Christmas Ornament with SS

This week's Sweet Stamps Challenge is a:

Christmas Ornament

I created my own ornament, using a fun technique that has been going around the web for awhile now and then used Sweet Stamps to create a tag to go with it!
(The post before this shows how I created the ornament)

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of just the ornament!  I used vinyl to add "Alaina" to the ornament.  I created this for a friend as the had an adorable little girl this past January and one year for Christmas I created ornaments for her and her husband and thought I better create one for their little girl now!

I just love this non-traditional colored Christmas tag! The Merry Christmas Script is a great font!

A close-up:

I love this Winter Tree!  I used Liquid Applique to add snow to the tree!  So fun!  Then of course had to add some bling!

I used a snowflake die to create these snowflakes and then added some Creative Inspirations Paint in Winter Frost to make them shimmer!

Glittery Ornaments

I still am hooked on creating those wonderful glittery Christmas ornaments!

I decided I needed to make some with Creative Inspirations lovely Resplendence Glitters!

They are so easy and fun to make!  My kids love making them with me!

1. Gather Your Supplies:

Pledge With Future Shine (Blue Cap)

Creative Inspirations Resplendence Glitters

Clear Ornaments (Got mine from Hobby Lobby)

Paper Towels

Vinyl and Cricut(optional)

2. Remove top and add Pledge to the inside.

3. Use finger to hold paper toweling on the opening.

4. Shake! 

5. After shaking for a few seconds, pour excess back into the bottle.

6. Carefully pour glitter in the inside.

7. Cover again with paper towel and shake!

Just look at the beautiful shimmery glitter!! LOVE!

For this one I used Resplendence Regal Red!

And one with Resplendence Emerald Green!

Aren't they beautiful!!!??!!!

Creative Inspirations also carries Resplendence Glitters in Burgundy and Angel Dust!

So get started on those Holiday ornaments!

A fun option, which I didn't do with the two above, is to personalize them with a name!

Using your Cricut you can cut a vinyl name and adhere it to the ornament!

Here's a picture of me adding the name "Alaina" to another one I created. 

These make wonderful gifts!

As I mentioned before they are also fun to create with the kids!

We made a set two years ago and each Christmas each of us hang ours on the tree!

As shown above, they are also perfect without a name!

Have a great day!

Graduation

Good morning!

We recently had a graduation party to go to, what fun!
I just love summer parties!

Here is the card I created:

I used the More Mini Thoughts set from My Thoughts Exactly!

I just love all the mix and match sentiments in this set!  

There are so many different possibilities in one set!

In Make The Cut I love the feature in which you can create shapes into Rhinestone, it's so fun to make your own rhinestone templates.  Which is what I did for the star!

PAS Just Stitch It

There is another great challenge on the Paper and Such blog!

Just Stitch It

Here's the tag I created:

A friend of mine recently purchased a new house!

So I thought this tag would be nice to put on the gift I got her!

The sentiment and house came from the new Heart Strings set released from PAS this month!

I masked the house image so that I could just ink up the heart to add it next to the sentiment!

As you can see I also added some faux stitching around the tag!

The cute little house:
