Favorite card tonight

So this is my favorite card that I did tonight. Love the background harmonie paper, the glitter paper under the sentiment and all the sparkly goodness of the card. I embossed the greeting in a glitter/gold embossing powder. Used the northern flurry snowflake die cut by Stampin up. A quick card, but I think it's so beautiful.

Peel off Ornaments and lots of glitter ritz!

This card is so sparkly it was hard to get my camera to focus!! Love this shade of glitter, it was a little tricky to get the ornament to lie in the exact shape it came in on the sheet, so I messed up a few places when adding the inside pieces! Still looks pretty in person though.

Hot chocolate card


Yet another Christmas card, I've been filling them out all afternoon. Now, there are none left and 14 still on my list. So the end is near, I can get those 14 done in the next couple of days. In the meantime, here is a stamp I bought 1 year ago and inked it for the first time last night. I used liquid applique on the marshmallows, and glossy accents on the heart.

Taylored expressions coffee mug

Here is another little xmas card (again I made 4 at the same time!). This image is by Taylored Expressions, from the set Sprinkled with Love. I stamped the image on a piece of SU patterned paper and cut it out. I used liquid appliqué for the foam on the cocoa.

SSSC95 Sweetest thing

So now the rush is on to make some Christmas cards! I sat in my craft room today and made 4 of these. It's an older Artful Stamper image that I've always liked. I embossed in gold, then painted with twinkling H2O's. It's been a long time since I've just used cardstock and not any patterned paper on a card. I quite like the simplicity of this one. I used a sketch from The Sweetest Thing blog.

Pam's apron


Here is yet another apron that I made for my sister in law, Pam. She'll get this from my brother Steve for Christmas. I can't believe I actually have this done so far ahead of Christmas! Yeah, me! The blue fabric is Hunky Dory by Moda, I can't remember what fabric the orange side is. Anyhow, have a good night.

Claire's coloring wallet



I've finished the wallet for Claire now as well. I think I'll add some mini gel pens to the center pocket on both hers and Charlotte's. I changed the closure as well. Charlotte's is a button with an elastic, but for this one I decided to make a velcro closure, and then just sewed a crocheted flower on top to hide the stitching from the velcro. I think I prefer the wallet with this type of closure.

I matched pacific point blue with white and I love the crispness of these 2 colors. I embossed it in gold and colored with the blue marker. Then lots of gold liquid pearl accents.

A cute Christmas

Today, I did a class at the house where everyone made 10 xmas cards. I had 10 stations set up, and everyone went around and did the cards. Now I can share them on the blog, most of my girls don't want to see the cards before they come to make them, they like to be surprised! Here is the tree stamp from the Stampin Up! set A Cute Christmas that is featured in the mini right now.
