Winter Birthday

Hi everyone, I hope your Christmas was as wonderful as mine was. We had a very busy few days but things have slowed down and I can get back to stamping. Christmas eve was my father in law birthday and I'm showing it to you today.

I used the Cardinal on Branch. I used Copic markers to color the image and Spellbinder dies to cut out the image and added a green mat. The kraft paper was stamped with the Birthday Multi Greeting and Coco ink. the red layer was stamped with the Birthday Sheet Music. I added a button and twin was the finishing touch.

On the inside I used kraft paper and the Birthday Wishes Greeting  and I stamped the Pine Bough in the corner.

And on the back I used  a simple  Script Hand Stamped.

And don't forget the Winter Wonderland challenge.


Have a Wonderful day,

Janett

Christmas Gift Card Holder

Good morning all, I need some gift card holders so I could finish up my gift wrapping. This is what I came up with simple but cute.

The red card stock is 7 1/2 x 3 1/2 and scored at 1/2 inch and 4 inches. 

                                                                                                       The kraft card stock is 10 x 3 1/4,  scored at 4 inches and 8 inches.

I stamped the Interlocking Snow Background and white ink.

 I cut a piece of the kraft card stock with a Spellbinder die and stamped the Small Merry Christmas with Coco ink and added a red line by tracing inside the die with a distress marker. The punched snowflake is MS.

The kraft layer was stamped with Splatter Background and white ink then stamped the Interlocking Snow background in the Coco ink.

This is how the inside looks.

I'm off to work on some more Christmas preparations.

Have a wonderful day,

Christmas Gifts

Hi all, I have had a busy weekend, my friend and I got some Christmas gifts finished and I thought I would share.

A few months age we made Vanilla, Lemon and Coconut Extract. Well we were starting to bottle them up and the Vanilla smells wonderful and taste great to I have used some of it in the cookies I made. The Lemon is wonderful I have not cook with it yet but the smell just makes me want to dab a little behind my ears. Then the Coconut it just did not work at all it was just straight  alcohol. We had to pour that one out. We wanted a third bottle to add to the gift set so we made some Vanilla Sugar. This one was a winner.

This is the way we decorated the bottle that I found on Amazon.

I'm very happy with the way they came out, I think they will make a cute gift set.

 

We used larger bottles for the Vanilla Extract.

We used burlap on all the bottles and Tear-ific-tape to attache the labels.

We added a circle of the burlap to the top of the jar. 

Here is some links Vanilla 

                            Lemon

                            Sugar

I hope this gives you some ideals for your Christmas gifts.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Hi all, I have been a busy little bee this week. Christmas cards are in the mail and I have been working on some gifts this week I will show them soon. Friday I  baked Monster cookies I love these cookies you can find the recipe Here. It was my mother in laws 79 birthday and we took them to her with a birthday card, when you ask here what she wants for a gift she all ways says nothing but I think she like her cookies.

I have started making some tags for my Christmas gifts I thought I would show them to you today.

For this tag I used the smallest part of the Woven Plaid and black in. Then I used a gold pen to add some sparkle. The main image is the cute Joyful Christmas Mouse. Copic markers were used to color the image.

For this one I used the Polka Dot Background with white ink. I used part of the Playful Penguins Postage.

 The Interlocking Snow Background and white ink makes the background. The Tiny Snowman was stamped with Coco ink and colored with Copic markers. I used the background stamp and Coco ink to stamp the snowflakes.

The background on this one was done just like the last tag. I stamped the Simple Snowman and colored with Copic markers then fussy cut. He was attached with foam tape.

And last I used the smallest part of the Woven Plaid and green ink to make this checked pattern paper. The Triple Holly was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. This was attached with foam tape. The red and white Polka strip is Decorative Tape.

Have a Wonderful day,

Boxed up Snowman

By: Janett Ray

Janett's Stamping Place

Hi everyone were starting to warm up a bit here we should reach 48, I feel so bad for the people in New York that are getting so much snow. All this talk of snow had me thinking about snowmen.

I bought the Gift Box Punch Board by We are Memory Keepers at the first of the year and have not even tried it out. Well  Craft Horders Anonymous challenge this week is boxes so I thought I would give it a try. I made three boxes 8x8 start line M, diagonal M, 2  6x6, start line S, diagonal S, and 10x10 start line L, diagonal L. On the Large and Medium box I stamped the Large Filigree Snowflake   (by DRS designs) with white Color Box ink and clear glittered embossing powder. I could not get it to show up in any of the pitchers but it looks really nice. After stamping the boxes I scored and folded them. For the buttons on the large and medium boxes I used office supply brads that I heated and dipped in black sparkle embossing powder. I opened the boxes and poked holes for the brads then closed them up. The eyes and mouth are demensional stickers and the nose it a paper triangle. Between the head box and the hat box is a black circle that I bent and shaped to look like a hat brim then I added 1/2 inch Tear-ific tape and red glitter for the band. The snow flake is a brad that was heated and diped in clear sparkle embossing powder. The scarf is 1/2 inch Tear-ific tape covered in red glitter. ( you can find more about this technique Here) I used the 1/2 inch Tear-ific Tape to stick the boxes together.

Don't forget to join in the DRS Designs Color challenge this week.

We have three birthday's in December so I thought I should get started on these cards.

For this card I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge   and the color challenge at Splitcoaststampers.

I stamped the Simple Berry Branch with Versa Mark and embossed with silver embossing powder. A Spellbinder die was used to cut out the image. I colored the berry's with a BG 45 Copic marker. Then I used Brushable Glue from Sparkle N Sprinkle and covered them with teal glitter. The Happy Birthday is from the Birthday Multi Greeting it was embossed with silver embossing powder and cut with a Spellbinder die. Along the edge I used 1/8 inch Tear-ific Tape and teal glitter. For the strip I stamped part of the Open Plaid on a angle with Versa Mark Ink and embossed with silver embossing powder. Then I added 1/8 inch Tear-ific Tape and the teal glitter. It's layered onto silver paper. I punch a silver circle and used Brushable Glue on a button and covered it with the teal glitter.

The sky was air brushed and everything was colored with Copic markers. I used glitter glue and a white jell pen for stars/snow. Once I finished with the scene, I cut it out with a square die then added some layers with more square dies. 

On the silver background layer I randomly stamped the Splatter background and used white embossing powder. Then I used the star from the Three Wisemen Peace and stamped it three times and embossed with white embossing powder. The blue dot in the center is Smooch. I stamped the Small Merry Christmas  with blue ink and cut it with a tag die. It's attached with foam tape. I stamped the Christmas Fence and colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. I used the ideal  of a Bindi Frame, I used the red line tape on the ends and had the middle to bow out.

Snow Storm

I made this card for the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge.

I started by stamping the Simple Snowman and covering him with a mask. Then I air brushed on BG78, B99, BV29. I removed the mask.  I colored the snowman with some Booo. Dampened a  section of Terry Cloth with Blending Soloution hold for 3 sections then move to the next section. Makes a great snow storm.

The Interlocking Snow Background  and the In the Meadow  were stamped with Distress Ink Peacock Feathers.

And here is the colors.

Have a great day,
