Here are my week before Christmas crafting projects:
I have seen many Glitter Ornaments online the past few years, but this is the first year I've had time to make them! The ornament are so messy to colour with reinkers but the mess is so worth it! I made 24 for my tree and then another 6 after my mom saw them! Supplies: 25 drops or so of Stampin' Up! Classic Reinker in a colour of your choice, clear ornament, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

The tree pattern is my own, I just drew what I thought would look good and cut 2 pieces of the green material. After sewing (don't forget to sew in the grosgrain ribbon so that it can hang on the tree!) and adding the stuffing I hot glued 2 Designer Buttons to the tree. Then using the Fabric Adhesive, my iron, a piece of parchment paper and a strip of Victoria Crochet Trim finished the bottom.

Lastly are some tags. The new First Edition Designer Paper is pleated after being scrunched and it adds so much dimension to the tag.
Supplies for the 2 Tags
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Many Merry Messages, Winter Post
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, First Edition Designer Series Paper (from Occasions
Mini Catalogue)
Accessories: Sticky Strip, Big Shot, Two Tags Die

Can you see the music notes on the card base? I love this Stampin' Around wheel. Unfortunate though I did not have a handle and it is really hard to get those wheels to roll straight without a handle! The back of this card is even worse because it was suppose to be the front until whoops, the wheel dipped over the the left!

I just had a thought, this colour combo would make a nice snowflake card!

Did anyone else make BIG plans for their Christmas crafting but just ran out of time? It happens to me every year! I did sneak in more than usual. I will try to come back and post those items in the New Year!

Supplies
Stamps: Just Believe, Music Notes Wheel
Ink: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla Craft Ink
Paper: Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Crumb Cake designer button, glue dot, Vanilla Seam binding, stampin' dimensionals, pearls

Happy New Year

O Christmas Tree how beautiful your branches! This tree is embossed with Iridescent Ice to create a little sparkle! I used Versamark and Classic Inks (see my tutorial here for how to do this). And I love those Rhinestones, they have an adhesive on the back so they pop onto a card really easily!

Supplies
Stamps: Snow Swirled
Ink: Crumb Cake, Versamark, Stampin' Write marker: Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Very Vanilla 5/8" satin ribbon, sticky strip, Iridescent Ice embossing powder, stampin' dimensionals, rhinestones

Merry Christmas!

Joy to the World! I was inspired by Jackie Wright and her beautiful card. At first I was going to completely case her card, but my mom needed ideas for Christmas cards and at the time neither my mother nor I owned the French Foliage stamp set. This card is versatile though, I think I ended up tearing off the sentiment and adding a birthday one instead and sent it to my brother-in-law. Shh don't tell anyone, okay?

Supplies
Stamps: Autumn Splendor, Jolly Jingles Jumbo wheel
Ink: Old Olive, Versamark, Stampin Write Marker: Old Olive
Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Brights Collection Designer Paper
Accessories: Gold embossing powder, scallop trim punch, decorative label punch, stampin' dimensionals, Vanilla seam binding

Merry Christmas

It's starting to look a little like Christmas out there, minus the snow! But the snow can stay away until Christmas Eve! I am looking forward to putting up our Christmas tree this weekend and dragging out the decorations.

To create me Deck the Halls! card: Use the pine tree from Lovely As A Tree to create the branches and punch out your ornament to "hang" it from the branches! I used 2 stampin' dimensionals to pop up the ornament.

ETA: I just had to say something about snow didn't I?! Of course all that rain we've had turned to snow this afternoon!

Supplies
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Delightful Decorations, Woodgrain background
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Crumb Cake
Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Accessories: Ornament punch, stampin' dimensionals, silver cord (retired)

Merry Christmas

Can you see the sparkle? This technique uses the Smooch Spritz with Versamark and it looks so cool! The sparkle would look really neat with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz as well.

How to: Ink up your stamp with Versamark, then before stamping spray with Vanilla Mist Smooch Spritz and stamp. Cover your stamped image with clear embossing powder and watch the sparkle emerge!

Supplies
Stamps: Medallion, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Versamark, Baja Breeze
Paper: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Vanilla Mist Smooch Spritz, Victoria lace, clear embossing powder, Big Shot, Top Note Die
