A few Christmas projects

I can hardly believe how windy it has been here in Maryland today! Every time I go outside I feel like I’m going to blow over.

Our poor puppies even with sweaters make their ‘out side’ time as limited as possible. Poor little buttercup clears the stairs and does her business as close to the door as possible. I can’t complain too much since it makes for easy clean up.

I’ve gotten a little stamping done today. Above you can see the sleigh I’ve been working on. In the pictures the glittered mod podge finish does not show up very well. The finished project is very sparkly and I plan to fill them with either candies or I’m even thinking of Christmas ornaments and gift tags. Most of these will be gifted to my neighbors.

The card organizer box is done with double sided decorative papers, I found a template on splitcoast stampers in the scor-pal forums. Get this, I used a Scor-It to complete the project. I far prefer the scor-it to the score pal. It is much easier to use and the measurements are more percise so if you have the need for a great tool, go buy yourself one. You won’t regret the purchase! You can find out more about their products and even find some great templates and ideas by clicking here.

The stationary box took me approximately 45 minutes to complete. It is detailed with shrink plastic butterflies as well as prima flowers and dew drops. I detailed the box with stickles. I wish you could touch the paper, it is embossed.

The back of the box is detailed as well. I used stickles randomly and a small shrink plastic butterfly. Instead of using cord for the sides I used ribbon. It is not a difficult project. It just takes a little time.

I hope every one has a nice evening!

Stamp Happy!
