Northern Flurry Christmas Card

Now that Halloween has passed, I am gearing up for Christmas! Here is a Christmas card I made recently with some new products from the Holiday Mini Catalogue. I sponged the snowflakes on the embossed background piece lightly with Whisper White Craft Ink and a sponge dauber. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I also added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to them with the 2-Way Glue Pen. The little white snowflake above the greeting is from the Northern Frost Decorative Strip. This product offers great value as it gives you eight different snowflakes on one Big Shot die! A few rhinestones on the centres of the snowflakes add shine.

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Mini Milk Carton

The Got Treats stamp set is so much fun; it was designed to coordinate with the Mini Milk Carton Bigz die, but I've also seen some fun cards made with it. This cute little Halloween treat holder came together quickly. The scallop mat behind the pumpkin is two scallop square punches cut to fit.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Harvest

We had Thanksgiving here in Canada this past Monday, and I wanted to whip up a little treat for my dinner guests to take home with them. I saw the idea for this blessing mix and box here on Angie Juda's blog, and thought it was just so cute. I tweaked the mix a bit to include cashews (although we usually have Bugles corn chips in Canada, for some reason I couldn't find them anywhere last week). The box was quick and easy to put together and put a smile on my guests' faces.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

A Touch of Paris

What a gorgeous stamp set Artistic Etchings is; the images are romantic and classic, with just the right touch of vintage. It coordinates beautifully with the En Francais background stamp. To get a more subtle look, I stamped off both the medallion and the key images once on scrap paper before stamping on the cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: En Francais, Artistic Etchings

Paper: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla

Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze

Hi there! Sorry for my lack of posting lately...the pictures above say it all. The start of the school year is insanely busy for teachers (and I know it is for parents, as well).

Enjoy!

Whooo Loves the Owl Punch?

This adorable owl was made using the new Two-Step Owl Punch; when I saw this punch in the new catalogue, I knew it was going to the top of my must-have list right away. These 3x3'' cards

came together easily and quickly with a few key tools; the owl punch, the branch from the Two-Step Bird Punch, and the Woodgrain background stamp. I hand-wrote the sentiment on the second card with a Stampin' Write marker. The owl is super easy to put together, especially if you make a whole batch of the little guys all at once.

Have a great day!
