Paint Chip Inspiration #38: Christmas Lights on a String

I had a lot of fun making this paint chip card.  I used the Balloon Bouquet punch to punch out the balloons and snip off the ends so they look like light bulbs.







Stampin With Scraps: Christmas Wreath

I think I've made this type of wreath card at least 5 different times over the years, but it never gets old because each time the DSP paper is different.  I used scraps from This Is Christmas Specialty DSP and punched out circles using 3/4" circle punch.  The background was done using the Hardwood background stamp set and the greeting is from the Hostess set Time of Year.

A Little Birthday Sunshine...

I recently had a birthday and I was lucky enough to receive this pretty birthday card from my fellow Demonstrator friend Dale Morin.  Thank you!

Santa's Sleigh Class Projects

These cards are from my November Stampin Class.  These cards show the versatility of the Santa's Sleigh Thinlits.  We used the same thinlit for all three of these cards, but yet they all look different and unique.  

 





 



 



November Stampin Class Projects

Sharing my projects from my November Stampin Class.  More pictures and instructions in the coming days.  It was all about the Christmas season.


This was the giveaway for all the girls attending class.  I saw this cute and simple Chocolate Kisses mini tree on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect as a thank you giveaway at my class.



I punched out the tree using this punch and cutting off the bottom stem.  If you don't have the punch since it's retired, you just need to cut out a triangle.  The base is made with a strip of Garden Green card stock:  3 1/2" x 1" and scored at 1 1/4" from each end.


The JOY is from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and the paper is This is Christmas Specialty DSP.  Star is from Santa's Sleigh Thinlits.


 








Sneak Peek: Occasions Catalog - Dragonfly Dreams

I love playing with new stamp sets.  This is a sneak peek at the new stamp set Dragonfly Dreams and the coordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits from the Occasions Catalog coming out soon.

I used the new in colors Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum to make these cards.




I used the negative cut out to sponge the dragonfly image and then stamped with black on top of the image.
