Season of Style Washi Tape Tree

This was just plain fun!  I just cut out the triangle and wrapped it in the Season of Style Washi Tape. How easy was that?  I added layers of Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler cardstock to add more depth to the card. The tree is also popped off the page with Stampin' Up Dimensionals.  If you haven't played with the Washi tape yet, add it to your next order! 

There are some great options of tape in the current annual catalog. The spring Occasions catalog will be coming out shortly. If you have not received a copy but would like one, please email me at MightyOakStampers@yahoo.com or message me through my Facebook page. 

Christmas Birthday

Sometimes there are birthdays right around Christmas. Most of the time, I do not "blend" them - but I had this idea and wanted to just play with it.  It is a combination of the  Color Me Christmas and Sketched Birthday stamp sets. Card stock in Gumball Green and So Saffron keep it fun and lively. 

Christmas Star

I love the simplicity of this card. Just the Christmas Star single stamp, with Old Olive ink and cardstock.  A layer of Cherry Cobbler cardstock is layered along with a Whisper White base. The tag is from the Pop & Place Holiday gift tag set.  It is tied off with Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine.

Santa Card - Color Me Christmas

I confess, I was a little hesitant about the Color Me Christmas stamp set. Who has time to color each stamp????  Yes, that was my thought.... then I started playing with them. They were probably my favorite set from the Holiday catalog this year.

I know most people are done with their Christmas cards at this point. But I still have a few to share with you. You can still copy the design for any occasion.  Swap out the Ho Ho Ho for any background design, and add your center stamp. Enjoy!

Here's another use for the Frosted Finishes Embellishments. These are great last minute Christmas gifts too! Below I have used them to sparkle up a holiday pin made with felt and the Blossom Party Stampin' Up! Originals Die. 

 

 

Love the Muslin Bags!!

Yes, another way to use the Muslin Bags from Stampin' Up!  I know I will be delivering treats this season using these adorable little bags. You can use your Stampin' Write markers to color them as well.  You still have time to order them before Christmas.

Oh What Fun!

Love the candy tubes!  They are so quick to make up, and great to have handy to share with everyone you know.  Add one to a gift package to dress it up. Great for school treats or for your co-workers. And you can't beat the price, only $2.50 for fifty 1"x8" cellophane bags.  Here it is simply topped with a Scallop Punch and a stamp from the Christmas Messages set.   A little piece of 1/8" Real Red Taffeta finishes off the tag.  The bags are item 124134 found in the Gift Giving section of Stampin' Up!'s online store.
