Want to make your own Christmas/Holiday cards?

I would love to show you and your family and friends how to make this card! It uses the same embossing folder for the backgrounds, but you get two different looks using two different techniques! Host a workshop with me so I can show you how!
Happy Stamping & Knitting!

Goody Goody Gum Drops!

Today was another CASE! Andrea Walford, a very talented demo, created her version of these treats but made a Christmas tree with circles that she punched. I don't have much time left to get everything done for Christmas so I took the Sizzix die cut route! I used my Gingerbread die cut!!!! I cut two dies per treat. On one, I applied some designer series paper to the back so it would show through the hearts, and then used white liquid applique for the icing. I didn't wait for it to dry, but just heat set and it puffed right up! These will be for my nieces and nephews on Christmas Eve.....

CASED Christmas Tags!

Another demo, Mercedes Weber, submitted these to SU for a contest and won. I CASED her idea and we made these at our stamp club meeting last night. Well.....not all of the club members made it! We had a wave of bad weather that came right at 7:00 when they were to arrive that made the roads slick with sleet. A few of the die hards made it though! I loved the snowman the best just cause he was the easiest. But I did change up her instructions.......Instead of punching out those little circles for the mouth and eyes in black, I put my nose on first, and then punch holes for the eyes and mouth, and punched a smaller circle in black and glued it to the back of the white.......MUCH EASIER girls!

Santa's helpers need warm feet too!

How cute are these! I just added this pair to my Etsy shop. These are soooo fun to make. What little child (or adult) wouldn't want a pair of these to keep their feet warm! Made of a superwash wool, they can be machine washed. Can be made with a red slipper and green fringe too!

Hip to be Square with Ornaments

I am participating in a holiday bizarre next Saturday and have been knitting and stamping up a storm and haven't had time to post! Plus we had Thanksgiving thrown in there too!
So here is a card using SU Chocolate Chip cardstock as the base. The ornament paper is something I picked up in a large pad at Michael's. I fell in love with the soft earthy colors of this particular sheet! I distressed around the paper with basic brown ink and used it on the ribbon as well. The background is also a piece of Shimmery White cardstock run through a Cuttlebug ornament embossing folder. The "Joy" is from Join in the Cheer Decorative strip Die run through the Big Shot. The holly is from an older Marvy punch.

Countdown to Christmas!

How stinkin' cute huh! I love the way this turned out. I bought the frame at Kohl's. I cleaned the glass real well and leaving it in the frame so I could really line it up, applied the small Decor Element. I then cut my cardstock and applied the vinyl numbers each square. I ran them through my Xyron to laminate them. (this way they will last longer!) I know I have small white clothes pins in my studio somewhere and have to find them.......so for now I just added a small piece of double stick tape. I cut down a sheet of Ski Slope Designer paper and put it behind the mat. I added our awesome Felt Flurries by layering them and added some Ice Rhinestone Brads attached them to the frame with Pop-Up glue dots. I used our beautiful ribbon to the back of the frame to hang it up with. I might add some Baja Breeze stamped snowflakes around the mat but haven't decided yet. I used Sticky Strip and applied it to the sides and bottom of a 6x6 page protector after cutting off the holes on the side. This will give me a pocket to put all the numbers in! Now order this stuff and make your own! (by clicking on the bold highlighted words, you can see what you need to have or order!)
Here is photo of the frame I picked up at Kohl's for $14.99

Rudolph is poised and ready for Christmas Eve!

This is another card that was demo'd at the VA Beach regionals. I love the simplicity of this card. Mine doesn't have the stamped image that was shown, or ribbon, (since I didn't have it) and I needed these for a swap on Saturday. I added a red nose by mixing Real Red re-inker with some Crystal Effects.
The deer is from Winter Post and the sentiment is from All Holidays.

Paper Pins

Jenn Balcer did a great tutorial on SCS making paper pins. I have the UTEE pot so I knew I had to try these. It is a rainy, dreary, dark day so the pics aren't that great!
The cardinal is made by stamping onto DSP, the poinsettia is actually retired SU DSP that I just cut out and layers, and the flower is a layers of stickers!

Merry Christmas Frame

I loved some of the demonstrations at the VA Beach Regional seminar and wanted to try some before I forgot what they were. This technique is done using just the very edge of the brayer. Just run it across your stamp pad, and then across your paper. Create stripes, plaids, etc. I used Real Red and Glorious Green here. I stamped the "Merry Christmas" from the Winter Post set, and used the Wide Oval Punch to cut it out. It is then surrounded with a wreath made with the Martha Stewart Branch punch. I added the striped red grosgrain ribbon to hang it with and put a little bow on the bottom with a glue dot. Simple.......

3 D Ornament

Yep! It's the Big Shot again! I love this thing! I used the Big Shot with the Circle 3-D Ornament and uses the Designer Series paper called Frosty Day. I used a large brad from Hodgepode hardware, and the brown felt ribbon from the Alpine group. It is my first attempt so I will get better at them as I do more!
What fun!!!!
