Christmas Thank You Note Set

Another sneek peek at some of the awesome Big Shot dies coming in the Occasions Mini Catalog that starts January 4!
I used the Lables Collection Framelits Dies, Adorning Accents Edgelits dies and the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing folders.

Also used the Snow Burst Textured embossing folder, Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper and the stamp set Perfectly Penned. The fabric for this card holder is the Holly Berry Bouquet designer fabric from the Holiday Mini Catalog that ends January 3.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we have a tea party using my collection of "A Cup of Christmas Tea" set.
I have quite a bit of baking to get ready for that this evening!


Here is another spot where I used Mica Flakes for "snow". I love making these little scenes under glass, they are soooooo cute.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Pines & Poinsettias Petite Pocket Box

For this Petite Pocket die box I used Crumb Cake card stock and stamped it with the pinecone image stamp from the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set. For the "ribbon" on this box I used a strip of fabric from the Holly Berry Bouquet designer fabric.

Add some more embellishments and the super cute poke-a-dot paper from the Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper and your done!

Petite Pocket Die Box

The Petite Pocket Die is cute on it's own but if you cut out 4 you can make a box that is super cute! To make that box, cut 4 of the Petite Pocket die, trim the bottom below the fold to 2", cut the side tabs off 2 of the pieces, use sticky strip on the tabs on the other 2 pieces and adhere all the pieces together to form a box, fold in the bottom 2" pieces to form the bottom of the box.
Then have fun embellishing! I used paper from the Holly Berry Bouquet designer series paper.


To close the top I punched a hole in two of the flaps to string ribbon through.

I cannot figure out why sometimes my photos load sideways!!

See how glimmery the box is? After I was done I misted the whole project with Frost Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol.

Come To Bethleham

Well I finally sent out my Christmas cards this week. I mostly used ones that I had already made so they are all different, however, I did make a few with the stamp set Come to Bethlehem. I am really liking how these turned out. In the background I used the Music Notes wheel with Crumb Cake ink. The patterened paper is from the Mocha Mornings Specialty designer series paper. It has a nice metalic shine to it. The 'Merry Christmas' is from the stamp set Hand-Penned Holidays.

This card shows a little peek of what is to come in the Occasions Mini Catalog..........the new Framelit Dies!!! You're gonna love 'em! There are 6 die sizes in each collection for layering.

I only made one of the above card as it was a bit time consuming. I saw this card idea and just had to copy it. I stamped the image on Very Vannila card stock with Soft Suede ink and then inked the whole paper with Versa Mark and clear embossed, repeating twice, then sprinkled Champagne Glass Stampin' Glitter right away. Then add another layer of Versa Mark and Clear Emboss powder to seal that in. After dry, bend the paper to add cracks and sponge Soft Suede ink into the cracks for an aged look.

Mica Flakes for Snow

I found these great old canning jars and have seen some in blogland with little scenes in them like snow globes, so I just had to make a couple. I was going to add salt for the "snow" but then had the great idea to use up some of my Mica Flakes!

Aren't these cute? Makes you want some Mica Flakes doesn't it?
The Mica Flakes (#124115) are also nice on cards and other papercrafts or just anywhere that needs some "snow".
