Tempting Flurry of Wishes

...or something like that, is what I get when I combine part of the color and name of stamp set used today.

It's a bright fun Snowflake card:



I was aiming to make a card with non traditional blues... and REALLY like this combo! It's a very easy to copy card... I hope this will inspire you to branch out...

Delicate Ornament...

I didn't do much stamping on this card for sure. But the pretty ornament and glittery background didn't need much more:



I really like the Night of Navy together with the Wisteria Wonder! Maybe you want to try this combo one day too?

Vintage Leaves at it again

So I went through my little box of left over pieces from when I start a card and then go a different route... and found 2 leaves... and was able to whip out a card in no time:


I just can't get enough of those pretty leaves! Hope you like it ;-)

Happy Scenes simplyfied

Today's card literally only took me about 5 minutes to make! I combined Happy Scenes with Winter Wonderland Vellum and Snow Flurries. Can't go wrong with all the winter items! I hope you like the result:

Wonderland Antlers

So I have to admit that while I really like the pine trees from the Wonderland stamp set, the real reason why I bought it .... are the antlers! Instantly, I knew what I wanted to do with them:


It's PERFECT for the hunters in your life! Don't you agree?
And for this card I paired it with the matching vellum sheet from the Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack. Since those antlers are printed in black, I wanted to tie in the basic black and did dad with the banner layer...

Remarkable You

... is one of my "newer" stamp sets and I just LOVE it! So I put a really fast card together for you today:




I stamped the flower in black StazOn ink and colored it in with my AquaPainter... Now if you think the greeting looks a bit crooked, then you are right.   I didn't have my glasses on ....ooops! BUT as I always say to my stampers... that's just a VERY happy card ;-)

ICS Blog Hop Perfectly Packaged




Welcome to this month's round of blog hop by "Inspire, create & share". If you read my blog in an email, you want to click over to the blog so you can see all the picture and also the button to click to the next blog...

The theme this month is "perfectly packaged". And I am so very excited to show you project! It may just seem like an ordinary "boring" box, but be assured it's not...



... because I created it to fit around my pretty ornament:




Now if you simply wanted to take a looksy at my project and hop on over to Joni Metra, you can do that by clicking the button below. Or you can scroll down, read over the instructions and then come back up and continue with the hop... I am sure we are in for a real treat today with all the projects!




Instructions for the box:
A 12x12 piece of cardstock was scored with box punch board to make the largest box (4x4). Just follow the lines on the board!


To make and insert for the ornament to sit on, an 6 1/8 square piece of CS was used:
















Tips for the plastic ornament:
-  The half of the ornament that will fit inside the other half was used to trace a circle on scrap CS to create a template
-  circle was cut out by hand following along the INSIDE of the traced line to make circle smaller so it will sit on inside of rim
-  Template was traced onto Vellum CS and cut out (minor adjustment cuts may be needed to make it fit better)
-  Vellum Circle was textured
-  Sleigh was die cut from Smoky Slate CS, Trees from Whisper White and Houses from Very Vanilla CS
-  Trees were adhered across Vellum Circle then Sleigh over it. Scissors were used to cut bottom and sides round again following the Vellum Circle on backside
-  Vanilla Houses were adhered to backside and bottom and sides were shaped again as well.

-  Vellum circle was placed on rim of inside of the ornament half, glitter was added and fine-tip glue was used to apply glue to ornament half to seal
