Ornamental Christmas Blog Hop...


It's a new month and that means it's time for AnnaBelle Stamps blog hop! Now mind you I am the only DT member for AnnaBelle Stamps in the US so with the time change it's really Halloween! But I will pretend it's the 1st of November.... LOL! Today we are featuring Ornamental Christmas!

Now how can you go wrong with this great set?

My card was created using several of the sentiments from Ornamental Christmas! With my flower this would be impossible to fit into an envelope, sooooo I've created a box to coordinate with my card!
Be sure and check out the rest of the DT!

Wise Men still Seek Him!

Good Morning!
I have a tag and ornament to share with you this morning! This set was really easy to create! Lots and lots of silver EP!
The tag was cut out using my cricut! I stamped my images from Wisemen Ornament precut set and cut out the wisemen to pop them up!
I stamped the same images 3 times and cut them out with the the Heirloom Ornaments dies. I then popped up each layer to create dimension! That's it for me today! Be sure and check back tomorrow for the Rose challenge!

Deck the Halls...

Good Morning!
My granddaughter goes home today... we've had so much fun. She made a couple of cards, but really isn't all that interested... maybe when she gets a little older!
I thought I would share one of the cards I submitted to Heartfealt Creations , I didn't make the  team... but sure had fun trying! Their products are so amazing!

This is the inside... I love how this card turned out!


Card base is 5x5 crumb cake layered with cherry cobbler and deck the halls dp. The window was cut using HCD 708 window scene die.  Pinecones, berries and  sentiments were stamped from HCPC 3326 Holly Berry filler precut set.
Have yourself a super great day!
