JOY TO YOU

Hi Stampers!

In addition to making cards, I enjoy making gifts and decor.  Banners are very much in this year, and here is one celebrating the joy of the season.

My crafting buddy, the Big Shot, made this project a snap.

You will also need:
Be of Good Cheer designer series paper,
Very Vanilla, Gumball Green, and Champagne Glimmer card stock
Broadsheet Alphabet stamp set
Cherry Cobbler ink pad
Perfect Pennants Bigz L die
2-3/8" Scallop Circle, 1-3/8" Circle, and 1-3/4" Circle, 1/16" Circle punches
Cherry Cobbler or Whisper White Baker's Twine
Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon
(a needle is also helpful to string the pieces together)

My little banner looks super cute on the dry-erase board in my craft room, held in place with magnets dressed up with 2 large designer buttons.

I hope this inspires you to make one of your own.  I would love to see it.

Until the next time,  keep stampin'!

SNOW FESTIVAL TAG CARD

Hi Stampers!
A while back I shared a card featuring  Snow Festival Designer Printed Tags.  Here's another that goes together oh-so-quickly.

Texture is added by running the Whisper White card stock mat through the Big Shot using our elegant Lacy Brocade embossing folder (#127819).  Four Basic Pearls (#119247) are just the right finishing touch.

Happy creating!

A LITTLE NOEL

Hi Stampers,

Only 3 weeks left until we celebrate Christmas.  It can be such a busy time with shopping and wrapping, parties and family gatherings.  Oh, and getting those cards and newsletters out (I am still working on mine -- how about you?)  So let's get crackin' with another card idea.

.

stamps:  Delightful Decorations, Greetings of the Season, Watercolor Winter
inks:  Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green
paper:  Whisper White card stock, Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes
tools:  Ornament Punch
etc:  Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, stampin' dimensionals

The Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (# 107311)  are such a great deal.  You get 20 precut  and scored 5" x 3-'1/2" cards and their envelopes, ready for you to finish up and send off (regular postage despite the smaller size); all for only $5.95.  That's less than $.30 a card!  Convenience plus economy -- I like it.

Keep smiling!
Trish
