PEACE

Thanksgiving has past and we've visited our friends and family and gave thanks for our many blessings.  I am thankful that Stampin' Up! is such a great company that provides top-quality products that inspire my creativity.  To that end, I've stepped outside of my "box" and began the process of creating something different.  There is more of this project to come.  I hope it inspires you.


God's Blessings!

Ms. Christmas Tree Owl and Her Friend, Mr. Snowman Owl

Loving the two-step owl punch as much as I do, I decided that I should develop another piece of art using the punch.  So, here is Ms. Christmas Tree Owl and her friend, Mr. Snowman Owl. 



Aren't they delightful?  Ms. Christmas Tree Owl is Crumb Cake and Garden Green in color.  She is adorned with her best decorations that were created with the Stampin' Up! Crop-A-Dile 1/8" punch outs, which were decorated with  Fine Cosmo Stampin' Glitter.  She proudly perches on the Early Espresso fallen tree (Branch Out - retired stamp set) with her "friend", Mr. Snowman Owl, as she displays her hand-designed Christmas tree dress.  As they enjoy each other and the falling  White Chunky Essentials and  White Gel Pen snow , Mr. Snowman Owl radiates in his Whisper White and Basic Black suit.  He proudly displays his Black Fine Galaxy Glitter hat that was created with My Digital Studio and "A Cute Christmas - Snowman" stamp.  

Their black Designer Jewels eyes sparkle, as does Mr. Snowman Owl's mouth.  His Rich Razzleberry Taffeta Ribbon scarf adorns and warms his neck as they stand side-by-side on the fallen tree.  Although it's cold outside, they feel cosy in their beautiful surroundings - the  Plant Hope,  Always Artichoke, and  Basic Black pine trees in their background, and the Brayer produced Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, and a touch of Perfect Plum sky.  They adore their Whisper WhiteMarina Mist, and Perfect Plum home, especially the interior, which is decorated with Shelli's Signature Collection, Serene Snowflakes

How adorable are they?  I think they are striking!

Now it's your turn -- you can't "click" away without telling their creator what you think of them!

God's Blessings!

Candy Cane Christmas

I finally got around to making a card with a Stampin' Up! sound card (item 121007).  The Candy Cane Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) (item 120809) was perfect for my first try.  This card was a hit as a display item at last weekend's workshop. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy pressing the "play" button (LOL).

The front of the card was inspired by a similar card created by Sarah Miller, but with alterations and different papers.

I used the Baja Breeze with Real Red polka dots paper from the SDSP for the primary cover on the front, spine, and back of the card. 

Other designer paper from the Candy Cane Christmas SDSP was used as well as Baja Breeze (item 111352), Blushing Bride (item 119797), and Real Red (item 119940) cardstock.  Additional Stampin' Up! products used were:  Word Play Stamp Set (item 120651); Top Note bigz die (item 113463);  Scallop Edge Border (item 118402), Photo Corners (item 119878), and Boho Blossoms (item 119858) punches; Petals-a-Plenty (item 116824) and Northern Flurry (item 120902) textured impressions folders; Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (item 109034); Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric (item 121715); Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item 119246); Heat and Stick Powder (item 100625); Dazzling Diamonds (item 102023) and Fine Cosmo (item 108796) Stampin' Glitter; and Stampin' Up! adhesives. 

All products can be purchased at my Stampin' Up! 24/7 store.  I hope you have enjoyed my production. 

Now, tell me what you liked about it!

God's Blessings to You!

IN HONOR OF OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN

May we bow our heads this week in gratitude for the military men and women who have such courage and are so bravely protecting our freedom, or who gave their precious lives in doing so.  May God richly bless these men and women and the families who lost a precious loved one in these horrible wars.  For U.S. citizens who do not stand behind our soldiers, may they stand in front of them!  Praise God for the U.S.A!

I made this card today (while fighting tears) and dedicated it to these wonderful military men and women.  As they bow their heads in prayer, asking for God's protection, may He wrap His protective arms around them and bring them safely home!
