12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts: Day 3 – Holiday Bookmarks

day3_bookmarks1

Good morning and welcome to day three of my 12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts! I have a craft to share today.  Every year, my bookclub has a holiday party in early December. We take the month off due to holidays.  But we always have a party at a local restaurant and have dinner and a fun book swap.  So I made some bookmarks for each of the members to remind us of a year of books we explored and say thanks for the fun.

So I cut out bookmarks on my Silhouette and then used a Flourishes stamp and stamped the greeting and topiary on each. Then I colored them up with Copics and added a Wink of Stella to the ornaments to give them a glowing look (can’t see in my photos unfortunately).  I then ran them through my laminator. Which by the way, is super inexpensive at Walmart.  It’s very easy to use and I am loving it.

I hope you are having a blessed day.

12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts: Day 2 – Ornaments card

day2_ornaments1Good morning and welcome to day two of my 12 Days of Holiday Cards and Crafts!  What a difference one day can be from another. Yesterday the temperature got up to 64 degrees and today it’s barely 40 and cloudy.  Brrr… Makes me want to crawl under a blanket with some tea!

Today’s card I used an old Hero Arts stamp set and stamped several on a sheet of Copic paper and then colored them up with my Copics and cut them out.  I attached them to the card with some brads and used pop dots to add dimension to one of the ornaments. I used Stampin Up paper as the card base and added some corrugated paper for more texture to the card. I left the inside blank.

I hope you are having a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow with another creation!!

Quick Christmas Haul at Target

Nov4_2014crafthaulLately, it seems like Target has been cutting way back on scrapbooking supplies.  A sad sign of the times unfortunately.  Which saddens me but I still walk the aisle and peek at the few things they do have. I found these cute stickers there. The animal stickers are dimensional and they have a kind of old-fashion feel to them. I can’t wait to use them on a project. A Tuesday Morning opened up here this year and I have found some great bargains there. I like to have some local resources.

Well have a blessed day friends!

Tag Tuesday #3: Let it Snow

nov18_2014aGood morning and Happy Tag Tuesday! It’s sunny here this morning but really cold.  So it’s a great time to be at my craft table. Today’s tag makes me think more of a bookmark but I guess you could use it for either purpose. I am in no way suggesting the white stuff start falling with the sentiment I chose. Just thought it went well with the image.

nov18_2014bI colored up one of my older Greeting Farm stamps. This was my first time creating a blonde combo for hair color. Then I cut her out and I used white cardstock to make a little snow mound that she could stand on and the sentiment is from a very old sticker sheet I bought with all sorts of holiday greetings.  I used Stickles on her ear muffs and fur trim. I used silver on her pompoms.

I hope you are all staying warm and squeeze in some time to create.

Have a blessed day!

Belinda
