Lovely as a Tree Christmas Card

 

We made this card last night at Maureen Bruce's stamping party.  It is a fun, quick, cute card.  The Cherry Cobbler is stamped with Versa mark and the Simple Snowflake Stamp.  I ran a piece of Very Vanilla through the Big Shot and then stamp the middle tree with Soft Suede, and continued stamping the other trees with out reinking.  The reindeer is the stamp Dasher.  I love that little deer.  He is so cute.  Then I stamped more snowflakes with Cherry Cobbler ink and punched them out with the snowflake punch.  Ran a brad through them, and attached them to the card.

Today I sent in the stamping order, a tastefully simple order, did my bank deposit and went to the bank.  Then I started unpacking and putting things away from last night.  Jenna called and we talked for about an hour, and then I decided to take a nap as I was tuckered out.  I slept about 3 hours this afternoon.  I am having trouble with TMJ.  Could barely open my mouth to eat lunch.  :-(  Dragster.  But I managed to eat through the pain.  I made some Thin Mints after I got up.  I am sure I will be able to slide those through my lips being as they are thin!  Ha Ha!

Holiday Gift Packaging Class

This can be used to give a large cookie as a gift or a CD or DVD holder.  The next item is made with the Top Note Die and can be used to package small items as a gift.  The third picture down is a picture of a holiday cracker.  It doesn't "pop", you untwist the ends to open it.  It is a project that takes lots of folding and scoring but well worth the extra work when it is finished!

This project uses the Scalloped Square Die and is perfect for a bottle of perfume, rolo's, candy canes, you name it.  A very fast and cute project.  The gals also received 9 pages of patterns and other inexpensive Holiday Gift Giving Idea's.  They were headed to the store when they left here to buy things to do some of them.  We worked with Christmas music playing and had a great time!
