We also have a new stamp set with a truck and tree image!  
Oh, how fun it would be to create with the old fashioned truck!  And,
so many possibilities to tuck an image in the back of the truck!  It's
time for tree decorating and fun festivities!  I will be using the truck
stamp set on my next project, which will be on 12-17-18.




Here is my first project using the Sweet Cuts-Treat Box.




For my little vintage house, I covered the treat box with felt.  The scalloped roof was made using Stand Add-on:  Sweet Treats.  The door was die cut using Treat Box Add-on:  Home&Garden.  The wreath and candy canes were made using Planner Series-Happy Holidays.  Star gems were applied to the wreath.  Pearls were applied to the candy canes.  Ribbon(Robin Egg and Bubblegum) with a button applied at the top of the box.  Mica Flakes, button, and pom pom trim to finish the vintage house.  I'm entering my house project over at Chouxchoux Paper Art.




Next up, a gingerbread felt ornament card...


For my gingerbread card, I started with a white card base and paired it with aqua paper from MME.  The next panel was embossed with a snowflake folder from SU.  The felt gingerbread was die cut using Sweet Cuts-Sugar and Spice.  The gingerbread man was die cut twice and a blanket stitch was used for the two layers.  Frosting ribbon and pearl cotton to make a bow.  Pearls were added for interest.  The sentiment and small ginger is from the set Planner Series:  Happy Holidays.  Felt scalloped borders were made using Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders.  Mica flakes for the finishing touch.  The gingerbread man can then be taken off and used for an ornament for the tree.  A card with an ornament...two gifts in one!

Happy Birthday!



Hi, Friends!

I'm popping in quick to share with you three birthday cards using the poinsettia die set from MFT.  And, the sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.  I'm entering over at Word Art Wednesday.   I spent today doing a little shopping and lunch with my husband.  He has this week off for vacation.  He got the outside lights up today.  He thinks an animal chewed through one set, so we bought more white lights.  He'll finish putting those lights up tomorrow.  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!  How is your Christmas decorating coming along at your place?

And, here are my cards...






Well, that's all for now probably until the end of the week.  Take good care and thanks so much for dropping by today!

Hugs!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-December!



Hi, Friends!

Happy December 1st!

As you can see above, it is time to deck the halls for Christmas!  The red and blue birds donned in their Santa hats are on the look out for Santa!  They will see who is naughty or nice!  The birds and their decorated house are from the set Deck The Halls.  The wreaths at the top of the pages are from the  Planner Series: Happy Holidays.  The other holiday images on the pages are from the same set.  The Christmas lights on the second page are from the set  Basket Add-on: Baked with Love.  The scalloped border was die cut using Sweet Cuts-Sweet Borders.

I have two posts today, so please scroll down to see my DRU card, too!

And, now a closer peek at my planner pages...






The planner stamps that I used on the pages are Planner Series:Happy Holidays,  Planner Series:Happy Icons, Planner Series: Wedding, Planner Series: Appointments, Planner Series: Checklist, Planner Series: Coffee, and Planner Series: Everyday Basics, 

I had lots of fun decorating my planner for December!  
I hope you
check out our planner stamps and have fun decorating your
planner, too!
