Christmas Projects

I pray that all of you had a wonderful Christmas. My husband and I had our family here for dinner. We enjoyed our time together.
I have added a couple of pictures of some things I made. As you will see they are not Stampin' Up! only this time. I crocheted covers for the candy canes added ribbon and a little tag. The tag was made using the jewelry tag punch and the saying is from the stamp set "Tiny Tags." I could have used Stampin' Up! ribbon, but I chose not too, it is just from a craft store.

The Christmas ornament below was made using retired Stampin' Up! rub-ons, silver elastic cord, and clear trim tinsel. Once again, the only thing that is current Stampin' Up! is the jewelry punch tag and the saying is from the stamp set "Tiny Tags."

The three candy canes you see I ended up giving to the head cashiers where I work. I have not done anything with the ornament as of yet. I may keep it for myself or give it to one of my daughters.
Have a great day! If you have family from out of town, like I do, enjoy your time with them. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Please leave a comment if you would like.

Now go-n-stamp!!

Candy Lane Christmas 60 Card Class

Have you ever decided to do a class similar to what you have done before, but differently? Well, that is what I have done with this class. To be honest, I do not think I will ever do it again, though. Instead of using the simply scrappin' kit to do this class, I decided to change it up a bit and use Candy Lane Christmas DSP and Candy Cane rub-ons. I knew this class would be different because of not having the stickers to decorate with, but I didn't realize how much time and work the stickers saved. The rub-ons needed help. There were not many borders to use either. Needless to say, I have had to do a lot of punching and improvising. The cards are turning out very pretty, but it is taking quite a while to do.

I still have a lot more samples I need to make up, but here are quite a few I have done. I am glad that even though it is a lot of work, at least they are turning out great.

Tell me what you think? Have you ever experienced anything like this before?

Tile with Rub-Ons

Wow!! I love how this tile turned out. I am planning on making some more. These would make wonderful gifts. I think I want to buy some stands to set them on instead of trying to make a ribbon hanger or using magnetic strips.

I once again used retired rub-ons (Love and Happiness), ribbon (soft sky), and cardstock (soft sky) to make this project. I have a hard time using current things when I need those for classes and workshops.

I love the shimmer paint!! I used the frost white on the butterflies, which made it look like I used metallic paper.

The first thing I did was put the rub-on onto the glazed tile, which is kind of a beige color. I used my new sizzix embosslit Beautiful Wings die (Occasions Mini Catalog) to make the butterflies. I love it already. I used soft sky cardstock then rubbed blue bayou classic ink on them with a stamping sponge. I sprayed them with frost white shimmer paint and allowed them to dry. To place them on the tile I used dimensionals and glue dots. I went around the edges of the tile with a stamping sponge that I put in blue bayou classic ink. The last thing I did was attach the soft sky ribbon. To help hold the ribbon in place I used glue dots underneath it.

You have to try this for yourself. You can use any rub-ons you may have and just use your imagination to fill it all in.

Take a minute to tell me what you think. I love comments!!
