Merry Christmas

This is an ornament made out of a drink coaster that I made last year! I used stamps from SparkleNSprinkle and this set of stamps is one of my favorite sets from them. I love to stamp penguins and find different ways to dress them with embossing powder, glitter, markers, flower soft, etc. The silver and red snowflakes were die cut using an old Cuttlebug snowflake die. I glued flower soft around the edges of the ornament. The stamp set can be found at www.sparklensprinkle.com. Have to get back to my cooking now. Two of my grandsons are here all day today and tomorrow three of them will be here. Christmas is all about children and family! Have a wonderful holiday season!

JOY

I'm just showing a very simple card today! I used red and white cardstock. I stamped the angel from Inkadinkado in white pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder from SparklenSprinkle. I then layered everything and used seam binding to tie the knot. Enjoy!

Beautiful Snowfall

I'm so sorry I have been missing in action!  I usually upload my pics from my laptop and it had to take a visit to the shop for repairs.  I'm hoping it will return home soon!  My PC is slow and I don't have photo editing on it so am going to just post my pics without editing.  This neat scene is from Rubber Cottage and is colored with copic markers.  I added Starfire Glitter #G1017 from http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/ on all of the snowy areas.  I love hos this glitter sparkles just like a new snowfall!  The poinsetta is stamped with white pigment ink and heat embossed with white opaque embossing powder.  The poinsetta stamp is from Heartfelt Creations and the die is from Spellbinders.  The cardstock is cherry cobbler from Stampin Up and the white is from Papertrey Ink.  Enjoy!

I tried uploading this card the other day and it just didn't work, so we will try again!  The stamp set is from SparkleNSprinkle and uses their glitter.  I stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.  I also paper pieced their coats.  I used lots of Moon Rose Tinsel on the lower part of the card.  You can see the details of the card at http://sparklensprinkle.com/g/view_photo.php?set_albumName=Christmas-New-Year&id=ayr.  Enjoy!

Holly Berries

Another Christmas card.  This one is very easy and simple.  The stamp is from SparkleNSprinkle and it was colored with Copic markers.  I die cut this out using my Grand Calibur and the Fleur de lis square nestabilities. I put glossy clear accents on the berries so they are really shiny!  I then layered everything to make a very simple card.  Enjoy.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!  My children will be coming by to eat "turkey" in the afternoon and my sweet hubby is doing the cooking so I will be able to play in my craft room for a little while!  I stamped the background with a set of stamps from Hero Arts in various colors.  The turkey is also a Hero Arts stamp.  The circle and tag is from Spellbinders dies.  I used Espresso Brown cardstock for the card.  Give thanks toay and be safe! 

Butterfly ornament

Another ornament for everyone to see!  I also used a coaster for the base of this ornament and covered it with pattern paper.  The butterfly was cut out of the pattern paper and also cut out of red cardstock.  I learned how to do this technique from my friend, Bekah.  You can see her blog at www.stampingwithbekah.com.  It has Starfire Glitter under the butterfly which is from www.sparklensprinkle.com.  I just used some stickers at the bottom of the ornament.  The red ribbon is from www.papertreyink.com as well as the coasters.  If anyone would like the directions for making the butterfly, please e-mail me and I will gladly type out the directions.  I will also probably be teaching this at www.paperink.net in Charlottesville, VA.
