This card is based on the card in the Holiday Mini on page 46. That card has an envelope behind it but I added the color to the front. Then I decided to mix it up a bit –

I changed the colors and added some washi tape. Which one do you like best?

Christmas, Holiday Mini, Ornamental Pine

Comments

Isn’t this a pretty stamp set? It’s called Ornamental Pine and will be available in two days in the Holiday Mini! I used Lost Lagoon as the base, stamped the background with the pine several times and then embossed the pine and pinecone in white embossing powder. To finish it off, I sprayed the entire card with shimmer spray.

Supplies

Card stock – Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Brushed Silver

Ink – Versamark, Lost Lagoon, Cherry Cobbler

Etc – white embossing powder, silver ribbon, shimmer spray

I think this will be one of my favorite stamp sets this season. Hugs, Fran

This card is really Melon Mambo. My camera isn’t “seeing” the bright pink – so you’ll have to use your imagination! With Silver foil Vellum and some glimmer paper, this stamp set says it all.

25 Days, box, Christmas, Holiday Mini

Comments

Thinking about Christmas? Or how about a birthday party? These little Tiny Treat Boxes (135829) are 2 x 2 x 2 and can be used for lots of things. Here I simply copied the idea on page 12 of the Holiday Mini. I used the 25 Days stamp set and stacked them into a tree. But I see lots of ideas for the boxes and stamp set. This will be a great set for Project Life! But for this project – it’s a Count Down to Christmas. Now I have plenty of time to find things to fill it 🙂 Hugs, Fran

My favorite new thing in the Holiday Mini? The Gift Box Punch Board of course! This wonderful tool makes the cutest boxes is many sizes – the largest being 4 x 4. Here I used the new Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series paper to create a Christmas box. The paper is really heavy – perfect for these boxes! Around the sides I added trees. There is a new punch in the mini that makes trees – but these were made with the banner punch. I topped it off with the new Mingle All the Way stamp set and the Banner Framelits.

Boo bags! These cute bags are made with the Polka Dot Ta A Bag Gift Bags. I stamped “Boo” with the Larger Than Life Alphabet and made a tag with Freaky Friends. The tag is clipped on with one of the In Color Clothespins. This is the first one I did – then I realized that when filled, the “boo” no longer shows. To fix that, I moved the words up about 1 inch.

And added some bats 🙂

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Freaky Friends, Larger Than Life

Card stock – Bermuda Bay/Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP

Ink – Jet Black Stazon

Etc – Polka Dot Gift Bags, Fun Frames embossing folders, In Color Mini Clothespins

These will be fun to hand out! Hugs, Fran

Today is Challenge day for the Karen Burniston Design Team! This month we were challenged to use the characters – Chilly, Hoppy and Poppy! On this project I used Chilly to decorate a jar for gift giving. There are 6 Chillies around this blue Bell jar and some sweet snowflakes from Karen’s Garden Bench die. I added rhinestones so he could have some bling.

I used Stampin Up’s Oh My Goodies to make the label for the top which matches the Deco Label Collection Framelits – that were designed by Karen! Stamped in Real Red and then again in Basic Black, the center is punch with an oval punch and popped up. I tied the rim with some Real Red cotton ribbon. Then I filled the jar with peppermints!

Next I made a card using Stampin Up’s new In Colors and Flowerpot Designer Series paper. Again I used Oh My Goodies and the Deco Label Collection for the front. The edges of the card are done using two of Karen’s Agatha edges.

And inside is Hoppy on Karen’s Lorna Label PopUp. He’s sitting by his pond with a Stampin’ Up’s Just Sayin die cut with the Chalk Talk dies. Hoppy comes with his own lily pad and flies! I attached the flies to some fishing line and mounted them between the lily pads.

The flower is from Stampin Up’s Flower Patch (that also has a matching Framelit set.) Hoppy is done in Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz. His “pond” is in Lost Lagoon. Hope you are enjoying meeting the characters! Check out the rest of the gang by visiting Karen’s Facebook page and seeing what the rest of the team has created! And come back tomorrow to see what’s going on with Poppy! Hugs, Fran
