Sweet blog friends, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season and that your plans are all falling into place.  For me?  Not so much.  I mean, I am enjoying the holidays but plans falling into place are a wispy fleeting dream, lol.  Holiday time is crazy, kids call and need something every day, never enough time!!  Ah, but I enjoy it all any way.  Today I wanted to share a Christmas Card that has been on my mind.  Thankfully it worked out exactly how I envisioned which does not always happen.  I so wanted to use that teeny tiny ornament for a card but first I had to find a sentiment for it, which I pulled from a Christmas Our Daily Bread Designs set called Holiday Ornaments 2.

I needed a fairly large and symmetrical opening for the ornament (Spellbinders™ Holiday Tags) to hang, so I picked Spellbinders™ Blossom Tags and Accents.  From my card base, I simply cut the largest element then staggered the next smallest piece in the opening.  Lastly I anchored some ribbon on the left edge of the card over two scalloped edges cut using Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities.  I rarely decorate the insides of my cards, but since this one is see through or see into, I lined the back with a contrasting small print.  That little ornament is so very simple, but I really like it :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Holiday Ornaments 2
Paper: K and Company; Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80lb cover
Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities, Spellbinders™ Blossom Tags and Accents, Spellbinders™ Holiday Tags, Ribbon, Bead Landing Filigree, Pearl Brad, Recollections Pearls

Hope your holiday crafting is bringing you much joy!!  See you soon!

    Hi Becca, I looked at your itsy bitsy ornament today and thought it was so ironic that something as tiny as a handmade ornament could make such a beautiful and powerful statement. Yes, Glory to God in the Highest is truly what we all should be reflecting on this Christmas season. As always the design on your card is quite stunning. Blessings of joy, love and peace to all.

Oh , I mean , It’s the most wonderful time of the year…… : ) (Some how it makes me feel better) …. Blessings ….. DeniceReplyCancel

    Becca this is just stunning. What a beautiful way to use a little Spellbinders die. We often look at the little ones and think they are only useful for a small greeting or just not used at all. This idea has really made me look at their usage more closely, thank you for that.
    As it is Christmas and I am not, physically, able to give you a gift I would like to give to you a gift of gratitude. Gratitude for sharing your God given talent with us throughtout the year.

Hi there blog friends!  I dug into my Waltzingmouse Stamps stash to create a card for today using the Seasonal Remedies set.  I paired it up with some dreamy new (to me) paper and a stack of Spellbinders.  By the by, today’s a pretty special day for those of us involved at Waltzingmouse Stamps!  Why?  Well, Waltzingmouse is being featured over at Moxie Fab World for their Stamp of Approval!!  Oh, congrats Claire, this is an amazing honor :-)  In the meantime, be sure to stop over at Moxie Fab World and see the sets that have earned a Stamp of Approval.    If this is one of the sets you love, then you need to hurry, hurry, hurry over and put your name on the list to try to win it!

For my card, I layered Spellbinders Label Twenty Three on the bottom of my medallion then added Spellbinders Labels Seventeen followed by Spellbinders Classic Squares LG.  I’ve had this unique trim by Bead Landing (Michaels) in my stash for quite a while – I’m glad it found a home today.

I absolutely fell in love with the paper over at Riddersholm Design, it has to be the most luscious Christmas paper I’ve played with this season – the pictures don’t nearly do the rich colors justice.  I loved the heavy feel of the double sided cover weight cardstock and everything within the collection matched.  Take a peep here for a gallery using more of the Riddersholm paper. 


Since the paper matched so wonderfully I made one of the Spellbinders Square Bracket Edge Boxes to show it off.  I love that box!  It’s so small (favor sized) and cute!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Seasonal Remedies
Paper: Riddersholm Design – The Night Before Collection
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink:  Chestnut, Dark Red
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Twenty Three, Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, Spellbinder Classic Squares LG, Spellbinders Square Bracket Edge Box, ribbon, buttons

Thanks for stopping by today, I’ll be back soon – smooches!

    Becca……….please have your doctors run a CA125 blood test. My dear friend suffered with severe hip pain for months before we finally insisted they do the blood test. She had ovarian cancer it turned out. The test is not expensive….about $75.00 if your insurance won’t pay for it. It will rule out the cancer OR will let them know they are looking at the pain in the wrong way. You will be in my prayers. OBTW…..my friend has gone through chemo and is in remission. HUGS to you……ReplyCancel

Santa Box
Believe it or not, I’ve had this little box ready to go but created drama for myself this past weekend when I forgot about a Christmas party I needed to go to – I thought I had another week to prepare!!  I stamp with a group of ladies that have been getting together each month for about the past ten years.  Panic!  No way I could miss our annual get together – it’s the highlight of the year!!   Hmmm…what do to for 12 gifts that have to be made within 24 hours?  As you can imagine, everything in my world came to a halt – I was on fire trying to get ready!  I wish I had taken pictures of the cute little reindeer boxes I made but I didn’t have time to make extra (grrr…..).  Of course I left with 12 little gifts that were given to me.  In my heart there is nothing sweeter than handmade.  I’m eating all sorts of cookies and goodies and sailing high from the joy of being with good friends.  Speaking of friends, so glad you could join me today.  This box is inspired by something I saw in my local quilt shop, and a box made with Spellbinders™ Square Petal Box Top  fit the bill – that’s what I used on the top (Santa’s cap).  The same die template was used along the bottom along with Spellbinders™ Wonky Rectangles for the buckle on his belt.  His face is made with Spellbinders™ Nested Hearts.  Every once in a while you have to make something that makes you laugh. . . I giggled over this . . . more than once.

I put together a video to show you how to make your own.  There’s a detailed supplies list at the end of the video!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Would love to see the reindeer too and imagine someone will have taken a picture of it at the party….they are irresistable! Know you had a great time at the party and lots of joy was spread around. Wishing you more of that and many thanks for all you do Becca to keep our spirits in check throughout the year. Sending you the same in return and much more.ReplyCancel
