Week 1 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

Sorry I have not been posting regularly.  I have so many projects to share with you.  I have been stamping and creating projects, just not getting them posted.  So making some changes to my routine so I will be posting daily to share some of my projects.

I am starting my 12 Weeks of Christmas posts today for this year.  I will be posting a Christmas project for you each week on Monday through December 11, 2023.  All the posts will be a Christmas project (framed piece this week), ornaments, Christmas cards, gift card holders and gift tags.

Today I am sharing a framed JOY in a 4"x6" frame.  I used our large letter framelits (discontinued) because they are wider then the classic letter dies we have.  I did use some of our discontinued product because I made this project for a craft fair at our church.  I stamped the wreath in the center of the white cardstock and the I put the J and Y on with dimensionals. so they are raised.  

Here is the list of supplies used for this project:

Daffodil Easter Blessings Card

Now that our retiring list is posted, I wanted to show you some fun samples of some cards that I have created using of the retiring product.  So for today's post is the Easter card that I created for this Easter season.  I just used the stamp set and not the dies for this set.  It is a beautiful daffodil single flower (the one I used) and has another stamp stamp with 3 daffodils on it.  So if you love daffodil, set this stamp set before it is retired.  I did color in the daffodil and leaves with our blends.  

 The items used in this project:

Ice Cream Sunde Card

 One of my favorite desserts growing up was a hot fudge sundae.  So when I saw the sundae in the Share a Milk Shake bundle, I had to create a hot fudge sundae.  This is a fun and easy card to create.  I have enjoyed creating some fun cards with this bundle.  Using the color sweet sorbet so on this card makes it look so bright.  I also used the silver foil to die cut the spoon.  I add wink of stella on the hot fudge to add a littler glitter it.  

Here are the items used in this project:

Irresistible Blooms Card

 This is a beautiful floral card we created in our March class.  This bundle in our March Online Exclusives.  I stamped the flowers in colored ink which on white cardstock which gives outlined the flowers.  This gives the card a softer looking flower.  I have been having fun using this bundle.  I added Wink of Stella to the flowers for some glimmer.

Supplies used in this project:

Beautifully Happy Birthday Card

This is one of my favorite stamp sets with our sale-a-bration this year. My favorites are is this floral set and the adorable owl set.  What I love about this set is the that is that you stamp the color of the flowers and leaves in with a stamp.  Very easy and quick to do.  First you stamp the outline stamp and then fill in the colors with stamps.  I also used one our new designers series paper in our January - April mini catalog, regency park.  I wish this paper was 12 x 12 but its only 6 x 6.
