AESTAMPS A LATTE

 Hello, crafty friends. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. It was a busy time at our home and I am thankful that our children were all able to be come home and spend time together.  It's Sunday, and that means we have a new challenge for you to play along with at Sunday Stamps! and here's what I made using the Christmas Season Bundle . I used my Stamparatus to quickly stamp several of the images using Evening Evergreen, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red to create a festive arrangement around my gold embossed sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set. I paired my stamped arrangement with the Painted Christmas 12" x 12" DSP and a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock embossed with the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder.    To make it more festive, I added a piece of Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic Ribbon and a few Wonderful Gems . Here's this weeks new color challenge at Sunday Stamps! To play along, simply follow the below  Sunday Stamps!  challenge guide...

 Hello, crafty friends! I am popping in to wish you a happy and joyous Thanksgiving celebration with your family and friends. May you find peace and happiness as we pause and give thanks for the many blessings given to each to us and as we remember those who are dear to our hearts and are no longer with us. I spy a new upcoming product from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog.  Any guesses as to what it is?  Hint: its green. I used the dies from the Blessings of Home Bundle which is part of the Heart & Home Suite.  It contains a wonderful collection of matching products with two beautiful bundles that you are going to want to add to your wish list! :) Happy Thanksgiving and blessings to you and yours!  Annette 

 Hello, crafty friends. Today, I have a few Christmas cards to share with you using the beloved Peaceful Cabin Bundle. I used the same layout for each card but used 6 different patterns from the Peaceful Place 12" x 12" DSP for each one. As a result, I will be able to make 72 Christmas cards just like this. :) Here's the first one I made using the dies to make a simple silhouette using Basic White cardstock. I love the simplicity of it. No stamping except for the sentiment yet it creates a cozy winter scene. Here's my second take. This time I embossed the trees with Shimmer White Embossing powder . This powder is retired now, but you could add any glitter you have to white embossing powder and get the same effect. And here's another example of the same card but for this one I used a piece of the Peaceful Place 12" x 12" DSP that has the silver embossed pine trees on it. And finally, for my last creation, I added a second die cut layer that was also em...

Hello, crafty friends. Today, I have a fun Christmas gift set to share with you using the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle with the Whimsy & Wonder 12" x 12" Specialty DSP. I actually made the gift bag first and loved it so much that  made a matching card for it. I have been saving or should I say hoarding (lol) this Blushing Bride snowflake piece of Specialty DSP and finally decided to create with it.   Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love peppermint. My favorite ice cream is Mint Chocolate Chip, my favorite specialty coffee is a Peppermint Mocha and I could go on and on. My point is that I have bought some peppermint flavored gifts for my family this year and this bag will be perfect to house some of them. :) I love these die cut peppermints from the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle dressed in Silver Foil Paper .  I also love the Wonderful Snowflakes.   What a fun accessory item!    This is an easy layout for you to CASE some/one of your Christmas c...
