2012 Christmas Gifts

 


I made these 2 house shaped mini albums for my niece and a friend who both spent 1st Christmas in their new house. I had a kit for the one and the second one I bought blank chipboard houses and made my own. The first with the green chimney is the kit and I didn't want to have to cut around the chimney. So I use Tim Holtz distressed crackle paint in Peeled Paint and Clear Rock Candy and then I had even better idea for the second mini. I wanted to look like brick so I Tim Holtz distressed ink Red Door and then used versamark and clear embossing powder. I scored brick lines in the powder before I used the heat tool. I loved how it turned out.

Here is a video of the second mini and photos of the first mini.

2015 Christmas Cards

Hi Crafters, I wanted to share this year's Christmas cards I made. Each year I like to come up for 4 designs to make and sell. I made 350 of these cards which took me about a month. There was some major mass producing going on. I even recruited my sister to help me while I was visiting her over Thanksgiving. She was a big help with the "Happy Holidays" card.

So when I made just one of these cards, I thought these were simple and would be quick to mass produce, especially the " Happy Holidays" one. Wrong!!...HAHA The only one that was quick, was the snowman card. This card was made using this Stampin Up stamp set. I got the idea from Stampin Up, but added my twist. The others had too many steps. So my advice crafters, is when you want to mass produce cards, think twice what you may think that would be quick to make. Once I got my

Hi Everyone,  I went to an indoor rummage sale yesterday and was on a hunt for glass pieces to glue together to use for my crafting embellishments. I would see vids on YT on other crafters and they would be talking about their candy stations and I didn't know what they were talking about. So I looked up some vids and saw that a crafter's "Candy Station" was pretty containers holding embellishments  placed on together in an area. Which I think is a great idea if you have the space. I have a lot of embellishments packed away, I forget what I have. So I am in the process of creating my own calorie free Candy Station. Oh I might sneak a bowl of chocolate in there, after all what's crafting without a little chocolate!  I thought I can make mine own. So I dug through old boxes of things I got from grandmother and found old glassware. The 2nd photo is what I bought for a 1.00 at the rummage sale.
