Blogging Break

Apparently I've been on a bit of blogging break!  I'm taking care of some family matters and traveling overseas, so sadly this break will continue into December.

Here are a couple Top Note boxes that we made in stamp club this month.  They're hybrids of lots of similar projects I've seen posted online, so I'm not sure who to give credit to.  One great source of inspiration is Tammy at Dream, Create and Share.

Thanks to everyone who is still visiting and reading the archives.  I have posted a couple of projects on my other blog Art Ali, if you'd like to pay me a visit there.

Happy Holidays!

Sweet & Simple Sunday

I had been drooling over some cards that my blogging buddy Susan made with this set, so when I received this Berry Christmas set at the SU regional a couple of weekends ago, I was really excited.  This one goes out to Susan!

The pink ornaments were made by punching out c/stock with the largest hole on the Crop-a-dile.  I glued them to the wreath with a dot of liquid adhesive and adhered the glitter with a two-way glue pen.  

We made this at stamp club this month and while I have to make this card with a Stamp-a-ma-jig, I was amazed that some people can eyeball it.  I take my hat off to them because I certainly can't!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Supplies:

• Stamps: Berry Christmas, To You and Yours (sentiment)
• Cardstock: Whisper White, Melon Mambo
• Ink: Certainly Celery, Melon Mambo
• Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds
• Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Cropadile

Delightful Decoration

I haven't participated in the Featured Stamper challenged on Splitcoast for the longest time.  But I actually had five extra minutes on Sunday afternoon to create a card for it.  The Featured Stamper was Rachel - check out her gallery and blog.

I decided to CASE one of her clean and simple cards and copied her layout and color combo, but changed up the size and image.

Don't you just love this Delightful Decorations set and punch from the mini catalog?  I really hope it makes it into the big catalog next year.

Here's another I made with the same set.  I stamped the ornament with versamark ink on white c/stock, heat embossed with silver embossing powder and filled in the center with a black marker.
