White Elephant Christmas ...

We had a white elephant lunch at work with our department. To participate, we had to have a gift card and an ornament. I made this ornament and a framed paper pieced Christmas Tree which I forgot to take a photo of.

Even this is not a great photo because you can' see the glitter glue I added to the bottom.

The little clip board came from The Dollar Tree. I just added the snow peeples and ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Framed Santa ...

Hello!

I have the super cute die Memory Box called Jolly Old Santa. Some paper scraps and a “wood” frame from The Dollar Tree and I have a cute decoration for my desk at work!

Christmas Tags

I started a new job this past March with a local School District as a Buyer. It’s been an interesting adventure after having worked in Aerospace for well over 30 years. I love it though and while it is serious stuff it’s a much more stress free atmosphere!

We had so many events this Holiday Season one of which was a Secret Santa event that I decided to participate in. I had so much fun picking out and making gifts for my person.

They do set a price target but let’s be real. It’s hard to stay within what they recommend given the cost of anything these days. So I decided to see that I could make to go along with the items I selected.

I was pawing through a bin of items looking for something I could use when I found a set of stars that I had bought from the Dollar Tree who knows when!

Perfect gift tags!

I found a star die that was just a tag larger than the wood stars, so I cut out 4 pieces from white glitter paper. I removed the twine and lined one up for the hole and punched them all to match. After stamping the backside with a to & from and glued to the back of the wood star so the glitter side would show through. Then I added rhinestones to add some sparkle.

Retreaded them with the twine and packaged them up nice and neat to add to the basket I had created with some treats.

These came out so nice, I’m think I will have so watch for more stars and make some for myself!

Thanks for Stopping By,
Cara

Welcome to 2025!!!

Good Afternoon and Happy New Year.

Welcome to 2025 and once again, I am running way late getting my card for The Outlawz January 2025 Sketch Challenge!

2024 has been crazy for me – so many life changes. Adjusting to life as a non-married person. Selling my home of 23 years and relocating to an unfamiliar area and having to learn where everything is and all the stuff that goes along with that. Interviewing and accepting a new job after being retired for 6 years.

I am staying blissfully positive that 2025 will be an amazing year for me and I hope it is for you as well!

Our challenge this month (located HERE) is being sponsored by Anne’s Digital Arts (located HERE).

This month we are asking you to use a circle with a twist of cute.

The image I chose is not necessarily “cute”, but I thought the design paper would help with that as I love the colorful polka dots. Kinda of reminded me of Christmas lights! My favorite color! LOL

I colored with image with some new alcohol markers I bought at a pretty good price at a discount department store. They are from the Creative Expert, 128 markers which also came in a nice carry case. I did have to use a couple of Copic colors as well since they were colors not in the CW set.

They aren’t bad. The fine tips are not so fine so it was a bit difficult to work in some of the smaller areas of the image, but I made it work.

Sketch used: SSC 617

Supplies: 5 x 7 card

• Image from Anne’s Digital Art (Christmas Grape Vine Wreath) printed on Hammermill Color Copy
• Alcohol Markers from Creative Expert and Copics
• Cardstock from the Paper Studio (base)
• Design Paper from Echo Park (Santa Claus Lane)
• Dies from Sizzix (Classic Circles)
• Embossing Folder from Spellbinders (Holly Flourish)
• Ink from Tsukineko
• Sequins from my Stash
• Sketch from Split Coast Stampers SCC617
• Stamp from Close to My Heart (Mistle Kisses)

Magical Re-make

Good morning,

Card companies pay designers to create beautiful cards using amazing imagery and colors. It heartbreaking to see these cards tossed in the trash so I like to try and re-use them to create new cards or gift tags. I hope this post inspires you to re-think ways to recycle and reuse those beautiful cards you receive, regardless of season!

I am still going through a box of old Christmas cards I received from the last several Christmas’s. I will apologize in advance; I had planned to take pictures of the card before I start dismantling it but totally spaced so I have no before pictures. I really need to get better at that!

Anyway …

I loved this Christmas card from the moment I saw it. It was so festive and magical looking with the achromatic and foggy background and those pops of foiled red and green!

When trying to decide if I wanted to make into Christmas tags or a card, I remembered a set of stamps I had from Echo Park that would be perfect so a card it became.

Since the card was bigger than an A2 but small that a 5 x 7 I decided to trim up and bit then cut into strips. The sentiment was then stamped onto vellum and laid over the top so you can still see the colors underneath which I think is a perfect complement to that foggy looking backdrop of the trees.

 

Supplies

• Christmas card
• Ink from Tsukineko (VersaClaire Fine)
• Rhinestones from my Stash
• Sentiment stamp from Echo Park (Christmas Sentiments)
• Vellum from Stampin Up!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper quilts

Good morning,

My son-in-law has a mother that quilts. Beautiful quilts and she blessed me with one a couple years ago that I absolutely love.

I was thinking of what to get her this year when I decided to make her a set of seasonal quilt pieces for her quilting room only, I would make mine out of paper instead of fabric.

The four pictures represent Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. It was a lot of die cutting and gluing but these turned out amazing and I know she’s going to love them.

WINTER

SPRING

SUMMER

FALL

I methodically wrote down every die I used, the cardstocks and design papers I used and I can’t find it anywhere so I’m betting it got caught up in some tossed scraps when I was cleaning off my work table. Don’t you hate it when that happens??? Anyway, I spent some time going back through everything and I think I got most, if not all of what I used.

Supplies for 10 x 10 pictures

• Frames purchased from Heart Art via Amazon
• Embossing folders: Cuttlebug (Spring set); Gina K Designs (Falling Leaves); Sizzix (Airplane & dotted lines set); Sizzix (Snow & tree set)
• Cardstock: The Paper Studio
• Design Papers are all from Honeybee Stamps: Beach vibes; Great outdoors; Hot tropics; Hugs & kisses; Over the Rainbow
• Dies are all from Gina Marie Designs: #1 quilt; #10, Hexagon center; #11, Arrows & squares; #12, Blocks & lines; #14, Triangle me happy; #18, Patchwork; #19, Compass star; #2 quilt; #3, flower burst; #4, Circles; #5 quilt; #8 quilt; Diamond drop quilt; Leaf quilt; Pumpkin quilt; Spring flower quilt

December Birthday, one of several!

Good morning,

Being a December birthday baby (elose to Christmas) myself, my mom always kept the two separate and enforced that rule with family as well however, I attended a early December birthday where the child requested a Christmas themed birthday party.

Not going to lie, it felt a bit awkward trying to figure and then make a Christmasy birthday card and honestly it just looks more like winter but it was well received and that’s what is important. 

I purchased the image lasy yea but this is the fist time I've used it.

The layout of the card is based on a sketch from Scrapbook + cards found HERE

Growing in Unity 2023, Day 5

'T is Christmas morn! Awake! Awake!

The slumber from thine eyelids shake!...

No such delight through all the year

As comes with Santa's Christmas cheer.

~James Henry Potts, "Old Santa," Every Life a Delight, 1914

Good morning!

This is my day 5 and final post as a Unity Gal for 2023! Always a bit sad to have my time come to and end but I am ever so grateful for the opportunity to promote Unity Stamp Company and their amazing line of stamps & products. There will be plenty more talented people throughout the rest of 2023 who will also be sharing their Unity cards & projects for you so make sure you are following Unity Stamps on FaceBook so you don’t miss out on a single post!

Please remember to comment on my posts each day as I will be selecting two people to receive a $20 credit to the store!

Today’s card uses another stamp & stencil set called Vintage Poinsettia … which is the last of my three favorite flowers. This one is stunning and again, the stencils are numbered and make it so easy to color and highlight the stamped image! Sadly, there is no die for the image so I fussy cut it out as my Brothers S&C is inaccessible right now.

I’m think though that I need to make a layered version!

Supplies, card size: 5 x 7
Unity Stamp & Stencil set, Vintage Poinsettia
Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) & Hammermill Color Copy
