The day after Christmas



As I said before these are scheduled posts, since probably when you are reading this I am in PA. Today we should be heading back to Atlanta.
And I have to share with you the last batch of Xmas cards, again the stamps are not SU. I used confetti cream, garden green and bravoo burgundy cardstock for these cards. And actually there were Sean's family Christmas cards.

Enjoy!

Stocking Prints



Merry Christmas everyone!!!

The stamps used are not SU!

Scraps Christmas Cards



Few days ago I promissed that I will share my Xmas cards. I was able to make 40 out of the planned 50 and I am proud of it, since I was working 12 hrs a day, 7 days a week for the past 3 weeks. As well tonight we finished testing the Excitation System units and they will be shipping tomorrow, and tomorrow morning Sean and I are flying to Baltimore,MD and from there renting a car and driving to York,PA.
Anyway here is part of the Xmas cards I made. I kept them all simple, since I had just little bit of time. For this one I used some retired leftover dsp (riding hood red prints), the sentiment is not SU!. As well I added some random buttons and some linen thread. I sew the focal part using red thread.

Check back tomorrow for some more Xmas cards :) I will have a post scheduled for you ;-)

Snow Burst Glass Mug

12 Days of Holiday Sales and Specials on my Instructions(ends 12/22)

Here is another gift I created in less than an hour. This shows how you can use your stamps as stencils. I stamped the images from Snow Burst set (retired) on tissue paper and using tape I adhered it to the inside of the mug and using Vitrea markers (frosted and glossy blue) I traced on the outside of the mug. You will need to let it dry for 24hr and then you will need to bake the object for about 40 min to set the paint. The paint is not toxic and after it's set it can be washed in the dishwasher (not the paint but the object, in my case the mug)

Here's some love to keep you warm

12 Days of Holiday Sales and Specials on my Instructions(ends 12/22)

Here is a jar of hot chocolate and marshmallows I made for my husband for Xmas. I didn't have much time to be creative, so I had to whip something fast. Today I was able to pick up my box with the SU! goodies, mainly definitely decorative vinyl sheets and one of them was the clear one. So using the snowflake sizzlits I cut out bunch of snowflakes and adhered them to the jar. Then added a strip of dp layered on baja breeze card stock and stamped and punched the sentiment from Cold and Cuddly set. I decorated the top with a cut out penguin from the same set and adhered it with dimensionals to add dimension.

I really like how the clear snowflakes came out.

The vinyl sheets are part of the 12 Days Holiday sales, and there are 2 12x24 sheets in one pack for only $9.71 (I think)




Merry and Bright

One Christmas card down, 49 more to go. LoL. I will get there, if not this year, next. I made only 1 card today and finished (almost) the hanmade gifts for my hubby ( you can read gifts=candy) I will share those in a bit. But here is the card I made for him. The stamps , patterned paper and ribbon are not SU! As well the coloring medium (alcohol based markers). I used real red and baja breeze cardstock for the card, as well some of the last years Holiday Mini felt snowflakes.


I cased this card from Nina Bracket, she had the same layout and set used, but different papers and different color scheme. I thought those colors would be little girly for my hubby, so I changed the color scheme ;-)

There will be another post(or two) coming soon.

I am so sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. After work we went to Target, as I had to pick up couple things, and when we got home it was already 8pm ( I was at work until 7.20pm). Until we had dinner was already 9pm and I was too tired to do anything
Anyway, today we finished little early with the testing, so I got home at 6pm, that has been first in a while...lol...So I had little time and little energy to make this card. I used the same sketch as my previous post, which was the SCS259 (I think) and some of the new Occasions Mini catalog goodies.
Tomorrow evening I am planning to tackle my Xmas cards, maybe I will show you my process of mass producing....
