Christmas Frestive Flurry Gifts

I hope everyone had a very Merry CHRISTmas! New Years is just around the corner. Before the New Year arrives, I wanted to share with you some little gifts I made up for my three office managers. They are all alike, but different in colors. These are fun and easy to create, as long as you have the tools. I will share with you what you need.

These are created with all Stampin' Up! products, except for the clear bags.

Classic Ink: StazOn Black, Real Red, Coastal Cabana,  and Island Indigo

In case you wonder, my managers loved them. They think I am so creative. I think, if you have the right tools you can do about anything. I hope you enjoy them, too.

Festive Flurry Framelits Easel Card

It has been a little while since I have posted. Sometimes the busyness of life gets in the way. I hope everyone had a very nice Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed my family and being able to get to spend some time with all of them.

I don't know about you, but I am ready to get things ready for Christmas. This easel card can be the kick-off for it. I had never made an easel card. I watched how to make one on YouTube and off to work I went. 

This card has many layers. Due to that reason, it is heavy. To help give some support for the snowflake to stand up better, I attached a toothpick underneath. It also keeps it in place that way.

When I purchased the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies, I did not purchase the stamp set that went along with it. I just used designer series paper form the Winter Frost paper stack and the Winter Frost Specialty DSP. 

If you would like to try and make one of these, here is the list of Stampin' Up supplies you will need.

Cardstock:  Island Indigo, Whisper White, Brushed Silver, and Winter Frost DSP
Ink:  Classic Island Indigo
Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Tools:  Big Shot, Festive Flurry Framelits, and Bitty Banners Framelits
Accessories:  Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle and Frosted Finishes Embellishments

You can do what I did and go to YouTube to see how one is made. Before you go, leave a comment if you would like. Thank you for looking!!

Modern Medley Tea Bag Holder

As promised, I am sharing with you a 3-D project, today! I did not come up with this idea on my own. I seen it on Pinterest and knew it would be fun to make. I sometimes have a hard time making some things because I think to myself when would I ever use it. I did consider that when I was playing with the idea of making this item, but I thought I should do it anyhow. As you can see, I did.

To be honest, I still need to buy some tea bags to fill this up. I am not a tea drinker. I really would like to find a type of tea that would maybe somewhat match, but I do not know if that is possible. If you are a tea drinker and have a suggestion, that would be much appreciated. I thank you.

Stampin' Up! items used to create this.
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Real Red, Very Vanilla, and Modern Medley DSP

Flower Shop Birthday 2

Today, I am sharing another card made using the stamp set "Flower Shop." This one was made for a very good friend of mine. Before I worked outside of the home, I went shopping with her almost every Thursday. Since I work now, I don't see her much at all. I think I need to give her a much needed call and get together with her again this week. Sounds like an excellent plan.

 These are the Stampin' Up! products you will need to create this card.
Classic Ink:  Bravo Burgundy
Stamp Sets:  Flower Shop and From My Heart
Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz, White Vellum, and Afternoon Picnic DSP
Tools:  Big Shot, Deco Labels Collection Framelits, Little Leaves Sizzlits, Pansy Punch, White Embossing Powder, and a Blender Pen
Accessories:  3/8" Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon (Retired)

After I had this all finished the thing that bothered me the most is the White embossing powder. I think they need to come up with a Very Vanilla embossing powder. Tell me what you think. One more thing, be watching, I will be posting a 3-D project in the next week or so.

Serene Silhouettes Thank You Card

Every once in a while someone does something very nice to help you out and doesn't expect anything in return. A friend in our church fixed my computer for me for nothing. The least I could do was make a card. We did do a little something else just because we wanted to.

Stampin' Up! products used to create this card.
Cardstock: Basic Gray, Early Espresso, Summer Starfruit, Very Vanilla, and Soho Subway DSP
Stamp Set: Serene Silhouettes and sentiment from Wetlands
Ink: Early Espresso
Tools: Big Shot, Oval Framelits, Decorative Label Punch, and my trusty Stampin' Sponge

Unfortunately, the picture does not do this card any justice. It was much nicer to see in person than this. Sorry about that.
Have a great week. I will try to post again, within the week. Thanks for stopping by!

Wetlands Anniversary Card

My husband and I had our 29th Anniversary on the 29th of September. The card you see was created with the saying "To the best friend I've ever had." I don't know about you, but that is how I feel about my husband. We have always been able to talk. It is such an important part of marriage. That is why I chose that for the sentiment.
 This is the third card I have made using the stamp set "Wetlands." I can tell you right now, this is my favorite! I feel the early espresso cardstock used behind the sponged scene just made it "POP.

 I decided to show you two different views of this card because I wanted you to see that the Canadian Goose was cut out and attached with dimensionals. If you want to know the truth. I made a smudge and needed to fix it. That was my way of doing that. A lot of times you can work with your mistakes. If not, well, you have to start all over.

These are the Stampin' Up! items you need to create this card.
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Whisper White
Classic Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, and Bermuda Bay
Stamp Sets:  Wetlands and Label Love
Tools:  Stampin' Sponge, Stampin' Distress Tool, and the Artisan Label Punch
Accessories:  Early Espresso Baker's Twine

If you have time, please leave a comment. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog. I always want to say, "My little part of the world." Have a great day!
