Goodbye Snow Much Fun

This was one of my “go to” Christmas sets so I’m shedding a few tears to see it go.  I took this one to convention last year for swapping.  The little tree is stamped in Stazon and colored with a Pear Pizzaz marker.  The ornaments are then filled with Crystal Effects. 



The “brad” on the tag is a circle punch covered with Crystal Effects.  You can imagine the spread as they dried – and I tried to keep my silly cat off of them!  


Supplies
Stamp sets – Snow Much Fun, Tiny Tags
card stock – Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Poppy Parade DSP, Pear Pizzazz DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue
Etc – Crystal Effects, Poppy Parade ribbon, Tiny tag punch


The funny thing about this card is that I grabbed a Pear Pizzaz and a Lucky Limeade marker – and didn’t realize it until I was finished coloring.  It worked!  If you’re going to start your Christmas cards early, now’s the time to shop.  The Holiday mini comes out August 1 – so if you’re an early starter, go through the retiring list!   Hugs, Fran

Snow Much Fun is one of the first sets I purchased from the current Idea Book and Catalog.  I just love these little guys!  This is a 3 x 6 card that I’m using as a tag to spruce up a present.  The larger size makes it show off nicely on the gift. 

Supplies
stamp set – Snow Much Fun
card stock – Real Red, Pacific Point, watercolor paper
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Bashful Blue, Real Red, Pacific Point, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie
Etc – Modern Label punch, Pacific Point brads (Brights), aqua painter

Note – I usually use Basic Gray instead of Black when I’m watercoloring. 

Christmas is a week away!  I still have 2 birthdays to celebrate before then (my mom and my brother) so I’m scurrying around trying to make lists and checking them 9 or 10 times an hour.  I’m so thankful when I can shut myself up in my craft room and stamp some sanity!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

Both of these tags were inspired by some I saw on Stampin Up’s demonstrator site.  The first one uses Snow Much Fun and the idea came from Becky Roberts.  It’s a fast and easy tag – perfect for this time of year!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Snow Much Fun
card stock- Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Real Red, Bashful Blue, Blush Blossom, Pumpkin Pie
Etc – Scallop Circle punch, Circles #2 die, 1 3/4 circle punch

The next one is a “front door” tag using the Stitched Felt wreath.  I cased Mary Brown’s idea of using Petite Pairs inside the wreath.  The sections of the door are on Dimensionals.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Petite Pairs
card stock – Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink – Chocolate Chip
Etc- Stitched Felt wreath, gold brad, 1/8″ Real Red Ribbon

Inspired by others – makes me smile!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

I have a stack of left over pieces from different cards/classes making quite an impressive pile so I decided to do something with them!  A few of them I made up just as they were “cut to be” – but then I got an idea.  I took  the pieces for this card –     
 


grabbed a few other sets and made these – (Holiday Happiness)



Awash with Flowers –



Field Flowers –



It was so much fun to see how different each card looked using the same pieces!  (And fast, because all the pieces were already cut!) 

Holiday Wreath class today!  And at some point I have to squeeze in a trip to the grocery store – seriously, it’s  empty around here.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Here’s another card I’m taking to convention using the new winter set So Much Fun. 


It’s just a sweet little card using Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz for my Christmas colors.  The little ornaments are touched with Crystal Effects to give them some shine and the Pear Pizzazz “brad” is a punch of card stock covered in Crystal Effects.

Stamping today – garage sale starts tomorrow!  Samantha finally had wifi this morning and I missed her on Skype!  I’m so sad!  Hopefully she will have a connection later on. Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
