Sleigh Bells

Hello and welcome, everyone! 

Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog sharing another Christmas project. I've paired two amazing sets to create my project for today and I'm so excited to share it with you all. 

I paired the sleigh from CG Nutcracker Dream Set with the candles and greenery from the Centerpiece Tray with Candles and Greenery Set. 

 I used 12 x 12 Kraft cardstock, lined it with Alexandra Renke Washi Tape for the sleigh accent pieces while the Silhouette cut the sleigh. I repeated the process for the candles. I let the greenery cut while I started assembling the sleigh. Once the greenery was cut and assembled, I used floral wire to create two bunches one larger than the other to arrange around the candles. 

 I used the Silhouette to sketch the sheet music and title, then rolled and hot glued into place. 

 The red berries are from Christmas picks I had in my craft room. 

I'm sure a few are wondering why the silver and gold sleigh bell. It's a little nod to my dad. Every year when Burl Ives comes on the radio singing Silver and Gold my dad belts out the lyrics, "Silver and gold, silver and gold".  Memories that I cherish. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry & Bright

Happy Friday! I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday and hopefully, you survived the craziness if you ventured out for Black Friday sales. 

Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog and since we are officially in the holiday season I thought I would decorate my craft room with a few things by SVG Attic. 

My color inspiration came from the felt garland. 

I started with the Banner from the Sweet Shop Party. This is one of my favorite sets from SVG Attic. The banner is easily customized just by adding your own text to it. 

Using Blu Raspberry, Red Hot, and Green Apple cardstock to cut the top overlay banner with the sentiment then cut a solid banner using Madero Beach cardstock, adhered the two together. Using a red and white bakers twine to hang the banner. 

The 3D Tree Hex Base is so fast to cut and assemble. These would be so cute on a mantel, centerpiece, any time of year. I used DCWV Favor Boxes Stack to create the green and red tree, Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid for the smaller tree. I was going for a retro feel so I added the Pom Pom Fringe around the base of each tree with quick dry adhesive. 

To create balance I added Snapdragon Snippets snowflakes, design #22595.

Happy Holiday Poinsettias

Hello and welcome back, everyone! Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog spreading Christmas joy. Can you believe we are five days away from November? I decided to get a head start on Christmas starting with a card and gift box featuring these beautiful poinsettias from the JGW Poinsettia Passion Kit! I have to say that I love the poinsettias from this particular collection, they're easy to cut and assemble. I borrowed the box from the JGW Gone Fishing Kit.

You can find easy to follow tutorials on the Needles 'n' Knowledge Blog: Poinsettia Doily Frame Card and the Trout Jumping Gift Card Box. 

The card is a 6 x 6 card which is perfect for showing off that gorgeous poinsettia.

The box is 5 x 5 x 1.5 with a gift card insert and there's extra space underneath to add candy. This would be perfect for a co-worker who loves candles. A gift card to a candle shop and a small pack of votives. I assembled the box in less than 10 minutes, it's super simple. And I like to remind everyone about my favorite tip of using binder clips while assembling projects. It truly keeps your hands free and that keeps things moving along. 

I have to tell you the paper is My Mind's Eye -  Winterberry. It's so beautiful, I love the colors. 

As always, thanks for joining us!

Black and White Cards

Hi and welcome, everyone! 

Today I'm over on the Twine It Up Blog sharing black and white cards featuring one of October's Showcase Products, Gray Licorice Trendy Twine. Since I'm featuring Trendy Twine that is gray and black I thought black and white cards would be perfect and it gives me a chance to show you how easy these cards can be. 

The Happy Thanksgiving Stamp Set has a lot of thankful sentiments that can be used year round. 

I decided to work with the So Thankful sentiment. This is a great guy card and super simple.

I laid black in down on an embossing folder, inserted a 4.125" x 5.25" white cardstock, carefully close the folder and run through Big Kick. Tip: If you lay the cardstock on the opposite side of the ink and secure it with post-it tape you can re-ink the embossing folder and run it back through if you need to.
Die-cut a piece of black cardstock to fit the sentiment; lay down some anti-static powder on black cardstock, stamp sentiment using VersaMark and heat set white embossing powder. 
Add fun foam to the back if the embossed white cardstock, wrap Gray Licorice Trendy Twine and tie a knot, adhere to a 4.25"x5.5" card base, add the sentiment over twine using 3D mounting foam, finish off with a few clear sequins.

___________________________________________________________

This next card is just die-cutting white cardstock, layering it over black cardstock, stamp the sentiment on the bottom right corner, offset the bottom half of the die-cut and add 3D mounting foam, wrap Gray Licorice Trendy Twine around securing in place on 3D mounting foam, adhere to card base. I just iridescent drops to finish off the card.  
The sentiment can be found on the Let It Snow Stamp Set. This set has a lot of great sentiments.

________________________________________________________________

I did the same process of adding ink to an embossing folder and running it through the BigKick. 
I used white ink on black cardstock and ran it through several times each time adding more ink. I love the way the ink pulled giving it a crackled look.  I decided to add clear embossing all over the white ink and heat set to really bring out that crackled look. 

I wrapped the Gray Licorice Trendy Twine around the card base, added 3D mounting foam to the back of the embossed black cardstock, stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from the Happy Thanksgiving Stamp Set. So easy.

Christmas Wishes

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm taking over the SVG Attic Blog today and sharing one last Christmas project. Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I still needed gift tags?

 The gift tag is from the JGW Just Sew Collection - Easel A7 Tag.

I love this tag because the recipient can display it so easily. The trick for this tag is one 12 x 12 piece of double-sided patterned paper. I used Photoplay's Mad About Plaid paper. 

The poinsettias are from the JGW Poinsettia Passion Collection - Poinsettia Doily Framed Card. To create them I used PhotoPlay's Mad About Plaid and resized two of them in smaller sizes.  Once I had them cut out I simply added Distress Oxide Ink in Candied Apple and Fired Brick on the petals.  Using an Embossing Ink Dauber and Gold Embossing Powder I added texture to the largest flower. It really popped those flowers off the tag.  I used the same green Mad About Plaid paper to cut the leaves and greenery. I flipped the pattern on the leaves, every other leaf.

Happy Holidays + Holiday Hang Ups

Hi and welcome back. Today I'm taking over the SumMore Fun Blog with a Christmas  card featuring the Raisin Boat  Holiday Hang Ups Stamp Set. I love retro ornaments, so I had to have this set, so beautiful!  I used the Distress Oxide Inks to coordinate with the current Mood Board. 

I'm going to share a little secret with ya. You have to try this cardstock, it's amazing.
It comes in 15 different colors, #100, sturdy cardstock, loving it.

To create this look I used a stamp position tool, stamping the ornaments in Peacock Feathers, Candied Apple Red, Fossilized Amber and the branch with Peeled Paint. Using Gold ink stamp sparkles randomly. Added fun foam to the white cardstock panel and layered on Raisin Boat My Colors Cardstock - Roasted Red Pepper. Finished off with a few glitter enamel dots on stamped sparkles.

Sleigh Full of Goodies

Happy Friday, everyone! Today I'm taking over the SVG Attic Blog today with a modern take on the Sleigh from the SVGA Holiday Cheer Gift Boxes Collection.

The sleigh is a great way to gift money or gift card with a box beneath the sleigh. Adding the recipient's favorite holiday candy is an added bonus. I used My Mind's Eye Joyful Collection and Mixed Bag (ephemera) to decorate it. The sleigh is so easy to assemble, perfect make a head hostess gifts, the unexpected +1 guest and teachers gifts.

I used the easel card from the JGW Halloween Soiree Collection to create a matching card.

Here's to a wonderful Holiday Season! 

As always, thanks for joining us today!
