November Blog Hop - Lovely as a Tree

Hey there friends,

So glad you could join me today - it is a very special day! Me and my Blogging Friends wanted to create projects using the all. time. favourite stampset.........Lovely as a Tree! This is the longest running stampset that Stampin'UP! has sold!  And if you haven't purchased it yet, you are sure gonna want to after today!  ;)

This stampset is SO versatile.  The trees as so wonderful, there is a pine, an oak and a vignette of trees and if that weren't enough, you also have some little stamps of leaves and pine needles to add to the front of a card or to the inside or envelope.  So much fun!  

The card I have made to share with you today is a simple one.  I was in need of some sympathy cards and I respectfully like to keep them simple. Simple but beautiful.  Here is my card.....

I used the largest stamp in this set.  I love this little scene of trees, with their leaves all gone.  It is hard to tell in these pictures, but I used my Wink of Stella on the branches.  It looks so pretty in real life.  

My greeting is from another of my all time stampsets Teeny Tiny Wishes. Another must have.  It captures every occasion you can think of.  

So, next stop on the hop is with Rick Adkins.  I always love to see what he creates!

Happy hopping.

Christmas Wrap up!

Hello my stampin' friends,

Thank you for stopping by!  I have been missing in action during this Christmas season - sorry about that!  I am hoping to make it up to you with all of my Christmas creations in one post!

Where have I been? Well, getting ready for Santa's big arrival of course!  Let me show you what I have been working on.....

Here are the teacher and bus driver gifts my kids gave out on their last day of school.  I saw some examples of these all over Pinterest and had to give it a try.  Santa Fry boxes!  They were very fun and easy to make and inside were some Christmas treats.

 Next picture is the Christmas card I made with my card class ladies for our last Christmas card class of 2014.  I used our all time favourite stampset - Lovely as a Tree.  I used Georgous Grunge with some White Craft Ink to make some snow falling down. 

This is one of my favorite cards for this year - it was my first attempt at a shaker card!  It was a lot of fun!  I made this one live on Roger's Daytime TV - super easy with our Shaker stickers!  I used the new Star Embossing folder to give my Whisper White cardstock some dimension.  I used the Mingle all the Way stamp from the set Merry Messages.

 This card I made a few years ago, but sent it out this year to my far away family!  I used the retired stampset Snow Much Fun - if you can ever buy this set - grab it!  I embossed my Whisper White cardstock using the Northern Flurries embossing folder and my BigShot.  I gave this snowman some glittery snowballs.

Below are the tags I made using some inspiration from Becky Roberts!  These treat bags were for the kids hockey team mates as well as the sisters who are a big help keeping score and carrying water bottles and all of the extra stuff that happens behind the scene of a hockey team!  It put a big smile on their faces!

I used my new Tree Punch as well as my mini Star punch.  My greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes - I LOVE this set!

Last but not least, I have my final Christmas card.  I used my Wreath Stampset and matching framelits.  I can`t wait to use this set again - stay tuned for some valentines card using this!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  

Thank you for all of your support this year and I wish you all the best for 2015.

Happy Stampin`

Wow has it been a while since I have posted anything!  I have been getting ready for the big day - you know shopping, decorating, wrapping and watching our favourite Christmas movies!  I hope you have been just as busy.

 

I have a CASED Christmas card to share with you today.  I saw a card very similar to this on the internet, but I can't remember where.  I remember thinking 'Gorgeous Grunge to make falling snow - Genius!'  Really, one more fabulous reason to buy the Gorgeous Grunge stampset!
