Bella and Friends Christmas

Well, I'm back posting again, been busy with getting ready for the big Turkey day on Thursday.  We are going to have Lasagne, Garlic bread, salad and a dessert, nice simple and YUMMY!!  Requested by family, score!

I saw this cute card that Lorri Heiling made and I knew that I wanted to make this as my Christmas card to send to our Vets.  I think they will like it, I stamped the Pretty Kitty on the inside with a Christmas sentiment.



Here is what I used:

Stamp set: Bella and Friends, Hand Your Stockings
Thinlit: Pretty Pines, for the bow on the gift
Card stock: Real Red, Whisper White
DSP- retired
Ink: Always Artichoke, Real Red, Crumb Cake and Black Memento
Stitched Oval Framelits
Red Baker's Twine-retired
Red and Gold Glimmer paper

This is posting late as I recently updated my computer and was having a hard time finding my pictures!  Hopefully I can remember in the future where to find them!!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!!  Mary

Christmas Tags

Once again I used the Label me Pretty stamp set and coordinating punch, which makes it super easy to make tags, quickly.  I also used a tag set from last year to cut out the circle tag behind the Santa paper, which is retired.  I used the Stitched Framelits to cut it out and had it laying on my table, so easy peasy!


I used the Layering Oval Framelits to make the Label Me Pretty tag with Gold Foil.  The baker's twine is retired.

Thank you for coming by to see my creations, I appreciate it so very much!  Mary

Cookie Cutter Christmas

I've been trying to make some tags for my daughter to use, as she likes to make her Christmas gifts, which I think is wonderful!  She was busy canning this past summer when the vegetables and fruit were in season and plentiful too.  I've had some of her goodies and they are delicious too!

I decided to pull out this stamp set and give it a go, I think they turned out rather nicely too.


Here is what I used:

Stamp set: Cookie Cutter Christmas
Punch: Cookie Cutter Builder and Scalloped Tag Topper punch
Inks: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Black Memento
Card Stock: Real Red, Whisper White and Crumb Cake
Red Glimmer paper
Baker's twine-retired

These were really fun to make!  Mary
