More stitching by Hetty

Hello, Hetty here and  

I lhave another card for you  with a sewing theme.

The stamps are from Mark's Finest and 

the embossing folder is one from the Tim Holtz collection.

These kind of cards can be used for all kinds of

occasions for your girl friends.

The technique on this card is called 

Chalked Emboss and you can find the instructions

for this in the latest newsletter

(December 2011/January 2012).

It is always a good feeling when I can use one

of the buttons from my collection.

Have a creative day!

A Snowy Day by Judy Jackson

Happy Day after Christmas Fellow Stampers from Judy Jackson! I have another Picture Perfect technique card to share with you.

Has it snowed much where you are? Snow glistens all winter long -- no matter if it is before Christmas or after. Falling snow is so pretty -- driving in it is not so much fun! The embossed snowflake panel was also sprayed with glimmer spray and so was the picture!

The embellishment word "snow" was created with alphabet stickers and puffy resin stickers to stick on top of each letter.

Each alphabet embellishment was then attached to the panel with a white brad. The snow flakes at the edge are punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. I love to use this verse stamp from Stampin' Up with snow scenes as it just fits so well. I am glad we now live in an area where winter only "calls us" mainly in January and February.

Have a great day and I hope you are able to squeeze in some stamping or scrapping during the rest of December!

And very shortly it is on 2012! Where has the time flown? I sure hope your TJ Newsletter subscription is up to date for this coming new year!

Flap card for Hanukkah

Hetty here with a special post today,

for we light the first candle on the Menorah for Hanukkah.

If you want to know more about the history of Hanukkah

go here. Today I  have made two projects.

The first is the Flap card and you can dind the instructions on the

3D and Fancy Fold CD.

The other project is the dreidel and you can find out

all about this on my CraftChaos Blog.

Paper and stamps for this project are all by Club Scrap.

This card is closed by a little velcro circle.

This is the inside of the card. 

The sentiment is by Club Scrap.

 

A close up of the rosette decoration with the Menorah 

(also by Clyb Scrap). In de middle I added a

piece of thin gold wire around the Menorah and added some beads.

I made the curl ends around a tooth pick.

 

Decorated Clips: 3D and Fun Folds CD

CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR A LARGER VIEW

Hello TJ Girlfriends (guys, too if you're out there)~Kathie McGuire here today with a Decorated Clips project from the 3D and Fun Folds CD. Wait, what? Don't I make anything else besides these clips? Truth is, no--not much. Well, not as much as I make these because they are so adorable, so useful, and such a fantastic personal gift.

This small assortment is for a fellow-makeup and fragrance lover, my Avon lady. She loves pink, so I chose a background paper with pink in it along with a few of the other colors which would match the buttons. I found these buttons from an online store called Shelly's Buttons and More.The cosmetic theme was perfect for her, so with very little effort, I had a coordinated, personalized gift for my wonderful friend.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing a few more of these Decorated Clips. Have you tried them? I have to warn you, once you begin making them, it's hard to turn back. LOL

Happy Holidays, Dear Friends!!

A stich in Time...

Hi! Hetty here with another 

lovely  project from the

3D and Fun Folds CD.

This project is called tag folded booklet.

 

You can make all kinds of fun projects with this

and even add photo's. It is also a wonderful gift.

For my project I used papers from Club Scrap.

The stamps are from Club Scrap and Crafty Individuals.

 

Here you see all the tags. 

I used kraft colored paper and

stamped with black ink. 

When colored with pencils, 

it gives the tag a very vintage look.

 Have a creative day!

Picture Perfect Christmas Card by Judy Jackson

Good day from Judy Jackson! We are well into the Christmas season and I still haven't mailed my Christmas cards! But they are all addressed and waiting for my hubby to finish the annual Christmas letter. I had carpal tunnel on the both wrists this season so hand stamped cards are few and far between for Christmas this year! But if I were to need more cards this would be my "go to technique!" This is a simple one that you could mass produce easily!

My kids and now my grandchildren look forward to Santa on the firetruck handing out candy canes each Christmas season. This scene certainly depicts the anticipation and the joy of families enjoying this same tradition. I wonder how many communities have this traditional scene every year?

I embossed the card stock under the picture, highlighted the embossed areas with blue ink, and then applied glimmer spray over the snowflakes. After all, snow should glisten don't you think? The Merry Christmas stamp is from Stampin' Up!

I hope you all have a blessed and Merry Christmas this year! May you get most of the stamping and scrapping supplies you are wishing for! I will be happy for a gift certificate!

Christmas Tag

Hello there TJ Friends from Kathie McGuire. I hope my Christmas tag project will inspire you to create one for yourself or someone else on your holiday list.

My tag uses the technique "Cuttlebug Glow" from the 10/07 TJ Newsletter. It features the Cloisonne Christmas Trees. I stamped them onto maroon card stock and embossed them with PSX Brass Embossing Powder. I loved being able to cut them out in seconds with the coordinating Christmas Tree Metal Dies. Last, I added some glitz with Stickles Gold.

The "snow" is white Flower Soft. At the top of the tag, please notice the Strong Stamps Triangle stamp from the Cloisonne Accents stamp set. When I had it securely in place, I used a Crop-A-Dile to set a brass eyelet to thread the fibers through. The last elements are a bit of gold cord and a brass snowflake from a pile of Christmas doo-dads in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today. Merry Christmas everybody!!
