Merry christmas Pocket Pup

Pocket Pup ATS Stamp retired last year from Fun Stampers Journey but since my granddaughter, Sydney, has a chihuahua I decided to keep it.  She is away at college and I like sending her cards with this stamp.  This will be her Christmas card this year. The image was stamped with Black Licorice Ink onto Whip Cream Card Stock.  It was then colored in using Copic Markers.  I then die… Read More »

Soft Snowfall

Shop at my online store:  Spellbinders/FSJ See what’s on sale! Today’s post features the Soft Snowfall by Simon Says Stamp.  It is retired so I was not able to add it to the product list.  Here’s a picture of it. I have been listening to Christmas songs all morning and I heard a beautiful rendition of Oh Holy Night by Josh Groben.   The idea for this  card came from listening… Read More »

Woodland Deer

Shop at my online store:  Spellbinders/FSJ See what’s on sale! For today’s post, I used the Woodland Deer Die that came as a free gift (promotion).  I used a Sizzix Die called Birch Trees by Tim Holtz. To create the background I sponged the Ink Splat (from FSJ) Stamp several times across the top of the card using the Catalina Splash Ink pad.  I did the same thing to the… Read More »

Poinsettia Burst

Today’s post features the Poinsettia Burst Stamp Set and coordinating dies and the Fresh Forest Stamp Set (retired). I stamped the poinsettia flower and leaves several times using the Misti Tool.  In case you don’t know what a Misti Tool is; it’s a simple hinge design that lets you stamp an image several times without having to realign it. I also added rhinestones to the front of the flower and… Read More »

I also applied the Marvy Snow Marker Pen from Simon Says to the… Read More »

Old Fashion Christmas

I’m cleaning my craft room and came across some Christmas Paper which is several years old.  In fact, I think I only used one or two pieces from the paper pad so there was a lot of it.  It’s my featured item for today’s post.  The paper is called A Victorian Christmas and was made by the Prima Company.   The greeting is from the Holiday Sentiments Dies by Spellbinders. … Read More »

DIY Hoops

Today’s card features the DIY Hoops from the FSJ Holiday Journey Catalog. When I first started to decorate it using the Winter Scene Stamp Set, I was going to attach it to a base card.  Then I thought that it would make a cute Christmas ornament so I went with that. It’s also a shaker card (I mean shaker ornament) thought you can’t tell it in the photograph.  Thank goodness,… Read More »
