Now that all the business is out of the way...........Let's get to the project I have prepared for this blog hop for Day 6!

Here is my project.


For my last project on the blog hop, I made a Wreath.

Here is the final project.  It is now hanging on my front door.

I used SCAL and cut out a big 'donut' circle.  I used white poster paint around the edges to make it look like snow.  I then cut out branches using my Cricut and SCAL using SVGCuts '3D Wintergreens' set.  I added some white poster paint to those as well to make it look like more snow.

Using the same '3D Wintergreen' set, I cut out quite a few holly's and poinsettia's.  I used the white poster paint on EVERYTHING (except the candle) so I won't keep repeating myself.  But after I used the poster paint and it all dried, I put the flowers together and adhered them all with glue and pop dots.

Here is one poinsettia close up.

Here is the holly close up.

The candle was a freebie from SVG Cuts.  I placed it at the bottom of the Wreath.

Here I had added green stickles to the center of the poinsettia and also to the holly berries.

I also traced the flame with orange stickles.  and shaded the candle with a dark yellowish orange ink to give it dimension.  I inked the candle plate with silver ink.

Here is a couple more close ups.

This isn't a very good picture, but there it is on my door.  I really had fun making this.

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project.

~Happy Crafting!  And Happy Blog Hopping!!

Now that all the business is out of the way...........Let's get to the project I have prepared for this blog hop for Day 6!

Here is my project.


I made a few pillow boxes so that I can insert gift cards in.

I cut out the pillow boxes using a svg file from Lettering Delights ~ Pillow Boxes Set.  The cardstock is from Reflections ~Sugar plums.  (I loved the metallic on this cardstock, but it was a bit difficult to photograph...because it reflected my flash.)

The 'Joy' stamp is from The Stamps of Life ~Penguins4Christmas stamp set and the 'Ornament' stamp was from their Holly4Christmas stamp set.   I used Stampin' Up! inks in real red and old olive.  The ribbon was some extra that I had on hand and I tied the ornament to the ribbon using The Twinery twine in maraschino.

Hope you like my pillow boxes.

Be sure to enter the giveaways and start at the beginning of the blog hop using the link above.


Happy Crafting!!

Now that all the business is out of the way...........Let's get to the project I have prepared for this blog hop for Day 2!

Here is my project.

I used the digi stamp from our Sponsor, Delicious Doodles, Poinsettia Corner.   This is my first time using a digi stamp/image and I can see how digi stamps/images can become addicting!   Delicious Doodles has some pretty great images too!

I colored the poinsettia corner using my copic markers.  On this image, I used: E25, YG67, YG17, Y19, R29, R59 and C0.

I then used stickles for the center of the poinsettia and also for the berries to give it some sparkle.

I stamped this card using the sentiment from The Stamps of Life, Christmas4Him stamp set.

Here is the completed card.


Hope you liked my card!
