Jolliest Time of the Year

Yes, I'm thinking about cold and snow already. Yesterday and today it was near 100 degrees here in Indiana. I think a little cool weather would be welcome right about now.

This stamp set, Jolliest Time of the Year, is an oldie, but a goodie. If you like it, you can still order it directly from my online shopping site, or by contacting me directly to place an order for you. 

I stamped the snowman in Black Stazon ink and colored him in with Stam 
pin' Write Markers. I used Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, Basic Gray, Pretty in Pink and Only Orange.

I cut the snowman out in a circle using my Stampin' Up circle cutter. I positioned the circle, hanging off the edge of the bashful blue cardstock and trimmed the edges even with my Stampin' Up Tabletop Cutter (which I LOVE!!!).

The little strip of Melon Mambo cardstock was run through the Big Shot machine with the Flurries embossing folder and the edge was punched with the Scallop Trim Border.

To make the shimmery background on the Bashful Blue cardstock, I used the Frost White shimmer paint. I poured a little on a plastic lid, added a little water and then used a scrunched up piece of plastic wrap as a dauber.

The card itself is Basic Gray.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Other: Rhinestones, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder

 

I hope you enjoyed this challenge card. If you need help choosing your Christmas cards and ordering the supplies, leave me a commment and I will get back with you.

Peace on Earth Christmas Cards #3

This card uses both Holiday Mini hostess sets, Peace on Earth and Northern Hearts.

The colors are Marina Mist and Whisper White. I embossed the main "Season's Greetings" image with white embossing powder and a Versamark pad.

Peace on Earth Christmas Cards #2

I absolutely love this stamp set and this designer series paper.

The stamp set is Peace on Earth, a level two hostess set. If you want it, you need to earn it soon, as it will retire at the end of December.

The paper is also from the holiday mini catalog and it will be going away at the end of the month. It is called Deck the Halls. You can order it directly from my Stampin' Up website.

The middle element is from the new ribbon border punch. I love the look that punch creates. You can order it from my website, as well.

The colors used on the card are Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake (ink on the world) and Very Vanilla.

Peace on Earth Christmas Cards

  Here is a card I made using the beautiful level 2 hostess set, Peace on Earth.

The card is made with Elegant Eggplant and Whisper White.

I used the embossing folder, Northern Flurries. I did it in one direction, removed it and turned it around. The one end is slightly less embossed than the other, just because it went through the machine two times, but it still looks very pretty.

Even more tags

I've been working all month of November on items to sell at Angie Meyer's Design Studio here in Kokomo. Here are some more of my Stampin' Up tags that I made as part of my Christmas area.

I absolutely adore these tags.They are so simple to make and only take 5 items.

I used the 2 1/2" circle punch, the snowflake punch, rhinestones, silver tinsel and the Crop a Dile for the top hole. All of these items are available in my online store, click here to go directly to it.

The backs are plain and the silver tinsel has wire in it so you can twist it around the handle of a gift bag.

So cute and so easy to make. Hope you like it :)

I've been working all month of November on items to sell at Angie Meyer's Design Studio here in Kokomo. Here are some more of my Stampin' Up tags that I made as part of my Christmas area.

These tags were made using the Two Tags Bigz Die for the Sizzix machine and the Holly Jolly rub ons.

On the back are photo splits, so they can easily be applied to a package.

If you need help ordering supplies to make your tags, drop me an email and I'll be glad to help you figure out your order.

These tags are from the new set, "Tags 'til Christmas"

I used Basic Black, Real Red and Whisper White on these. The silver cord is retired from Stampin' Up, but I am sure you could find something similar at a local craft store.

Look for more tags later today :)
