Peaceful Christmas Crackers

 

I love to use the Cracker & Treat Box dies to make treats holders for friends! I used the die with the Joyful specialty paper and the Joy Of Christmas DSP. I also used the gold trim or Real Red twine to tie the ends. I stamped the sentiment from a retired set called Wrapped In Christmas set in either Real Red ink or Shaded Spruce ink on a white die label cut from the Something Fancy dies. 

Hope you have a beautiful day!

A Musical Merry Christmas

 

Using a similar style to my card on Monday this week, I have this one in Red. I started with a Real Red base and a piece of Basic White card stock ran through with the Merry Melody embossing folder. I added a strip of the Joyful specialty paper on top then cut the Shaded Spruce detailed piece from the Christmas Classics dies along with the gold foil leaves from Joy Of Noel dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Rocking Horse set set in Real red ink on white card stock and cut it out with the Christmas Classics label die. I finished off with some gold dots.

Happy Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Classics

I did some casing for this card for my newbies class from Helen Read at allthingsstampy.blogspot.com

I added a strip Cherry Cobbler card stock across before placing the Distressed Gold die cut from the Christmas classics dies and the white label with the sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Rocking Horse stamp set. I cut leaves form the Christmas Classics and Joy Of Noel dies in Shaded Spruce and Mossy Meadow card stocks.

Shining Brightly Gift Bags

 

I decorated these kraft gift bags for the newbie class I had over a week ago. I wanted something that looked festive but could be used anytime. I have a panel of Shining Brightly DSP in vanilla and gold print. I then cut the gold foil star burst and another in Balmy Blue card stock to add in the corner. I finished off with some Balmy Blue 3/8" sparkle ribbon and some Very Vanilla and gold ribbon where I cut it in half up through the ribbon to make thinner lighter pieces.

Noel For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Home for the Holidays. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My home for the holidays card uses the lovely Joy Of Christmas suite. I have been wanting to cut out those letters to spell NOEL. I have a Very Vanilla base with a Cherry Cobbler piece of card stock with a layer of the Joyful specialty paper with gold musical notes. So pretty. I then stamped the letters from the Joy Of Noel set on vanilla card stock in Cherry Cobbler ink. I cut them out with the matching dies and added them on a vanilla  rectangle cut from the Stitched Rectangle dies.  I stamped the image from the same set in Memento Tuxedo Black on vanilla card stock and colored it with my Stampin Blends markers and cut out with the matching dies. I also cut Mossy Meadow greenery with the dies. I took a piece of Very Vanilla ribbon and cut it in half and then tied a bow. I finished off with some gold pearls from the Blooming Pearls.   

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be Winter Wonderland.

Tidings Of Joy

 

My first card with the Winter Meadow suite and my first for November Christmas card classes. I have a piece of Garden Green card stock cut 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" for the base. I added the white card stock to the front cut at 3 3/4" by 10" and scored at 5". On the front of the white card stock, I added the Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom and a strip of Moody Mauve card stock with Garden Green twine tied around. I stamped the berries and other greenery from the Magical Meadow set in Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon and Garden Green inks. I cut them out along with other stems in Moody Mauve and Garden Green card stocks with the matching dies. I cut the white label from the Something Fancy dies to stamp my sentiment from the Christmas Classics set in Garden Green ink. I finished off with a few white sequins.

I designed this for a class coming up in November where I am doing two Christmas tags and two Christmas cards. This tag has a Very Vanilla base and I used the tag topper punch for the top of it.
