Christmas card

In the next few days, I'll continue posting pictures of my Christmas cards from this year. Some of them may look familiar, as they were designed back in July for my Christmas in July open house.

Supplies: Wild Wasabi, Naturals White, & Whisper White cardstock; Certainly Celery & Rose Red designer series paper; vintage brads (silver diamond); Rose Red classic ink.

Free Make n' Take

At all of my December Open House events, we are making this gift card:I used textured Wild Wasabi & (regular) Whisper White cardstock, Real Red & Wild Wasabi ink; Real Red wide grosgrain ribbon, 1 1/4" circle punch, and stampin' dimensionals.

It's a super simple & quick card to put with a gift this Christmas season. Stay tuned for more card and project ideas. . .

*F*I*N*A*L*L*Y a new post!!!

I'm so sorry it's taken more than 6 weeks to come back to this blog. A lot has been going on, but excuses aren't what you're here for, so without further adieu . . . .

Here's the Christmas card from the Christmas Cards in the Mail kit:


This card was "cased" from one of my monthly scrapbooking magazines and altered just a tad. The base of the card is made from creamy caramel, cut from an altered template of the cased card. I used the slit punch to create the scallops, the 1/2" circle punch for the red gumdrops, and the 3/4" circle punch for the center peppermint. Red gingham ribbon ties the card closed.

I'm preparing information on Round 3 of my Stamps in the Mail program, so come back for more details. By the way, the *N*E*W* Stampin' Up Spring/Summer collection is coming out SOON!

Coasters

First of all . . . . I'M BACK!!!

I'm really working hard to get lots of samples ready to upload on this blog so that I don't go so long without blogging. Just be patient with me, though, as I'm moving NEXT WEEK into a new house.

Now, back to the stamping world of Kelly . . . .

I am working on projects for the last month of my Stamps In the Mail program, and decided I might have them make tile coasters. Even if they've made them before, I'm hoping to have a new "spin" on the idea with some interesting colors and designs.

Here's two coasters I (& a friend) stamped a long time ago . . .

Baby cards

It's inexcusable how long I've gone without blogging this month! My goal is to keep you up-to-date with new cards and projects several times a week. Ok, we'll see if that happens or not, right???
