Teacher Gift - Winter Wonder

I wanted to share with you the Teacher Gift's that we gave my son's teachers.  My inspiration started from the dollar bin at Michaels.  I picked up monogrammed black and white list pads that came with a matching pen.  From there I used my imagination and some Christmas stamps and dies from Stampin Up.  

I made the cover from black card stock and layer on top of that.  There are many videos on creating the cover on YouTube if you are interested.  I used the Snowflake Soiree stamp to clear emboss on the background paper.  Then I added this black and white polka dot card stock that I cut with a framelit and to top it off I added a Snow Flurry Snowflake.  This was a new die featured in the Stampin Up Holdiay Mini.

To finish the gift off, I made coordinating cards to go with it.  I hope this project inspires you to create your own home made gifts.

Happy Crafting in the New Year,

Melanie

Primerose Snow Flurry

This card is a card I cased from Stamp with Heather.  She is a Stampin Up Artisan winner and has great projects.

For this card, I decided to go for a more nontraditional Christmas color scheme.  I used Stampin Up's Primerose Petals.  I really love the soft feel this gives the card.  The Snow Flurry die accents the embossed snowflake banners in the background.  Very simple and easy to create.

Happy Crafting,

Melanie

Winter Snowflake Card

I have been exploring more with my Cricut and I love it!  Here is a quick card that I made for another Challenge by Momo.  This is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card that I made with the Paper Pups and Stretch Your Imagination cartridges.  The Pup is cut out at 3" and the snow flakes are cut out 1 1/2", 1" and 3/4".  Winter was cut out at 1 1/2".  More to come......
