Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday! I thought I would share the projects that I did with all of my clubs this month.

  I got the idea for this gift bag from Angie Juda’s blog here . We made these at each club and I gave everyone a bag of my homemade Christmas candy to put inside of it, although pretty much everyone ate the candy before we finished the project! The stamp set is from the Country Living special and I cut out the front and back pieces for the bag using the Top note die in the Big Shot.

This was an ornament I made using a coaster, our Ski Slope DSP, the snow flurries,  and our chipboard frames. These are super easy to make. We sponged the frames with close to cocoa craft ink, glued the paper to the coaster, trimmed it and sanded the edges. The snowman is from Punch Pals and we stamped him on watercolor paper and then colored him. The snowflake is attached with a glue dot and then covered in glitter. I love that twine for hanging the ornaments. You can unravel it to give it a totally different look.  

  This last project was a birthday card I received from my good friend Kimberly Van Diepen. She always does such gorgeous cards and when I showed the card to my customers, they were all begging me to make it in class. The daisies are stamped in white craft and embossed with irridescent ice. THe butterflies are stamped in close to cocoa, cut out and then stamped with the versamark pad and embossed with irridescent ice also. They all loved the card and most of them didn’t want to give it away because it was too pretty to part with.
