Believe and Merry Christmas

I did this card a couple months ago. But thought I would post it now because I can't show what I have been working on just in case family peeks on here.

The back ground I used alcohol ink on glossy paper. The Angel I stamped on Vellum and colored the back side of it. I stamped and embossed the Believe. The metal is from my stash of things I have found. I did use the alcohol ink on them because they where silver. The Stamp Set is from Crafty Secrets, Ranger Alcohol Ink, Copic Markers, and the fiber is from Basic Grey.

I hope every on has a blessed and Merry Christmas and remember the true meaning to Christmas. That Jesus was born to give us hope and some one we can always Believe in to be here for us. Jesus is the Reason the Season.

I will show what I have been working on after Christmas when my family gets there gifts.
God Bless and Merry Christmas

Once Upon a Time
Last night I was having kinda wave of creativity. After a bad that is and I just started ripping, cutting, Stamping, Glueing. All I can say is I felt alot better after doing this little wall hanging. I was in needs of Gods Angels but I didn't have any angels to play with so the next best thing is butterflies. Next to Moose Butterflies are my favorites.


Well I started off with a peice of 6x6 basic Grey paper. Then I ripped a peice of paper from Flower Soft and distressed it with ink. The top layer of paper is Mulberry I stamped on it and sprayed it with water and the did the same stamp over it again but just in a few spots. All the stamps, Stickers and the Angel Image (the only angel I could find in my stash) are all from Crafty Secerts
The wings on the Little Princess are two layers. The bottom layer is just the wings stamped on Star Dream Paper and the top layer is on vellum and then colored the underside with Copics. And I "pop" her up. And I just love Stickling Things.
I finished it off with some buttons and ribbon in my stash. This was alot of fun. And durning it God reminded me that He's here with me no matter how bad of a day I have. And today when I was going though one of the board I belong too some one did a tag with this verse that went along with what I was feeling.

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Supplies (I will Try to list them all)

Stamps: Crafty Secerts

Ink: Ranger, Distress Ink

Paper Basic Grey, Flower Soft, Mulberry

Other: Stickles, bling, Ribbon and buttons from stash, Sticker and Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secerts

I think I'm going to try some more wall hanging I really enjoyed doing it. And I don't have to worry if it fits in an envelop

Just some Christmas Cards

Well I tried out for the SUInk DT but I didn't make it and that's okay cause I just love making cards these days. Well here are some of the cards I used when I tried



For this card I cut out the scalloped circle using the slice and cut a window on the top of the card. As you can see I Stamped the Santa on the inside. The pattered paper is from Doodlebug and
I love SUInk Oh Holly Night Set. Thats where this Mary stamp is from I colored her in with Copics

I just love this card I made it for my hubby one day.The paper is from Creative Imaginations. I also used Grunge board and sprayed it with Tattered Angels Gimmer Mist. The stamps are from SUInks Kiss the Cook Set.

Hopefully I will get some of my Christmas projects done so I can get some challenges done I have been wanting to do.

This year my parents are taking my oldest with them to North Carolina to see my Brother and Sister in Law. There son is the same age as our daughter and there bestest buds and they miss each other a lot.

Well on to the crafting.

I had a lot of fun making this wreath. First I cut card stock and pattered paper I use Reminisces in to 1 x 5 inch strips. I used a hot glue gun to loop them over. (hot glues dries a whole lot faster) I then hot glued them on to a Styrofoam wreath in 4 rows. I cut out the the snowflakes and circles using the Slice. I used SUInk stamp sets Snow Day and Holiday Sentiments to stamp the images. I colored them in with Copic and Spica to color them in. I added Iced Stickles to them. On the Merry Christmas circle I made 1/4 x 4 inch strips and looped them behind.

What is Chrismas with out cookies. I always love getting the pre mixed cookie jars. I love how they look and so easy to make cookies with. Well when I got Kiss the Cook stamp set from SUInk that was the first thing I thought of.
I stamped the images on cardstock and colored them in with Copics and Spica. Yes I just got the Spica pens too. They are made by Copics and are glitter pens, they are wonderful to work with. Then I cut the images out and put them on the tag. The letters are by Making Memories.
On the back of the tag are the mixing and cooking dirctions. I made a strip for the botton I had to put the cute little stamps from the set on the tag also. I used my Cropadile to put an eyelet in the tag and put in on the ribbon around the neck of the jar.
For the top I cut out the circles with the Slice. Stamped the cookie sheet on there. The Warm Greetings was 1 stamp but being their clear stamps I cut the words apart and put them on the stamp block.

I colored it in with Copic Markers and added some Stickles to the snow on the trees and ground. Then I took distressing ink over the top of it.

The First Thanksgiving (my hubby thinks I have way too Much time on my hands)

Well this whole little project started when I found this post on Split Coast Stampers on how to make a Mayflower ship. You can see the post HERE I though oh I can make that and use the SUInk stamps and make little people around it.

Well I made the ship and wanted it bigger. So I scanned it into the Pazzles and made some changes to it and in larged it. I used distressing ink on it to try to make it look more really. I made the sail and thought it was a good place for the Boat stamp and I used Distressing Ink on that also. Then I made the Stamp the Pilgrims and Indians and thought oh look at the wonderful food stamps that I'm not using.

So I was trying to figure out how to make a table outta paper for the food to set on. Well what I came up with was covering a empty cigarette pack with paper and I used wooden kabob holders for the legs I just cut them done and used some distress ink on them and the the table top . So I stamp the rest of the images and cut them out I stamped some of them twice so I could layer them. I made bases for all the items just folded about a 1/4 strip of paper in a triangle to stand them all.

Stamps: SUInk Bountiful Harvest, Leaf it to Me, and Giving Thanks
