Christmas Season


It's been a very busy Christmas Season. I haven't had much time to post.  Just wanted to share with you my Christmas Card for 2011 and the candy toppers I made to give to the folks in my office.

Hope you all have a very nice Christmas and a wonderful New Year.  God Bless you all, Julia

Post-it Note Holder

Last week on Stamping School Linda had the cutest Top Note Box.  Here's my version...


I love the blue's and browns together so this one really struck my eye!  I used Elegant Soiree DSP for the top of the box.  The bottom part is Baja Breeze CS (can't see it in the picture).  You cut two top notes from the thick packaging paper that comes in the 12x12 packs of DSP and the glue your DSP and CS to those so they're thicker and more sturdy for the tops of the box.  The Stamp Sets are Nature Walk and Teeny Tiny Wishes.  You use the Small Oval Punch for the sentiment and sponged with Soft Suede Classic Ink, 2-1/2" Circle Punch and 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Extra-Large Punch.  Under that is the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlets(R) Die punched in Soft Suede CS.  Behind the swirls is a layer of the Elegant Soiree DSP, then Crumb Cake CS, layered onto the Top Note that you created with the same DSP (striped sheet).   The little flower is punched with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack Flower and I added a Basic Pearl to the center.  Inside the box is a Post-it-Note pad for taking notes.  Would be a really nice gift for a co-worker, don't you think?  (To make the box that is sandwiched between the two Top Notes I used Baja Breeze CS, one piece for the bottom cut at 4-1/8" x 4-1/8", score 1/2" on all sides.  Top of box is 4-1/4" x 4-1/4", also score 1/2" on all sides.  Cut slits on corners of 1/2" on opposite sides of each piece to enable you to fold and make into a box. (Hope that makes sense to you???) ..... anyway, have fun and let me know if you have any questions.  If you'd like to join Stamping School, click on the link above and get information.  Linda is a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator and you can join her School and get new projects every week to use at your Workshops!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I saw this card at CardScraps this morning and lifted it right away.  Here's my version using Pear Pizazz.  She used Old Olive and Garden Green for the two that she created.  I personally think her colors are deeper and look better than the Pear Pizazz, but hey, at least I made a St. Patty's card??? LOL!!!


I used Teeny Tiny Wishes  for the sentiment and So Happy for You Stamp Set for the "lucky" clovers.  The card base is Pear Pizazz with a layer of Crumb Cake.  I used the Top Note Die and Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Also the two smaller Oval Punches and the Scallop Oval Punch.  The ribbon I used is Pear Pizazz Seam Binding.  Hope you are all LUCKY on this St. Patrick's Day.  Happy Stamping!

Christmas Creations 2009

I made some gift card holders and a tag...used the Designer Specialty Paper Christmas Cocoa. Scallop Circle, Top Note Die, Christmas Ornament Punch and Delightful Decorations Stamp Set along with Red CS and Soft Suede ink for sponging. The tag was punched with the Bigz Two Tag Die and the ribbon is the White Satin and there is a brad on the tag from the Pretties Kit and silver stretch cord for hangers. I got the Top Note Die idea from Inking Idaho and the other envelope looking idea from somebody's blog, but for the life of me I can't find it (so sorry) ~

Halloween Treats


I used the new Batty for You stamps to create these little treats. The #2 Box I cut out of DSP Cast-A-Spell and filled with little candy bars wrapped in the coordinating back-side of the paper that I used for the box. Rich Razzleberry Ink and CS, scallop punch and 1 1/4" circle punch and 1 3/8" circle punch layered with the Trick or Treat..smell my feet! For the bag I used the Top Note Die and the same scallops and circle with the scallop out of Whisper White CS and sponged along the edges with Rich Razzleberry Classic stampin' pad. Oh yeah, wrapped the box with Rich Razzleberry dotted swiss ribbon and tied the tag on with linen thread. Happy Halloween!
