DeNami Product Spotlight: Upright Thank You


Welcome to the LAST Product Spotlight --- for this year anyway!!
It's the super fun and unique upright THANK-YOU sentiment. Perfect to use on all of the Christmas Thank-You cards we all need to send out.   The stamp is 10% for this week only.

I cleaned out my craft stash this summer and passed most of my extra supplies and card kits along to stamping friends and cards for soldiers.  This was one card that I had already cut, it just needed some stamping.  I think the card was from the DeNami classes 3 or so years ago. Yes, I am a hoarder! It did work perfectly with this upright thank you stamp though... perfect fit!  I added some leaf stamping to coordinate with the background paper.  Added some black rhinestones and black ribbon. You must stop by the DeNami Blog and see how the other Design Team Ladies used this fun stamp.
Stamps: Upright Thank You,  Leaf from the Elegant Floral Set, Leaf from Whimsical Set.
Paper: Cream, Black,  Chandler Sampler Pack,
Ink: Black & Toffee
Misc: Black Rhinestones,  5/8 sheer black ribbon.

DeNami Gift Wrapping Blog Hop -December




Welcome to the DeNami  GIFT WRAPPING Blog Hop.
You should be arriving from Barbara's Blog.... if not, you can start at the beginning by visiting the DeNami Blog.


I cheated a bit, I wrapped my gift using some fun striped foil paper.  I figure the tag I made is busy enough, so a "boring" base would be okay.  I added ribbon and a jingle bell too. 


Here is the close up of the tag.  Isn't the Penguin saying Merry Christmas just the cutest!!!   I made this tag last Christmas and never got around to using it.   

  Thanks for stopping by.....  The next stop on the hop is LINDA.

CAS-ual Friday #29



CAS-ual Friday Challenge #29.  Such a fun and versatile sketch -- I couldn't wait to play along.  I have neglected this little fuzzy ball stamp from DeNami - so I grabbed it and made a playful Birthday card for a special little boy.  There are tons of little faces you can make with this one fuzzy ball.  I chose the Friendly Faces Set for this card. 

CPS Sketch & Young Crafters Unite





I struggle with manly cards ---  I want to add glitter, ribbon, and rhinestones!!
This card was made using the CPS Sketch and the Masculine Theme for the Young Crafters Unite Challenge #3. I missed the cutoff for this challenge :-( 
  I picked up this SU set at a yard sale this summer.... it's perfect for my brother in law. 
My card turned out exactly like the sketch, which normally doesn't happen. Nice and simple, perfect for my deer loving brother in law.

Basic Directions:  I embossed 6 stockings using versarmark & white embossing powder.  I cut out all of them and did some basic stamping to add some pattern to them.  Large Circles & Scalloped Circles thanks to my spellbinders dies and added some texture using a new SU embossing folder.
