AESTAMPS A LATTE

I love, love the Holiday Stocking Big Shot Die . I have made about 8 gift card holders with it so far, and have used different designer paper for each one.  A very fun project to make.  So far I have used the Frostwood Lodge DS paper and it works very well with this die.  The plaid design is perfect. RECIPE: STAMPS: Warmest of Wishes, Tags Till Christmas (inside pocket) PAPER: Frostwood Lodge DS, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler card stock ACCESSORIES: Holiday Stocking Die, Square Lattice Folder, Garden Green Ink, Silver Chunky Glitter, Cherry Cobbler Scalloped Ribbon, Vanilla Velvet Ribbon, Glimmer Brad, Tombo glue and paper piercing tool. Enjoy and have a great Thanksgiving Holiday celebration!  Annette

Today my dear dad turns the big "70"! Can't even really believe it.  He in no way looks or acts like he is entering the 70's.  He golfs, plays pickle ball and walks on his treadmill.  He lives in a beautiful home in Arizona.  Minnesota is just too far away to visit as much as I would like to. :)  So, here's to you, dad...Happy Birthday!!  Love you!  Annette

I love using the Silver Glimmer paper on the Stitched Stocking stamp set.  The little booties look so cute!  Add the jingle bells and you have a festive holiday card. :) RECIPE: STAMPS: Stitched Stocking and Family Reunion PAPER: Silver Glimmer paper, Letters from Santa DS, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip card stock INK: White Craft, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ink ACCESSORIES: Stocking Builder punch, Lace Ribbon Border punch, Stripes Emb. folder, Top Note Die, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, White embossing powder, Cherry Cobbler Scallop Ribbon, Jingle Bells, Twine and Dimensionals.

I found some little note books with pens at my local craft store and bought a bunch.  Here I decorated it with the LETTERS TO SANTA Designer Series paper and added a sparkling Christmas tree from the STOCKING ACCENTS Big Shot Die.   RECIPE: STAMPS: words are from "Bright Christmas" (retired) PAPER: Early Espresso, Real Red, Red and Silver Glimmer paper and Letters to Santa Designer Series ACCESSORIES: Snowburst Emb. folder, Stocking Accent Die, Brads, Dazzling Details glitter, Paper piercing tool, Early Espresso ink, Clear emb. powder (I embossed the words with clear to make it "water proof" and shinny!), silver (retired) string, and Nestabilities. Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Friday, and happy stamping!  Annette

Here is another card I made using the CHRISTMAS LODGE stamp set. I love the Red and Silver Glimmer paper (page 41 of the mini catalog).  I have been having a lot of fun with it.  Tomorrow I will share a note book I decorated and gave to my loyal stamping gals this week as part of their Christmas present from me.  I used lots of glimmer paper on it! :)  See you tomorrow!  Annette
