I must have jinxed us on the snow comment. I opened the curtains this morning and looked out and it's SNOWING! How's that to put me in the Christmas mood? So pretty looking out, but I'm sure glad I don't have to get out in it today! Brrrr! Faith so wants to go out and play, so we'll probably do that if it's not all melted when she gets up from her nap. I didn't bring too many warm clothes with me from SD. They're still all packed away in the boxes to move once the house is sold. I was hoping I wouldn't need them for a while here! HA! HA! Guess we all know I was wrong on that one!
Here's the second card that we will be making tomorrow for the Christmas card class. I love the message of it and the simplicity! After all, isn't that how Christ came...a little baby? Love it!
The color is the Concord Crush and I again used the Shimmery White paper to give it some sparkle. The wisemen image is embossed with white embossing powder, then sponged with the Concord Crush. So pretty in real life! The jewel adds just a little sparkle to the star.
Ingredients: Stamps: Come to Bethlehem, The Sounding Joy
Paper: Shimmery White, Concord Crush
Ink: Concord Crush, VersaMark
Accessories:White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Jewels, Stamp-a-ma-jig, sponge daubers, Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Top Note Die, Snail adhesive, dimensionals
I added just a strip of the Concord Crush to the inside that I embossed and stamped the verse from the Come to Bethlehem set. A simple and easy card to duplicate for that long Christmas card list.
Enjoy your day...playing in the snow and stamping. Who could ask for more?

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water...

Punchy Scarecrow

Image
Seems like I've been working on these forever! The poor mess I've had on Katie and Dickson's table! They're so patient with me! Lots and lots of punches and putting pieces together, then lots of help and interruptions, but so worth the effort! They are just so cute!! I also put together a punch page for the book I started with 6x6 pages so I can remember how I put them all together. The original scarecrow was done by another demonstrator, Doris Denman, and she's got some really fun punch art, but be warned, it's not for a quick card! Here's the Scarecrow:   Ingredients: Stamp Set (for the words) Always Thankful coming in the new mini catalog Sept 1st, Autumn Days for the inside Paper: Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, DSP Cajun Craze and Marina Mist, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla for the center of the card  Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Cajun Cra...

Faith had so much fun naming them as we went. Can you see which ones look like Grandpa? Grandma? (that's me!) or her Mommy or Daddy?? Michael? Gabe? Lily? Collin? Ingredients: Paper Pumpkin Pie Ink: Cajun Craze, Riding Hood Red Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Black Marker, White Pen, Sponge Daubers, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Glue Dots, Lollipops The Pumpkin Pie paper is cut 5 1/4" by 1 1/2", scored at 1 7/8" and 3 3/8" All the ovals were sponged with Cajun Craze, the face drawn on with markers and the white pen, the cheeks added with the Riding Hood Red and a Q-tip. The wrapper to the lollipop is stuck together with glue dots, and the ribbon attached for the leaves. Easy and fun! So if you're having one of those days and need to hang with a few friends, or ...
