Be Merry Card
Hi everyone! I back with a Christmas card I had created this past Summer…I have shared these sporadically the last couple of month…and this is the last of that batch. I am sure I will be creating more later on.
I folded a 6″x6″ piece of cardstock from the Lost and Found Christmas Collection from My Mind’s Eye in half to create a base for my card. I cut a piece of gold glitter cardstock to frame the Scalloped Rectangle from Spellbinders and adhered to the front of the card.
The “M” I found at Hobby Lobby on clearance. I painted it white and once dry applied adhesive and sprinkled with glitter.
I cut Be Merry from the same paper collection, punched two small holly leaves which I shaped and adhered to the bottom corner of the “M”. I finished the card off with a little red gem.
As always if you have any questions about this project please let me know.
Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is awesome and enjoy creating!
Rustic Christmas Stocking
Hi everyone! Canvas Corp and Petaloo Flowers are blog hopping together and I want to share a project I created using the Large Burlap Stocking and Petaloo DIY Burlap Flowers which can be painted or misted to compliment your projects. I don’t own a sewing machine and I sure didn’t want to hand sew everything to the stocking so I used Beacon Adhesives Fabri-Tac. It “grabs” fast and dries quick which I love!
I started by adding from my own stash green Ric Rac and red pom poms to the cuff of the stocking.
Now it is finished and ready for Santa to fill with goodies. If you do have any questions about this project please let me know.
Be sure to hop over the Canvas Corp’s blog HERE to see other decorated stockings for a chance to win up to eight stockings to decorate for your own family. Also hop on over to Petaloo blog HERE for a chance to win a prize package to make your holiday merry!
Thanks for stopping by, hope your Thursday is awesome and enjoy creating!
Dragons Lair Den: Jolly Ole St Nick Journal
Hi everyone! It’s me and I’m here to share my last post with Dragons Lair Den. I am thankful for the time I have been on the design team and being able to share a little bit of my take on DLD printables.
I created this mini Santa journal from a file folder which I cutdown and the finished size is a 3 1/2″x5″ and that measures from the “creases” or three folds in the file folder.
I cut twenty sheets of notebook paper to fit the inside of the journal. Once folded in half I sewed the pages and tied off on the outside of the spine. I added fiber and ribbon also to make it more festive.
From the same Victorian Christmas Collection-Card Papers I printed off a burgundy sheet and cut it down to make an inside pocket. I added from the Vintage Santa Card Kit a label and flower to finish it off.
There you have it a simple little journal that can be used to jot down notes, keep up with receipts or whatever else you can think of. 🙂 Please be sure to check out the Dragons Lair Den for these printables and more. If you have any questions please let me know.
What is in your stocking?
Hi everyone! I’m here to share an ornament I had actually started last Christmas but with all the craziness and such that normally goes on around this time of year I didn’t finish it. Well I did get a complete of photos of me starting the process though. 🙂
I added a mini bottle brush tree, along with bells, pearl sprays and miniature Christmas lights.
I finished off with a little gold trim and a holly leaf.
Don’t you think it looks lovely on my four foot tinsel tree I got for 66% off at Hobby Lobby last year. It was a floor model and pre-lit. It reminds me of my great grandmother’s tinsel tree but hers had a color wheel with it. I remember sitting at her house at Christmas time watching the tree turn different colors…such great memories. 🙂

S is for Santa
Hi everyone! I’m here to share my altered matchbox using the Robin’s Nest Christmas Collection for the Robin’s Nest “Christmas Blog Hop” linky party which is going on today.
For my project I altered a 300 count matchbox. I covered it with Cindy Lou Swirl Glitter Cardstock.
I printed the “Santa” image from a digital sheet I purchased from Pink Paislee. I inked the edges of the image and adhered it to a piece of red cardstock.
I added bits of tulle, ribbon, holly and twine decoration to the top of the box. I finished off with some buttons and Christmas Dew Drops.
The “drawer” I added a pull to make it easier to open.
I filled the inside with crafty bits of fun for my friend to use in some of her many craft projects.
If you have any questions about this project please let me know.
Also I am entering this in the Ellen Hull’s Art with Heart Challenge.
Holly and Gingerbread Men
Hi there! I’m here to share a really quick project I created using the Bigz XL Matchbox diecut which I had got several years ago from Stampin’ Up! As you can tell I’ve been on a matchbox kick. 🙂 I love decorating and filling them with crafty goodies.
This one though I plan on filling with candy and adding it with other gifts for Christmas. I haven’t decided if it will be a stocking or what yet. Last year’s gifts I stuffed gloves with goodies and the year before that was oven mitts. I like things that can be used afterwards instead of being put away until the next Christmas. 🙂
Also I am submitting this project for Eileen Hull’s November’s Art with Heart: Favorite Recipes Challenge.
Santa’s Workshop
Hi everyone! I’m here to share a project I created for a swap I am in over on Swap-bot. For this swap we had to alter a 32 count matchbox with a Christmas theme and fill it with goodies.
I used the Cindy Lou Swirl Glitter Cardstock to cover inside and out the surfaces of the matchbox.
I also used one of the Santa tickets from the Merry Christmas Digital Collage Ticket Sheet from the Cameo Shoppe. All digital images are 75% off through the 28th of November. Now would be a great time to stock up on images for upcoming projects.
This is all of the little bits and pieces of goodies I stuffed into this little matchbox.
It’s hard to believe I was able to stuff all of that into this little bitty matchbox but I did…here’s the proof 🙂 I hope my swap partner likes with I put together for her. 🙂
If you have any questions please let me know.
