Happy New Year!!!!

I wanted to pass along my wishes for all of you to have a very Happy and safe New Year!!!!
I will be back with new projects to start our New Year.

Christmas Project # 15

I have my last project before Christmas to show you now. CTMH has a product called Dimensional Elements Ornaments. They are a white chipboard in 6 different ornament designs. You can decorate them using a number of products. They take inks, and chalk very well. You can cover with papers too. I also used the Prism Glitter and embossing powder  to add to  some of them too . They are a lot of fun and with all the stamps, papers, ink colors, chalk colors and glitter you could make them in so many ways. Here are my set of 6. I am going to get these again and decorate in another 6 ways. They are fun to make and use as ornaments on the tree and/or add to a gift as an added gift to the recipient. I hope you enjoy them.

Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Just a Note

I have one more Christmas project to show you. I was going to post it tonight. But when I checked my pictures I wasn't satisfied with how I took them. So I will come back tomorrow and get the posted for you. They are the Dimensional Elements Ornaments. They were fun to make and I can't wait to show you. So check back tomorrow. I will get it posted then.

Christmas Project #14

Today I have two of the same card with just a few changes with papers and sentiment. This card again uses the Mistletoe paper line. The main stamp set used is the Adorn-ables stamp set. The sentiments came from two different ones. One was the December Word Puzzle and the other was a misc. set I own. Added to the stamped branch are punched fern sprigs from a Martha Stewart punch and punched circles that were run through a Xyron and then glitter was added. This card is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 .I still have a few more cards and projects to post so come back in the following days to see what else I have. Thanks for stopping by. I would love some comments too.

Christmas Project # 13

Christmas cards are one of my favorite things to make and send for the Christmas Season. Here is one of my favorites. I love the look of it and the message it carries. I used the Mistletoe papers. This is yet another beautiful paper from that line. I also used the stamp sets Everlasting Life for the "Peace On Earth" and Adorn-ables for the Ornament. The cranberry card stock at the top of the card was dry embossed and sanded. The ornament was decorated with mini pearls and an organdy white daisy bow. Using the organdy ribbon not only gives an elegant look but flattens nicely for mailing and still looks good when the card is opened by the recipient. The card size is again the standard
4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I hope you enjoy this one.

Christmas Project #12

Today I have another standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card that is very quick and easy to make but gives a look of elegance. The B&T paper is from Mistletoe Level 2 and the Creative basics Mistletoe pack. The Apron Lace border punch is used on one edge of the New England Ivy  B&T paper. Add the sentiment on the lower portion of the card with " Holiday Commentary". At the top some ribbon and a button was added along with a few sprigs of fern from a Martha Stewart punch. Add a little red gem at the tail of the word Christmas and the card is complete.
Thanks for looking. I'll be back again tomorrow with another card. See you then.

Christmas Project # 11

I have some more cards for you. I am trying to keep them flat for mailing purposes this year. Not as easy task to do when I love all the bling etc. But with glitter and embossing I hope you like how they turned out. Some of them were cased from other talented crafters and some are my own and some are a combination of the two.
I post a couple today and the next few days I will get them all posted for you.

Both of these cards used the Mistletoe Level 2 paper. I made the letter "O" by stamping from the All the Best stamp set. This is a really nice stamp set that comes in the Mistletoe Workshop Kit. I stamped the round ornament and added Prism Glitter to the swirl design. I added waxy flax for the hanger. A scalloped border punch and some sheer ribbon to finish it off. The sheer ribbon flattens easier for mailing and still looks good when opened. I used some misc. sticker alphabets letters to finish the words. The colors are Olive, Garden Green, Cranberry, and White Daisy. I added Red glitter to the cranberry dots on the B&T paper to accent them a bit more. Very simple cards but they don't really look simple. Enjoy!! Come back tomorrow for a couple more cards.

I then colored him  in with markers and the waterbrush. There are 4 little Elves in this stamp set. Besides this little one struggling with the strand of lights there is one holding a package, making a snowman and skating.
