Snow Globe

I used the snow globe die from Memory Box. I also added Dazzling Diamond to the image and then covered it with an acetate circle to look like glass and then popped up on dimensionals.
SU supplies of Baja Breeze cardstock, white satin ribbon, Pine Bough wheel embossed in white, glitter paper for sentiment frame.

Snow Much Fun

All supplies are Stampin' Up except for Nestabilities frame. Snow Much Fun snowman, various designer papers, snowflake wheel embossed in white on Sahara Sand. Half pearls to embellish, Bashful Blue taffeta ribbon, SU snowflake from new glitter paper.

Christmas Tag Keeper

All supplies are Stampin' Up. I used a 6"x6" scrapbook page holder for the "envelope" and made up 16 various tags and labels from Tags For Christmas.
You can find it at Etsy also

Gift Tag Bag

I started out making a gift tag which turned into a bag. I used the Sizzix bag with scallops die in Whisper White, Jolliest Time of the Year Santa and peppermint patties in a cello bag. Red twine tied to close. Applied gold Smooch accent ink to belt.

Jolliest Ornament

All supplies are Stampin' Up (except for ornament die): Jolliest Time of the Year stamp set colored in markers, Lattice Squares embossing folder with retired Beachfront ruffled ribbon and half pearls. Quick and easy!

Pines and Poinsettias

New Pines & Poinsettias stamp set on Old Olive base with Regal Rose lace ribbon border and Riding Hood Red strip. Nestabilities ornament die.

Medallion Christmas

Baja Breeze cardstock, Medallion and Four Frames stamps embossed in silver, baja seam binding ribbon and Ice rhinestone brad to embellish.
This was inspired by Trish on SCS for the Queen for the Day challenge.

Holiday Stocking

The new Stampin' Up holiday mini is almost here and has some really wonderful new things for the fall and winter holidays. This is the Sizzix Bigz Holiday Stocking die and is a cinch to make things with. This one will be used as an ornament so I added a gold cord hanger. I embossed the Garden Green cardstock with the Petals-a-Plenty folder and added the accent pieces cut from the new Holly Berry Bouquet paper. Lace is non SU but I thought it was a cute addition.
For the poinsettia I cut three flowers from the Birds & Blooms large flower embosslit Sizzix die in Real Red and snipped between each petal. Then you put it on your foam paper piercing mat and press down in the center with the fat end of the Impressor stylus. This curves the petals upward. I used a thin embossing stylus to etch some lines into the petals to make it look a bit more realistic. Added some beads and Dazzling Diamonds to the center.

Holiday Stocking die

This is the new (and pretty awesome) Holiday Stocking Bigz die by Sizzix/Stampin' Up that will be available in the upcoming mini (September 1). I cut two out of Whisper White and will use the extra cuff, toe and heel pieces in another project. Stamped with the Bells and Boughs set, colored in markers. Embossed accent pieces with Lattice Squares folder. Stitched two stocking pieces together with red baker's twine. This will be used for a gift card holder.

New~ Snow Much Fun

I know it is early to be thinking about Christmas but I couldn't resist getting this new set from Stampin' Up called Snow Much Fun. I colored it in Copic markers, used Cherry Cobbler and Basic Gray cardstocks with Paisley Petals paper. Also used brights buttons and brads, cherry baker's twine, lattice squares embossing folder and a scallop border punch.

Holiday Humor

This is a card I made a couple of years ago when this set first came out. I know it's just plain wrong but I couldn't help myself! All supplies are Stampin' Up, the set is Winter Post and To You And Yours. Hope it makes you smile.

O Christmas Tree

What a fun inspiration site for Christmas on SCS today!
I used the lovely set from Mark's Finest Papers called A Walk In The Woods, covering the tree in Christmas Tree Flower Soft. Paper is Basic Grey Figgy, cardstocks and charm also by MFP.

Holiday Gift Tags

For these tags I used one sheet of Whisper White and one sheet of Real Red (plus a couple of small scraps). To make it easy I used just red and black ink and some Christmas stamps I had in my holiday pile on my desk. You can always use some extra tags, right? All supplies are Stampin' Up except for baker's twine.

Today's SCS Color Challenge

The Splitcoast colors for Tuesday's challenge are Old Olive, River Rock, and Real Red with the neutral of your choice. The dessert option is to make it a Christmas card which should be easy to do with these colors. I made two samples, my first one uses all Stampin' Up. The stamp set is The World Over with some retired designer paper.
The second uses Mark's Finest Papers Greetings Of The Season with a bit of a different color cardinal than the traditional red. I did it in this color so I could fit in with Mothermark's gold finch in the teapot challenge also. More SU designer paper and the Merry Christmas tag sentiment is from the set Holiday Best by SU.

and Warm Glitter Mittens

I used retired SU paper Ski Slope, textured Whisper White cardstock and the sentiment from It's Snow Time in Real Red. Mittens and baker's twine from Impress. Pinking Hearts border punch by Stampin' Up. A clean and simple 10 minute card.

Plum Poinsettias

This week's Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is to use Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz, and Baja Breeze with your choice of a neutral. The dessert option is to add a pennant/banner if that is something you would like to try.
My card used Stampin' Up supplies of the above cardstocks with the holly bough stamped in matching ink on the Plum, retired Autumn something paper, white taffeta ribbon and coloring in markers. I don't know if there is such a thing as purple poinsettias but I wanted to make a Christmas card with something current for this challenge. Pear frame is the Lacy Square Nestabilities.

Bella Toile Christmas

Today's color challenge calls for Poppy Parade, Tempting Turquoise, and White. I gold embossed the Bella Toile image and colored it with these colors and a bit of lime green. Dry embossed the Poppy panel with the Elegant Line folder, embossed sentiment from Bells & Boughs in gold. The ornament is from this week's Holiday Blitz to make a magnet (Technique is in Resources section). I embossed this in gold, colored it with Copics, added Dazzling Diamonds and Crystal Effects. My ornament can be removed from the card and used as an ornament and also has a magnet on the back. Added turquoise grosgrain ribbon, gold cording and mini pearls to frame. Sketch is Mojo164.

Vintage Bells & Boughs

For a vintage looking Christmas card I used the new Deck The Halls paper and Bells & Boughs stamp set by Stampin' Up. Shaded image in chalk pastels.
Artichoke (card base) and True Thyme was used for the Music Notes wheel and the shaded edges. Riding Hood Red for matting. Chantilly Lace and half pearl for embellishing. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Season Of Joy

A color challenge card for the Hope You Can Cling To cards for cancer card drive. I had hoped to participate in all of the challenges but the days of October really got away from me.
This card uses all Stampin' Up supplies~ Candy Cane Christmas paper with the Season Of Joy stamp set, white taffeta ribbon, and pinking hearts border punch. I used Cool Caribbean cardstock but you could swap it out for Baja Breeze if you want to stay with current products. The challenge called for aqua so this choice worked better for me. I added a bit of fine green glitter to the tree. The sentiment Celebrate seems to work better with a bit of sparkle :)

Shaker Framed Cardinal

Christmas Coundown project #9!
I started with a frame cut from a rectangle scallop Nestability and then decided to make it into a shaker card filled with clear microbeads.
The cardinal image is from the set Greetings Of The Season by Mark's Finest Papers colored in Copic markers and shaded with chalk pastels.
The paper is by SU Deck The Halls. Cherry Cobbler ribbon with a double bow.
