Tote

This was such a fun little tote to make. I got the directions from Leigh O'Brien's tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers here. I used a retired DSP, but you can use whatever paper you like, and change up the design for every occasion.

Tree Trimmings Card

The stamp set used for this card is called Tree Trimmings (Pg. 44 of the catalog) and is a beautiful stamp set. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set (Pg. 157). The Basic Rhinestones add a little Christmas magic to the card. :) This is a very simple and clean cut card. Hope you enjoy it!

Card stock: Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Christmas Wine Bottle Topper

Who wouldn't love to get a dolled up wine bottle like this?! I CASE'd this adorable idea from Linda Joyce Steele; you can see her blog here. This would also make a cute door hanger, or Olive Oil topper. I used a square punch and the Word Window punch to make the snowman's hat. The antique brads give the scarf that perfect touch. My snowman reminds me of Tim Burton's characters! :)

Halloween Treat Holder

I wanted to create a cute Halloween treat box, so I searched online and found a great video tutorial here by the talented Dawn Griffith. It's so easy and cute! I used Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie for the card stock. I can't wait for Halloween!

Sweet Snowglobe

This card was a lot of fun to make with my girls. We used the new Sweet Snowglobe stamp from the Holiday Mini Catalog, which coordinates with the treat cups. The Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink are perfect for Christmas. There is glitter inside the treat cup, so it feels like a real snowglobe. Christmas really is sneaking up quickly; start your planning!

Make Merry Milk Carton

I love this new Mini Milk Carton die from Stampin' Up! It only uses half a sheet of 8.5" x 11" and is a snap to assemble. I stamped on the Bashful Blue card stock, then added the tag to the mini clip with twine. To the tag, I added a rhinestone to give it a Christmas feel.

Time for School!

My kids started school this morning. My big boy is in 2nd grade and my daughter is in Kindergarten (full day). It's been a rough morning, but I know they'll have a wonderful year. They really do grow up too quickly!
