Black and White Santa's Sleigh

This black and white Santa's Sleigh card is a nice twist on the usual red and green Christmas cards.  The black sleigh works nicely against the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper. DSP strip measures 2" x 5 1/2" and layered against a 2 1/4" x 5 1/2" Basic Black cardstock.

Alter It Thursday: Keurig Snowman Hat Ornament

I love it when you can take an ordinary household item and alter it into a cute craft item.  I used an empty Keurig cup to make this adorable Snowman Hat Ornament.  Basically I added ribbon and dressing and glued the empty Keurig cup onto a 3" black circle.  Stampers don't throw anything away.

Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper Birthday Card

How beautiful is the Stampin' Up! Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper from the new 2018 Occasions Catalog.  I love the abstract painted designs with gold mixed into the pattern. The Painted with Love Specialty DSP is well complimented against the Calypso Coral cardstock.  Reminds me of a pretty sunset.

More cards I made with my 4x4 Designer Series Paper scraps.  These scraps were retired Christmas paper squares from a recent meeting where we did a "DSP paper share" project. I couldn't bare to throw them away... so I made these quick Christmas cards for my Mom to use.
