Santa's on the Way

Wow, 20 days till Christmas. Where has this year gone. Well on to the reason for this post. A couple of weeks ago one of the girls I was working with had this container of mints

  I saw it as a santa. Don't know why but that is the way my mind works sometimes. So I found them at a great price and thought I would see if I could make my idea come to life. I wanted his beard to be over the larger opening so you will be able to get the mints out.

This is a photo of what I came up with. Not bad if I say say so myself.  I will be making these

for people I work with.

 

Below you will see the pieces I used and the items I used to make them. I did how ever after

taking the pictures choose to use the scalloped edge punch for the trim on Santa's hat. 

The punches I used are large oval, owl punch, bird builder punch, large scalloped circle,

the third oval thinlet from the frameits line,The retired scalloped circle #2 for the bigshot,

 and the star burst embossing folder. Hope this helps you to make your own Santa's.

 

Hope you have enjoyed this post and maybe make a few for yourself.

Have a great day and happy crafting.

Happy Thanksgiving

Wow, Christmas Is on the way

      Wow, I have been so busy. This time of year is super busy for me. I tell myself every year I will not wait so late. I will start in July. But then I find myself waiting. I  tend to sell more this time of year then any other. I sell packs of 15 Christmas cards for $20.00 or single cards for $2.00.  I also make ornaments for $5.00 each.

 

    Today I am showing a couple of cards I made using Dustin Pike  images. He has some of the cutest images. I love to use his stuff and have well over 3000 of his images.

   

   Well I am off to finish up a couple of orders I have. Have a great day and happy crafting.

Halloween Challenage

I am trying to get back in the grove have been really missing joining in on challenges all over the web. This weeek I am joining in on a challenge over at meljens designs  .

The Challenge is

 

Fab-Boo-Lous

 

Anything but a card. You must also use an image by Meljens designs.

 

I made a cover for full size bags of skittles. I used a 6 x 12 sheet of card stock, covered it with ghost background paper. I then printed out the words twice. I colored them in using copic markers. I added glitter to the lines. The ghost are colored in with pearlized accent ink from stamin up, also adding goggle eyes to make them pop.. I cut out and popped up the A, U, and T on Happy haunts for the outside cover.

 

On the inside I colored once again with copics, added glitter to the B, O, & Exclamation point. I also added crystal effects to the spider and the center of the B & O's. I also cut out and popped up the B. Then added pop dots to the back and popped it up.

 

Hope you have enjoyed this project and be sure to go over and check out all the great Images at

Have a great day and happy crafting

Perfect Blend

Today I have a new card using the set "Perfect Blend" from Stampin up

 

This first one is made quick and simple. I popped up the cup

& added crystal effects to the top. Then I stamped it

on matching designer series paper. 

 

 

This shows how with just some ribbon and button

it steps the card up and makes it pop.

 

Well hope you have enjoyed this post and have

a crafting good day.

Monstermaniacs

Wow, I just got this new set, Monstermaniacs. It is so cute.
 

 

This set was designed by a fellow Stampin up Demonstrator.

Isn't it cute it also has three other images.

 

I will be putting more ideas later.

Hope you enjoy this project and have a

great Crafty Day.

 

 

I made this card using a Dustin Pike Image. He has some of the greatest stuff. I have

 well over 5,000 of his images. This card is for a co-worker who is a hugh

help at work. Without her I dont know how some people would make it

when they go home from the hospital.

If you like this image you will enjoy all of his other ones. You can visit him here.

 Hope you have a great day and happy crafting
