O Tanenbaum

Hello Stampers,
I saw this die at Heather's Stamping Haven here in Ottawa and just loved the whimsical simplicity of it. I am loving these flat steel dies - they are so easy to use and store. This particular die is from a company in the Netherlands called Marianne Designs. I think what appealed to me most about this tree is that the shape of it reminds me of the silhouette of a fir tree with big pillows of snow on the branches. Anyway, I cased this card from Christina at My Paper Secret. I loved the simple cheeriness of the card. I used Old Olive, and Certainly Celery for the trees and the sentiment is from "Curly Cute" stamp set. Hope you like it.

Happy Stamping,
Meg

Christmas Wine Tag

Hello Everyone,
I recently ordered some things from Papertreyink for the first time - I can tell you it won't be the last; the quality of their dies and stamps is exceptional. I got this wine tag die and am loving it. This is a tag I designed using the Wonderful Words stamp set and Holiday Die collection. The little holly leaves were made with a Cheery Lynn die and the Berries were punched with a single hole punch and glitter foam I got at the $ store. Easy and what a great way to dress up a bottle of wine.

Happy Stamping,
Meg

I am back...Paper Players Challenge: CAS White, Navy, and Silver

Hello Everyone,
When I saw this week's Paper Players Challenge, I knew I had to enter. I haven't blogged in awhile. Life this school year has been much busier and while I am still crafting away, I have not posted anything. So, here it goes. I finally broke down and purchased a few things from Papertrey Ink. I love their thin dies and they make the snowy hills on this card so easy. Of course I had to use my new favourite holiday set "Christmas Lodge". Ironically, when I first saw this set, it did nothing for me. Then I saw the cards people were creating with it and knew that I had to have it. It has been one of my best-sellers at classes and workshops too. I hope you like the card - it was inspired by many in the gallery at splitcoaststampers, so go check it out and get casing!

Happy Stamping,
Meg
