Candy Cane Class treats

I whipped these up the night before my baby's Christmas party at daycare so it didn't take terribly long. I did hand cut all of the tags so that Cameo Silhouette is looking better and better to me :) I don't know much about it but I may do some research and get one eventually. I found this cute poem online somewhere and created the tag in MDS (again, I love this program!). I just used a regular hole puncher and some ribbon I had to attach the tags. I thought this turned out adorable :)

Washi Tape Christmas Card

I believe I originally saw this idea from Dawn over at Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.. so easy and cute to boot!

I simply layered Whisper White cardstock and cut the Season of Joy Washi Tape at different lengths and angles ... added a stamped greeting punched with the oval punch, and tied a cute bow. I made these for some awesome neighbors and I hope they liked it!

The perfect Apple Tree for your teacher!

Sorry for my break from posting.. December has been quite the challenge with family medical issues and things have been a little difficult. Hopefully I am able to get back to crafting and posting regularly.. even with my fingers bandaged up from 2nd degree burns :)

I created this design in MDS (I just want to throw out there how much I LOVE this program!) and I took it to my daughter's school to have her class put their thumbprints in the apples using a Cherry Cobbler SU ink spot. Everyone really seemed to love this gift and it is so personalized that your special teacher probably won't get another one like it :) This was a Christmas gift but could also work as a teachers gift at the end of the year.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit!

This card was easy to make and I think way more adorable in person! I love that Stampin' Up makes it so easy to make a beautiful card because of their coordinating products. I always hear people say they don't have the creativity or they have no idea how they would put colors together...Stampin' Up takes care of that for us. I used the Season of Style Designer Series Paper which comes in 4 designs. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my card!

Santa-tizers

This adorable Santa-tizer holder was a lot of fun to make! These will make great gifts for teachers, neighbors, co-workers, hostess gifts, etc. I used the Silver Glimmer paper for the buckle because I never get tired of sparkle :) The holder will come with one PocketBac Sanitizing Hand Gel from Bath & Body Works. I created the banner in My Digital Studio and put 2013 on the back of the banner.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Christmas Cards of all colors :)

Who says that Christmas cards have to include only the traditional Christmas colors? It is ok to step out and use other choices like I have done here. These cards were really easy to whip up and it was very quick too! I used the pennant punch to create the Christmas trees and layered all coordinating cardstock and DSP.

I created these for the ladies that attended our monthly downline meeting and I liked giving each one a card that was a little different. This would also make a great gift as a card set for someone special!

I hope you like what you see and thank you for stopping by for a visit :) 

Beautiful DSP Christmas Wreath

As a new Stampin' Up consultant, I am excited to share my love for Stampin' Up with friends, family and hopefully future friends :) My friend Claudia recruited me and she has been a great source of information and help as I consider my options and get started. She has also been my Stampin' Up demonstrator for about 7 years!!

She held a meeting this month for her downline and it was a blast to attend! We created amazing wreaths using the Season of Style Designer Series Paper (item # 132340). It did take a little time but we were in such good company that the time passed quickly and we had an amazing finished product to display in our homes!

I absolutely love the way this turned out and have received many compliments. 

Thank you for taking the time to view my project and I hope you like it as much as I do!
