Tidings of Comfort and Joy- Card~

Hello Stampers!
Happy Friday to you.
What a crazy busy week!  When you are sick you try and get as much done when you start to feel a LITTLE better.  Sometimes it back fires on you and you get sick again.  UGH, luckily, I have a great set of team members who knew I needed some help!  I was sent a few cards to share with you.  Love my Stampin' Up team members!!

Here is another fun-tastic card!  Swaps are just wonderful and come in so handy when you need a helping hand to catch up on fun shares!

This card was created with the Christmas Pines photopolymer stamp set and Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies.

Thank you for joining me today!
Have a great weekend.

Santa Pin Christmas card!

Hello Stampers!

I have a FUN-TASTIC card to share with you today!  I got it from one of my team members!  So stinkin' cute!!  Great job Vicky!

Here's my project share for today.

She used the Santa stamp from the Cookie Cutter Christmas photopolymer set to create a pin!

YEP!  She put a pin on the back so you could wear it.  It's a Christmas card PLUS pin.  So cute!

She also used the Holly Embossing Folder to place the Santa on.

Thank you for joining me today.
Happy Crafting!

It's Wednesday! FMS 262

Hello Stampers!

It's Wednesday and that means Freshly Made Sketches day!  Hooray!!

Here is our sketch for the week.

I don't know about you, but I am in desperate need of Thanksgiving cards!

I always have about 20 that I send out each year and this year with me catching this nasty cold I have not gotten very far!

To create this card I used the Acorny Thank You Photopolymer stamp set along with the matching Acorn Punch.

Don't forget to check out the other wonderful creations at FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES.

Paper Pumpkin alternative ideas.

Hello my crafty friends!
So glad you could join me today!

Ever have extra materials from your Paper Pumpkin kit?  Here's another idea from the December 2015 Paper Pumpkin Kit.

I am always in need for sympathy cards, sad, but true.  They are the one card I seem to always run out of.

I liked how simple Paper Pumpkin made it to create these cards.

Using Dimensionals you can just pop up the flowers in a snap!

If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber you can always purchase refill kits available at my online store!

If you have any questions please let me know.

Happy Heart...Happy Christmas!

Hello Stampers!
So glad you could join me today.  Sorry I have missed the past few days of posting.  I have been very ill, but I hope I am finally on the mend.

Here is my project share for today.

I just love the mini pompoms!  They add so much fun!

The Triple Banner Punch was used to create the banner for the Sentiment from the Suite Seasons rubber stamps.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Happy Stamping!

Warm Greetings!

Hello my crafty friends!
So glad you popped on over to my blog today!
I have a fun project to share with you.

It is created with my favorite stamp set!!  Cookie Cutter Christmas photopolymer bundle!

This is such a simple layout, this is one of my favorite one sheet wonders.  It's a simple layout, like I said and you can create several cards from one sheet of DSP!  I used This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper available in the Annual Catalog.

Grinch Punch Art by Cheryl~

Hello there!
Happy November!  Can you believe it's November already?  Christmas is right around the corner.
When I think of Christmas, I remember cozy nights with my family watching 'old' Christmas cartoons, my all time favorite was The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!
So, I wanted to make something with the Grinch, I LOVE the Grinch, LOL.  He makes me laugh everytime I watch the movie version with Jim Carey.

This is what I came up with!  Isn't he cute!?  Love it!

I created him using the...pause for dramatic effect...Jar of Haunts photopolymer set!   Wait, what?  YES, I used a Halloween stamp set to create Mr. Grinch!  Along with the Jolly Hat Builder Punch and smallest oval from the Layering Oval Framelits.  For those of you who still have the small oval punch, it's the same size!

I start by stamping the pumpkin on Old Olive Card Stock.  Then stamped the eyes, twice, once inside the pumpkin and on a piece of Whisper White and colored them in with Daffodil Delight.  Fussy cut them out and glued them to the pumpkin.   If you look at the pumpkin you can see it has a line down both sides, I trim that off, so his face was not too wide.

 Punched the hat out in Real Red and Whisper White and then cut an extra white part for the ruffle of 'Santa's outfit.  Real Red was also used for the oval.  As you can see I simple cut it in half.

As I was laughing and having fun making this crazy punch art, I had to dig though my stamps because what does he say when Max is 'dancing' to holiday music?   "Are you having a holly jolly Christmas?"

AHHH, I found one in my stash!  It's by Hero Arts.  Love it!!  :)
