Merry Christmas Set!

Hi Everyone, just posting a little set I made for one of Dh's co-workers.

I had made a set for my sister for her birthday awhile back (which I will post later)and Dh saw it and wanted me to make something for one of the women in the office.I couldn't make the same as I did for my sister(you will see why),so this is what I came up with.I had this little notepad I had bought at Michaels and it had the initial R and was perfect. Iddin't like the cover on the notepad, so

took it off using it as a template and made another.I used some yummy paper from S.E.I.I also made this little box to hold some yummy Lindor chocolates.

The tut for the box can be found here>>>>SCS.

It called for shipping tags and didn't have any so modified it a bit.

Of course the set wasn't complete without a card.

Hi again,Its time for another Stamptacular challenge and
the challenge for today is ......Christmas with a Twist !
You have to create a card or project for Christmas with no reds
or greens.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for this challenge, but I had pulled several papers that I could use for this challenges that didn't have the traditional
colors of red and green.
I played around with them for awhile,but couldn't get it to work for me and then I saw on my desk several challenges I had printed off I had wanted to try.
So I took the white challenge from SCS where you could only use white card stock and one color of ink.Everything seem to click into place for me
and I am quite pleased with out my card turned out.
I am loving the look of all white.
It also qualifies for the OCCC challenge this week.

For my white creation, I took a piece of white Cs and ran it thru my CB using A SU folder" Petals A Plenty", and then scored another piece of white CS, half inch apart with my Score it.I made the flower using the Nesties Poinsettia.
I stamped the sentiment with silver ink and then trimmed around
everything with a silver pen.Added some white pearls and a piece of white offray ribbon.Bow made using a bowmaker.

Supplies:
Paper:White CS
Stamps:Verve
Ink: MS
Accessories:Nesties poinsettia, nestie circles,Offray ribbon, MM pearls, silver pen, MS branch punch.

Hi and welcome back.

every month.
We meet once a month at my friend Kathy's house and make cards and we take turns bringing the dessert for the night.Its a fun night out and we learn
differents techniques.
I wanted to make them a little treat for christmas, so I made these cute little boxes and cards.I used the box found here>.>>2-5-7-10 Box.
I adapted the box a bit to hold my treats.I made it a bit taller with out using the
fold down flap.I rounded off the top of the sides on the boxes.
I added some hot chocolate packages,Biscotti,candy canes and some
mint sticks.
I keep the cards fairly simple and used some SU cardstock and some
christmas paper from a couple of years ago.I use Verve stamps and cut out the tree and holly and pop dotted them.I just Love my Verve stamps.
I made the little tags using nesties tags.Added some $store rhinestones.
They went over very well as all the women loved them.

Weaving....with ribbon!!

Weaving with Stamptacular.......
The challenge for this week ... to create a project that incorporates weaving
somewhere.
When I saw what the challenge was for this week, I was afraid it was gonna be time consuming and hard to do. I wasn't sure what to make, so when I am stuck , I always go to SCS and do a search and this is what I found.
I saw a card on there with this ribbon weaving and it lead me to this site for a tut on >>>>>>Ribbon Weaving
It was so easy and fast to do.I created a wreath with my weaving, added a bow and some rhinestones and .....Voila !
After having the wreath made, I searched thru my papers and found this sheet of PP from SandyLion.I've had this paper for some time and it matched my wreath perfect.The berries on the paper was a little dull, so I highlighted them a little with a Tombow marker.
I used a Fancy Tags for my sentiment.
I borrowed the tags from my friend( Thank You Kathy), since I done have them yet.
I have them on order and hopefully have them soon.

Supplies:
Paper:SandyLion
Stamps:Clear stamps
Ink: SU
Accessories:Offray ribbon, $store rhinestones,Circle nesties,rectangle nesties.

Star Of Wonder......

Welcome back to MoJo Monday and a sketch to kick start your week.
Julee has designed another awesome sketch.
I found this sheet of shimmer cardstock in my pile, I believe it maybe
Bazzill, and decided to work with it. I kept my card very simple to show case the star.I added a few pearls and some white ribbon to finish it off.
I seldom keep my cards so simple, but with the shimmer CS, I didn't want to cover it up. I am loving the look of it.
I embossed the star and sentiment with white EMP.

Paper: Bazzill shimmer CS

Stamps: Verve

Ink: Versamark

Accessories:Ranger EBP, Offray ribbon, MM pearls,MS border punch.
