Joy

I absolutely love these two cards! I am a big fan of Kraft card stock and at Christmas I think the color combos are amazing! Thanks to my friends Susan and Doreen, for these beautiful cards!

Christmas beauty

These beautiful cards were made by Casey and Sylvia! I love the simplicity of both of them, yet each one is so pretty! Thank you ladies!

Let it snow...

It's almost January and still no snow. Maybe these two beautiful cards will start something. Thanks to my friends Bettie and Gena for their beautiful cards!

Holy family

I received so many beautiful handmade Christmas cards this year. In the next few days I will share them with you. These three of the Holy family were made by Melissa, Shari, and Monica. Stunning...thank you ladies!

Ho ho ho

Another cute card made at Sylvia's card class.

Ugly and bright

We made this fun card at Sylvia's card class last week. We know how popular ugly sweaters are...and this one is no different. Really though the card is actually cute if you ask me! Thanks Sylvia!

Elf pillows

This cute treat would be great for all you people who do the elf on a shelf for your kids...how fun to give the elf on a shelf some elf pillows one morning...your kids will love it!

Thanks Sylvia for yet another awesome treat!

Rudolph

This cute little fella was so easy to make. We used a labels 8 die and folded it in half. The antlers are from a snowflake die. Circle punches for the eyes and nose...simple and so cute!

Santa

This fun Santa is a treat worth receiving! We covered a Hershey candy bar and added all the punched  pieces to create Santa! Don't forget to add his rosy red cheeks...so cute!

Also...a friendly reminder:

If you need anything from Amuse Studio before the big move, TODAY is the last day that orders will be shipping out of the Seattle office.  All orders must be placed by December 17, 2015 at 11:59 pm Eastern time.

Card class

Went to Sylvia's card class on Monday and it was so much fun!

We made several fun treats that we could give as gifts...one being this cute popcorn snowman.

His hat is actually a pair of ladies gloves. Wrap the popcorn with sugar card stock, add his cute face and tie his hat with your favorite ribbon...oh so darling!

Visit all week to see more cute projects we made..thanks Sylvia!

stamp club craft day

Christmas craft day with the stamp club. 

Working on our tags. Sorry we missed you Casey and Shari.

Hope you are feeling better Shari.

Some cute and simple tags we made during our get together.

Another cute treat we made at stamp club craft day. Mini Starbuck cup filled with candy and wrapped in cello and a darling tag made using perk up and need to venti amuse stamp sets.

Treats just for you!

Made these cute treat bags using the lawn fawn candy bag die. Amuse studio has one very similar without the cut out for the handle. I added a die cut tree from amuse studio, stamped with the word Joy from Amuse studio's December Stories stamp set.

Here I filled it with all sorts of fun items for my stamp club group. The K-cup was stamped with a snowman face I had in my stash of stamps.

Merry Christmas

I wanted to share a card I bought at a craft show. Such a pretty card and easy to duplicate. Love all the sparkle despite the fact I am not a glitter person.

Cute tags

Here are some cute tags made by our amuse studio gals. Simple and quick with our amuse studio gingerbread die and now die. Darling!

Friends!

I made several of these cute cards for a few friends of mine. I love Lawn Fawn stamps and snowmen so this was meant to be in my stash of stamp sets. The cardstock is from amuse studio along with the sentiment from Flaky Friends.

Inside sentiment with a punched red heart says it all to my friends.

Lawn Fawn Stamp set has matching dies too!

Yesterday Alison and I were Christmas shopping in Indy and first time ever she says "Mom, can we go to Hobby Lobby?" Shocked but pleased! Look how pretty her wreath turned out that she made!

Great job Alison!

This is a quick and simple decoration for your holiday table. Simply put fresh cranberries in several different sized mason jars. Fill with water and add a glass votive to the top. At Christmas you could add fresh pine to the water and really add some beauty!

Merry

Two fun cards we made at Sylvia's.

This one doubles as a gift card and Christmas card all in one!

Craft club

I went to craft club last night and this was one of the projects we made. 

Isn't the little clay pot nativity adorable! 

Thanks Linda for this amazing Christmas decoration!

We also made these great Christmas tags. So easy...thanks Gaylynn!

My craft was to teach everyone how to make this JOY banner. 

I pretty much had everything ready to go and they just needed to assemble their banner.

What a great night it was by all....good friends, food, and our love of crafting! Thanks ladies!

Treat bag

What a great treat for your friends. We made this at Sylvia's card class on Monday.

So easy...stamp and emboss the deer and add your sentiment. Attach the white pennant to the gold glittered one, add some sequins and a red nose to the deer. We put a large and yummy cookie inside of the treat bag before closing it with the glittered clothespin. Perfect for the upcoming holidays!

Let it snow

We made this adorable shaker card at Sylvia's the other day. We used the new fuse tool to seal the pocket after we filled it with sequins, beads, and our floating snowman. I love this card!

You did it!

Congratulations to Abi for passing the bar exam! 

My sister painted Abi a sash as well...love it!

Pretty much the sign says it all...my boss made the sign on her computer and I stamped the images with amuse studio happy hour stamp set...perfect for the occasion!

Welcome little one

My boss' daughter is expecting and here is the invitation to her shower. 

I used an embossing folder for a quick and very cute invitation. 

My boss made matching dessert labels with the embossed image...so cute and yummy!

Love the baby banner made from a pattern and the baby booties are from amuse studio stocking die...just cut off the cuff.

My sister painted the words on a burlap sash...adorable...as well as the Mama-to Be!
