Setting the Thanksgiving Table

The Sisters in Stamping blog is featuring Thanksgiving favors this week. Here is my project--

 

I used the new Envelope Punch Board (#133774, $19.95) and the Tags 4 You Bundle (pg.37 of the Holiday Mini catalog) to create my favor. I cut the leaves with the Autumn Accents Bigz die (pg.192 IB&C, #113468, $21.95) and used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (pg. 191 IB&C, #117335, $7.95) to give them some texture.  It opens up--

I attached a pouch of Spiced Cider with some sticky strip. My pouch measured out to 3 1/2x 4 1/4 and I used the Punch Board to do the rest-- it was awesome! All of the guess work, measuring and scoring taken care of, you've gotta love that. I CASED the idea kinda, from Julie Davison, here is a link to her blog post.

There are more Thanksgiving favor ideas over at the Sisters in Stamping blog, so go take a look!

Christmas Ornaments

I picked Christmas Ornaments for this week's Sisters in Stamping post. Here is a picture of my Christmas Ornament--

 

We don't have our tree up yet....I'm bound and determined to get all of the Christmas Decor up this year over the Thanksgiving week-end! Seems like the last couple of years it's taken me forever to get it up and then it seems like I turn right around and have to take it down-- does that happen to you too?

Well, my Ornament Santa is pullin' double duty this year! This is a Decorative Window Gift Box (pg.36, #132146, $4.96/6 boxes)-- I punched a hole in the side where the flap goes in, folded the box up, filled it with Kisses and the glued my Santa onto the front. Quick, super simple just the way things should be for this time of year. You could easily make a few ahead of time to give!

Thanks (as always) for coming by! Happy Stamping-- Karla c(:

Friday Once Again!

Well, I hope you had a safe Halloween last night and you gathered loads of candy! I stashed a few of my favorites from the candy bowl for later....but, that's not why your here! It's Friday again (the weeks are just flying by) and it's Debbie's turn over at the Sisters blog and we are making projects using some of the super cute Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Here is my project for this week--

I used the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack, the new grey card stock called Smokey Slate (which I can't stop using) and some Coastal Cabana Ribbon to match. This cute little box was designed by Dawn O. you can see the tutorial here.

This was the Group Make & Take we made at the Fall Meeting last month, lots of fun! 

 

Have a great week and we will see you back here next Friday for some Christmas Ornaments. Until then, happy stamping!

Christmas Advent for Fabulous Friday

Well hey there! It's Rachel's turn over on the Sisters in Stamping blog and she has picked framed art as her project this week. I didn't use a "frame"....I did something a little different, here is my project for this week--

 

 

It's an Advent Calendar made with the new Envelope Punch Board. I'm not quite done with it yet, but I took some pictures of it so that I could show you how cute it's turning out. I used a cookie sheet (13x9, I purchased it at the W-Mart store) and punched 2 holes in the top to run the ribbon through for hanging. There are 2 strips of washi tape on the the top and bottom, I love the splash of color.

 

 

 The little envelopes were made with the NEW Envelope Punch Board the small numbers (1-11) are 3 1/4" square the larger ones are 3 1/2" square. There is a scallop circle of Silver Glimmer paper under each number and a rhinestone in the center of each tree so it's very glittery!

The back side serves as storage for the little envelopes as the Advent Calendar gets used. Each envelope has a small tag in it that you can right on

Thank-you for coming by today and checking out my cute Advent Calendar. make sure you stop by next Friday for more Holiday Ideas!

A Little Halloween Treat

Hey! It's Rachel's turn over at the Sisters in Stamping blog and we are all making Treats for you. Here is my treat for this week--

I totally cased it from this blog. I changed a few things....I did'nt have the Halloween Hello stamp set so I used the Halloween Greeting from Delightful Dozen and I made my bat wings a little smaller. It is just the cutest!! Thank-you Laura!

The Sisters are using their favorite Best of set next week...see you then!

Happy stamping! Karla c(:

Washi Friday & Storage Ideas

We have Washi Tape ideas for this week's Fabulous Friday post over at the Sisters in Stamping blog. We have all posted storage ideas on our blogs too, so you'll have to stop by and check them out. Here is my card for this week--

 

 

 

 

 

I put 3 rows of washi tape on a white scrap of paper, cut it out and then paper pieced it in for the sleeve on my "to go" cup. Here is a close up picture of it.

This is how I've been storing my washi tape. It is a glass straw holder that I purchased at the box store. Jury is still out on the idea, I'll have to let you know how the trial run goes.

Thank-you as always for coming by today!

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

It's Friday Again!

I can't believe that it's time for another Fabulous Friday already! The weeks are just whizzing by at a break neck speed. It's Debbie's turn over at the Sisters in Stamping blog and we are making Fall themed projects. Here is mine for this week--

I used the NEW 1 1/4" Burlap ribbon (Item #132140, $7.95) from the 2013 Holiday Mini Catalog to make my roses. To make the rose I made a knot in the end of the ribbon and then twisted the ribbon around the knot. Once I had it to the size I wanted, I squeezed a puddle of hot glued onto the middle of the Silicon Craft Sheet (Item#127853, $5.95) and set the rose into it...making sure that the rough ends were in the hot glue. 

Here is a close up picture of the ribbon roses.

 

Thank-you for coming by today, see you next week for some Washi Tape ideas.
