Christmas Tree Bear
Hello Everyone, I wanted to share another of the cards that I made using the Holiday Bears stamp set that was just released today on the I Brake for Stamps website. If you are a bear person, you’re going to love this set!
I used my Letraset Promarkers to color it in and then I added Glossy Accents to the Baubles and Dazzling Diamonds to the boot cuffs and star to bling it up a bit.
The paper collection is the new Bo Bunny “Blitzen” Collection pack. The Cherry Blossoms, Open Roses, self-adhesive pearls, silk ribbon and snowflake charm all came from Wild Orchid Crafts.
Here’s the video:
This set comes with 6 bears that are full of fun Christmas charm each in different costumes. Take a look below…

It’s a happy Wednesday around here today! I hope your day is going fabulous as well! If not, I hope this little card brings a smile to your face. I thought I would give you a little sneak peek of a soon-to-be-released Christmas Bear stamp sheet from IBFS. I did hear through the grape vine that it will be released later this week! *squeal* It’s such a fun, cute set. I know you’ll want to be on the look out for that.
The card measures 6″x6″. I have created a background pattern using the Merry Christmas/Balls stamp; which I’ve embossed with clear embossing powder. You can see it better below.
I added some subtle shimmer spray just to add a little somethin’-somethin’. For the stamped layer, I’ve used the Labels 1 nestie and have edged around it using silver Martha Stewart glitter glue. I think it made the image “pop” a bit more. 
I’ve used my Letraset Promarkers to color in the image and then chalked around it using a soft green/grey chalk. The wooden tree embellie and the 5mm rhinestones came from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Christmas Cards – Swap on ‘the Beach’
Hello Lovelies, I have 3 cards to share with you today. They are all Christmas cards that I created for a swap that I’m involved in over at the ScrapBeach. I was to create 6 cards that were identical and I will *fingers crossed* get 6 different cards in return. I signed up for 3 sets, so in exchange for the 18 cards I made, I’m really looking forward to getting 18 cards sent back to me. I’ll let you know when they arrive and will share them all with you. The theme was Thankgiving, Thankful, or Christmas. Since most of us send out many Christmas cards, I thought I’d stick with that theme.
Two are pretty simple, but the last one (although it looks simple) took HOURS to make for some reason. Most of that time is spent just figuring out what your going to do, and then setting it all up to cut in one swoop on my Cricut. Hope you enjoy seeing them.
I used my Cricut Expression 2, my Gypsy and the Create-a-Critter cartridge for this one. I cut the reindeer and it’s layers at 3″.
More info is in the video below.
I’ve used the Simple Stories 25-Days of Christmas papers for this one and the one below. I love this paper line!
Too Adorable!
Delight in the Day…
Hi Everyone, happy Wednesday to each of you; I hope you are having a good week. Its lovely weather here in Michigan as the cooler weather has finally moved in and the Maple trees start to turn lovely hues of reds, oranges, and yellows. It’s my favorite season of the year. I’ve already been to the orchard and have been baking lots of yummy Fall goodies for my family and friends. Last night I made Apple Crumble/Crisp for dessert and it was soooo good. Ahhhhh, Autumn!!!
So, that brings me to my card share for today. I’m playing along with the IBFS challenge that starts today; which is “Fall” (you can see it here). I submitted a scarecrow card – (super cute image), but wanted to create with my new Cornstalk Scene stamp that I just got from I Brake for Stamps…it was nagging me to color it! :) I always enjoy using my Promarkers and this stamp is such an amazing Autumn stamp that it called for some relaxing coloring time.
Here is a closer look at the Cornstalk Scene stamp

Merry Christmas
I would like to wish each of you a truly wonderful Christmas. I hope you are able to make lots of special memories with those whom you hold dear! The special gift of CHRISTmas is what makes the day so special!
I did a lot of baking this week so haven’t been in my craft room for too long. I do have a new mini album to share with you but will share that in another post after Christmas. I wanted to share one of the things I made for each of our neighbors – homemade shortbread. (The cling film that I used is tinted, so the details show better IRL). I make this every year but what I really love about it is the celtic clay mold that I bake it in. It holds special memories each year for the girls and I.
I thought I would share these photos with you that I snapped yesterday. Picture every tree, every branch, every fence all with this lovely icy covering. So unusual and so breathtakingly pretty!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Big Crafty Hugs to Each of You!
