Spirelli Scallop

I just saw this idea on Samantha Parisi's blog. She has made an awesome tutorial you can see HERE. You can get many different looks from this just by how you wrap the cord. So cool! The layout was Beate's 28th Sketch challenge.
Here is is close up.
The Old Olive Circle behind the scallop is just the round tab punch layered.

Recipe
-Stamps-Big Pieces, Snow Flurries and Season of Joy.
-Ink-Old Olive, Real Red and River Rock
-Paper-Dashing DSP; Old Olive, Real Red, River Rock and Whisper white cardstock
-Accessories-Scallop punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, round tab punch, ticket corner punch, sponges, silver brads.

Birthday RAK

I got this birthday RAK from Kitty (OregonStamper) from SCS. Isn't it gawgousbiggrin?! I just love the layout, and the colors she used! I think I'm going to have to case this one to send to someone else! Recipe (Or my best guesses of one)
-Stamps-Priceless and It's your birthday
-Ink-Really Rust
-Paper-Fall Flowers, and Groovy Guava prints DSP. Groovy Guava and Really Rust cardstock
-Accessories-Groovy Guava Double Stitched ribbon, Photo Corner Punch, Jumbo eyelets.

Nugget boxes

My original plan for Christmas gifts was nugget tins, but everyone was sold out of them. I did a few like these, but they were just too much trouble for the amount I needed, so thats why I ended up making cocoa tins. I got the pattern for this from SCS. -Stamps-Snowflake Spot, Many Merry Messages.
-Ink-Bashful Blue, Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate Chip
-Paper-Purely Pomegranate & Whisper White Cardstock. Blizzard wrapping paper
-Accessories-Scallop Circle punch, Circle punch, Avery Labels, Brayer, retired copper cord.

This one is a gift card tin (I don't know where it came from though. I've had it laying around for a while begging me to decorate it). This tin holds 8 nuggets.-Stamps-Many Merry Messages
-Paper-Bashful Blue and Whisper White cardstock; Blizzard Wrapping paper
-Accessories-Bashful Blue ribbon.

Cocoa Tins

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been trying to get ready for Christmas. I'm finally just about done with my shopping! I've been making some of these cocoa tins for Christmas gifts. The tins came from SpecialtyBottle. I used the 8 ounce size. They are very easy to make. I used SU's small cello bags, filled one with mini marshmallows, and the other with hot cocoa mix. I got the idea HERE. For the tags, I just printed the names from my computer. I used the RGB codes so I could print them in SU colors. Recipe
-Stamps-Snowflake Spot (used on one of the tags)
-Ink-Bashful Blue
-Paper-Dashing DSP, Blizzard Wrapping paper, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock.
-Accessories-Bashful Blue and White grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Circle punch, Circle Punch (I can't ever remember the size, but it's the biggest one SU has).

I think thats everythingbiggrin

Birthday Card =)

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. We've been fixing the Sheetrock in the living room (we had a window leaking), so I couldn't finish painting my living room till that was done. I also had to wait to put up my tree because it goes in the corner where one wall was painted and the other wasn't. This is the latest I have EVER put up my tree. I prefer to put it up in Octoberwink. I'm so happy to have my living room all done finally! Now I just have to finish cleaning up the Sheetrock dust again! Man I hate that stuff. It gets in every little nook and cranny!
I can't make anything right now because my stamp room is a disaster. The closet I keep the Christmas decorations in is in the stamp room. It's a very small closet, so I had to take everything out to get to the tree, which now covers most of my table and floor. I can just barely get to the computermrgreen.

But I will share a gorgeous card with youbiggrin. My best friend Caroline (SweetCarolineSC on SCS) sent me an early birthday card. I absolutely LOVE it! Thanks Caroline! Love ya girl!
She said it was mostly a CASE from SCS.Recipe
-Stamps-Symbols of Solicitude, Artfully Asian, Canvas Background
-Cardstock-Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Basic Black, Whisper White
-Ink-Staz-on, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink
-Accessories-Pewter brads, White grosgrain ribbon, blender pen, White Signo gel pen.

I think thats everything.
