Christmas ornament/book mark


I think this would be such a cute little Christmas gift for a sunday school teacher to give to their students! I made it to be used as a tree ornament but you could also use it as a book mark.

Celebrate Jesus' Birthday


These are 2 cards that I made for a contest. I used the papertrey ink set called "piece of cake" and made Christmas cards! The word "Jesus'" was computer generated.

Flower Card

Thanks to an Anne who posted this question on the PaperTrey ink forum "Anybody make a flower using Take a Bough?" I came up with this card. The petals were made using the solid tear shaped x-mas ornament from PaperTrey ink. I just stamped it in fours, and then again in fours overlapping the first set. I like how it made a darker shade of pink where the petals overlap. Then for the center of the flower, I used a round x-mas ornament, again from Papertrey ink. The stem is a stitching stamp from a set called "hanging by a thread" by Technique Tuesday. I love how you can manipulate clear stamps to curve. The stitched leaves were from a small set by Autumn Leaves. The Just Because stamps are by PaperTrey ink and the set is called "Paper Trey".

Favor box




I found plain white "favor boxes" at Target in the wedding section of the stationary isle. A box of 50 for $12.99 - that's only 25 cents each! I made this cute favor box by stamping it with a papertrey ink set called "Piece of Cake". I used SU! dye inks and added some sparkly stickers to some of the flowers centers. The green ribbon used is the same color as the leaves - it just doesn't look like it in the scan. Then I added some paper flowers to the top. I think it came out really cute.

Dying to share...

Oh, I am dying to share with you all some cards that I have recently made, but they are for a card contest and so they must wait! I do think that I came up with a pretty neat idea for making some cards that the set wasn't really intended for. I will upload the cards as soon as the winner has been chosen.
