Stamping With Kristen

Christmas Decor

I just got back from New York and New Jersey where I visited my dear friend Melony.  I took a couple pictures of some of the decor she had up in her place.

I like how she can change this Shadow frame with different decorations for the different seasons.  If you look in my home decor category, I have a Fall version pictured from my house.  This is so simple to make with our Decor Elements.  It makes a great gift!

This is a Tile from a hardware store that she stamped using our StazOn pad and permanent markers.  She then used a dry erase marker to change the count down.

These have been so much fun to make!  Th Big Shot is a huge part of this project to make the scallop squares, letters and the textured red card stock.

I used a paper piercer to make the holes around the scallop square.

Please let me know if you would like help in making one of these!  I am selling packs of them for $10 with everything ready to assemble.  email me

There are so many things you can do with Big Shot dies!  Not only does the Two Tags Die make cute gifts tags, but Marci Baldwin, a senior supervisor from Huntersville, North Carolina, used it to create the cute gift boxes shown above.

New Addition!

We surprised the kids last night with a Yorkie.  They were so excited.  Here is a picture of Kona, our newest little member of our family.

He is 2 lbs right now at 3 months and will most likely get to 4 lbs.  

I just had to show some pictures!  I will do a Stamping post later, but had to show off our new dog first.

Christmas Treat Bag

This is a great way to dress up some treats.  I used the Top Note Die, and the Christmas Punch level 2 hostess set.

Here is a close up to see how I did the ribbon at the top.

1st Stamped Christmas Card received

This is the first Stamped Christmas Card that I have received.  I actually got it last week.  Julie Lamont made it for me.  She used several punches to make it along with the Big Shot.

I also received this cute thank you from Sharon Miller.  I am going to make some of these up for Christmas thank yous.  It is a great way to use up scraps.

More Christmas Treats

I made these treat holders using the ornament punch and our window sheets.  It is fun to see the treat!  The box on the right is using the Big Shot Matchbox Die.  Our Designer Series Paper and Ribbon dress it up nicely making it a quick project.

Christmas Treats

Here are a couple Christmas Treat Ideas:

Kim Vale made this tin.  What a fun way to dress up some Chocolates!  You take our Designer Series Paper and cover Hersheys Nuggets. 

I wish I remember who brought this to my meeting, but a great, simple way to add to a candy cane!

Build-A-Stack

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted.  Life has been busy! 

Today is my second day of my Build-A-Stack.  This is the most popular card:

I love when ladies come to stamp.  It is so fun to visit with them!  You will have to join me in January for my next Stamp-A-Stack featuring Sale-A-Bration sets!
