Lighting the way

Hi everyone!

The challenge this month at Addicted to Stamps and More is:

I went the vintage route with Spellbinders Shapabilities Lighting the Way die. I think this is so adorable!

 I have sooo many dies that I have not used, so my goal this year is to use as many as I can. I found this one in my Christmas stash.

I hope you join us!

Spellbinders Merry Christmas

Hi everyone!

Laurie here with another Christmas card.

For todays card I used FRA-DIE-09283 Poinsettia. I cut it out in red and gold foil, using the gold for some  leaves. I also added an enamel dot in the center. The sentiment is from Christmas Angel CL-164. I adhered it to a Stitched Rectangle Frame FRA-DIE-10091.

 I love the look of the font on this!

 The verse reminds me of Christmas Eve's of long ago when I was growing up. Our family had a tradition of standing in front of the tree and reciting our memorized Sunday School Christmas program verses to our grandparents. I would stand so straight and proud! LOL.... such fun memories.

I hope you are all busy making fun memories, or remembering ones of your past this holiday season!

Wooden Snowflake Tag

Do you ever see all those cute wooden shapes in the dollar store? I usually drag some home with me not sure what I plan to do with them....lol

This time I used all the snowflakes on my tags! The tag itself is from Taylored Expression, and the sentiment from Frantic Stamper Tiny Tags. I put an enamel dot in the center.

Have a great day!

Dala Christmas

I made a card that features the Dala from Neat and Tangled, one of my all time favorite die and stamp sets! 

Here in Minot ND we celebrate Hostfest every year, which is a Scandinavian Festival. There's lefsa, krumkaka, swedish meatballs...every food you can think of including lutefisk...lol Lots of gifts and entertainment too.

Here's a few pics:

We like to volunteer each year...its always lots of fun.

So I often find myself making cards with the Dala...here I added him to a heart frame from Avery Elle. The rectangle is from Tutti Designs. I added a bit of speckles too!

I hope you will join us and play along!

Hi everyone!

Laurie here with a slimline Christmas card.

This card features one of my all time favorite dies from Frantic Stamper, the Antique Sled FRA-DIE-10731. I splattered some snow speckles with a toothbrush onto the sled, and used some silver foil for the handle.

I also added the sentiment with Eight Tiny Tags FRA-DIE-10734, and CL-140 Tiny Tag Greetings.

I can't believe tomorrow it's already December!

Spellbinders Enchanted Garden ATSM

I just love this set from Spellbinders called Enchanted Garden!

I cut them out in several colors and then adhere them in different combinations while my hubby is watching football...lol! He likes company but I really can't get into it unless it's the Vikings. So I adhere. Haha

The Scandinavian look is so cute!

Feb Christmas Craft Creations

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

Today's card is for the challenge at Christmas Craft Creations.

I started out with the embossing folder from Stampin' Up. Then I adhered the bulb from Spellbinders called Nordic Ornaments, and the swirl from My Favorite Things. The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.

This card has some of my favorites...beginning with that embossing folder. It makes a perfect background for so many of my cards. The swirl is an oldie but goodie, and that JOY fits perfectly in so many spots.

I hope you will play along with us at Christmas Craft Creations!
