Heart To Heart Bundle

      I finally made it back into my craft room, and it feels so good. I'm enjoying creating with these bright colors because it looks pretty grey when I look outside my window. I love the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is hard to tell from this picture and in the catalog, but most of the sheets have a shimmer to them. It's very beautiful!          

    I love texture for my cards so I embossed the background paper after I glued the Detailed Hearts down with the Subtle 3D. The little circles are embossed with the Country Floral 3D Folder. I just placed every circle on an individual flower. I love how they stand out!         

 
I hope you enjoyed today's project!    Have a great evening!     

I'm Back!

    Hello my stampin friends I'm back from my well deserved Christmas time with my loved ones. I hope you had a wonderful time as well. We had a lot of fun playing games and watching all sorts of Christmas movies. Unfortunately or fortunately, it depends how you look at it, we had no snow over the holidays. But gladly my best friend made me a Indoor Snowball Game and did we have fun with it,  it made up for the missing snow outside. 
Well, it's the beginning of a new year and Sale-A-Bration has started. Woohoo!!!   The new Spring Catalog went live Jan 3rd and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's gorgeous from the beginning to the end. Click HERE to see for yourself.    

 

 

 Now I'm off to to create beautiful projects! 
Thanks for stopping by!        

Gnome Sweet Gnome

   
Once in a while I love to do different crafts, and I'm always open to something new. My project today is not paper related but I did use a couple of dies to make it happen. I have a little obsession with Gnomes and have a little collection going already, but I always have room for one more!     

    This fella was so fun to make and he will get a very special place in my home.       

Christmas Gleaming Bundle Teepee Card

    I love Gnomes, and I was kind of heart broken when I didn't see any of these jolly old fellas in the Holiday catalog. But with a little creativity (which we have a lot) :-) we can sure come up with whatever we want! This cute little guy was created with the Gleaming Ornament Punch Pack.     

         I decided to make a Teepee Card so I can decorate each side different. But I ended up using the Evergreen from the In The Woods Die set. This gives it the illusion him being

 in the Forrest. 

    If you would like to make one of these cute little gnomes, make sure you will take advantage of the free shipping which is coming up December 11, 2019. This is a very good time to get some wishes off the list.    

    Let me know if I can help!     

Gnome Or Santa....

       These cute little fellas became pretty popular this time last year and you can still see gnomes of all shapes and sizes popping up everywhere. I have sewn and crafted a few already and I love having the cheery faces all over my house. But I hadn't done one in paper yet, so this is my very first try.        

      Well, I call it a gnome, but when I showed it to my daughter she saw Santa Clause. So it really all comes down who is looking at it.  No matter what, I think he looks darn cute!       

   This is a good size box which comes out at about 6" in height and would be a great gift card holder!

Thanks for stopping by!              

Let it Snow....

    I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. We sure enjoyed this relaxing break in our busy lives, and I was also able to get our house decorated for Christmas. I'm so proud that I was actually done before December hit the Calendar.  This year I plan to try to stay stress free and get all my cards and gifts done so I can also enjoy the Advent time with my family. 
I showed this little Snowman before, but this time I wanted to fill it with some goodies.  

 

I didn't want the snowman to end up in a trash can after it's contents were emptied. So I decided to tie the boxes together and hide the knot underneath the hat. This way you will be able to enjoy this cute little fella for a little while longer.

 

    Also the Year-End Closeout starts December 3rd. You can save big on a selection of retiring and surplus items including holiday catalog items, stamp sets, and Paper Pumpkin past kits. It is not to late to fill somebodies stocking with some crafty items!

Tastefull Texture Christmas Card

     Every year I make a lot of Christmas cards to send to our friends and family all over the world. Of course I want a variety and I want them to look good, but I can't spend hours on one card. So when I looked through the annual catalog for inspiration I ran by the Tasteful Backgrounds Dies and one of the dies looks just like a poinsettia flower.        

     To give the card a little bit more texture I used the Crackle Paint Background stamp. For the sentiment I used one of the banners from the Toile Christmas Bundle.       I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, and if you are traveling, stay safe!
