Igloo Treats

These are another version of the Curvy Keepsake Box and the Little Eskimo in the Cookie Cutter Christmas is so cute with her Igloo!!  And who knew a Halloween Grunge stamp set could look like bricks of SNOW!!  Love this cutie!!  I water colored each Eskimo and added some Wink of Stella on the hood and fur trim.  Soft Sky, Island Indigo. Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake.

 I used some of the 3/8 Glitter Ribbon Combo pack and Fancy Frost Sequins.

 The Bricks stamp was stamped in Soft Sky on the Naturals White card stock.  I used Tombow Adhesive to glue the 2 Curvy Keepsake pieces together.  Sequins were added with Tombow and Silver Ribbon looped thru the handles so this can be hung on the Tree.

When stamping these cuties.....go vertical, notice there are other elements on this punch and if you stamp side by side you will punch into your next image!  This will also save your card stock.  You will need to trim the excess off between each punch, but it is worth it!!

Pumpkin Treats

These were so EASY!!!  I used the Curvy Keepsake thinlit and cut 2 out of Tangelo Twist card stock. Then stamped the face from Jar of Haunts Stamp set.  Assembled, use your bone folder to curve the sides and the pumpkin will get a rounder shape.   Retired twine completes the pumpkin.

Warmth & Cheer Plaid and MORE.....

Here is another look at the Moose on some colorful Plaid and an Ornament die used on the Ornament paper.....one of my favorite patterns in this stack.

Again by trimming a 1/2 inch off this scrap you get a lovely background for your Focal Point on the card.   Plenty of room to stamp a sentiment and then embellish. 

I notice now that I forgot to use the Pine folder?  I may have to lift that ornament off and correct that!  In a rush trying to make a little of everything for this Craft Fair.  It is so hard to know what folks will buy if anything?

Warmth & Cheer Cards

So after cutting my gift cards, I was left with scraps....wonderful, perfect scraps for making the CUTEST CARDS EVER!!  These patterns screamed for the MOOSE stamp from Jolly Friends.  And a Moose with a Hat is even cuter!!

All I had to do is cut 1/2 inch off each of these scraps and adhere to a card base.  I used Whisper White and Crumb Cake. 

I stamped the Sentiment in Garden Green and then embossed with the Pine Bough Embossing folder.  Then sponged a little Garden Green on the pine.  The Moose was stamped in Early Expresso and then cut out with a Circle Framelit. 
The hats were stamped and then punched.  I love how you can punch lots of colors and options and then MIX and Match!

Warmth & Cheer Gift Card Holders

As many of my Friends and Customers know, I am a Natural kind of Gal, so this paper really appealed to me.  Reminded me of Old Fashion, Old time prints from my childhood.  I remember wrapping gifts in Grocery sacks and drawing and decorating with crayons as a kid.  We were poor, but it did not stifle my Creativity!!  Who knew then that I would be stamping and creating with Stampin' Up. 

Stampin' Up has a Facebook page for demos and that is where I saw this simple Gift Card pattern and knew I had to make some for the Craft Fair next Saturday. 

Here is Carolyn's post complete with Measurements!!  Thank YOU Carolyn for sharing with us fellow Demos!

And here are my holders in all the Patterns from Warmth & Cheer!  Love them all!!  I added a tag from Curvy Keepsakes Thinlits and some Mini Trees, Stars and Ornaments from Retired Punches.  I will be hanging these on a Christmas Tree for my Craft Fair Display.  Hope you can stop by........American Legion in Independence on 40 Hwy.  Details are in events on my website.

 I made 18, and did not use all the patterns in this paper stack!! 

 Some close ups.  The small Oval punch was used on the top.

Candy Cane Lane Reindeer

This card used a 4X4 piece of Candy Cane Lane Designer paper.  This paper is gorgeous and ON SALE!!  Yes this is one of the papers in the Buy 3, Get 1 FREE sale until the end of the month!!

 Super simple card.  DSP adhered to a Real Red card base.  Sentiment stamped in Early Expresso ink.  Reindeer also in Early Expresso on Crumb Cake and punched with the matching Punch.  I added a strip of the new Burlap Ribbon for some texture.  Popped the Reindeer up over the Burlap and added a Jingle Bell Nose.  TIP on the nose, I tied a snip of Linen Thread thru the hole in the Bell.  This allows the Glue Dot to have something to hold onto!!!  Plus it looks like whiskers.....every good Reindeer has a few Whiskers....don't ya think?

Candy Cane Sweater

This will be the first of my Sweater cards.  This one is a bit plain, but just getting started with this Embossing folder and the lovely Sweaters it can create.  A simple cable knit with Pearl accents and of course a Santa.  Perfect for the Ugly Christmas Sweater crowd!

I will try and MIST the DSP lightly with some water next time to prevent the cracking of the DSP.

 

Santa is a bit ugly!!  I added too much blush to his cheeks and used some old Smooch paint on his Beard and mustache.  This Santa begs to have that poofy stuff you emboss, so will be trying that on my next project!  But you get the idea........ and I took the Hat Builder punch for a test drive and all I can say is WOW, how cute and keep all the punch outs as you will find mixing and matching is a Breeze with this punch!!  More cards coming with this punch next week.
