Mirror Christmas

   Merry Christmas everyone. This month's card sketch was a simple design which features a diagonal design element.

 

   Here is my take on my card sketch. 

I created an easel style card that features a stamped and embossed stopper inside. 

   As you can tell this embossed mirror cardstock was highly reflective. 

   I kept the line design suped simple with different metallic washi tape strips. 

 You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of the sketches.  Just add your creation in the link in the Stick It Down sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in Feburary.

Ornaments Galore

   I have found time to be crafty during the busy shop season. I have been bitten by the ornament making bug. I love adding some new handmade keepsake to the trees. Here are a few of the new creations. 

I normally make a dated ornament for the the family tree, which is the first one shown. The back says 2022. The flowers on the the following the ornaments are made from Crafter's Companion flower foam. 

Here is one of my favorite ones that I made and it is my latest. Last night, I may have seen this cool ornament DIY on @joann_stores account and knew I need to make it today.

Made this ornament featuring the Holly series by @c.c._warrens

I am going to make another ornament featuring the top 10 books that I have read this year. I see myself making this type of ornament every year.

           

I used my Cameo4 to cut out this from Cardstock Warehouse mirror cardstock. I love the look of this on. I am going to make another one of these for a little gift for the mailman. 

This one came out great. I had this glass ornament for years that I kept from a air plant that died. I am glad I finally remembered that I had it to create this. 

Here are some family ones that I did for everyone in the family. 

 This is what the back looks like.

Wreath Ornament

   Can you believe it is Dec. 4th already? This summer I haven't been that crafty for me since I have been dealing with some intense headaches due to my eye problems. I am happy to say that has been solved so I am I have been in full holiday mode since Nov. 

Yesterday, I made this cute tree ornament from a Mason jar lid rim. I have a box of those lids in my craft closet since I use the plastic lids on the jars instead.

I wrapped the rim with green florist tape, you could do ribbon or paint it but this is what I had on hand.

I then took green cardstock scraps and die cut the greenery, the dies are from Crafter's Companion and Tim Holtz by Sizzix. 

• The larger diecuts to the top.
• The longer, thiner diecuts are glued on the side of the rim. 
• The small ones are stuck where there need a little filler. 

I then die cut some cirecles from mirror cardstock and glued them to top to create "berries".

Just add a bow and a twine hanger and it is done. 

 Now, I am off to make more since like I said before I have a box of these lids and they have been untouched for years.
