Home Together Dies - I'm Back!

 Hi All,

I've not been posting on my blog since October because I had a complete knee replacement, so I've been healing and going for physical therapy.  I haven't felt like being creative, but hoping to get back into it very soon.  Since today is my birthday, I thought I would show you what I have been doing. I decorated a little lighted tree which took me several weeks because it was hard to get up and down from my chair each time I needed something.  The idea came from Cyndi Johnson.


  


Here are the instructions for the ornaments for the tree and where to buy the lighted tree.



1.      For the Birdhouses: Cut Whisper White cardstock at 3” x 3” and score at 1” on all four sides to create the house cube. Use the heart-cut die to cut two from Cherry Cobbler or Shaded Spruce.  For the solid house dies, cut two from Whisper White cardstock.  Glue pieces together and add to two of the sides.

2.    For the Roof: Cut 2-1/4” x 1-3/8” from Whisper White and the same from the DSP.  Score in half.  Punch a hole in the middle of the scoreline and add a loop of the Gold Ribbon on the Whisper White Roof.  Adhere the DSP to the White Roof.

3.    The trees and snowflakes were made with the Home Together and So Many Snowflake Dies.  The trees from the DSP are two-sides using the Adhesive Sheets (I cut one Shaded Spruce tree and adhered the Gold Ribbon for the loop and then adhering the DSP trees to both sides).  Do the same for the snowflakes cutting one Whisper White snowflake, adhering the loop, and then attach the adhesive snowflakes to each side. The adhesive sheets make it so much easier.

The battery-operated tree can be purchased from Amazon and it takes three AA batteries.  Amazon.com: 24" LED Birch Tree with 24 Lights (2 Packs), Tabletop Lighted Bonsai Birch Tree Battery Powered Thanksgiving Table Decoration Light for Indoor Christmas Party Home and Bedroom Fall décor: Home & Kitchen

Christmas Means More


.

 I love this sentiment from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.  This stamp set is called Christmas Means More and there are other sentiments in this set that I like too. This card was inspired by Mary Fish, although I didn't have the same ribbon she had which was the Shaded Spruce Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack.  I used her measurements for my card.  

1.     The base of the card is 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 3-1/2” and 9.

2.    Cut the Tis the Season DSP at 3-1/4” x 4” and 1-3/4” x 4.

3.    Whisper White cardstock is die cut with the Stitched Shape Dies at 2-5/8” Square and with the Stitched Rectangle Dies at 3-3/8” x 4-3/4”.

4.    Cut the Shaded Spruce cardstock at 3-1/8” square and the Cherry Cobbler cardstock at 2-7/8” square.

5.    Adhere the DSP to outside flaps of the cards with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

6.    Adhere half the Shaded Spruce square to the left side with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

7.    Cut the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon about 14”.  Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the ribbon on the Shaded Spruce square and then wrap around the entire card.

8.    Attach two Jingle Bells to some Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tie it all together in a bow on the side.

9.    Ink up the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink and stamp on the Whisper White Stitched Shape Square.  Adhere to the Cherry Cobbler Square with Seal Adhesive.

10.  Attach to Shaded Spruce Square with Seal Adhesive or Dimensionals.

11.   Color the bells with Smoky Slate Blends.  Add Wink of Stella.

Don't Stop Believin' in Santa

Do you still believe in Santa?  Because no one has ever seen him, many people think that Santa Claus does not exist. But many, many others think that he does. In the US, for example, 85% of 5-year old children believe that Santa Claus exists, and the belief remains quite strong up to the age of 8. Hope you've all been good this year because I told my kids when they were young that as long as they believe in Santa, they would get presents from him.
 It's time to start thinking about Christmas, so about a Christmas in July card with a new stamp set called "Don't Stop Believin' that will be available on August 4 from the August-December catalog?  I love this stamp set!
