Ready for Valentine's Day & Lots More !

Hello !
Well the Christmas things are all gone and there are all sorts of new things to share. Time to get some serious crafting started !
I have a whole table set up with stamps, dies, stickers, bling, stencils, embellishments and more ... all in pinks & reds, with hearts and love ... to make valentine cards and projects with.

I have sorted through all the dies and stamps and tidied them all up. They are all in labeled bins, ready for shoppers. 

Now ... new things ! I have all sorts of papers to share, new embellishments, stamps, dies, and inks . I'll share a few photos and then the link so you can see the whole album. There are valentine papers, wedding papers, paper you can colour !, paper for pirates & circuses, and just plain beautiful paper. I hope there is something for everyone. 

That's just a quick sampling ! More in the link.

There are also some fun embellishments to go with those paper lines as well as matching stamps & dies. 

There are new inks including the last Distress Ink of the month for 2015 and the last 4 mini ink cubes.

I also now have the Tim Holtz Distress Glitter Dust ... and oh my !! It sparkles like no glitter I have ever seen.

A few more pictures of stamps & dies ... again just a sampling ...

This house die will be a lot of fun !
Use the die on it's own or use the stamp set to add more details .
There are stamps for every season .

Here's another fun new product - The Sizzix Sandwich booklet. If you are sometimes unsure of which plate to use with which product, this is the booklet for you ! Having this on hand will ensure that you get the best results with your dies and embossing folders. 

Here is the link to the album so you can see even more of the new products ... click on the blue highlighted date !

Lots to share today ... make yourself a cuppa and scroll through. :)

Day 12 !

Last day ... Day 12 !

Ornaments !

 Here's what you need ... tins, deer heads from Tim Holtz, glitter and (not shown) paper, ribbon, diecuts, and faux garland trim.

 Simply trace the tin , cut out a paper circle, and then glue it into the tin.
Glue a length of faux garland around the inner edge of the tin.
Now coat the deer head or even just the antlers with glue and add glitter. Let dry.
Using hot glue, add the deer head to the tin and glue ribbon on the back.
For the third ornament, I just added a chipboard diecut. Super easy !!

Well that;s the end of the 12 Days of Quick & Easy Christmas Projects ... I hope you enjoyed them and maybe found some inspiration.
Happy holidays !!

DAY 11 !!

For Day 11, I decided to go for the gold !!

Here's the what & the how ... and a few adhesive tips !

Supplies ... gold papers, Tim Holtz rub ons, gold trims & ribbon, vellum, Stick It adhesive.

This is the star of the show ... metallic rub ons.
You get 2 sheets - one silver, one gold.
The rub ons work beautifully and add a luxurious touch to your projects. 

For this card, I added the rub on directly to black card stock.
I then cut a strip off the card edge and added foil inside so it would peek out the edge. Done !

Here I added the rub on onto white cardstock and used some beautiful gold starry paper.
A strip of gold ribbon finished off the simple card. 

I had to use the golden woodgrain paper !! It is so beautiful.
I added the rub on onto vellum this time so the sentiment would show up and the
woodgrain could still show through faintly.
A little bit of gold trim glued on added the finishing touch.
Now ... how did I adhere that vellum without any signs of adhesive ???

Such a beautiful vintage style sentiment. 

Here's my secret !!
'Stick It' adhesive is perfect for diecutting but it is also the perfect solution for adhering vellum. Apparently it also works well for transparencies. I haven't tried that yet but will.
I just cut a few little strips of the 'Stick It' and added it down the sides ... and no marks at all !!!
It may be a Christmas miracle.
Hallelujah !!

And here's one more tip ... 'Stick It' looks very much like regular typing paper or release paper.
It would be very easy to toss in the recycling bin by mistake !
So I just lightly labeled it with pencil .
Now I won't use it as scrap paper or toss it !

Now, don't forget that tomorrow (Wed Dec 23) is the BIG SALE !!! Scroll down to the previous post for details. It will be the biggest sale on Christmas items this season ... don't miss it !!!
And keep watching for Day 12, the last day of my Christmas projects.
Hope to see you tomorrow !
