Shabby Sheak Ornament

I call this the "Shabby Sheak Ornament" because it's made out of a bar coaster.  It's just like chipboard.  I covered the coaster with Stampin' Up! Christmas themed DSP paper and then I ran it through the big shot.  I cut out little triangles for the trees and embellished a little.  I like to add the year so I can look back and remember what my boys looked like that year.  I try to make one of these every Christmas using various shapes and designer paper.  It's also a fun project top make with kids.

Hope you are inspired!

 




Color Combo Challenge: Flower Shop

I saw a card on Pinterest that inspired my design on this card, but I wanted to change it up with different colors.  The Island Indigo, Pool Party and Pistachio Pudding combo make a nice team.







Throwback Thursday: Hershey Nugget Gift Box

Today's Throwback project is a Hershey Nugget Gift Boxs.  I purchased these tins on-line and they were perfect for holding nuggets.  I decorated with the brown wrapping paper from Stampin' Up! And I stamped white address labels with snowflakes using Chocolate Chip and Soft Sky ink and wrapped the nuggets.  Makes for a great gift for a party hostess.





Birthday Cake Card

I made this card for a class, but I'm thinking it would be great for a sweet 16 birthday card and of course a wedding card.

I made the cake by cutting a piece of white card stock, can't remember the exact size, but 5 x 3 3/4 should be good.  I ran the sheet through an embossing folder.  Then I cut 3 strips of paper and then I cut them in stacks, rounded the corners.  The bottom part of the cake I used the Stampin' Up! Scallop Trim Border Punch.
