tell me what you think, and if you know who shared this project in Portland please to tell me!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Cardinal Christmas

I wish I could say this was all me... but really I don't think that there really ever is a card that is not inspired some way from someone, or something that we have seen. That being said I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw a similar card. I do love the Crumb cake and Cherry Cobbler together! and really how simple is this card?



The rhinestones on the top are just the right touch I think.
Okay so if you get this card for Christmas from me, just be nice and pretend that you have never seen it, okay??? Cuz you know I am going to make a bunch of this one!!

Merry Crittermas

Here are a few samples of my new favorite set Merry Crittermas out of the Stampin' Up! Holiday mini catalog.

This card uses the Curly Lable punch ( cut in half and placed behind the circle punch to look larger) the 1 3/4 inch cirlce punch and the dotted scallop ribbon punch.

Merry Crittermas tree card uses Marna Mist Ribbon, and cs, along with Bashful Blue cs and the new Snow flurry embossing folder.

I colored the image using my Stampin' Write Markers, and I used a blender pen to soften them. Sahara Sand is my favorite color for shadows... what do you think?

What is your favorite new Christmas stamp set?

Pop up Tree

Pop Up Christmas Tree table top decoration

I made this tree using the Pop up tree die from the Mini catalog, and Holiday Lounge Designer paper from the big catalog. I used the scalloped circle die with Sahara Sand card stock for the tree skirt, and So Saffron card stock for the star.

I punched holes in the edges of the tree with the 1/16th hole punch after the tree was put together. Then I ran silver cording through the holes to make a simple garland.

To make the tree stand up I punched out 2 of the base pieces and attached one to each side of the tree.

I have been having fun playing with this tree.... hope you enjoy

Christmas card

I am so loving My Digital Studio!
I whipped this card up in about 2 minutes! I started with a designer template card, and changed it up a bit! I added and removed a few things to my taste. My favorite thing to do is change the opacity of the colors. I love how it looks!

What do you think???

Delightful!

This is my favorite card that I have made in a long time. I have been in a bit of a rut, and this card just came to me! I used the card on pg 5 of the mini for the layout inspiration, hope you like it!

Christmas is coming....

I am starting to get ready for Christmas.. Oh man that is just a good feeling! I never get ready this early! But all the new sets in the Mini and the catalog have really inspired me!

I wanted to start my Christmas card sharing spree with this card I made last year. I loved it so much that I made extras to send out this year!
This card was made using Shellabrate, I love this set, mostly because I live on the Oregon coast! The image was colored using ink pads and blender pens. The base of the card is Creamy Caramel, and the DSP is from last years mini.. I really did love that paper (I horded some for this season!)
I stamped the little fish on the inside of this card, I love him! I was so happy to see that this little set made the cut for this year!

Be prepared I will be sharing alot of Christmas cards this next few weeks!

Thanks for looking, come back again soon!
