Tree stamp

Like you, I like to buy stamps that can be used for more that one occasion. This Hero Arts tree stamp is a perfect example of this. I used it at Halloween to make the orange card and now here is the winter version using the same stamp:This is just the trees stamped with Versamark ink, then heat embossed with white powder. After that, I just used blue distress ink over the top. The embossed trees will resist the distress ink--one of my all time favorite techniques. The sentiment is from the Christmas Penny Black set. Glitter compliments of Miss Martha of course :-)

The shape of the sentiment section was done using a Tim Holtz edge die and I just cut one side off to make it fit flush along the edge.
Stay tuned because I have a feeling you'll be seeing this stamp again.....possibly for spring??!

12 tags of Christmas

Day one of the 12 tags has begun! If you love learning new techniques, Tim Holtz's 12 tags is for you! The background of this tag is so fun to do. I never would have thought to apply embossing ink right onto an embossing folder but that's what we did and it really works! Step by steps are on his blog of course. As of this morning, we did have both the Noel and the Pine Cone die. Lynne will be doing her best to keep us in stock on all the goodies he uses on his tags so keep checking in!

Paint cans

We love these see-through paint cans for gift giving--makes such a great presentation!

Melissa created this one:
She cut the poinsettias using this Cricut cartridge:
Then she filled it with mints. Great gift for anyone and so easy.
We have the cans in 2 sizes and these will fly out fast! So many ways you can fill these--even just for disguising gift cards these would be perfect.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hoping you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Take lots of pictures and come see us to make some layouts to celebrate the day.

Carrie created this kit:
How about these paper rosette turkeys? Pretty original idea from Tim Holtz.
Here's an inspiration piece for you -- what are you so thankful for this year?
And here's hoping you get plenty of treats!!
Enjoy the day and stop over on Black Friday AND Small Business Saturday---watch your email for specials.

Small Business Saturday

You may have seen this commercial running but I wanted to share it here with you too.
Small Businesses bring so much to their communities and it's really nice that a day has been designated just to celebrate and support them!

Salsa!

We've had this line in for awhile called Fiesta and I've admired the patterns and colors--just couldn't quite come up with a project for it. Well here it is! What a great idea and a great gift--who doesn't like salsa & chips? Cover any box with these great papers and then fill with chips, salsa, maybe some margarita mix :-)

I like how they made the bag toppers and covered the bottles with the matching papers.

Make & Takes

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to enjoy Christy's free make & takes today featuring TONS of Sizzix products. Everybody had a great time and walked away with some really cool little projects.

Another beautiful Organizer

Christy strikes again with another fabulous project. She took this KaiserKraft desk organizer....

So cute on anyone's desk to help them stay organized. This is the 2nd one she's done so if you missed the first, scroll down!
