Delightful Decorations



My favorite new holiday stamp set has to be Delightful Decorations from the SU Holiday Mini Catalog. SU also offers an Ornament Punch that is perfectly designed for the 4 ornaments in this set. This makes cutting the ornaments out a snap because there is no cutting - just punching!! Once the punched ornaments are adhered to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional, it gives the card an elegant 3D look. The punch is a must!

Supplies:
Card stock: whisper white (card base), sahara sand (card layer)
Inks: real read (ornament) and chocolate chip (ornament, ornament hanger, and sentiment)
Stamp Sets (from the SU Holiday Mini): Delightful Decorations, p. 24 & Berry Christmas, p. 20
Stamp Set (from the SU Idea Book and Catalog): Season of Joy, p. 32
Ribbon (from the SU Holiday Mini): Sleigh Bells, p. 17

How I did it:
I literally just stamped, punched, adhered, tied, and applied.
Heres what I mean. I stamped the ornaments (on white; one in real red, one in chocolate chip), then the ornament hangers and the sentiment were stamped in chocolate chip on the sahara sand card layer. I punched the ornaments and then adhered the ornaments to the sahara sand card layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. I tied the ribbon and then applied the sahara sand card layer to the whisper white card base.

Christie & Carla's Shop Hop October 2009



Christie and I set out to go to the OKC craft show last weekend. Christie flew to Amarillo Wed. evening and we set out early Thu. morning headed to Oklahoma. Since we had 3-1/2 days, we decided to drive to Harrison, Ark. to visit the quilt shop where we have our quilt tops quilted. Our goal was to stop at as many Alco stores, quilt shops, and scrapbooking stores as possible. We also hit a few Target, Walmart, Hobby Lobby and Kohl's stores, a crafter's mall and a few junktique shops. Christie and I both ended up with new purses! It was a great weekend.

This is the quilt shop in Harrison.
