So Easy and Oh So Cute

I was plying with stamps, Big Shot Die's and embossing folders at my friend Barb's home a few weeks ago and she brought out this cute Christmas ornament embossing folder which I naturally had to try. I used a piece of Kraft card stock as it was cut and sitting at my fingertips but didn't do anything with it until I got home. This card was so simple to make and fast too.

Recipe: Stamps: Deer Friends
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Kraft, Ski Slope Designer Paper

Embellishments: Chocolate CHip Grosgrain Ribbon, scallop circle, 1 3/8 inch circle punch, 1 inch circle punch, Red Dew Drops

Deer Friends

The Halloween Lollipop Box was very well received by Nicole's teacher and I have been asked to teach this project to students during the lunch hour as an alternative activity to keep students on school property during lunch.

Electives for October are filled up so we will be making a Christmas themed lollipop box with non other than "Deer Friends"...I love this set.

This will be so much fun.

Did I mention I learned how to make this from UStamp - just click on the right side bar for more information about UStamp Holiday which starts on Sunday, October 12, 2008. You won't be disappointed! Tell them Dale sent you.

Deer Friends

I absolutely love this stamp set "Deer Friends"! You can do so much with it - cards, tags, lollipop covers, gift boxes/bags the possibilities are endless.

One of the projects from UStamp was a card set with a gift bag and I choose to do a Christmas theme using the Patterns Pack Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!, Deer Friends, Heard From the Heart and a little ribbon. I love the simplicity of these Christmas cards and they could easily be mass produced .

If you would like to add Deer Friends to your wish list contact me to host a workshop. All you need to do is invite some friends and be prepared to have fun. You could have your workshop at your house or mine what ever works best for you.
