 Designer Series Paper: Be of Good Cheer,  

Stamp Sets: Chock Full of Cheer & Priority Mail (hostess)

Winter Frost Embossing Folder, Big Shot,

Merry Heat Embossing!

I started working on a Christmas quilt years ago...

I'm now at the "must get it quilted" phase and 

I love the red and green combination.  

The Real Red and Gumball Green set on 

Whisper White cardstock make 

the perfect Christmas combo!  

Using the Daydreams Medallions Stamp Set, Versamark

and the white embossing powder 

I created the great floral patterns using heat embossing. 

(Look closely and you will see three layers 

under the "NOEL" sentiment.)

Then using the Floral Frame Framelits Dies 

and the Big Shot, 

I cut each layer and then stacked 

them together on Dimensionals.

The Noel Sentiment is from the 

Greetings of the Season Stamp Set and 

was stamped in Real Red and punched with a circle punch.

I added rhinestone on the curves of the "N" and 

on the first flower layer.

The Whisper White layer was embossed with the 

Argyle Textured ImpressionsEmbossing Folder.

(My apologies - this ribbon was in 

my stash so I can't tell you where it originates)

Enjoy!

A Cute Flower Treat

Just dropping a quick note to share a sneak peek of a cute treat I did for a friend. I'm creating a Sweet Treat Gift Set for her and this fun flower will be included.

I used the SU! Stamp Sets: Perfect Punches (W#117022 - C#120516) and Itty Bitty Bits (W#117056 - C#120060) along with the Curly Label Punch (#119851) for the tag stamping the sentiment of "My Friend" in Certainly Celery Classic Ink (#105217) and the accent flower in Daffodil Delight Classic Ink (#119667) on Whisper White Cardstock (#100730). It was attached to the filled 1"x 8" cello bag (#124134) with the 1/4" Certainly Celery Grosgrain Ribbon (#109031).

The Daisy was created using the Big Shot (#113439), Daisies #2 Die (#114520) and Daffodil Delight Cardstock (#119683). Two sets of flower layers were created and stacked then curled to form the flower. A Stampin' Jewel Rhinestone (#119246) was added to the center for additional detail.
