Christmas door hanging

Happy Sunday! We are back from Bali :) Oh, was it too short! We went with another family, they have kindly invited us into their vacation home.

Are you all busy preparing for the Holidays and spending time with loved ones? This is what I made to hang on our front door for the Holidays. Layered of papers, die cuts and corduroy buttons. Also please bear with me, it is also my first try tinkering with a photo with an editing software.

Enjoy your weekend.

Blessings,

Cupcake row

Happy Sunday! How about some guilt free calories of cupcakes in different shades of reds? Again, I am using the brads that Marlene gave me for my birthday (I am making good use of those, Marlene) :) This cupcake image is from Out of the Box stamp set (level 1 hostess set from the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 catalog.) It has that vintage feel to it, which I love.

One of the best things I find about stamping is the versatility of making your own patterned paper :) You can start by picking your color combo and then start building the patterns. I started with the piece of cardstock cut to size, started the pattern building from the lightest color. This way, I don't need to clean the stamp when I change color. Then, I added the little flowers to fill in those empty spaces.

Recipe (all by SU!)

Cardstock and paper: Real Red, Whisper White, Tea Party DSP

Stamp set: Out of the Box, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Ruby Red, Real Red, Sahara Sand, Basic Grey

Everything else: Eyelet Border, Word Window punches, hemp twine, Stampin' Dimensionals, 3/16" corner rounder

And then lastly, here is a bunch of invites I made for our friends' Holiday party.

That's all for this week, folks. We will be on vacation all of next week, so be back after the trip. Meanwhile, y'all have a good week ahead!

Blessings,

A Christmas Thank you

Hello! I made 2 sets of Christmas thank you cards as gifts yesterday. I utilized tags again as a focal point and I wanted to use the brads that Marlene Lo gave me for my birthday :) I love the 2 color look on the tag by stamping with Sahara Sand first, then overstamped the sentiment in Bravo Burgundy. The little brad in the middle finished it off and the Silver and Gold Elastic cords added the festive touch.

Here is another version of it with a different color combo.

And this is how I packaged the set, using rice paper that my friend Ariani gave me a stack of.

All supplies are from Stampin' Up!

Thank you for stopping by. Happy weekend. 2 more days before our vacation to Bali :)

Sweet Treats

Hello and Happy Friday! This is a project that makes me happy :) I have a bunch of these chocolate bars (yummy Starbucks coffee chocolate... mmm) that I dressed up with paper, ribbon and tag. So fun!

Here is a shot of an individual one. I stamped "sweet treats" with Bravo Burgundy and punched it with Stampin' Up! new Ornament punch. Stamped the snowflake, punched it out with 3/4" circle punch and mounted on Dimensionals. Looped through Stampin' Up! Silver Cord (available in the Holiday Mini). Voila... a quick cute tag is born.

Here is a group shot :)

Supplies (all by SU! unless noted):

Paper and cardstock: Sahara Sand, Bravo Burgundy, Parisian Summer (ret.)

Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Season of Friendship

Ink: Bravo Burgundy

Everything else: 5/8" Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon, burgundy ribbon (from my stash), 3/4" circle, Ornament punches, Stampin' Dimensionals, Silver and Gold cords

The shepherds and a star

Good morning! I created this card for our ladies' craft morning last Monday, which was SUPER fun! We laughed so much :) I used a half Top Note die as a focal point and punched the Star with a 3/4" circle punch. The stamp is my favorite Christmas sets: Season of Simple Grace.

All the supplies are Stampin' Up! except the patterned paper which is MME.

This is my Hannah who can just fall asleep anywhere :) I just had to take a picture...

Thank you for stopping by.

Huey's Christmas card event

Beautiful, isn't it? Thought, I wanted to pass the word around. (This is my second post for the day... please scroll down for my earlier one.)

My friend Huey Tsao, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator and crafting buddy designed these beauties. She is going to show you how to make these tomorrow night in her craft studio. So if you live in Northern VA (USA) and are interested, send her a message on Facebook.

Have a good day, folks...

Blessings,
