Peace And Joy

Good Morning! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!  We certainly did, counting my blessings as I type!

Once again I am playing along in the monthly Papertrey Ink December 2016 Blog Hop.

 

 

 

I totally fell in love with Bottle Brush Trees this year......swoon!



 

I made a bunch of Bottle Brush Tree tags using the Papertrey Ink stamp set, Joyful Christmas.  Bases and tree trunks heat embossed in gold and silver.  Inks in Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron.  Sentiment from Power Poppy, Simple Joys, stamped in Black Licorice ink. 

 

 

Gold and silver ribbons added to each one.

 



 

A little sponging on each tag.

 

And the perfect little sentiment added.

 

 

 

 

These were the little Bottle Brush Tree Ornaments I made for friends and family.  I decorated little wooden spools and corks to create them.  I had quite the fun obtaining my cork supply, wink, wink!  Ribbons, lace, beads, gold and silver twine and jingle bell accents.

 



 

I think they're kind of precious.

 

From previous post:

 

 

 

These were my client's gifts.

 



I always make a little trinket or ornament for family, friends and my clients each year.  Little snowy globes (glass light bulbs sans water).  Filled with a bit of snow and glitter and pearls and then just dropped in my Bottle Brush Trees.  Sealed them up and decorated a bit, adding ribbons and lace, sweet little jingle bells, hand cut flag banner with sentiment and another sweet little Bottle Brush Tree.  CUTE!

 

When shaken the jingle bells jingle and the snow blusters.

 

 

 

I really love these sweet little combos.

 

Thanks for hopping by!

 

And one last time for this year......MERRY MERRY!

 

Enjoy~~

 





Merry Merry

Happy Christmas Eve's Eve! 

I don't know why I am posting and playing around, I really have lots to do, like the rest of you I am sure!  But these are little trinkets I made for my clients and they were so fun to create!  The cards I made for 2 dear sweet friends, my BFF's if you will.

The cards will be entered into the Challenges at; Scrapy Land, Let It Snow and Simon Says Wednesday, Make It Sparkle.



I found these fun little glass lightbulb 'ornaments' at Michael's.  The top unscrews for easy filling.  Added my Bottle Brush Trees, which I have totally fallen in love with this year!  Added 'snow' and glitter and pearls.  I placed a second tree on the top and decorated with sweet little jingle bells in pretty shades of blues.  A bit of ribbon and lace and a sentiment stamped in Bermuda Bay ink to complete.  Power Poppy stamp set, Simple Joys.

 

When shaken they snow AND jingle! 

 

 

My cards use the Papertrey Ink Joyful Christmas stamp and die sets.  Stitched Traditional Tags by MFT.  Sizzix Holiday Word Script.  Snowflakes Embossing Folder by Darice.  Then of course I had to make them Shakers, cutting out the jar using the tree die.  The shaker bits are sequins and snowy glitter and this great Silver Glass Glitter by Stampin' Up!

 

 

I added Holographic foil to the jar lid and Holiday Script Word dies, using my Mini Minc.  Then I just kept grabbing things and loading it up.  Doily, Silver Twine, Adhesive Pearls, Jingle Bells, Lace, Sparkly Ribbon, and Sequins.  Let's just say they have a little heft to them!

 

 

 

 

I don't think these photos due them justice, they really are super pretty!

 

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!  I hope you find yourseleves surrounded by all whom you love!

 

MERRY MERRY!



Double Tree Tag

Back again with a little Christmas Tag which will be entered into the following Challenges; Papertrey Ink, Double Layered Tags, Simon Says Monday, O' Christmas Tree, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes and Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Use Dies.  I also wanted to enter this in the Challenge at WOW! Embossing Powder,  but their little inlinkz says:  Linky Widget expiration: 11 months ago.  Weird.

 

I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set, Joyful Christmas, I adore these sweet little Bottle Brush Tree images.  Stamped in Old Olive and Daffodil Delight inks.  The tree base is embossed in Gold Powder.

 

 

My tags were created with the MFT Stitched Traditional Tags and Sizzix Tags And Labels dies.  The JOY has been gold foiled and is a Sizzix Holiday Words Script die.  Gold and Red Ribbons, Christmas Designer Paper.

 

Thanks for stopping by. 

 

Wishing you all a JOYful day!



Joyful Christmas

Hello again!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Papertrey Ink, Background Building With Frames and Kat Scrappiness, World Card Making Day.

 

Okay, we all know how it works when a card just happens, it takes us where it wants to go.  This card was not that kind.....I got in too deep with this design and well there was no turning back.  Let's just say I am not crazy about it....at all.  But a card is a card is a card. 

 

I used the Papertrey Ink products, Fabulous Frames die and the Joyful Christmas stamp and die sets.  The frames were all cut from White Glitter card stock and arranged on the card base.  Then to soften the look a added a layer of Vellum.

 

 

 

Trees were die cut and stamped in Wild Wasabi and Pool Party inks.  Sentiment heat embossed in Green Glittery Powder on a Vellum strip.  Memory Box Twilight Snowflake dies were layered together.  Enamel Dots for accents.  I also added a bit of texture on the inside using a Darice Snowflake Embossing Folder.

 

Eh.....



Joyful Christmas Tag

Hello!

I was in a Christmas kind of mood.  I made a tag that I will enter into the Challenges at Cheery Lynn, Vintage and Simon Says Monday, Powder Power.

 

I used the largest die from the MFT Traditional Stitched Tags.  I thought that the Bottle Brush stamps from the Papertrey Ink stamp set,  Joyful Christmas would make for a lovely Vintage tag.  Trees stamped in Dove Gray, Pear Pizzazz and Pink Pirouette inks.  I sponged Antique Linen ink on all die cuts, to give them an aged look.  Cheery Lynn die, Holly Leaf 4.  Spellbinders Ribbon Banner die for my sentiment. 

 

 

 

My Seam Binding Ribbon was colored using a pale pink Copic Marker, I then soaked it in water and then dried it with my heat gun, this gives it a bit of pucker.  Trees were covered with a Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.  I also 'painted' on some Pearl Ex Pigment Powders in  Duo Green-Yellow and Flamingo Pink on my Holly and Berries.  The pink powder colored my white mini pearls too.

 

Buttons, Twine, Lace and Adhesive Pearls for accents. 

 

A FUN Christmas Tag to create!

 

Thanks for coming by!

 

Enjoy~~
