Elegant Christmas

I was wanting to make an elegant Christmas card, so I used some Brushed Gold card stock and the Hand-Penned Holidays stamp set.  Very easy card for mass production!

Have A Hoppy Christmas!

Wanted to do something a little different and came up with this!  Needed something whimsical and thought the frog would be cute on a lilly pad sled with a Santa Hat.  The sled is made by stamping the lilly pad with Versamark and clear embossing.  The sled rails were made with the Sizzix die and attached to the back.  The scarf is my own creation, stamped a frog and drew a scarf and cut it out and used it as a template.

Christmas Wreath

I have been seeing all the wonderful uses for the Martha Stewart Branch Punch and just had to give it a try!  First I punched a circle then a small circle in the center for the base of the wreath.  Punched several branches and used Tombo Multi Mono Glue to adhere them.  Added some rhinestones and a ribbon for the finishing touches.  It is a little time consuming but the end results are well worth it.

This was a quick and easy one layer card with some linen thread and a button.  The middle leaf is Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.  I was not sure at first how I was going to like those two colors together but I thought it looked great once it was done.

Vintage Santa

I found this stamp at our local Stamping Store from LaBlanche (a company out of Germany).  Very beautifully detailed, love it!  Stamped in Black Stazon, only gave him a little color on the hat, face, cheeks, lip and some white gel pen on his eyebrows and some strands of hair.  Did some sponging with Cherry Cobbler & Early Espresso.  The paper doily is from the baking isle at local hobby store.  Used the pine punch, layered garden green and always artichoke some Dazzling Details and some Flower Soft for the snow.  SU button and linen thread.

Give Thanks Wreath

I made this wreath for a friend of mine that was having a birthday this month.  I used a 12 inch Styrofoam base, covered it in 2 inch cream colored satin ribbon.  Made all the rosettes and then hot glued everything together, stamped and cut out leaves from Gently Falling and adhered to the wreath with hot glue.  I love the colors in the Spice Cake DSP!
