Bon Appetit Coaster framed art

 I created another coaster framed art. I took an inexpensive frame purchase at Ikea. I removed the thin plexi-glass and attached some window screen. Took one of those paper coasters  stamped on an image, sponged the edges and punched holes in each corner(using the crop-a-dile). Then I attached it with black brads to the window screen. Making another cute gift idea. I made 2 of these. One will go to my neighbor Kris and the other is for a gift swap tonight at my upline meeting.

Snowman tag card

Here is my latest card creation.

It is a little hard to see but the base of the card is wheeled with real red using the jolly wheel. The snowman from Jolliest Time of the Year is stamped in Sahara Sand.  The Snow Swirled stamp set provided the words. I used Creamy Caramel around the edge of the tag, curled up the edge and applied a few tears to give it an older look.  

Diet Coke Snowflake ornament

Using your craft and rubber scissors you can cut apart a Diet Coke can. With our awesome BIG SHOT that cuts thru over 50 items and the snowflake die I cut 2 snowflakes(you need 2 cans) attached them with a dimensional and hung it with real red ribbon. It gives a shimmery snowflake to adorn your tree. 

Time to Create Clock

Is it time for you to create? 

With a little bit of vinyl and the Sizzix GoGo Boots I made this clock to hang in my craft room.

Winter Post Accordion file box

Hooray for me that I have such a great friend like Luann who is willing to provide me with the measurements to make an accordion file box.  With a little stamping magic, here is what I have come up with. 

Now I just need to make some hand stamped cards to fill it and it will make a great gift for someone. 

In case you are wondering the beautiful button in the center is made from the snowflake stamped in Riding Hood Red punched out with a 1" circle punch. 

Welcome Back Laura

This is the card I made to send Laura, my roomie from Convention. Her family has moved back to the Hampton Roads area. I am so glad to have her near by and look forward to stamping together.

 This image is from the Neighborhood jumbo wheel. I used the aquapainter to color it in.  

Snow Swirled ornament card

Here is an ornament card Luann and I created using Lenore's awesome idea for ornament toppers. The snowflakes are embossed to give the card some texture. When I look at these ornaments I think of the recessed glass ornaments I had on the tree when I was a little girl. If you look long enough at it you might just think the center goes in, too.

Regional make and takes.

Here are a few of my completed make and takes from the Va Beach Regionals. Each project uses cute embellishments. This 8-1/2" scrapbook page uses the snowflake from the Best Wishes & more stamp set. 

The tree comes from the Scandinavian Season set from the Holiday mini. I wasn't sure if I like this set at first, but after water coloring it, I realize how beautiful this image can be.

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Tomorrow is my son's birthday. Here is the card I made him. I really like using cupcakes for birthday cards. I think they are a great choice because who wouldn't like getting a cupcake on their birthday?

Snowmen Wishes Card

I made this card for a swap. On November 6 it was published on Stampin' Up! Stampers Showcase. 

Warm wishes ornament card

Tomorrow is the Stampin' Up! Regional in VA Beach. I made a few of these ornament cards to swap. Hopefully I can get some more swaps made tonight. This card opens up and down. I folded the cardsotck in half and cut the circle so there would be a hinge on top. The tab is only attached to the front of the card.

Snowman gift card

     

   I made this snowman gift card holder for a swap today. I am posting a cheat sheet, so you can make him too. His arms came from the Sizzix snowflake. His bodyis made from a 1-3/4", 2-1/2" and 3" circles. The rest of the shapes come from our line of punches. Don't forget to sponge around the white circles before putting him together. 

Winter Post

Last night we recreated this adorable card. It was definitely a group effect. Thank you Faith, Luann, Lorrie and Norma for your help and the needed supplies I did not have. I am think about framing this one. This is definitely a WOW card!

Happy Halloween

Wishing You a GHOULISH Day! Here is a cute halloween card made using Under the Stars. The candy corn was made by layering a 1/4" circle of white, 1/2' circle of Summer Sun, and 3/4 circle of Pumpkin Pie. Then you cut it into pie slice and you have your candy corn. I made the lollipop out of a portion of toothpick and 1/2 circle covered with glitter. The bag is 3/4" x 1" with elastic cord for the handle. 

Winter Post cards

Today my friend Lenore came over and we made these cards. We saw samples of these cards and just had to make them. The Winter Post stamp set makes for an awesome card. I can't wait to make the tag pictured in the Holiday Mini Catalog. 

Two Cool Dudes

This was the card I created for Stamp Camp this past weekend. I love snowman so it i no surprise that I choose to use Two Cool Dudes for my project. I would have to say Pacific Point is my favorite In Color. I find it to be a rich and vibrant color. 

Door prizes

Today is our 2008 Holiday Stamp Camp. Here are the door prizes that I made. 

I took an inexpensive frame purchase at Ikea. I removed the thin plexi-glass and attached some window screen. Took one of those paper coasters  stamped on an image, sponged the edges and punched holes in each corner. Then I attached it with black wiring to the window screen. Cute and simple.  

The next one  is a cute box of coasters. The box is made out of one

 sheet of paper cut, scored and wheeled. There are a dozen paper coasters that I stamped with Basic Black ink for snow man and Baja Breeze and Pacific point for the snow man. I also colored in the little features on the snowmen. 

I realize that the colors may bleed when these coasters are used but they are meant to be disposable. 

Welcome Sweet Little One

With a little paper and some punches you can create adorable shapes. I had originally made this card in pink. It can be found on my website: ginascardsandmore.stampinup.net then click on creative project. 

Season Of Joy

I saw this card on a blog and had to case it. It is truly a great one. I know it isn't Halloween yet and I am working on Christmas cards. With so many great sets I want to make a variety of Christmas Cards this year, so I am starting early. I totally cased this card. Okay I may have changed the brads. But it is basically the same.

This one is a little more time consuming. Using Season of Joy I stamped the image on Kraft and again on Whisper white card stock. I hand cut out the 3 flowers, square and tree. I punched out the snowflake with the 1" punch. Totally Cute! I just love this card.
