SPECIALTY PAPER'S PLUS ORNAMENT CARDS

                  Hello Everyone

                Today is           
       Specialty Paper's Plus  
                     Day


     The beautiful gold parchment
card stock is the Bonus  paper you receive with every order.
I used it as base for the cards.
The main reason I enjoy this paper, it is very sturdy,it takes
inks well, and it makes embossing
super easy.

       
 

I cut the ornaments out of the pink and blue parchment. I used the blossom punch from stampin up. For the ornaments  on the card I used 4 pieces, for the one that you can take off the card and hang on the tree I used 8. Just punch,fold in half, glue and decorate. If you would like more information on how to make these wonderful little ornaments go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu7j-ic5LTM&feature=uploademail                     
and check it out.

This is the card stock I used. The parchment is at the top. The gold piece is part of there  metallic line.

Ornament Fun

       Hello everyone.

          This weekend my daughter and I had great fun making ornaments.  I enjoy when she comes over, we craft, talk, eat,  and have the best time.



                                                   

                                                      Jennifer made the beautiful black and white ornaments pictured here at the left. I think she did a great job.

This is her first picture post on my blog. Jennifer will also be a guest designer in the future. If you like what she has made please leave a comment. 

 

    We had  a blast making  ornaments. We cut them out with my Grand Calibur machine and  Spellbinder dies. We used the Crafter's companion Ultimate tool  to score down the middle of each piece. You have to be very accurate or the ornament will not match up.
 Using the ultimate tool made
 that very easy.

         I want to give the ornament

as a gift.  I used the ultimate tool
to make the box also.

 This is just one of the many

projects that is shown on
 the CD that comes with the
 ultimate tool.
        I put the window on both
sides and hung the ornament
from a glue dot on the inside
 of the box. Then placed Velcro
 on top and bottom to keep the
 box shut.
         The box will come in handy
to store the ornament so it will not
 get crushed.

        We  had so much fun making

these ornaments. I hope you enjoy

 the pictures. If you want to know

more about the crafter's companion

 ultimate tool go to

         If you have any question,

leave me a comment.

          I would also like to invite you to join my blog.

  Thank you so much for stopping by.

           And have a scrappy day.

Giving Back

                  I hope everyone had a great time at the Earth Warrior's Festival  this past week. My little flowers were offered up as a gift  to Mother Earth. I think most of us forget that most of the paper we use is from nature. I wish I could have been their to see the festivities.  Maybe next year.

                     In the next Week I will be featuring http://specialtypapersplus.com/  I have some great cards and ornaments to show you,so come back and visit. 

                               Thank you and have a scrappy day.
