Merry Christmas!


MERRY CHRISTMAS!







A Christmas Poem

**Twas the Night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or inkpads or lace?
Or some stamps, I said, with a smile on my face.

And that's when I heard him....

"Hi Santa", I said
He replies, "You know....good girls should be in their beds".
"I know I should Santa, and now I've been caught!
But I was just so excited to see what you brought".

"Well, let's take a look in this room where you work".
He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.

I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear.
"You've got enough Crap,
I'll see you Next Year!"

Have a Very, Merry Christmas to All my Stampin' Friends!

Festive & Fun


This card really is just like it's name - - Festive & Fun!

It's rather simple....the image is stamped in Old Olive and colored in using our Stampin' Write Markers in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler with just a hint of Garden Green here and there...and the white stripes of the Candy Cane are coated with Dazzling Details for an added bit of sparkle.

The Fun part of this Festive card is I added a shaker frame!  The smallest shaker frame fits the wreath on this set perfectly and I stamped it twice and punched it out with the 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch circle punches and colored it in to match the rest.

For an added touch I tried my hand at adding color to the mica flakes that I filled the shaker frame.  Coloring your Mica Flakes is actually quite easy...but it's time consuming - - it takes at least 24 hours to dry!

Here's a quick step by step for you:

Supplies:

Mica Flakes
2 Ziplock Bags
Water
ReInker

Mix 2-3 drops of reinker with about ½ teaspoon of water.
Add about 2 Tablespoons of Mica Flakes to mixture.
You need to have more Flakes than water.
Mix Flakes with die mixture. You should have very little to no liquid left in your baggie.  Use your fingers to work the flakes around to absorb your liquid. 
Using a toothpick, spread your Mica Flakes out on another baggie or wax paper. Use a toothpick to separate.

Let dry overnight.


Happy Stampin'

Delightful Decorations


This is a fun and sparkly card....very cute in person ;)

It's a little hard to tell, but the ornaments are inked up with Champagne Shimmer Paint using a sponge dauber and then punched out using the Ornament punch.  I love my shimmer paint...I use it often and finally, after 2 years, used up one of the teeny tiny bottles.  I was shocked to see it was completely empty when I went to use it!

The little ornaments are rolled across the vanilla and the navy card stock using the Sparkle and Shine Jumbo wheel...another quick and easy tool for making Holiday cards.

A little ruffle of waffle paper and brushed gold paper peeking from underneath and viola! 
All finished...


Happy Stampin'
