I tried something a little different using the holly stamp from the Christmas Gleaming set. I started with a piece of Mint Macaron card stock. I stamped the image using the Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink pad and embossed it using silver embossing powder. I colored around the images using a Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends. The…
If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I am a fan of topiaries. When I saw Beauty & Joy in the Holiday catalog I knew I would have to own it. The pretty plaid paper is from the Wrapped in Plaid 6" x 6" Specialty DSP in the Holiday Catalog. …
It is rare but occasionally I make a card that has no stamping on it. These little snowpeople crack me up! Their little faces are so expressive. I punched them out of the Let it Snow Specialty DSP. This pack of paper is so darn cute and sometimes I wish it wasn't double sided. I…
Don't you love it when a card comes together quickly? Believe me, it doesn't happen to me often enough. I found the stamped image above and the cut DSP stuck in the Beauty & Joy stamp case. There were even card stock layers for the oval and the DSP in the case. I don't remember…

Are you like me and still working on Christmas gifts? Here's a quick and easy gift card holder/ Christmas card. I am using the Vertical Greetings stamp set, All is Bright DSP, and sentiments from Signs of Santa and Dashing Deer. I was looking through my stamp sets and the very last set ( I…
There were so many fabulous stamp sets and bundles in the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. So many sets I am going to miss. I had so much fun with the Signs of Santa stamp set and the coordinating dies and wanted to play with them for this week's Create with Connie & Mary Challenge….
I promise this is the last Peaceful Poinsettia post…for this week at least! On my stamp table I have a box where I keep bits and pieces of things. I went through the box to see if there were any treasures I could use for today's post. I found a sparkly poinsettia. Now I have…
