Sweet Santa Dresses Using Dress Up Framelits

 How sweet is this Ms. Clause frame?

I just got my new framelits, Dress Up, and I am totally in love with this tool!  I have been making all kinds of dress cards and frames, but I had the idea to do three different dresses.  A girl's gotta have options.

Ms. Clause get's three options, all of them fancy in it's own way.
 Here are some close ups of the dresses.
 Do you notice the pearl necklace?
How about the big red stone on this one?

It's  a great gift for the woman who has everything and likes to decorate for the holidays.  The cost is $25.00.  Email me or message me your order!

Thanks for looking.

Family Frame for Thanksgiving

One of my holiday decorations this year is going to be this lovely Family frame.  I think it ties right into the colors of Thanksgiving and fall.  The burlap frame just screams fall, too!

If you would like one of these frames, send me an email or message me.  I'd be happy to help you.  $20.00.  The colors are also customizable for your decor.  It would make a great hostess gift for Thanksgiving.  It would also be a great gift for someone this upcoming holiday season!

Let me know if I can help you.


Crazy for Cupcakes and The Friday Mashup

This week on the Friday Mashup the ladies gave us a color challenge of  using Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, and Basic Gray.  Or we could make a card with cake.  Or we could mash-it-up and make card in those colors and a cake.

This is what I came up with.  I saw a card with the window in the front.  I really liked that style.  I made one other card with a larger opening, but this time I used a smaller opening to match better with the size of the stamp.  I also cut out a cabana colored frame around the opening.

Across the front I have a curry strip with the message "Happy Birthday" across the front in the cabana color.

Inside, I added a white panel with the stand of cupcakes in the center.  I colored the cupcakes in cabana and curry cherries (I figured they're the Mt. Rainier cherries!) The bases are colored in Crumb Cake.
Here's a view of the inside.

I think it's quite charming.

Too Kind Dynamic Duos!

 This week I used the challenge over on Dynamic Duos to create this card.  Their challenge this week was to use the colors Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum.  Yes, I think I will!

I created this card, which I got from one of the wonderful blogs I follow.  The creator of the card created an opening in the front of the card with the framelits and then had a piece crossing the front of the card and opening.  I loved the idea so I used it to do the same thing on this card.

I started with a piece of Smoky Slate.  I used the framelit to create a window in the front of the card.  I lined the inside of the card with a piece of Whisper White.  I used my Too Kind set, which I love, to create these beautiful two toned flowers.
 Across the front of the opening, I added the sentiment, "Sending Good Thoughts your way." I stamped that in Perfect Plum.  Added it to piece of slate, and added a plum ribbon.

I am quite pleased with it!

Your Choice Class



 I know it has been forever since I've offered a class.  I really wasn't sure of a direction I wanted to head.  So I am offering it all to you!

I have the coffee set of cards listed above.  The bottom two cards are basically the same, and inside the card is a pocket for a gift card!  So fun.  I love this little set.  $10.00 for this one.

Then I have a sweet little 4 card set of Christmas cards.  Inside is a matching sentiment.  So fun and simple and sweet!  I love it!

Here are the other two.  Each of these cards has a little something extra on the front.  Most of it takes about an hour to dry (we'll do this set first).  If you want more, you can make multiple sets.  You can't really see it in the pictures, but each of the top white layers is embossed in something that matches the image on the front.

$10.00 for this set.

Finally, back by popular demand, I am offering the little notebooks again.  I got 8 elegant black, white, and red note pads.  We'll decorate the front with a little dress, and this will make a great little gift for a co-worker or a stocking.

You will want several of these.  Trust me!

These little notebooks will be $5.00 each.

I will offer this class twice.  One will be on November 15th at 5:00.  The second time I have to offer is November 22nd at 5:00.  When you RSVP for the class, you need to let me know what you would like to make, and how many of that set/product you want.  It's not too early to start holiday planning.

I hope to create with you soon!

Festive Flurry

The Dress Up framelits weren't the only new set of framelits I got.  I also got the Festive Flurry bundle. and this is my first card using the products!  I also got the stack of DSP.  This is one of the sheets in the pack.  Very easy to use and it makes the card gorgeous!  I stared with Smor of ky Slate later.  Next is layer of Bermuda Bay, then the DSP.  Then I have the 2nd biggest snowflake, stamped in Bermuda Bay.  Then there's a glitter snowflake, and then Island Indigo stamped on Pool Party and sprayed with the smooch spray.  There's a rhinestone brad, and each layer is popped up.  The banner is from Four the Holidays, stamped on Whisper White in Bermuda Bay and I curled the sides of the banner a bit.

Really Good Greetings and Dress Up Framelits!

 How much am I loving these framelits???

You can tell by the number of projects I made this weekend using the framelits!

I had these big pink cards from one of those cheap set of cards and envelopes.

I added a layer of Crumb Cake, and then used my other nestibles to cut out a Chocolate Chip scalloped frame, an oval white layer, and a white dress stand.  The dress stand might be a different brown to make it stand out a bit more.

Then on each card I added a different dress and embellishment.  Each card has the same sentiment on the outside and inside it reads "Happy Birthday."
Here's a pretty pink, floral dress with a pink ribbon belt and a pink flower.  
 And a pretty brown patterned dress with a pink ribbon belt and a white flower with a pink center.
 Here's a floral pink dress with a white and pink polka dotted petty coat and diamond button number.
Inside each is the birthday message and a pocket to add a gift card!  What a great way to give a gift!!!

If you'd like a card or even a few, email me or send me a message.  I am happy to help fill your gift card giving needs.  Lots of color and patter styles available.

I'll be taking these to Feja's in Gaithersburg!
