Holiday
All Your Days
I love creating Holiday home decor pieces. Every year, I get them out and place them around my home, remembering past times creating these goodies. Today's project is a shadowbox frame using that amazing reindeer die from the Reindeer Days Suite. The reindeer die has three different reindeers to cut out to achieve the full reindeer look. I've used this die for several projects and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. The reindeer is just … [Read more...] about All Your Days
Making Your Own Background
One of the cards I shared Monday used the full-sized background die. It makes an amazing frame of pine boughs overlapping the interior of the frame. This is the die I'm referring to. Once you die cut the frame, you end up with a funny looking reverse image, or the inside piece from the frame. You can take that inside piece and use it to make a fabulous background. First, you'll want to center it over your card stock that you're going to … [Read more...] about Making Your Own Background
New Kits Collection-Christmas Ornaments
One of the brand new kits this month is the Christmas Ornaments kit. I am so excited for this kit. These ornaments are going to look amazing tied to the top of Holiday gifts. The ornaments are bigger than I thought they would be. The larger ones are almost 4" across. I just received a bunch of these kits last week. And after opening the box, you can bet I set one aside for myself. I haven't had a chance to make the ornaments yet, but I did … [Read more...] about New Kits Collection-Christmas Ornaments

Thanks!
The Holiday season is flying by and it'll be January before we know it. I've been making an effort to use the last couple of stamp sets that I hadn't used yet from the August-December Catalog before it ends. One set I haven't had a chance to use very much is the Warmest Hearts bundles. Today's is a quick card using the thermos from the stamp set again. I just love the plaid look on the thermos. I still have another Holiday stamp set to … [Read more...] about Thanks!
