Votive Decor

I really have been experimenting with new products. I just love adding little touches to my home decor. For Thanksgiving I added fall leaves falling from my sconces on my wall. Stampin up's Leaves die cut #2 worked great for many projects this fall. I used the Decor Elements sheets in chocolate for this. I was waiting for my Northern Frost die strip and grew impatient, so I used contact paper, a votive, and a Martha Stewart Punch with some etching cream to create this beautiful frosted cup. The photo doesn't show the detail but it is there. Etching cream is really easy to use and everything can be bought at Michaels except the contact paper that came from Walmart.Thanks for stopping, Brenda

St. Nick Treats

These were fun also, 3 york Peppermint Patties or Reese Peanut Butter Cups, 6 Large scallop circles in Bashful Blue, 6- 1 3/4 inch white circles. I used a retired snowman set, but Sizzix has a Snowman#2 die cut that would work perfect. That's where I got the hat from! Assemble snowman place in a plastic treat bag from Michael's and tie with a red ribbon! Don't ya just love the holidays? I bet rhinestone brads would rock instead of coal....

Candy Cane Sleds

A lot of you have probably seen this before but we had a blast doing these with the kids. 1 regular Hershey Bar, 2 small eyelets on the end of the candy bar to tie the ribbon thru. 1 piece of designer paper 6 x 5.5, and 1 piece of white cardstock 2 x 5.25, any christmas stamps and saying that will match. 2 candy canes and 1 low temp, glue gun. Fun, Fun, Fun. Thanks for stopping!

Week 6 of Christmas Cheer/ Gift card holder

This gift card holder was so easy and looks so elegant. You'll need 2 chipboard top note dies cut out and 3 always artichoke top note dies cut and 1 designer paper die cut. you'll also need a 4x6.5 piece of always artichoke cardstock on the 4 inch side score in a 1/2 inch on each side. Turn your paper and on the 6.5 inch side score at 1/2 inch,3.25, and 3.75. trim in your score marks to make your box and remove the .50x2.75 that would be toward the top(lid). tape the artichoke cardstock on both sides of the bottom chipboard and on the other tape your designer paper and tie your bow. Tape down the other artichoke to the back of that and using red tacky tape this will hid the ribbon on the back, put your box together and tape the lid to the top. Thanks for stopping, supplies used were: Top Note Die, Deck the Halls DP, Red Satin ribbon, Always Artichoke Cardstock. Supplies can be purchased at http://brendasplace.stampinup.net/
