Nativity Scene by Jillian and Bunny

Nativity Scene by Jillian and Bunny
Well we decided to make this a team project since school and homework is taking a bunch of my time.  So mom and I got busy in the craft room!  Well kind of, we started with an empty Frosted Flakes cereal box!  Yes, that is our favorite cereal ~ as a snack! For the back of the Stable, we cut a 6 x 8 rectangle out of the box, then out of Jillibean Soup's Wood grain paper called Apple Cheddar Soup.  Then for the top just took one side of the cereal box and folded it and covered it with the wood grain paper too. {We used the ATG gun to adhere it!} I used Spellbinders™ dies for all the rest of the cuts as follows:
  • Wise men ~ Labels Eight, black embossing powder
  • Nativity ~ Nested Lacey Pennants, Coffee Archival Ink
  • Angel and sentiment ~ Labels One and Gold embossing powder
  • Star ~ Nested Star die, stamped in Black Archival Ink with Perfect Pearls Mist in Sunflower Gold 
  • A Star is Born and O Holy Night ~ Labels Eight, Coffee Archival Ink and AJVD Pear Pins to hang them onto the Stable!
Most were 3-D dotted with two layers of dots to make them stand out from the stable!
Stamp Sets used are Wise Men and O Holy Night and found HERE!  Thanks for checking us out!  Please leave us a comment ~ and {Pin It} if you like it!  Follow us on Facebook too!

Snowy Days and Vanilla Tootsie Rolls!

For this week we are doing a card and a treat bag/box. So I decided to get into my svg stash and see just what I had!
Snowy Days and Vanilla Tootsie Rolls!
This box comes from SVG Cuts Crisp Days of Fall found HERE. It is a darling matchbox and so easy to make.  I then made a rosette and used the scalloped circle for the Snowman Sentiment which was stamped in Aquamarine Archival Ink.  I stamped snowflakes in embossing ink and stamped the top of the box but you can't see them for the rosette ~ Oh well!
For my card I used my favorite Labels 8 Spellbinders die and some black and white card stock.  I used Snowflake Circles Stamp set found here and just stamped  the snowflakes with Aquamarine Archival Ink to make a background stamped image.  Then used embossing ink and Recollections Teal glitter embossing powder to make "Frosty" blingy! For the sentiment it was stamped in Black Archival Ink on a Grommet Tag diecut by Spellbinders.  Then I found the perfect colored brads to match! I love your comments!

Christmas Blessings Snowflake Tag and Wise Men Card

Hi guys!!! Can you believe its almost Thanksgiving??? Today, I have a Christmas Blessings card and tag! No they don't match, but they are still beautiful projects if I do say so myself :)


Christmas Blessings and Just Snowflakes are the stamp sets I used for this tag.  I started with a manila tag from  Ranger. Distressed it with the new Tim Holtz Winter Seasonal Inks, which you can order HERE.
This tag uses embossing powder by Recollections, this is just the first few times I tried it and now I am hooked! This is using the Tim Holtz Winter Inks in Iced Spruce, and Evergreen Bough.  I layered with Perfect Pearls Mist in Turquoise and then in Perfect Pearls on the top!
Christmas Blessings, Wise Men
This is even completed with a pear pin! I used Evergreen Bough Ink again, and embossing powder by Recollections. on a Spellbinders Labels 8 die cut.   I even included a ribbon! If you guys want some more information on this, you can comment below! I will answer all questions :)

Christmas Blessings Card Duo

Today I wanted to do a set of a card and gift card holder!  I used Kraft paper as the base cut with a Spellbinders Labels 8 then layer with a piece of red card stock cut two sizes down.  I then cut green dot Spellbinders Lacey Pennants  and then out of Kraft again the SB Pennant die.  I stamped the Nativity Scene from O Holy Night and Nativity Bonus Stamp set found HERE.  I used Ranger Embossing Ink and Black Opague Embossing Powder by Recollections.  I stamped both Sentiments from Christmas Blessings Stamp Set found HERE in Jet Black Archival.  
The gift card holder die is from Emma at My Creative Time.  I punched two 2 inch circles out of the green dot paper and layered a square scallop punch with the sentiment on top.  The Cherry Divine Twine completes the look!

Black, White and Red all over!

Tis the Season to sparkle!  Well how about a little Santa Baby today!

For his card I used only Spellbinder diecuts.  Labels One, (black base and striped layer) Labels Eight for the red layer and Labels 18 for the top layer.  I inked with Distress Ink in Barn door around the die to give it that worn red look in the embossing crease.
Stamped the Santa Baby in Black Archival, Tis the Season in Vermilion Archival and added some bling!
Stamps are from the Santa Baby Stamp set found HERE!
