Noel Card Ok, here is one of the XMas Cards that I did this year.  Very simple and easy to duplicate. LOVE my "Lovely as a Tree" Stampin' Up! set.  Don't know why it took me so long to get it. Anyway here's the recipe.

Stamp Set: Lovely as a Tree #115026 and Many Merry Messages
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Black Staz-on, Choc. Chip, Garden Green
Accessories:  Real red grograin ribon, Blender Pen, Stampin' Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamond Glitter (gotta have it)

I stamped my Tree Image with Black Staz-on then with my Blender pen took the Garden Green & Chocolate Chip Ink and colored the tree.  Added the Dazzling Diamond Glitter last!

They were super simple and quick to make. They all loved them! Sorry this photo has a glare.

 

DSC01587 I've been wanting to make this really cute Cup pattern that I've had for who
knows how long,   can't remember where I got the pattern, I think it was off the Stampin' Up Demo Website, but anyway super easy to make but I KNOW it's missing Glitter..thought about it after the photo! ; )

Now this cute little box was fun to make to and I know it was off the SU Website for Demos.  Again one of those that I had laying around and finally got around to making some. LOVE how cute and most of all easy to put together.

Now this I found on "Runing with Scissors" Blog, OH MY Goodness, talk about easy, fast and how cute is this????  She does wonderful work and her measurements are GREAT! These would also make super cute B-Day Gift boxes too! Add a handle and you have a purse!

Ok, so I'd better get for now…still need to finish baking, crocheting and stamping…Thanks for stopping by!

Last Minute Goodies!

Author: December 22, 2007 0 Comments

I can’t believe this year is almost over!  Now if we can all just stay well in this house. LOL! But I did manage to get some stamping done. I’m still not done.  Doing alot of last minute cards, goodies…etc.

Ok, my son Marcus had his Pre-school XMas party yesterday so I made him some goodie bags to take for his classmates.  He was sooo excited.  I also made some goodies for my daughter to take to school which I will share later, need to download those photos.  Enjoy!

Merry & Bright Goodies  I used the Merry & Bright Stamp set! I am so obsessed with this stamp set.  That snowman is just the cutest ever.  I used both circle punches and the scallop punch.
