Ho Ho Ho

Hello friends.  I had a little crafting time this afternoon so I made this card for Merry Monday #185 challenge - use boots on your card.  

I cut this cute design with my Silhouette and adhered it to a SU Night of Navy panel embossed with the SU Lucky Stars EF.  The Ho Ho Ho is cut on my Silhouette also.  The Merry Christmas is from an Inspired by Stamping set.  

I am also entering this in the Silhouette Challenges #32  - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

This is a special project I made to display on my mantle for Christmas and to represent the true meaning of Christmas.  These are paper mache letters from Hobby Lobby.  I painted them ivory color, chose different DSP, My Mind's Eye - green and holly print, and the red music paper is from a Recollections Christmas pad.  I traced the letters backwards on the back of the papers, and fussy cut them out.  The nativity scene is cut with my Silhouette twice and layered together for sturdiness.  I painted over the letters with Americana DuraClean Satin Varnish to seal them.  The sentiment from SU Reason for the Season set is stamped on SU Very Vanilla and punched with a 2" circle punch.  It is mounted on a gold foil MFT doily die (discontinued).  The poinsettias are made with MFT Poinsettia die from MFT Electric Red CS.  I added a large glittery enamel dot by The Paper Studio to the centers.  The leaves are from a Christmas pick from the Dollar Tree.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Tuesday Morning Sketches #332 - Anything Goes

and the Silhouette Challenges #32 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day and a very 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Stamping,

Silhouette Challenge #22

Hello my crafty friends.  Today I am sharing a project I made for a door prize for our High School Class Reunion this weekend.  I used my Silhouette Cameo and the A2 Lori Whitlock Card/Magazine Holder & Sleeve from the Silhouette Store.  I did not make the sleeve though as I wanted the included handmade cards to show.  I used SU Basic Black for the base and the DSP is from a Recollections Simply Pastel pad.  I added the border using a Martha Stewart border punch and some SU Lost Lagoon ribbon.  I loved making this project and will be making more (to keep).

I am entering it in the Silhouette Challenges #22 - 3D Item for your Craft Room (this would be in my craft room except I am giving it as a gift. :) )

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Crafting,
JoAnn
