Holiday Open House

So today's the big day .. my Holiday Open House ... all the cardstock is cut, stamps laid out, Christmas decorations up, and Christmas music playing in the background ...........

These are all of the projects!
Attendees can make all of these for $10 or FREE with a $30 purchase.

I wish all of my blog friends could be here ... (it's going to be my best one yet) .... I love love love my projects that we are doing today.

Since you guys can't be here :( I have decided to give away 2 sets of the projects plus 2 sets of the instructions to all of the projects .... all you need to do is comment on this post. Even you lurkers should comment!!! I am drawing the winner tonight!!!



The thing that I love about my open houses is that they are self-paced. People move throughout my 1st floor making the projects at the different stations. I have directions made up at each station and they are put in a frame.

Some stations you sit ... some stations you stand.

I walk around helping people, answer any questions, and help people with their orders.

Should be a VERY fun event!

ENJOY!

Dotted Holiday

Happy Holidays

Here is another card from my Holiday Open House (which is tomorrow!)

For this card I stamped the GWP Dots from the Fall Supplement 4 times in green and 4 times in red and punched them out with a square punch. I sponged the edges of each one. Do you know that right now you can get this GWP or our PWPs (2 of them) FREE with and $30 order!!!

I arranged them on a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" black square.

Then I stamped the Fabulous Frame and sentiment from Thinking of You. I then cut out with Labels 1 nestability and then inked the edges. I mounted that on a larger nestability and then pop-dotted it up off the background. I mounted the whole thing on a 5" x 5" white base and added the black gems.

ENJOY!

This card is made from the SOTM "Oh Happy Day" - which makes me chuckle every time I think of it! I colored him with copics. I added the sentiment and viola ... simple, easy, and cute! I recently had to make 16 of these for my stamp clubs orders.

It must be my customer service skills, but I love to give all of my customers a handmade thank you card with their order .. and this was the recent batch that I made.

Tag You're It

Paper Wings is a great community site devoted to The Angel Company.
Today they are sponsoring a blog hop called Tag You're It and the idea is to use a tag or make a tag and have it be the focal part of your creation.


Peace, Love, Joy

For my card I wanted to use 2 "tag" sets by The Angel Company ... so I choose to use Winter Tags and Tag Tidbits.

I colored the reindeers with my copics and added an eyelet and metallic string to each one. I pop-dotted them on the card and added "peace, love, joy".

I then randomly stamped "peace, love, joy" on the white strip and added more of the metallic string.

Did you notice the background paper? It is called Robyn and it's a new download available now at The Angel Company ... and the best part ... it's FREE

Thanks for stopping by ... Please visit the others in this hop below ...
ENJOY!

Warm Winter Wishes

Snowman

I love this snowman in TAC's set called Jingle Jolly! I colored him with my copics and then came up with this great layout to accompany him!

I ran the white cardstock through my Sizzix and the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder. The large snowflake is a Sizzix die. I cut the snowflake out of white card stock and then a sponged it with Reflection Blue Palette ink.

I added the sentiment from Cuddly Christmas and the button.

Was a simple, easy, and cute card to create!

I am entering him today on the One Stop Craft Challenge blog where they challenged people to post snowpeople cards. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a sucker for a cute snowman and a cute snowman card --- so this was right up my alley!

ENJOY!

TAC-niques

Clear on Clear Embossing

A few months back I participated in a technique swap with 68 or so other angels. We each had to choose a technique and then made 68 card fronts using that technique. We got full instructions how each technique was done and I have organized mine all in a binder. It was truly a wonderful swap and I can't wait to try out all of the techniques!!!

For my Technique I chose Clear on Clear Embossing ... I used kraft card stock and used Blossoms and Blessings for the stamped images. I used Versamark ink with clear embossing powder. I left an area free for the sentiment and I punched holes and threaded scrappers floss through. I used the ScorPal to make lines and then matted everything on black cardstock.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Report!

Today is my Dad's birthday ... Happy Birthday Dad! It's been a rough roller coaster of a year for him health wise and he always likes a card that makes him laugh.

The problem for me is that I like to make cards, but I am not very good at masculine cards and also not very good at funny cards ... so marrying the 2 ... UGH!

So I used Laugh Lines in this card ... front and inside. I also used my Fabulous Frames set. I made the "report" and pop-dotted it in the frame.


Here was the inside of the card.

Sure hope he likes it and gets a laugh!

ENJOY!

You're Angelic!

Angel Kitty

I loved this new angel from the moment that I saw her in the new Fall Supplement. It's from the set Fibi & Lili Christmas as well as the sentiment. It is a Mabelle R.O. original. I love her!

I colored the image with my copics. I put the cat in this nestability and then mounted it on another nestie! I added ribbon and pop-dotted the sentiment.

I am totally getting ready for the Holiday!

ENJOY!

Havin' A Ball

With Gumballs

Last weekend for my stamp club we made these gumball holders. This set and this sentiment is just PERFECT for gumballs! The set is called Havin' A Ball.

We colored him with copics and mounted him on a scalloped circle ..... both of which we punched. The bags are from Clear Bags ... they are 1 x 8 and hold 13 gumballs. They also could hold M&Ms, gum drops, Reese's pieces, almond joy pieces ... or just about anything else small that you can think of!

My stamp club just loved them ... thought of all kinds of fun things to do with them and we placed an order of 1,600 of them for everyone!

Hope you have fun making cute little treat holders this holiday season!

ENJOY!

Happiness!!!

Sunshine!

We all need a little sunshine in our lives!

I have been so excited to ink this new sunflower up from the Sunshine set from TAC. I did that with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored it with copics.

Did you see the patterned paper that I used? It uses new DOWNLOADABLE paper that TAC now has on their website called Robyn. Get it HERE! and the best part .... it's FREE to download!

I sponged all of the edges with Cognac Palette ink. I then added ribbon and pop-dotted the sentiments!
ENJOY!

Deck the Halls Blog Hop - The Angel Company


Today The Angel Company is sponsoring a blog hop with a Christmas/Holiday theme.
I made a step card a few weeks ago that I just loved and I modified it a little for this blog hop.


Santa and his 9 Reindeer

Here is the card closed. I used the Jingle Jolly set. I stamped 9 of the reindeers and colored them with my copics. I put a gem on the front one and colored it red for Rudolph. I stamped Santa and colored him too.

I free-form cut the snow hills and then randomly placed the reindeers on the card.

I added the sentiment from Thinking of You.


Here is the card opened up.

Here is the card from the side.

Look below for thumbnails of other Christmas Holiday projects that will hopefully inspire you!

ENJOY!
Thanks for Stopping by!

ATCs

While at Shackapalooza this weekend I took the time to make a few ATCs for swaps that I am in.



Welcome

I made this ATC for a birdhouse swap that I am in. It uses the birdhouse from Springtime Garden. I colored it with copics and then sponged the sky blue and bottom brown. The sentiment is from the You Whoo set.


Frogs

I absolutely love this leaping frog from the Joy Found set. The cattails are also from the Joy Found set. The sentiment is from the Oh Happy Day set (SOTM this month). The background is sponged and the frog is paper-pieced to give it some dimenesion.

Cocoa

This is a clean and simple ATC for Cocoa. I used the mug from the Skinny Birds set and colored it with my copics. (the sentiment is not from TAC ... sorry! .... it was perfect though!)

ENJOY!

Unfortunately my fun ends today ... and I have to drive Home!

Other Uses for an Embossing Gun

I am vacationing this weekend with my Stamp Shack friends at The Potawatomi Inn in Angola, IN. They always have a campfire and we normally have s'mores. This year it was raining and we were bound and determined to still have s'mores ... I suggested using the heat gun that we brought to emboss.

Here is the video of Angie and Sherri roasting the marshmallows via the heat gun! ... the crafty way!




ENJOY!
