12 Weeks of Christmas #8

Hello everyone!  It is Thursday, which means it is time for another 12 weeks of Christmas post.  The holidays are starting to feel a lot closer now.  We are officially into November, and I am doing my first holiday bazaar today.

Today, I am sharing a set of Christmas cards.  This is a set of five cards, that mostly feature products from the Merry Little Christmas suite, and are packaged in an Acetate Card Box.  I embossed the box with the Winter Wonder embossing folder, before wrapping it in ribbon.

Here is my project:

The fun acetate card boxes are the best way to give someone a set of cards.  Five cards, and envelopes fit inside the box.  Next, I show you a closer look at each of the cards inside.

That is all I have to share for today.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

12 Weeks of Christmas #9

Nine full weeks until Christmas.  That doesn't feel like many.  This week has been a little hectic at our house, so I just have a card to share.  

Here it is:

I just love the Watercolor Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  The greetings in this set look the way I want my natural chicken scratch, I mean handwriting to look.  This card starts with a Cherry Cobbler card base, that was embossed with the Holly embossing folder.  Then I have a layer of Garden Green that measures 2 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Next I used some Gold Foil paper to mat my Be Merry Designer Series Paper.  I wrapped some 1/8" Gold Ribbon around, and then attached my greeting with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The greeting was stamped in Versamark onto Garden Green paper, and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  I added some Metallic Enamel Shapes to the edge of my Everyday Label Punch, and voila, the card was complete.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

12 Weeks of Christmas - #10

Hello everyone!  I can't believe there are only 10 weeks left until Christmas.  I know I say that every week.  But, it really does surprise me each and every week.  Today, I am sharing a gift set of 3x3 cards that I made.  

Here is my project:

My cards all fit inside of this decrorated pizza box.  You can find these on page 44 of the holiday catalog.  You get 8 boxes in a pack, for only $6 US.  They are food safe, and would be great for many different kinds of treats.  For my project, I put five 3x3 cards, with matching envelopes inside.

Here are my cards:

My gift set features the Merry Mistletoe stamp set, and coordinating Be Merry Designer Series Paper.  (This is one of the packs that are on sale right now!)  I wanted to use all of the stamps in the set, but fell a little short and did not use one of the tree images.  All of the projects feature some gold embossing.  I love gold on christmas projects.  Well, who am I kidding, I love all things metallic on all projects.  Ha ha ha!  I covered the flaps of the 3x3 envelopes with the paper that matched each card.  By the way - did you know that we sell 3x3 envelopes again?!?!!!  So happy to see them back!  They are on page 44 of the holiday catalog.  You get 40 in a pack, for $9 US.

Have you started working on any Christmas projects yet?  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fall Treats

Hey everybody!  Today I am sharing a fun fall treat idea.  I have a card, and treat holder that is sure ot brighten up anyone's day.

My projects feature products from the Color Theory product suite in the Annual Catalog, and also a couple of items from the Holiday Catalog.

My card starts with an Old Olive card base.  I stamped the solid leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, in Old Olive.  This stamp set is on sale.  (Today is the last day!)  I have also stamped the detailed leaf from that set, in Cajun Craze.  Then I cut a piece of Old Olive Color Theory Designer Series Paper, with the crackled design, matted it with Cajun Craze, and attached it to the side of my card.  Next I cut out 3 detailed leaves from the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlit Dies in Cajun Craze.  I attached 1 whole leaf over the designer series paper.  The other two I positioned in such a way that I was able to cut them, and use them twice.  For my greeting, I punched out a Whisper White Everyday Label Punch.  I then stamped the label with my greeting, from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, in Cajun Craze.  I used the small solid leaf stamp and Old Olive ink to decorate the label a bit.  I swirled some Jute Twine behind my label, and attached the whole thing to my card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For my little treat, I filled a Treat Tube from the Holiday Catalog with candy corn.  I then used the Seasonal Layers Thinlit Dies to cut out one detailed leaf in Old Olive, and one small solid leaf in Cajun Craze.  I attached both leaves to the tube with a little bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive.  At the top, I used some more Jute Twine to make a bow.

I hope you liked my projects.
