Table-Top Nativity

Here is a project I'm planning for a class this month-it can be either a card or a table top decoration-or both.  It fits in the Small Open End envelope and uses Windsor knot DSP.  I used Chocolate Chip Ink on Sage Shadow Paper.  The Paper is 6" high and each panel is 3.25" wide.  I am going to make these to send to a few special people in my life, I really hope some customers sign up for this class.

WALL HANGINGS

These are small wall hangings I made-all SU products except the wood they are on.  They we very quick and easy, both are watercolored with watercolor crayons and aqua painter.  I drilled the holes and just hammered in the eyelets they couldn't be set but they aren't going anywhere.

Christmas countdown

Here is my countdown to Christmas, I used an oval plaque from the craft store and wooden ovals, the edge is painted with crackle paint-this was my first experience with that.  It was a bit of a pain the wood had to be sanded, sealed then painted. The oval is about 20x12 so I had to use two sheets of DSP to cover the front. The edge of the oval is beveled so I couldn't trace it-I rubbed a lead pencil around the curves to make a line to cut-then made a rough cut, pasted the paper down the used a craft knife to remove the overage.  I then sanded and distress the edge.  The little dots in the vinyl didn't stick to the backing and I had to pick each one off the transfer paper-ugh!  the black stand is from that giant store that has every thing and was $3.89 or so.  This is an amazing project much cuter in person, it did add up to be about $45.00 to make.  The plaque was about 11.80 with coupon, decor element 24.95, paint, sealer, paper, little ovals were 3.25.  I still have to make the rest of the numbers-so I had better finish this!

Stamp-a-Stack

This is the 3-D project for the stamp-a-stack!

Stamp-a-Stack

These are the five cards for The Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack.  I have changed the Mr. Twigster card since the initial draft-I like this one much better.  I hope you do too!  These cards will hopefully be simple enough to finish quickly 3 of each.

Cello topper

Here's a little cello bag full of those fancy new m&ms-who doesn't love these top notes!  

One more for This Thanksgiving

Here is one more water colored card from this stamp set-this one is my favorite-it does use retired ribbon but the ribbon matches this current paper so nice!

Happy November!

Happy November-  Wow October was amazing!  Our Phillies won the World Series-and we got to be there!  We have had season tickets for several years-my husband and son have bee diehard fans their whole lives.  Yesterday was Halloween-my son's 16th birthday and we spent the day at the Phillies World Series Parade!  I think my son must be the Luckiest Boy on the Planet!  Here is a Thanksgiving card to show how grateful I am to live in such a wonderful world!  Aqua Painters and Water color crayons-sponge and basic brown ink!
