Friends With Flair and some NEW {ippity} inspiration!

Hello! I hope you are having fun today looking at all of the wonderful Unity inspiration!  I got my big box of {ippity} yesterday and couldn't wait to play!  The Kissmas and Mistletoe set makes me sooooooo happy!  I love it!  I couldn't wait to pair that snowman image with my d'vine swirl CB folder!  I also made a matching ornament to go with the card.  I took some photos for a quick little tutorial!

First you need to find an old spool from ribbon.  I got this idea from Patti, the owner of Paper Maniac!  What a great way to recycle those ribbon spools!  If you are like me, you probably go through ALOT of these!  I used my nesties to create my circles in brown and kraft-to match my card.  The snowmen are stamped in ridinghood red.  I sponged brown ink around the edges and over the raised swirls and also on my snomen.

Now you use some tacky tape to tape a band of ribbon around the spool.  I created a loop on one end so that I could create my hemp twine ornament hanger.

Clear as mud?  LOL!  The ornament is really easy to make!  Who wouldn't want to receive a homemade card and matching ornament?  I hope you give it a try.  Remember...FREE shipping on my {ippity} products the month of November!  Click HERE to shop!

CAS-Friendship Never Melts Away!

Hi! I made this CAS card using this week's color challenge on SCS-always artichoke, real red, brown.  I wanted to use my new nesties and a sentiment from the new Stick Together set I got from TSG stamps.  A quick and easy card!  I will be back tomorrow with some Unity goodness for you!  Hopefully I will have my new {ippity} sets!  They are supposed to arrive at my house today! YAY!  I super excited and can't wait to create some samples with those sets!

Remember...Free shipping this month!

Hugs!

Snowflakes "Stick Together"

Hey there!  This card is for the sketch challenge over on SCS.  I had to use my brand new set from There She Goes called Stick Together.  This is my second set from TSG, and I really love the quality of their stamps.  Jessica has fabulous customer service, too!  This set was only $7!

I stamped the snowflake panel in memento Paris Dusk with the various snowflake stamps in this set.  I used some beautiful Elan Metallic paper from Paper Maniac in Steel Blue and Sapphire.  This is the best shimmer paper on the market, IMO.  It is fabulous!  The dimensional snowflake and bling is from Michael's dollar bin!  I stamped the swirls in Paris Dusk behind the main snowflake (also from this TSG stamp kit).

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hubby had an interview early this morning and they just called him back to talk to him again! YAY!  Keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for us.

Hugs!

Hope Your Holidays Are A Hoot!

Hello!  I was so excited to ink up this Christmas Owls set from MFT.  I have had it for quite some time, but was saving it for the holiday season!  I used the color challenge over on SCS-artichoke, red and brown with a neutral.  Love those colors for Christmas and it seemed the perfect combo for these two feathered friends!  I added some glitter to the fur on the hats and the ornaments.  The image is colored with copics.  I bought the felt star at hobby lobby and added a hemp bow to the center.

Thanks for stopping by!  I am busy with hubby decorating the inside and outside of the house for the holidays!  I {heart} this time of year!

More Holiday Decor from the Paper Maniac!

 Hello! I have a quick and easy holiday shadow box idea for you.  I bought this 5x5 shadow box at the dollar store.  The inside panel is actually 4.5x 4.5.  I had a really difficult time photographing this, so I took a photo of the inside of the box so you can get a feel for these wonderful Graphic 45 papers.  I added some epoxy letter stickers to the middle paper panel.  The Santa tag is also from Graphic 45.  I tore some holly leaves and berries off of a garland I have, and glued them inside of the box in the corner.  I stamped a corner flourish in the upper inside corner and also onto the lower left corner of the glass.  I added some kaiser pearls to the flourish on the glass to give it even more dimension.  I used black staz on ink for this.  Shadow boxes are great for sitting on a table, or for hanging on the wall.  A quick and inexpensive holiday gift!
