Santa Coaster

I have wanted to put these two images together for a long time, and finally got it done today! How do you like my new Coaster?

Supplies:Jolly Old Saint Nick and Just Believe Stamp Sets; Black StazOn Ink; Red Sharpie Marker; Clear Gloss Krylon Spray; and a 4" white tile.

Isn't this a cute card? I was so disappointed a few years ago when my favorite Christmas stamp set, which had mittens in it, retired. Well, I am happy again! I got the idea for these mittens from our Stampin'Up! Demonstrator site and they are really easy to make using our Wide Oval and Small Oval punches. Just cut a strip of designer paper for the cuff ( I used the retired paper Tropical Party), add some silver tinsel from the Mini Catalogue, Real Red Grosgrain to hang them, and a few white stitches with a White Signo Gel Pen and you have a pair of mittens! I attached them to a Tempting Turquoise card which I ran through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurries Embossing Folder, and used the new set Bright Christmas for the greeting, also from the Mini Catalogue.

Having my Halloween class last night put me in the mood! I made this quick and easy candle cover in no time with the Fancy Favor die and the Big Shot to cut out the box. I then punched a 2 1/2" circle out of the front, attached some vellum that I colored with Daffodil Delight ink inside. Then I used the Owl Punch, the Bird Punch for the Branch, and witch hat is from the stamp set Wicked Cool. Drop a small candle in and it's ready to glow!

I know that I have been MIA for a while! Life seemed to get extremely hectic for a while and then I was away for a bit of a vacation.


Today's card is just a quick card that I have been wanting to make for a while. I will share the technique used for this card once all of my clubs have learned it! For those of you who have already had their club night, you will know which technique this is. What do you think? I love the effect. The colors used were Very Vanilla and Soft Suede and the brad in the center is one of the gorgeous new Vintage Brads

Isn't this a lovely card? It was made by a fellow demonstrator Michelle Sturgeon using some of the products from the Holiday Mini. I like how she used Tangerine Tango with Cherry Cobbler. I have never used these colors together but now definitely will!
