Trigger Tuesday over at Moxie Fab

 I had some fun using the warm colors of Kraft and Red for a challenge over at Moxie Fab Trigger Tuesday.I reclaimed a Kraft box and added some Red and Kraft ornaments, stamped with JustRite stamps and die cut with Spellbinders die's.I edged the box with the red ink and a sponge. I added some cotton ribbon under the ornaments to give it a splash.
I hope you like my take on Trigger Tuesday.

I put the card I made on top of the box.

JustRite Christmas Challenge JRC_063

I used a embossing folder on the card front and then added the ornament.

I stamped the snowflakes with the same ink I used for the brayer back ground.

I embossed the white mat with a snowflake embossing folder. I put versa mark on the ornament and then added bridal embossing powder to give it a shimmer.

I make my back ground by stamping the small ornament with the same ink I used on the brayer. I added small pearls to the centers to add a bit more glam to this card.

 I played around with my brayer this weekend. I stamped the images with versa mark ink and then used my brayer to go over the image with the inked brayer.I also used the ink as a reverse for backgrounds.I hope you think out side the box with some fun colors for Christmas cards this year.
Take care,
Donna

More Elf fun for you

I used a Martha Steward snow flake border punch for on the side and added some fun buttons to pull the colors out from the stripe paper.

I used copics to color and some pretty red gingham ribbon as an accent.

I used a tall gable favor box that I cut with and Accucut die and stamped the holly on the box with green ink and colored in the berry's with a red marker.The stamped image I die cut to just focus in on the elf and deer head to fit on the box.

 I have some more elf fun for you today. I just love these guys! Elves on Shelves. The stamps are from the girls over at Raisin Boat Stamps. I used Copic Markers to color them.

Thankgiving gift

 This is a remake or an up do it you will of a Martha Steward goodie box. I used a JustRite stamp for the design and spellbinders dies. I used prisma color pencils to color the design. The square lace doily motif was cu from color core paper and sanded to give it an aged look, and I edged the die cuts and box edge with Ranger distress ink. This is a fast and easy way to personalize a box of goodies for Thanksgiving host.
I can not beleive Thangsgiving is next week!

Moxie FabRandom Fun Challenge/ button card for button day ( really)

 I love this new stamp set Elves on staff from Raisin Boat. I found some time to color some images I had stamped. I used Copics for this card.  As I played around with this design I thought the snowflake border ( I used a Martha Steward punch to do this) I thought it needed something to fun it up a bit.Buttons I thought, Buttons. Then I thought Moxi Fab has a challenge for a card with Buttons.Well this card became a Moxie Fab card.I hope you like the whimsy that the buttons add to this card. Don't you just love the cute little elf?
I think I am done for the night I have a crazy week so I don't think I will be posting to much for a few days.
Well that's my Random fun button card for you.

Pay it forward Challenge project 2 over at Moxie Fab - Apple sauce bread

 I wanted to try this recipe I found on Recipes .com for apple sauce bread. I made a crockpot full of apple sauce I had some apples that needed to be used.This is more of a desert if you ask me.
I used a JustRite stamp for this shall we say bread bell band. I colored it with Copics and used Raisin Boat paper for the band and a Martha Steward border punch. It was a quick and simple project that just made that plan looking loaf of bread POP.  This is for my neighbor's who have been kind enough to give my daughter a ride home from Play practice because I have Lots of fitting for Brides at the end of the day and it would have been a big challenge for me to go and get her.They are such a big help to me.
I hope you like my 2nd project I did for the Pay it forward challenge over at Moxie Fab

Why not bake up some goodies for those who touch your life in kind ways.I think I gained 5 pounds just taste testing.I love the way the house smells when things are baking don't you?
Have a great week.

Pay it forward challenge over at Moxie Fab thank you goodies

 I spent much of this weekend making some goodies for people I want to say thank you for the things they do for me or my family.

Unbaked cookies ready for the oven.

Cookies all cooked and oh so good!

All bagged up and ready for giving.

Don't they look so pretty!

 I baked some fun cookies where I make one batch yellow and one red. I cut out small leaves of each color and them I mix them like leaves that turn uneven colors in fall.I stamped some pretty tags with Gena K stamps that a gal  from our church actually designed (Rupa) she designs for Gena K. I stamped the bags with the acorn stamp and stays on ink. The tags were tied on with a twine after the cookies were bagged up. I really like how they turned out. These are for the Middle school volunteers at our church which my daughter is a part of. I think these will get eaten up in know time!
I think this is a fun Pay it forward project for the Moxie Fab Pay if forward Challenge.

I just had to show you these fun mitten ornaments

 I just could not wait to try this fun mitten with the new lace borders. I die cut the mitten with a spellbinder die and then stamped it with rows of diffent laces and versa mark ink and then embossed it with red embossing powder. I did the same with the small doily.I edged the mittens with Ranger distress ink. I plan on making more for my daughter who is away for collage. I thought they would be fun for her little tree in the dorm. I plan on playing with more designs on the mittens to fill up the tree.
I hope you enjoy this fun little project.

The cuffs can just be cut with fun scraps you have for a fun touch.

I put a die cut spellbinders snowflake under the small doily.

Can't stop playing with JustRite lace stamps'''

Here is a fun little repurposed tin I did with JustRite Grandma's doily's and lace borders. I used a pretty blue patalic paper with a pewter embossing powder.I put a silver mat I cut with a spellbinders die to accent the embossing. I  just love these sets I think they are so great for Christmas projects.
I hope you like my fun tin I plan to give to My neighbor with some home made goodies for Christmas.

I did a border for around the tin to and added a fun tag.

Closer view of the pretty top of the tin.
