Everlasting Luminary Gift Set!

It's time for me to share another project with you. This lovely gift set was created by Julie Beltramo and you can get the details HERE at Craft Project Central.

Everlasting Luminary Gift Set!

This sweet and sparkly little gift set is sure to please! Learn how to quickly, and elegantly, turn a battery-operated tea light into an everlasting décor piece. Then you’ll learn how to make the coordinating gift box that is the perfect custom size to fit the three tea lights. And the simple, but sweet card will make this the perfect hostess gift for those holiday drop-ins!

Remember I will be giving away one free subscription to Craft Project Central for the month of December.  I will give full details when I post my project mid-December. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Winter Holiday Punch Art Tag Set!

Today I'm posting the second project from Craft Project Central.  These cute holiday punch art tags were created by Yapha Mason and you can find the tutorial for them at Craft Project Central.  Just a reminder that I am giving away one FREE monthly subscription for the month of December to Craft Project Central.  That's 10 tutorials for free!  I will give you all the details mid December.  :)

Winter Holiday Punch Art Tag Set!

Punch art is a fun way to create images that you may not have stamps for, as well a great way to get extra mileage out of your punches. In this project we will create punch art images for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s Eve. Each of these images is part of a cute tag, and all of the tags fit nicely in a decorative box. Includes a matching card for gift giving. These fun punch art designs are great for a club or a class, or just a fun winter afternoon of crafting.

Thinking of You at Christmas

So how are your Christmas cards coming?  I hope better than mine are since I really have no idea if I have enough or not! lol  I'm just trying to figure out when I'm going to get the time to sit down and get them all ready to mail out!  I guess I'll manage since I always do.  I'm just glad I'm a part of the design team at 'Tis the Season since I know I have a good chunk ready to go...whew!  Speaking of 'Tis the Season we are having our last challenge of the year and it's inspiration challenge #56!  I love how this card turned out, but I sure can tell you I won't being doing this one three more times!  What was I thinking?!?!

I love this picture and I was inspired by the gold, red and green as you can tell by my card.  Make sure you head over to 'Tis the Season HERE to see how the other designers were inspired by this photo.  If you get a chance we'd love to have you play along too.

Even though my card is a CAS card it wasn't simple to make.  Actually it wasn't difficult, it was just time consuming!!  I used Stampin' Ups! Delicate Ornaments Thinlits Dies and cut one out of Whisper White, another out of Cherry Cobbler and the last one out of Garden Green.  I then used VersaMark and stamped it all over the Whisper White ornament, covered it with gold embossing powder and of course used the heat gun on it.  Then I cut out a solid ornament in Whisper White with that same shape, covered the whole piece with Stampin' Glue Stick and put the gold ornament over the top of the white solid ornament.  The next part is what took SO long!  I popped out the pieces of the red and green ornament and put them into the gold ornament and they would stick because of the glue stick on the solid white ornament piece underneath.  I started from the middle and worked my way out deciding as I went along what color I would put in next.  I did NOT punch all the little pieces out of the red and green ornaments right away, but instead took the ones I needed for the color I was working on.  That means I only popped out between two and four at a time.  Have fun figuring out that puzzle if you pop them all out at once! lol  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

2016 Calendar/ Keepsake Book Gift Set!

Today I'm posting something a little different than the norm.  I was asked to be a guest designer for Craft Project Central for December and I said, "Yes!".  That means throughout the month of December I'll be posting a lot of creative projects!  Did I make them all?  No way!  I'm not that talented! lol  However the team at Craft Project Central did and I will be posting each of their projects as well as mine throughout the month.  My project will be featured mid-month so you'll have to make sure you come back for that. :)  I'm also allowed to give away one FREE monthly subscription for the month of December.  You will get 10 tutorials for free!  What you will need to do is leave a comment on Craft Project Central when I post my tutorial.  I'd love to have you comment on my blog too, but to get a chance for the free 10 tutorials you'll need to comment on CPC once my project goes live.  Easy enough right?!

Wonderland

Just a quick post for you today to show you the birthday card I made for my son.  He's 22 today!  I think the older I get the faster time goes!  Anyone else feel that way?  

Since I already had the stamp set Wonderland out on my craft table I decided I'd use it again.  I looked through a few sketches and decided to play along with one that I haven't done in quite a while...Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I have to admit I didn't follow the sketch exactly, but kind of did the gist of it. :)

Yup it's a pretty dark card, but I just love the way the blues look against the dark background so I'm sticking with it. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Beautiful Butterfly

I have a second card to share with you today!  Two in one day is amazing since I'm lucky to do two a week! lol  Anyway it was my niece's birthday yesterday on Thanksgiving so I definitely had to have a card for her.  I also made her a chocolate cake along with the pumpkin, French apple and pecan pies that I made...yummy!  Making the cake was extra work, but definitely worth it to see the smile on her face. :)  Since I made her card yesterday morning just before heading to lunch I had to have a little help.  I checked out the sketch challenges I follow and decided to use Freshly Made Sketches challenge #214 and Color Me... #99.  I think the two challenges helped make a beautiful card.  I loved it even more because lately most of my cards have been  fall, winter or Christmas so to get a bit of spring and summer back was nice. :)

I love Freshly Made Sketches CAS sketch this week!  This card was so easy to whip up using it. 

Love, love, love these colors together!  If I have time I just might  need to do a little brayering with them.  I do have to make a bunch of thank yous for orders so maybe... :)

Thanks for looking and have  a great day!

Birthday Wonderland

Earlier this week I posted a Christmas card that I had made.  Well I started with this scene first, but it was just too big for the sketch I had to use.  Plus I wasn't too sure about some of the lines on it because I had to go back and get some areas wet again.  I cut the right side of the watercolor paper off since I didn't like what I had there.  I ended up with this card and I'm pretty happy with it and hope my brother-in-law is too since it's for his birthday. :)

The trees bled a little more than I had hoped, but it wasn't bad enough that I wasn't willing to use it.  I keep telling myself not to be too picky and to remember that when I watercolor it does bleed and blend a little and to just go with it!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
