Today I was going through pictures on my computer. Deleting ones I don't need, sorting through and categorizing them. I came across a Calendar workshop I designed and hosted the first year I became a Stampin Up Demonstrator. I relied heavily on Cricut for the words and seasonal diecuts. It was a lot of prep work, so many pieces and layers. But the end results are awesome. II downloaded a calendar grid and reprint each year.  I still use the calendar today as my everyday calendar. So I just thought I'd share.
I hope you enjoy

I love decorating for the holidays. But sometimes when life gets crazy with all the running around, I don't get much of a chance to enjoy all the decorating. And, well sometimes it feels more like another chore I have to get done. But I created this holiday lantern. It's been sitting on my shelf waiting for the perfect time to be "blogged".  I was inspired from a few lanterns I had seen on Pinterest. I love Pinterest, have I said that yet?

I will admit this was my first attempt at using our new Festive Flower Builder Punch. It was so easy to do! For the Poinsettia, I stamped then punched out the petals and layered them to create the flower.  It was the perfect adornment to my lantern.

I used our Vellum paper to make the milk carton shape of the lantern. I stamped the Hardwood background stamp in Early Espresso and really waited for the ink to dry before scoring and folding. I will say after making this once, I would definitely use a stayzon ink for the fast drying.

I added a binder clip to hold the lantern closed. I wanted the inside to be accessible pretty easily. The Gold Sequins, new Gold Glitter Ribbon and New Gold Cording Trim are adhered to the lantern with glue dots so the won't fall off when you take of the clip.

And what's a lantern without a little light? Right?

Inside the lantern is a little battery operated tealight. How cute! I am really excited to put this on display during the holidays. I can even be hung on a tree!

I hope I inspired some of your holiday decorating too!

Happy Stamping!

Today I finalized my Christmas card design. I'm so happy! Once I figured out what I wanted to do I was on a roll. I'll give a sneak peak, but you'll have to wait for Christmas to see the cards. I will share that I used the Home for Christmas DSP. Love this paper!! I prepped as much as I could and stamped enough for 100 cards. But I had to place an order for supplies. I can't wait for the order to come in so I can keep going. Just need to print out our family picture. And when it's all prepped, assembled! Wah-la!!! Definitely feeling accomplished today!
