Christmas Cards, Coffee

Santa Cup

It’s a Santa Coffee Cup!  I’ve been working on a make n take project for the Strongsville, OH show this weekend.  It’s a little complicated because you have 10 people doing the project and only 15 minutes!  That is not very much time.  So I decided to do a coffee cup project and sent over the picture of the honeycomb with the bees stamped on the cup (there is a picture of that project on the blog earlier this year!)   BUT I got to thinking (I really need to stop thinking! ) that it is halloween and Christmas time so I should have cups to go along with the season.  I came up with this little Santa cup but it takes way more than 15 minutes to complete so although it is very cute…not for this weekend.

You all know how much I love my brother scan n cut and here is another fine example of why.  I have a flourish punch (like the one on Santa’s belt) but it was way too  big for the coffee cup.  I got to thinking about the pre loaded shapes in the brother and sure enough I found the flourish shape….resized it…and we were good to go!  Love it.

You also know how much I love the little tiny dot stamps that most people think are useless (unless you have one than you know how useful they are!) they have been used for Santa’s cheek and his tongue!  Way Cool!

Well, I have got to get to work.  Lots of orders to go out AND  we have some new stamps coming!  If you noticed the “naughty or nice?” saying??!  It’s on a new fun cube…We should have the new stamps this weekend and hopefully I will get them on the website next week during our time between the two shows while sitting in the hotel!  I also will show you on Thursday and Friday the two coffee cups for the Strongsville, OH make n take Friday night session.

Here is the new naughty or nice fun cube…

Sunday we needed air conditioning and today we need heat!  goodness, the toes and fingers are cold today!

I guess we better get used to it seeing as winter is coming.  The best thing about winter is snowman!  Same style card as yesterday.  I just used a different line stamp and words.

Good Morning!  The sunshine and 80 degrees did not last long enough!  We are back to 60 degrees but that is still very comfortable so we are not complaining. 🙂

Very busy day ahead of us today…just lots of little time consuming things to take care of.  Hoping the entire list gets taken care of today.  We are fresh from a nice relaxing day yesterday and are ready to go!

We really are not thinking about snow but I do love snowman!  Stamps Used:  G149 Word Frame; FF36 Heart Snowman; C218 Think Snow; BB22 Snowflake Fun Cube.

Hope your Monday is a good one.

Thank goodness for Friday!

Oh, I am SO happy that it is Friday!  We have been working 10-12 hours a day trying to get the stamps all made so that we can have a little time to do some things around the house.  Instead of painting yesterday…we made stamps till 11 pm!  Almost done but I said that this morning and here it is 4 pm and I’m still working 🙂

We hope to take the weekend off and just enjoy being and home!  AND doing some painting! Have a great weekend.

be merry

it’s a quick and simple Christmas card this morning!

Stamps Used:  C215 be merry, G145 Dotted Christmas Tree, AA15 Dual Dots Mini

I often get questioned about our little dual dots stamps.  I actually use them often…but then I’m a polka dot kind of girl.  They are just two tiny dots on each side of the stamps.  I use them on the center of flowers, as a background, and as in this card on the ornaments.

AA15

just teeny tiny dots!  Love them!

Our weather forecast for WI starting at 1 pm today is as follows…

weatherso what does a girl do in this kind of weather??  She gets all her work done and then PAINTS!  Yep, I’m having withdrawal symptoms from no painting.  I have some cabinets that are going in the new pantry that need painting.  I’m a happy girl!

 

you make me smile jar

Hello, smile

 

 

Here are a few cards using hat pins on them.  I love making the pins and using them on cards…adds a nice little touch.

We’ve had some busy days since returning from CO… not doing much but just getting things re-organized, needed to do laundry, buy groceries, clean house, and, of course, make stamps again!  Just ordinary things that make each day a gift.  I want to cherish each day and love the little things in it.  Was really special to spend time with my parents and my brother while in Colorado.  We made some new memories to cherish.  Hope your ordinary days are special.

Stamps used: A123 You Make Me Smile, C191 KB’s Heart Flower in a Jar, A78 KB’s Butterfly/Sm

Copic Markers used: R32 Peach, YG63 Pea Green, Y17 Golden Yellow, BG10 Cool Shadow
