This stamp set is so amazing because it works for all three holidays! We combined it with the Among the Branches embossing folder to create some gorgeous cards this weekend! If you haven't been to one of my classes- you should come-- we have fun, make some pretty stuff, and always have tea and treats! The toughest one was this Halloween one with a brayered background! It's pretty neat though-- you just use a brayer to add color to the embossing folder (the side with the Sizzix printed on it) and then run it through... This pretty card is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving. The gold thread adds a nice delicate touch to the card, as does the wooden actin! I loved the use of the Washi tape and the little reindeer clip! I used Tip Top Taupe as my card base color and I think it worked well! This last card is my favorite- the natural card base, the Mossy Meadow inked sentiment, the Merry Moments DSP, and the gorgeous Mossy Meadow striped cotton ribbon! It feels luscious!!! I'm not really one for a rustic looking Christmas card but I really love this one!!!
Happy crafting, Melissa

Isn't this a cute stamp set? It's the one that coordinates with the Hello December Project Life pack and I am so excited to get my hands on that kit soon! The cards look like this: I love the combo of red and mint macaroon. And I love the concept behind "Decemeber Daily" projects like this... You document all the fun stuff in December so that instead of focused on the pressure of a perfect Christmas you revel in the imperfect month and the prefect reason we celebrate it. A few "done" pages are here: And for me the best part is you go day by day so it forces me to take pictures even on weekdays and in our books we chronicle the naughty life of our Elf!
Want to join me? Come to my class on November 15th and walk away with a complete album ready to slot your photos in! You can document anything- favorite decorations, recipes, Santa visits... https://www.facebook.com/events/418835668320825/ Hope to see you soon! And if you join the class you get access to a master list of things to document -- to get you started-- and a Facebook group challenge to win prizes! Happy crafting, Melissa I am co-hosting a kids' craft table at a craft fair on the 17th and I wanted each round of kids to make a simple card and a treat bag! This one is Halloween themed and filled with what else-- candy corn! This next bag is super simple but requires some sponging and a stamp I carved using some tools from the art store (think old school linoleum cutting!) We decided to do two rounds of Halloween, one round of Thanksgiving and then a "Frozen" round... This one for Thanksgiving is fun because they get to use the Big Shot to emboss the bag and a circle punch! The final treat bag will hold those yummy melty mints and is "frozen" themed... It will allow them to learn how to cut a banner by hand-- super simple!! Do you have kids? Bring them by the Island Craft Guild show at the Omar Shriner Temple in Mt. Pleasant on October 17th! And if not-- you can make these too! Consider a private class-- I can even do it via Facebook!!
Happy crafting, Melissa I try not to be an alarmist about Christmas coming but I do love the idea of prepping ahead of time so I can actually enjoy the month of December. My birthday, my mother in laws birthday, and our wedding anniversary also falls during that magical month so preparation is key- I try to get Christmas gifts lined up now and my cards too! So in that "a little pressure now so no pressure then" mode-- I'll be posting inspirational projects each week until Christmas. This first set of inspiration comes from an online convention that I'm participating in this rainy weekend! There is SO much you can do with our Project Life cards and making cards is one of them! Ronda Wade designed a few cute holiday ones from the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 kit! Behold- fast cards that look fancy! Would you like to order this and make it? I only added some twine and cardstock! The Seasonal Snapshot kit is $16 and the Accessory kit is $13! You can bundle it all with the stamp set (#140308) for only $38.25! Make sure to check out my online store-- you can find this easily in the Holiday Catalog? Want a catalog? Let me know! Happy crafting, Melissa |
