Candy Cane Fairy Treat Box

VC Candy Cane Treat Box




This little Candy Cane Fairy from Victoria Case is adorning a tag box made to give truffles in. The truffles were a lot more difficult on to make than this little box. The main ingredient in the truffles (excluding chocolate of course) was patience.... something I don't have tons of! :)

I hope that you all have a wonderful and Merry Christmas!

Snow Much Fun

I am falling behind on my blog.... Christmas is catching up to me and as always I have more things that I want to do than I have time for. These pictures have been uploaded since early last week, but I forgot to make my posts... dur.... so I may have mulitiple projects posted tomorrow if I remember to get the posts done! :)

This card features another digi from Karen's Doodles... isn't she cute? Makes me wish for a little bit of snow to go out and play in. The main panel is embellished with handstiching and snowflakes made from a mixture of circut and spellbinders die cuts.

Have a happy day! Smiles ~ Brandi

Snowman Treat Box

Snowman project 1



I just stumbled on Maria Bell's blog Stampin Inspirations the other day. She has tons of awesome tutorials ~ this project features the Treat Box Ensemble. She has awesome step by step directions and pictures.. Thank you Maria! :)

It's getting to where I just have scraps of my funky Bo Bunny Christmas paper... thankfully there was enough left for this project. I finally got to use one of my Paper Makeup Stamp sets again... Snow Happy. The snowmen are super cute and I love the sentiments.

The candies are Hershey's nuggets covered with random stamped labels. The bag topper is made with the Stampin Up Top Note die and the packet that says Warm Winter Wishes is holding a bag of instant cocoa.



These little gifts are really quite easy to make and would be wonderful to have on had for all the little unexpected gifts we all end up having to give! :)

Be sure to visit Maria's blog... it is fabulous!

Have a happy merry day! :)

Baby's First Snow

Baby's First Snowflake

Here is another cute digi stamp from Karen's Doodles... Baby's First Taste of Snow. I am loving her stamps.. super cute, fun to color and simple but detailed. This card was my attempt clean and simple card making... as you can see it didn't exactly work out. :)

I based my card on the sketch on the left from I heart 2 stamp. All papers are from My Mind's Eye and the coloring was done with Copics.
Have a beautiful day! I am planning on taking some pictures because we had a snowfall last night... and tonight it is off to see a Christmas program... hopefully this will improve my holiday outlook! :)

Karen's Doodles is a new to me digital stamp company... you can visit her here. There is a pretty amazing candy giveaway going on her design blog... Doodle Diva's. Go sign up ... who knows you just might win! :)

My card features Moose with Lights cause most of us know there is someone in my family with a slight moose addiction! :) The image was fun to color.. the bulbs and the bow have liquid glass on them but it isn't showing up very well in the photo.

Hope you are having a wonderful day! :)

Nora

Nora ATS

Nora is another adorable Swiss Pixie from All That Scraps. She is paired with their Winter Tree and Amy R's Winter Sentiments. The papers are all from K& Co exluding the cardstock. The snow was made with liquid pearls and smooch paint. I also added some liquid pearls and glitter to the snow flake buttons. All That Scraps weekly challenge is to use snowflakes... that wasn't difficult... lots of Christmas cards to be made! :) Wishing you a wonderful mid-winter day... Smiles ~ Brandi

Warm Whimsie Wed. Wishes

Peguins

So what's your favorite thing about Whimsie Doodles digi stamps? My favorite thing is that they are so whimsical and cute... easy to color and embellish. Okay so that might have been more than one thing... oops...

You can find the stamp Tree Trimmers here and the sentiment (it's a full sheet for only 99 cents) here! The Whimsie Wednesday Challenge is to use cookie (circle) shapes on your card which fit perfectly with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

Thanks for dropping in to visit me! Have a terrific day! :)

Holly ... the Christmas Fairy

Mo's Christmas Angel

I would like to introduce you to Holly if you haven't already met... Holly is a Christmas fairy... a very rare fairy indeed. She needs you to believe in the magic of Christmas....

Holly is a digital drawing from Mo of Mo's Digital Pencil. She has been sitting colored on my desk for many moons now waiting for the right sketch, the right paper, and the right sentiment to come along. This weeks sketch from Friday Sketchers fit the bill perfectly as did the wonderful holiday papers from K&Co and the fabulous digi sentiments from Whimsy Doodles. She was also made for the Mo's Digital Pencil challenge - traditional Christmas colors and the card must be for someone special... The color inspiration also fit perfectly with the Hope Stamps Enternal's Cupcake Challenge... so much fun! :)

I hope you have enjoyed meeting Holly... remember BeLiEvE!!!
