Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope that you are enjoying the company of family & friends, fantastic food and safe travel during the holidays!

The sample on the right is from my Perpetual Calendar and uses the great Delightful Decorations and Season of Joy stamp sets as well as the Ornament Punch, Merry Moments DSP, a red Rhinestone Brad and Garden Green & Real Red Craft Inks and Clear Embossing powder. The ornament heat embossed as is the snowflake.

The sample below is another Jingle All the Way Decor Elements sample. It uses a glass block and non-SU ribbon - we didn't have the wide ribbon last year or I would have used that. I love the Decor Elements - so easy to make these type of projects - I will have a few more projects to share after the holidays.


Enjoy this wonderful time of year - it looks like we'll have a rainy Christmas here in Elmhurst!

More "Jingles"

Another Jingle All the Way gift to share with you today - this is my favorite Christmas Decor Element, that's for sure.

I made this for my downline for Christmas - I'm glad that they are all part of my life and my Stampin' Up team of demonstrators!

To make this, I bought some Tumbled Tiles at the home store, cleaned them off (they are dusty) and then adhered the Decor Element trying to avoid the holes that are part of this kind of tile. Then I tied a knot with the gorgeous Old Olive wide striped ribbon, strung the bells through some linen thread and tied those on and that's all there is to it. I think that you could seal them with modge podge if you wanted to.

I hope that you enjoy your celebrations with family & friends this week!

Jingle All the Way

Hi there and Happy Winter!

Well looks like winter is here - blizzard and all! Tonight is a good night to stay in that's for sure. I thought I'd share another Christmas project. I really love the Decor Element "Jingle All the Way" and have used it in several different sizes for different projects. This project is a shadowbox frame. I applied the Decor Element to the front of the frame. Then I used Sticky Strip to attach all the jingle bells to the sides and the rest of them fell to the bottom. I did use lots of Jingle Bells but I like the way it turned out.

Enjoy the snow!
