Christmas Gift Event - Coasters

Thank you to all of you that stopped by during the Royal Blog tour. The comments about my projects were just wonderful. Especially all of the compliments on my scrapbook page of my youngest Robert. As I said in the post he is now 4 years old. Here is a more up to date picture of him.

He totally hates having his picture taken so this is the best one that I got of him on Halloween in his Buzz Lightyear costume (unfortunately without his wings).
Ok now onto the 2nd Holiday Gift...

Ok so the 2nd gift that you will be able to sign up to make at my Holiday Gift Event will be a set of 4 of these coasters with the gift box (to be shown later). The coasters are made with 2 different prints from the Deck the Halls fabric in the Holiday mini, a layer of quilt batting & a layer of Stampin' Up's new cork. All of this is cut with the Big Shot machine & clear square scallop die. The ribbon is early espresso grosgrain ribbon & the button is from the Deck the Halls button collection in the Holiday Mini. This set of 4 coaster & gift box will be priced at $10 per set.

Royal Blog Tour

Welcome to the Fall edition of the Royal Blog Tour! I hope you are enjoying your tour through the Kingdom.
The stamp set that is used in this Castle is "A Word for You." The great thing about stamp sets that are just words is that there are so many other stamps sets that you can use with them.
My 1st project is a scrapbook page made with one of the double sided die cut sheets out of the Nursery Suite Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The pictures of the baby are my youngest son, Robert (now 4), the day he left the hospital & when he was about 2 weeks old. The simply adorable words & the oval around it are quick accents from the coordinating Nursery Suite Quick Accent stickers. The words " Baby Welcome to the World" are from the A Word from you Stamp Set, stamped in Baja Breeze ink on whisper white cardstock & punched out with the wide oval punch. Then I took the 2 3/8" scallop circle & punch out another sheet from the Nursery Suite Specialty Designer Series Paper. The middle of the page is the Baby tees jumbo wheel in baja breeze ink on whisper white cardstock. Then colored with pear pizzazz, baja breeze & daffodil delight stampin' write markers. Then I glued it to a piece of pear pizzazz cardstock before gluing it to the page.

This Happy Anniversary card looks lovely & is super easy to make. The base of the card is basic black cardstock. The the whisper white cardstock I ran through the Big Shot machine with the paisley prints side of one of the texture plates in the Texture Plates #4 set. Then I stamped the words "Happy Anniversary and many more to come!" from the A Word for You stamp set at the bottom in basic black ink. Then I placed a bit of the 1/2" Ravel Lace trim around the whisper white piece & glued the whisper white to the basic black. Done...wasn't that simple.

For this birthday card I was trying to step out of my comfort zone with the colors. Normally I would not use this many bright colors together on 1 card. But I took some of my favorites, daffodil delight, mambo melon & rich razzelberry then added some whisper white to create this card. The base is daffodil delight, layer #2 is mambo melon, layer #3 is rich razzleberry, then on the 4th layer, whisper white, I stamped the words "Happy Birthday with a Cherry on Top" in rich razzelberry in the corner. On another piece of whisper white I stamped 4 different size of circles from the Circle Circus stamp set in each color plus a second one in melon mambo. I cut all 4 circles out. The 1st & 3rd circles I glued flat to the whisper white layer but the 2nd & 4th circles I put on with dimensionals just to give it a pop off the card.

My last card is an extremely easy card. I love items that are pretty & simple. Don't get me wrong I love elaborate items too but sometimes it is just nice to have something simple & pretty. This card would be great to send as a Thank You note or when a friend is feeling blue. The color (poppy parade) just make me smile. The base of the card is poppy parade. The top layer is whisper white that I ran through the Big Shot machine (just love it) with the square lattice embossing folder (just love them too) & a square wooden frame (found at any craft store). This gives the open space in the embossing. Then I stamped the words "For You from Me" in poppy parade ink, glued it onto the base & I was done. Under 5 minutes & that probably includes getting all of your supplies out.
