A Few Christmas Treats

Just 2 more Christmas posts before I switch to the rest of the upcoming year.

I made these quick and easy gifts to go in the bag with the rest of a gift for a friend.

Since my friend likes to paint her toes all the time I used the Mistletoes Topper by Jamie Cripps found in the Silhouette store to make this package. I used the Jaded Blossom Scallop Slider and Topper die for my base then added some Wink of Stella and some rhinestones.

For this second treat I made some homemade caramel popcorn and put it in a cello bag from Bulk Barn. Next I used Lori Whitlock's Popcorn Box to place my bag of yumminess in. The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Freshly Baked stamp set and the moose is Merry Moose from Our Craft Lounge .

Last little gift is a jar of Olives, my friend LOVES olives. I had the perfect sentiment for this gift. I used the Jaded Blossom Olive You stamp set, stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves and colored in with Copics.. perfect! I'm sure that I will use this stamp set over and over again.

I think she will love these little quick and easy treats, just as much as I enjoyed making them for her. 

Let's Wine About It!!

Hi everyone! Well after working 2 jobs for the summer it's finally time to get back to crafting. So what better way to start than by making a birthday card.

A friend of mine recently celebrated her birthday and I had made a visit to my favorite Scrapbooking stores Crafty Capers in Nanaimo a few weeks earlier. I bought this Art Impressions stamp and a few other things that I really needed... lol.

I started by stamping her with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cutting out the image with my Spellbinders label 9 die. Then colored her in with various Copics and added some Glossy Accents to the glass.

I made the background from one of the stamps in the Jaded Blossom Happy Hour Candies stamp set, then added some ribbon and a few popdots to my lady. 

The inside sentiment comes from  the Jaded Blossom's Olive You stamp set.

Love how two of my favorite companies came together to make this card. Make sure to check out both of their websites and blogs.
