I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ANYTHING WITH GINGERBREAD MEN!!

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am CRAZY for those cute little buttons, their little fat arms, EVERYTHING about gingerbread.

SOOOOOO, I just HAD to use a gingerbread man in my little goodie treats this year, right?

 Did I mention inside are FERRERO ROCHER chocolates???

 I made them with several different prints from my designer paper.

Look how nicely they fold up until you are ready to fill them up with the treats!!!

Thanks for stopping by to see some of my Treat boxes I have made.  I made 20 of them so far!!!

SIMON SAYS STAMP DECEMBER CARD KIT

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have been inside all day because of the wet cold weather.  I made some cards from my SSS Card Kit.  My first card I kept very simple because it is so pretty:

It was hard to catch in the photo, but I added sparkle glitter embossing powder to the two trees. I also colored in the two cardinal birds and added some self sticking sequins.  The Merry Christmas wouldn't fit on the outside, so I added it to the inside.

 This card I put two pieces of DSP.  And I cut out the HOHOHO and added the same sparkle glitter embossing powder.  I colored the red roofs and added some red sequins.

This one is my favorite.  I added a piece of striped paper on the right edge and then stamped some stars in both the green and the red inks.  I added both red and green sequins and stamped Merry Christmas in red.

Hope you enjoyed my cards.  As I do some more from this fun kit, I will post them for you.
Merry Christmas.  I feel like I need some music playing Christmas Carols this afternoon!!  GRIN

MERRY CHRISTMAS CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have been out of commission for a week or two getting ready for holiday events and taking care of my horses and little farm.  Please forgive me.

I have been taking an evening or two to work on my Christmas cards, however, and want to share what they look like this year.  My friend, Tammy, and I have been working on the cutting, measuring, and making of these cards so we could do an assembly line to make them.  We saw a similar design on Pinterest or the web, but we cannot find the original one we saw to tell you the designer.

 I used the gold glimmer paper and then rubbed pear pizzazz ink mixed with alcohol all over the glimmer paper and let dry.  Behind the glimmer paper is the gold shimmer paper.  The dsp is in pear pizzazz and white and I am sorry I can't remember which paper stack it came from. Base is pear pizzazz card stock.

The 1/8 inch gold ribbon is also rubbed in the pear pizzazz ink and dried before using it on the card.  The silver snowflake charms were embossed with gold embossing powder.  Also used were little candy dots we created with pear pizzazz ink mixed with the glitter glue white and then a dollop of crystal effects on top to make the little dot.  This was glued in the middle of the snow flake under the bow.  Gold sequins finish off the card (unknown source).

We also used grays for some more cards and marina mist blue for some cards.  I mailed those out without taking photos of them.  Rats!!  I was so intent on getting them out so they would be delivered for Christmas that I totally forgot to take photos.  But the gray cards and blue cards used silver glimmer paper, silver charms, white snowflakes and silver sequins, as well as silver 1/8 inch ribbon.

Hope you enjoyed my cards.  I am happy to say I got them all finished and they are all mailed too!!  WOO HOO this is big for me.  They are usually mailed out AFTER Christmas because I am so busy with all my customers during the holiday season.

A FUN CRAFT FOR SOME LAST MINUTE GIFTING

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have a NON STAMPING gift idea for you today.  However, add a stamped tag or card and there you go, right??!!

A very good friend of mine, Janet, gave this to me yesterday and I immediately had to share the idea with YOU.

This is a canning jar with a small string of lights inside and potpourri inside as well.  The top has been left off and a doily was tied around the top with a cute ribbon.

Plug in the lights and the heat from the lights helps the potpourri waft through the doily into your house.  It smells so wonderful!!

Isn't this the cutest idea E V E R??         LOVE    LOVE  LOVE IT.

Any potpourri and any small string of lights.

If you have any questions, let me know.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ENJOY YOUR CRAFTING OF ALL KINDS.

I am busy making body scrubs and decorated candles today.  I hope to share them in the next few days once they are completed.

CARD MADE WITH BEST OF SNOW STAMP SET

HELLO BLOGGIES,

Sorry I have not been on as often this past week, I am busy running around getting last minute gifts and completing my hand made gifts as well.

BUT, I still took a few minutes this morning to make this cute card to share with you.

 Crumb cake is the base of the card with cherry cobbler layer behind the stamped snowman image.

 I used one of the tags from the Stamp-a-Tag kit #132806 (LOVE THIS KIT) and stamped the sentiment, then attached cherry cobbler bakers twine from the  kit.

Some two way glue pen and some dazzling diamonds to hint at the snow and then just color here and there with your markers and it is finished!!

Hope you enjoyed my card today.  Won't you leave me some bloggie love below?

CUTE GIFT IDEA

Last night at card club. We made items from the kits available from SU.  The muslin bags, the bag it kit, the box it kit and a few other items that I have shown previously on this blog.

I also made some fun Magic Reindeer Food that I saw on Angie's blog.  Thanks Angie for your cute idea!!

 The box is very small and so very easy to create.  The reindeer snack is oat groats and some cake sprinkles.  Angie used oatmeal but I didn't have any so I used my oats that I grind into oatmeal.

 This is the little poem that goes with it and is adhered on the back of the box.

Here is a closeup of the little decoration of the reindeer on the front.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  Come back again to see some more fun ideas and projects, won't you?
