Reindeer Poop

Merry Christmas Eve!

Today's our big celebration with our niece & nephew and their parents. Hubby & I always get them stockings and TONS of stocking stuffers. I saw this idea on Ronda Wade's page and thought it was so cute, but didn't have any candy to foot the bill - until I found the Reese's Pieces.

The Reese's I found wouldn't fit in the box Ronda used, so I had to change the design and make my own box. Viola! Cute huh?

I'm sure our nephew, Sam, is going to get a kick out of this!

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas Eve. I will be back tomorrow with a project because I made more Christmas cards than I got posted!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Off we go!

Teddy Bear Gift Bag

This gift bag was offered at the Stray Ducklings Peoria Stamp Fair. I saw it at my fellow duckling's (Debbie Kramer's) card class and just knew I wanted to offer it in my Christmas Card Class. It's cute and simple and whips together quickly. I just know that the recipient of Christmas gifts in this bag are going to love it this year!

I started with a plain white craft bag from Walmart. I added a piece of DSP from the Candy Cane Lane designer series pack, a strip of Real Red Cardstock that I snipped the ends off to form a banner, a delicate white doilies and a circle of the Candy Cane Lane DSP again. The bear was stamped in Chocolate Chip , punched out with the Cookie Cutter punch and adhered to the DSP decorated doily with our Stampin' Dimensionals. The finishing touch was the beary sentiment from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set punch out with the Duet Banner Punch and the Real Red Stitched Ribbon.

Et Viola! Super simple, but totally cute! :)

Merry Christmoose!

As I sit here typing this blogpost that will go live in the morning, my toothless, old, cataract-ridden Rat Terrier, Buster, just chased a possum off the porch! My heart did flip flops trying to catch up with him in the dark and make sure he didn't get himself hurt (or rabies!) Turns out Mr. Possum stopped next to the house & Buster kept going! All's well that ends well. Buster returned and the possum missed looking down the end of a 12-gauge since hubby couldn't find him when he went back out. 

Now that that drama is over, onto our next card :)

Merry Christmoose!

This is the 2nd card from last weeks class. I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and layered it with Candy Cane Lane DSP. I stamped "merry" with the Layered Letters Alphabet stamps. "Christmoose" was stamped using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set.  The moose was stamped from the Jolly Friends stamp set on Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake & fussy cut out. We cut the antlers off the Crumb cake, cut the Sahara Sand moose off underneath the eyes and adhered it to the back of the crumb cake piece so the antlers would be lighter than the head.

The hat pieces were punched with the Jolly hat builder punch in Real Red and Whisper White. We added Mica flakes on the hat brim with tombow glue and added the mini jingle bell at the tip with mini glue dots.

The finishing touch was the Candy Cane Lane baker's twine and the sentiment inside from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set.

I just love this moose :)

If you'd like to buy any of the items to make this card, I'd love to help you out. :)

Until tomorrow, Happy Stamping!

Gingerbread Cookie

Looky here, we have a cute Gingerbread Man fresh out of the oven. Why, he's still cooling on the cookie sheet! I just love this Cookie Cutter Christmas set!

The card base is Crumb Cake. It's layered with Real Red and Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP). The cookie sheet was made with our Foil Sheets and scored with the Stampin' Trimmer. The 'Tis the Season sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines Stamp Set. The gingerbread man is stamped and punched from the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle.

The peppermints are stamped from the Candy Cane Lane Christmas stamp set.

This is the first card from my Stamp-A-Stack class last week. I'll be sharing others in the days to come. Do you live in Central Illinois? If so, I'd love to have you join us for a class. We have tons of fun :) 

Stalled Rudolph

This is a card I designed and made for a challenge last month. Being a horse person, I know a little bit about stalls. It only seemed fitting that I built one for Rudolph ;) I'm just glad I don't have to muck Rudy's stall too! LOL

 I started by using the Hardwood background stamp on Sahara Sand CS. I cut the boards for his stall door, created a box with and x in the center and propped it up on some dimensionals. I stamped Rudy from the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle & heat embossed his nose with our new red glitter embossing powder after punching him out. I punched the sign from the decorative label punch and used the labeler alphabet stamps to spell out his name. I propped my stall front up on the Warmth & Cheer DSP. 

 The ridges on the stall topper were made with the Best Badge Punch. Then the topper was propped up with several dimensionals stacked on top of each other. I intertwined Kraft Rope Trim & Candy Cane Lane twine with a gingerbread Christmas Trinket and glued it to the stall door for a handle.

I am loving this new holiday catalog! If you don't have a demonstrator and need a catalog, please let me know. I'd love to be your demo! :)

I hope you enjoyed today's card share.

Happy Stamping!
