Christmas Stocking

Stampin' Up just came out with a Christmas stocking die - can you say ADORABLE?!

You can actually "stuff" your stocking - imagine candy canes sticking out! What a fun gift!

I embossed the white stocking parts to give them more texture and a pattern. I attached a "NOEL" tag with coordinating punch that pops it right out! Added some snowflakes, a red button and a little glitter! So festive, it gets me in the Holiday spirit! This is a project we will be making at an upcoming class.

Here's the recipe:

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White & Old Olive

Stamp Set: Warmest Wishes Hostess Set

Ink: Old Olive

Punch: Decorative Label

Bigz L Die: Holiday Stocking

Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die: Northern Frost Snowflakes

Embossing Folder: Vintage Wallpaper

Accessories: Designer Buttons (Brights Collection), Hemp Twine, Gold Stampin' Glitter

Scrappin' did Happen

I'm working on my daughter's baby album. She's almost four and I decided I better get crackin' on it. Here's a page I made - which really isn't my style but I went for it. I usually like to pack on as many pictures as I can, but this one picture of me and Toryn was meant to stand alone . . . . 

Petal Cone Treat Pennant & Basket

The holidays are just around the corner and now is the time to start making a list of everyone you want to acknowledge this Christmas season. The Petal Cone die is a FABULOUS way to make a quick and thoughtful basket you can fill with any kind of treat and give to friends, neighbors, co-workers ANYONE without breaking the bank while still giving a handmade, heartfelt gift.

I made the pennant cone basket by simply running the die through the Big Shot and added a matching handle, and adorned with a snowflake stamp, scallop punches and flag cutout that comes with the Petal Cone Die. The basket was made with the same die except that I cut off the last 1" and scored at the bottom 2" and folded them in to create a flat bottom. I adorned with a white ribbon bow, a red "lolly" flower and a small stamped image with glitter framing. Viola! So easy, quick and fun to make! I can't wait to give these away!

This is the AMAZING Big Shot Machine!

Spooktacular Halloween Cards

Tomorrow night I'm holding a card class and we will be making 4 Halloween cards. Here's a little sneaky peek at one of the cards!

I made these super easy pumpkins for display. 

Here's the recipe:

The pumpkin is made by cutting 12 strips of cardstock 8.5" x 1". Punch a small hole on both ends. Gather all the strips and insert a brad at one end. Now spread out all the strips on your table to make them look like a spoke wheel. One at a time, grab a strip and lift it up and round it over and keep adding a strip at a time so that they join and form the pumpkin shape. Insert a brad once all strips are gathered.

I made the little curly strips by cutting skinny strips of cardstock and winding them tightly against a pencil. Add a button to the center with "Mini Glue Dot". What a cute way to make centerpieces for your dining room table or to decorate any room!
