Season Like Christmas

Leave a reply

Here’s one of the cards that I recently offered at a “come and make some cards quickly” event. I myself managed to make some too whilst helping everyone with carding and cake. Oh yes, there are always cake or cookies at my classes. This uses most of the tree from Season Like Christmas – it’s a three stamp but I only used 2 for the tree.

Although there are 4 stamps to be stamped, it’s still quick to make. First use the soft suede for the trunk and then stamp off the old olive and stamp the full tree, then add the detail with full strength old olive. To finish add the grassy bank – some of mine were full strength, some weren’t. Then I put that onto a piece of old olive to give it a border but after the fact wondered about soft suede so tried that too.

For the background it’s a piece of Merry Little Christmas DSP on a thick whisper white base. Easy to carve up a sheet of 12 by 12 into 6 background pieces and then make up half a dozen cards quickly.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

Festive Phrases

Leave a reply

Here’s an adorable card that we made at my Stamp a Stack last week; my customers chose a card (or cards) and then made a set of ten of each. This card using notecards and Festive Phrases was a popular one. The preparation was quite quick too – all I had to do was cut a length of ribbon for each person and cut out 10 pieces of whisper white with the largest stitched shapes oval framelit.

It’s amazing that every time we do coloring, the room becomes silent as people concentrate. Here we used Stampin’ Write markers in soft suede, real red and garden green. And then the finishing touch – a bow out of the beautiful Quilted Christmas ribbon. It’s retiring so if you want some, it’s as supplies last.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

Santa Popcorn

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing a project I made for a recent craft fair. I only did one this year since I wasn’t sure how my energy level would hold up; I’m happy to say that I made it through the fair but I needed a lot of sleep to recover! It took me quite a while to make my things for the fair too – just a few at a time. Anyway, if you need a simple project for your kids’ teachers or friends, here’s one that you can make very quickly.

I simply measured the microwave popcorn packet, cut some cherry cobbler to size and wrapped it around the popcorn. For my popcorn packets, I used 9″ by 6″ which meant that I got 2 wrappers out of a sheet of 12 by 12 with a 3 by 12 piece leftover. For the belt, I glued a buckle made from 2 retired ornate punches. Punch the smaller one first so that you can line up the bigger, it’s much easier that way. Ask me how I know! The buttons are punched out with the half inch circle punch. I also used one of the pieces left over to make a little gift card holder and used circle punches for the belt. I didn’t actually finish the gift card holder in time for the fair; I ran out of time or more accurately, energy. But I’m thrilled to be back doing some crafting and blogging.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
