Holiday Hop 2012

Hello and welcome to our Holiday Hop! I love to do the hops and of course seeing what everyone else makes, but this month is such a busy time of year that I kept my projects simple. If you are just joining the hop there is a link below that will take you through the whole hop.
 My first project is a treat container that I think would be great for my nieces and nephew when they come to visit. I would feel them with little treats. I used the Petal Cone Die and made a Christmas tree from Lucky Limeade Card Stock. There is textured add to the tree with the Petals a Plenty Embossing folder and I sponged the card stock with Lucky Limeade Ink.  I used the Tasteful Trim XL Die and cut the double scallop in half to make the garland then I added ornaments with the Merry Minis Punch Pack in Real Red Glimmer Paper, Primrose Petal and Early Espresso and the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. To make the ornaments a little more fun I added Crystal Effects on each one then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on the Crystal Effects while it was still wet.

 

My next project focusing on gift wrapping. I love to personalize the gift wrap and packaging when giving a home made gift and our Kraft Gift Boxes can help you with that. I used more of the Candlelight Christmas Specialty Paper to make a bow and "wrap" the box. I say wrap because the box is still able to be opened with out havin to remove the pieces. I like to make my bows with brads to hold them together so the center of this bow has a nice sparkley Real Red Glimmer Brad. Simple yet pretty or at least I hope the receipent thinks so. This box will be for an ornament that I need to make for an ornament exchange we are doing at our church. Now moving on to our final project which can be for your home or to give as a gift.  

 

I love to do glass etching and it is so easy with our Big shot and dies. I used the Snow Flurry Bigz Die to cute out clear contact paper and used the negative image and applied it to the glass then etched the glass. After removing the contact paper you are left with the snowflakes. I tried to get a picture of the candle vase with an actual candle in it but it the snowflakes didn't show up very well so I just placed a piece of card stock behind it for picture purposes. I hope you enjoyed my projects today and were inspired to create something new.

God Bless You

Hello and good afternoon! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I wanted to share this card that I recently made with you before then. This card is going to be a Thank you card for a special person who has offered our family a lot of support this past week. I used the Gently Falling Stamp Set and the Trust God Stamp Set. I used Cajan Craze, More Mustard, Old Olive and Soft Suede Card Stock and Ink Pads as well as Very Vanilla and Watercolor Card Stock. For textured I used the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder. I used just a bit of Linen Thread and punched the sentiment out with the Wide Oval Punch before I sponged the edges.
I hope you enjoyed today's card and more importantly that you are able to spend Thanksgiving with your loved ones. Thank you for stopping by, Tonya

Frosty Friends

Good morning! It is feeling a little chilly out this morning but not quite cold enough for these little Frosty Friends. We made this card last week at Stamp Club and it is such a hit in our family that we maybe using it as one of our personal Christmas Cards. The layout is cased from the Holiday Catalog with a few changes here and there. The base is Cherry Cobbler with texture added with the Snow Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I used Shimmer Paint in Frost White and Rubbing Alcohol to give the base just a bit of shimmer and sparkle. The Designer Paper is the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Pack. If you haven't checked this paper pack out you are missing a great group of designer papers. I really like them and you get four of each design which is great for your card making. We added Pool Party Baker's Twine around the card and added a bow to the side before adding our main image. The Frosty Friends and the Merry Christmas which is from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set were stamped on Whisper White Card Stock with Jet Black Stazon. The image was cut out with the Big Shot and the Apothecary Accents Framelits and then colored with a Blender Pen and the following Ink colors: Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. I hope you enjoyed today's card.

Petal Cone Santa

Hello again, I hope you have taken a moment to look over the Online Extravaganza.

I wanted to share him with you today because the Petal Cone Die that I used to make him is on sale right now during out Online Extravaganza for just $23.07. This is 30% off and if you don't own a Big Shot it is also on sale but for today only.

He would be great filled with candy and given to a special someone as a fun treat and is easy enough for kids to help make.

Finnish Star Ornament

Hello and good afternoon! I have been wanting to post this all week but we have had a super busy week and a little bit of unexepted things come up that have kept me from writting up the post. I have been making a variety of paper ornamnets and this one is a favorite of mine. It is just make with paper strips and once you have the general idea it goes together pretty quickly. I watched this video before making mine if you want to give them a try too. The strips I used are 6" by 1/2" just so you have a size reference. The supplies I used are: Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper, Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive, Snow Flurry Bigz Die, Delicate Doilies Sizzlits, Early Espresso Card Stock, Primrose Pink Card Stock,  and Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons. If you are interested in making one of these ornaments please check out my upcoming classes as we will be making them after Thanksgiving. I am going to make this check so I can get a few other things accomplished today. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend, Tonya
