Christmas Goodies!

December 15, 2011 in ,

Every year my family's business (Grandma does most of the baking!) makes up trays of squares and cookies to give out at Christmas to some very special people. This year I made up little tags to add to the trays to make sure they knew who provided some yummy Christmas goodies!

Supplies

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso

Repurposed Ornaments

December 12, 2011 in
My husband and I put up our tree last Thursday. Followed our now 3 year tradition to trek to the good olde Canadian Tire across the road from work and picked out a beautiful Fraser Fir for our living room!
While we were trimming the tree I came across these snowflakes that I bought about 10 years ago. They did have a rosette and some glittery ribbon on them but I have to agree with my husband they were hideous! So I pried off the hot glued hideousness and glammed them up with some ribbon, Jingle Bells and a little ivy! All with the help of some Glue Dots.
Supplies
Stamps: none
Ink: none
Paper: Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon, Glue Dots, Mini Jingle Bells, Retired Silver Cord, Snowflake ornament

Sending Wishes

Here's a tip to make things a little smoother: I have a stack of Very Vanilla and Whisper White Top Notes pre cut and ready for any card! Mostly I used these for the inside of my cards but they're great on the card front too! I keep these stacks in one clear mount stamp case. You can fit 2 big stacks of pre cut top notes to last a long time, or one stamp camp, which ever comes first!

So this card started with just a top note and the Christmas Lodge stamp set. The trees are stamped along the bottom, a few of them are stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first to get the lighter trees to give the card some dimension. To finish the top note, the greeting is embossed in black.

Supplies
Stamps: Christmas Lodge
Ink: Versamark, Certainly Celery
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Certainly Celery
Accessories: Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, Black Embossing Powder, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Top Note Die
