Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Memories of Christmas Past

December 4, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Happy day! Thanks for stopping by!

Our theme this month features Christmas Past.

I’ll interpret this to be something favorite of Christmas’ past. For me, that would be homemade ornaments.

I used to cross stitch all sort for the kids and their teachers. Mainly, stitching their names the way they wrote them at the time. Priceless looking back at them!

Today, I papercraft. So I made some paper crafted ornaments –

I used the Mason Jar Shaker Domes for these. I added a sweet little velvet house from the Home Together Dies. The plaid backer is from the Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

These were lots of fun to create. Simple too! Once I figured out how to make these, the other 2 came together in a snap! I’ll surely be making more!

Check the others out on out hop this month! I’m sure you will get some great ideas!

Ink. Stamp. Share. Christmas Tree Decoration

November 28, 2020 · 18 Comments

Hello! Welcome to my second blog hop for the day!

Our theme is Christmas decoration!

I created a sweet little ornament –

I used the Snow Globe Shaker Domes!

I’ve had a couple of friends and family get new houses this past year and this would make the perfect gift for them!

I used the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper for the background in my shaker.

I added a Red Velvet house from the Home Together Dies. The Green Foil die cut trees are from that same set as well.

To top it off, I added the number 2020 using the Playful Alphabet in Silver Foil.

The ‘snow’ came from Dollar Tree some years ago.

I had also made a coordination fancy fold card to go with the ornament.

The card I posted earlier in another blog hop. Check it out!

I love how I have a nice coordinating set to gift! Now, I need to make a couple more!

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features an over the top card!

I’m mostly a ‘clean & simple’ gal, so this was a bit of a challenge to create!

I created a fancy fold flip card –

And, as you open it –

Fully opened –

I started with playing around with the base, 5 1/2″ x 10, which I scored at 4″ and 7″.

I used a Rectangle Stitched Die to create the opening in the first scoreline for the flip die. I also used the same size die to cut the Red Velvet rectangle.

Here is the back of the card before I covered this –

You can see the front of the card and the houses and tree through card stock.

It is a very interactive card when opened!

Here is a sneak at a matching ornament I created as well. This will be featured on a later blog hop today.

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Home for the Holidays

November 7, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features Home for the Holidays.

I played around with a few different things to create this –

I stamped the house from the Coming Home stamp set, coloring it with Blends. I used the Home Together Dies to cut it out.

I also used the same dies to cut the trees and rolling hills. On one of the strips, I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals. I layered the strips adding the tree in the middle.

Behind that scene, I used the star pattern from the Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

All was placed on a frame of Sahara Sand. I added a piece of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim and a bow to complete the card.

So sweet!

Hearts Come Home

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

And, here is what I created using it –

Super cute! And, no stamping at all!

I used the Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper for just about everything here!

I started with a large people panel on the front. Looking closely, the people are really cute!

I die cut a house from one of the pages and the coordinating dies. The sentiment is a printed page of strips, also from the paper!

It just comes together soo well!

From Our Home To Yours

September 10, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

What a fun and creative layout!

Looking through my pattern papers, I stopped at the Trimming The Town Designer Series paper. I knew right away what I wanted to do with the layout –

I was really drawn to these houses. I die cut three out from the paper and placed them on more paper. And those were placed on even more paper! Then I added the two strips of a blue pattern from the same pack.

Lastly, the sentiment was also, paper! One of the patterns is all sentiments in different languages! So cool.

I hope my all paper card has inspired you. I can be done!
