Hello friends!  Where has the year gone?  Thanksgiving will  soon be upon us so today I have a super simple project to dress up your holiday table and help put the emphasis on giving thanks.

I created a super simple Silverware Pocket that would look great at each place setting.  (Or they would look cute to fill them up and place them all in a basket if you have a large family gathering and serve the food buffet style.)

I didn’t add the napkin behind the utensils so I could get a photo of the scored back but you can easily slip a napkin in there too and they’d be good to go!  Directions are here on my blog for creating this fun and easy pocket.  I used Season of Change, So Grateful, and Grunge Borders stamp sets, and the Season of Change Leaf dies and Bookmarks & More dies.

I also have a CAS Christmas card to share today if you like to get ahead on making your Christmas cards!  I used some Sweet 'n Sassy stamps along with silver and gold cardstock, plus gold embossing powder to make this sparkly and shimmery holiday greeting.

The gold embossed snowflakes are from the Spectacular Snowflakes stamp set.  The sentiment is from Mod Ornaments and was embossed with white e.p.  The little scallop border was diecut with a die from the SNSS Bookmarks and More set of dies.

I hope today's projects will inspire you to get started on your holiday creations!

A Christmas Thank You

Hello everyone... hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  Now that the gifts have been opened and the trimmings are being put away, it's time to send out those Christmas thank you notes.  I'd like to share one of mine with you that uses a little bit of tissue paper recycling…didn't want all of that pretty wrapping paper to go to waste!

The background, salvaged tissue paper from one of my Christmas packages, was scrunched in a ball, smoothed out, and glued to a piece of Vintage Cream card stock.  The ornament from Mod Ornaments was cut with the matching Ornament Die and stamped in Pure Poppy.  The split sentiment is from the Script Sentiments and Kindness stamp sets.  A Small Snowflake die cut from a matching piece of wrapping paper was added and the gold pearls help to pick up the gold in the tissue paper.

To celebrate the end of another year and to thank you for your amazing support, 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is having a big Store-Wide Year End Sale 

from now until December 31st!

Now I can put all of my Christmas stamp sets away for a while and concentrate on the beginning of a new year!  Can't wait to see what Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has in store for us in 2014!  Until next year…

Have A Happy & Blessed New Year!

Hugs,

Cathy

Sweet Treats

Hi everybody!

I have several sweet treats for you today.   Earlier this month I designed a card called, Frosty Wishes, using the Sweet n Sassy Stamp set, Snowman Soup, designed by Diane Zechman.

While I was creating the card I thought to myself, "self, wouldn't it be fun to create a little serving tray using this set."   Good idea, I think I will!   I hope I'm not the only one who talks to herself.   I have a feeling I'm not {wink}.

I'll be adding a glass inset later (for protection).   For photography purposes I used clear card stock.

I had a small serving tray that I painted with Ranger Distress Crackle Paint (Picket Fence).   I wanted to continue with the homespun feel of my previous card.   I added some little snowballs that I sprinkled with some Diamond Dust.  Then on two of the squares I embossed the snowflakes with metallic platinum sparkle embossing glitter from Wow!.   The other snowflakes are stamped with Memento ink and then a touch of Copic color.   The little snowman cup on the bottom right has a mound of crystal fine "whipped cream" glitter with several candy canes for good measure.    A nice steaming cup of hot chocolate, a few cookies, and a candy cane to dip -- what a nice surprise to find at your door.   Gifts of heart and hand say, "you're special to me, I value your friendship."

How about a nice Christmas card to go along with this tray?   Well, I have just the one for you!   It's another set from our Sweet n Sassy Stamps (SNSS) September Release called, Mod Ornaments.   And the sweet treat?  How about a coordinating die set?  Yep, we got em'.

I missed the SNSS Blog Hop when this set was featured.  I thought you'd like to see what I created using the set.    I used a new product by Wow! to emboss the ornament.  Lot's of sliver sparkle.  Isn't that pretty popped up on the turquoise dp?   All my designer papers are from several years ago.   True to my word, I'm using my scrapes (I'm so proud of myself *giggle*).   And remember when I talked about finding an icon on your papers?  Well, here I go again - I've used several little packages (fussy cut them) and placed them underneath the sentiment circle (which came with the papers).  It doesn't get easier than this dear friends.   A modern theme using Mod Ornaments from Sweet n Sassy Stamps.   Now go create some memories!    I'm going to get myself a nice mug of hot chocolate (she smiles).

Sweet n Sassy Stamps is having a Design Team (DT) Favorites Sale starting October 4th followed by 5 days of DT favorites on the SNSS Blog.   Hope to see you there!   Let's talk about some home decor for your Thanksgiving table.

Until then,
Blessings sweet friends.

Mod, Marvelous Ornaments

Hello!  I am so glad you stopped by today.  This is my first post as an official Design Diva and I could not be more excited to be here!  Thank You, Korin for this opportunity, and thanks to the rest of the team for the warm, warm welcome.  I have two cards for you today and they could not be more different.
This first card uses the Mod Ornaments set, as well as the Music Background stamp.

The new Mod Ornaments set is so versatile; by stamping the Music Background on the ornaments and doing some heat embossing, I turn mod ornaments into elegant ornaments. And even better yet, the coordinating dies are the dies that also coordinate with the Vintage Ornaments set.  And that sweet heart on the pink ornament?  That is from the Vintage Postcard set!

This next card uses the Born This Day stamp set and  is CAS and neutral.  I wanted to depict the humble birth of our Lord, so there is no glitz or glamour.

I absolutely adore this sweet, sweet set.  I used a favorite sketch of mine from a challenge blog and colored the image with Copics, using only 4 colors with the exception of Baby Jesus' face. I used the coordinating die and who new cutting out a detailed image could be so easy!?
That's it for me today.  If you would like more details on how I made these cards, you can find them on my blog.
Hugs,
Lee Ann

Christmas wishes

Welcome!  We are in a holiday mood this month...it's never too early to get your Christmas cards done!  Today I have two cards to share.  I started with some sweet Christmas papers and two stamp sets from this month's release.  For my first card I also used Korin's Mug Card Template.

 

I added one of the images from my Snowman Soup set and some Stickles for a bit of sparkle.

 

Next I used the Mod Ornaments and Ornaments dies to create this card.

I added several gemstones and some Stickles to the ornaments so this card shimmers as well.

Thanks for popping in and have a great Monday!
