Make a project using the Double Twisted Easel Card (see the above link), post about it on your blog or in another forum and mention this blog hop and link up your post to the Blog Hop on Pat Huntoon's blog by Sunday, December 4th at 12 am EST.

My project today uses the Teepee Card tutorial from the 3D and Fun Folds Cd. I love that this card packs a WOW PUNCH with it. It will take a larger envelope and a bit more postage if I choose to mail it, but I think it is so much fun to create it is worth it! Or you can hand it off to your friend or loved one instead of mailing it.

Here are the materials I used from The Paper Temptress:Basis Light GReen from the Spring pkg. Metallics text Weight - Stardreams package

Stamp images are from I Brake For Stamps - Holiday Squares

Technique Junkie Newsletter Blog Hop Day Three

Hello Everyone -  I have been doing a lot of my Christmas shopping on line and I have to say, I wish there was SNOW!!! I guess I shouldn't be thinking that, as I would have to shovel but I think if we whiten things up here in my corner of the world, I would feel like it was more like Christmas. :)

Note - As I write the post the DRS Designs Store Blog is down for maintainance so I will link everything up when I get up in the morning!

Todays card makes me SMILE! I just love these little Penguins 966K. I cut the sentiment Sending you Happy thoughts 951D into strips and attached them to the card! I stamped the large Snowflake on the background and then ran the white card stock through my Big Shot with my Snowflake Cuddlebug folder. I used the Snowflake Spellbinders Die and added a button to my card!

I hope you have enjoyed my card! Check out the DRS Designs Blog tomorrow to see the Challenge we have in store for you! We hope you will join in on the fun! Have a wonderful day!

BLESSINGS....

Hello Everyone- I have TWO POSTS TODAY  so when you are done here - check out THIS post!!! I also have BLOG CANDY HERE

Today will be a day of cooking for me and best of all my sweetie has the day off! He has been gone most of the past month - 4 weeks ago he was in Mexico, then Germany then the past 2 weeks he was in Missouri - so having him home is a REAL TREAT!!!


My card today uses the wonderful stamps from DRS DESIGNS. Some of my FAVORITE stamps are these Plaid Backgrounds that DRS Designs carries! This one is the Large Original Plaid. First I stamped it in Real Red ink and then in the opposite diagonal in Old Olive. I stamped the Apache Blessing on the Labels 18 Spellbinders Die.


Here are a few more details...


Accessories: Poinsettia Tear Drops, ODBD Labels 18 Spellbinders Die, Classy Cards 'n Such Fanciful Flourish 


This second project I ran through my Big Shot and used my floral Sizzix embossing floral folder.
This adorable box crayon box comes from Creative Cuts and More. I just love the ease of use from the die cuts from Creative Cuts and More!! They make fast, fun and affordable gifts!


I figure this will be one of my last AUTUMN projects! I need a gift for a helper in a class I am teaching, as a special thank you for her help. I used the Autumn Wording Square and colored the image with Copics B21, YG67, YG17 and E49. I cut around the square and matted it with Chocolate Chip cardstock. Popped it up with Glue dots and wrapped around some Bashful blue striped ribbon and WAH-LAH! All done! :)

I hope you enjoyed my projects today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!!!
