One more Christmas card

Here is one more Christmas card that I forgot to show you. It is a gift card holder. I used the Letters to Santa DSP and a retired stamp set.

Christmas sure did fly by! I can’t believe it is almost 2012!

Ayako Birthday Card

Today is my friend’s daughter’s birthday, so I whipped up this Ayako Sister Stamps card for her.  I tried to match the colors to the background paper that I chose.

I made a little pocket for some cash using the soon-to-be-released Stampin’ Up! Framelit die.  I just cut off one of the edges.

I hope she has a great birthday!

All Occasion Tags

These are the tags that I made to fill up those up-cycled tins that I posted previously.

SNEAK PEAK:  The first two tags are made using the Labels Collection Framelits dies and the Apothecary Art stamp set that will be available on Jan 4th in the new Occasion Mini catalog.  I can’t wait for the Mini to come out, I love so many products from it.

The next two tags were cut using the Two Tags die.  I really love that die and use it all the time.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Up-cycled Tins

I’ve been saving all the tins that I get from my tea thinking that one day I would do something with them.  Well, this was the year!  I decorated a bunch of tins and filled some of them with SU! embellishments for my crafty friends, and the others I filled with all occasion gift tags.

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Labels Collection Framelits that will be coming out in the occasions mini catalog which you can purchase starting on Jan 4th.  The Framelits fit perfectly around the Upper Case Spencerian Alphabet.

And of course I couldn’t resist making one using Sister Stamps.  This is the same tin with a different girl on the front and back.  The left is Miyono and the right is Ayako.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bag with Scallops Gift Card Holder

I needed a gift card holder but wanted to include some little candies with the gift card so it wouldn’t just be the card by itself.  So I decided to use my Bag with Scallops die and the gift cards fit perfectly with a handful of little chocolates.

I used the Delightful Decorations stamp set along with a retired stamp set for the sentiment.  I added the scallop dots ribbon for that extra touch.

I had to keep them simple as I had a bunch to make, but I still like how they turned out.  I’m also glad to be using one of my older dies that I sometimes forget about!

With Sympathy

Amidst all the holidays, I had to make a sympathy card.  I always hate making sympathy cards, especially when it is for a specific reason rather than for the “just in case” stash. 

I used the Fabulous Florets stamp set and stuck with a monochromatic color scheme.  I think the ribbon helped to make this design work.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

 

Hope you have a great weekend!

Setsuna Christmas Card

Here is my second Sister Stamps Christmas Card. This one uses Setsuna. I used the same technique as my previous card where I stamped directly on to the card base and then sponged around the image.

I also used Moonlight Smooch ink on his beard and hat.

And here is the same inside that I used on the Shimo-san card with Kiyoko and her sparklers.
