PIXIE COTTAGE CHALLENGE


Good Morning Our Challenge this week at The Pixie Cottage is Party/ Celebrations....lots of possibilities for this one. Michelle has another great new stamp set here. It has two sentiments and 3 images found here. It was perfect for the gift I needed. Christmas Eve is my BIL's Birthday. He like others who have a birthday so close to Christmas seems to get overlooked. Soooo about 30 years ago we had a Mexican Potluck on Christmas Eve and then went caroling to celebrate his birthday. Every year for 30 years we have done it so I guess you would say it is one of our family traditions :) So all that to say this is part of my gift to him this year. So it doesn't look like a Christmas gift I used Kraft, creme and royal blue and just a dot of red. I used all the images in the stamp set.

No the basket is not turned sideways. I made it in a diamond shape sewing together and distressing all four sides then attaching to a reinforced base I made. The handle was torn on both sides. The watercolored images were cut out and mounted on a embossed base on all four sides. I used dimensional paint for all the dots around the circles and down all the sides. Since he likes coffee and hot chocolate I made him some syrups and put in pretty bottles that my sis will be able to use when they are emptied. I made a caramel syrup and a cinnamon vanilla syrup. Can you believe I found the perfect canned whip cream with a blue lid that totally matches my paper. Is that cool?? I will tuck in a few snack goodies that I will make Thurday night.

I made a small card and tags for the syrups and marshmallows to go along with the basket. Have you ever made cinnamon vanilla syrup? You mustTry this yummy recipe....you can use it for coffee, tea, ice cream or???

Recipe: 2 c. firmly packed brown sugar 1 c. water 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 3 cinnamon sticks 1/2 tsp. pure cinnamon extract Heat the water and sugar on low...open vanilla bean and scrape it in the sugar mix ( be sure to save the pod to flavor some sugar) add the sticks and bring to a quick boil. Remove and let steep for about 30 min. Then put back on heat and simmer for about 6 or 7 mins. Remove sticks add the cin extract cool a little and strain. Easy Peasy

The simple little card uses three of the mini versions of the large cup of latte. The large tag uses one of the images in the set that I cut out and attached to the tag.
Have a Merry Christmas!

TUESDAY THROWDOWN CHALLENGE



Our Tuesday Throwdown Challeng
e is to make a criss cross card. Our sponsor this week is Digis With an Attitude. They will be giving a great prize so be sure to join us. I used Mona's beautiful color challenge from at Cupcake's Creation Color Challenge. It is our Pastor's wifes Birthday today and this card is for her. I had a little party last night after Womens Ministry and we all signed the card and gave it to her.

My lighting wasn't the best and the color looks more orange than coral but it really is coral. I used a coral base and then stitched on the pretty Graphic 45 floral print I've been saving. I made the fan fold medallion to attach the angel print to, added the punched edge and the jewels. I did stamp a flourish on the tan sides and added the Birthday poem to the inside.
Supplies: Momento Ink, SU and Graphic 45 papers, MS arch punch and jewels.

Entering Challenges:

Stampin' Sisters in Christ

Pretty simple card. Used the cuttlebug swirl embossing folder on the top tan and on the bottom blue. I sanded the blue to scuff it a bit.

Our Challenge is perfect for this time of year....SPARKLE & SHINE~We also have a great sketch if you chose to use it. This fun image and sentiment set is called Dashing Through the Sky by ARTish. You can find it and lots of others here.
This is a few of the crazy houses I made for a little village set. It is going to be a gift for my sister. I thought it would be fun to have Santa flying in so I attached him on a piece of acetate. It barely shows so really looks as if he is suspended in the air. I watercolored the image and used some stickles on the clouds and sleigh runners. Added a little dimensional paint to the beard, mustache, cap and cuffs. Then cut him and the sentiments out and attached to the acetate.

MY village started as wooden blocks painted and covered with dps. Sure doesn't show here but decorated with layered snowflakes and Lots of SPARKLE with blue, irridecent and silver stickles, jewels, beads and silver foil.

MY project is Christmas cards and a matching gift box. This is one of the cards~~~ For a change I decided to make big ovals with some non traditional colors. I love this beautiful paper covered in lots of pretty ornaments and vintage colors. I thought it would be fun to pair it with the aqua dots. The edges are distressed and then stickles added for some glitz. The center is cut out with a nestie then framed. Used another nestie to cut out the sentiment and stickled. Some hand dyed seam binding made a small bow. I cut slivers for the pine and made a pine cone for the center. Some snow flakes and a fan fold medallion finish the cards. For my gift box I first covered a box I got from work. I used one of the card ovals and decorated it. I used a punch to make a bias to cover the joints on the box. Made a big bow with some pine and pinecones added. Lots of snowflakes, glitter and buttons finish it off. A close up of the fun pinecones and the gift box to hold the cards.

several sizes for the base, the body, pocket and tag. Distressed the edges and faux stitched them.

key. Fun & Simple way to dress up each plate a bit.

the name of the one we are to share why we are thankful for them

Passionately Artistic


I am very excited to have been invited to be a part of the Passionately Artistic team. For my first post I have made a little Christmasy hot chocolate holder/ ornament. I made a little trifold card and used the scalloped oval nestie to cut the top then distressed all the edges. To add a little pizazz I punched the edge of some red plaid for the inside pocket and used scalloped ovals to mount the gingerbread men on. I cut out several gingerbread men and decorated them with dimensional paint. I used a wheel for the little strip of gingerbread men and watercolored them, stitched onto a piece of recycled paper to form the slide off closure. I am one of pre teens teachers at our Church and I have about 2o-25 kids. Over half of these precious kids live in very disfunctional homes. I am making one for each of them. Its a little fun something I can do that wont be too costly and I'm hopefully they can hang them up and have for Christmas morning.
I used Mona's Cupcakes's Creations Color Inspiration for my project

TUESDAY THROWDOWN CHALLENGE #26/ Button & Bows

At Tuesday Throwdown we want you to get out all your buttons and bows and show them off. Our sponsor is DeeDee's Digis. I just love this new Christmas set, Beauty of the Season. You will have to go take a look. The three small poinsettias are actually a corner that I cut apart. I decided to do a non traditional Christmas color. Actually Purple is such a royal color I think it should be our color for Christmas. After all the whole reason for Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ and He is our soon and coming King.
My camera doesn't have enough zoom power so I took a couple closer up pics. I decided I would do a fun gift pocket. I cut two triangle pieces to form the pocket and punched the top. The white was embossed, antiqued with purple chalk and then stitched on the front. Next the Basic Grey print was pleated and stitched on. After I gathered the lace I sandwiched it between back and front and stitched together. I wove ribbon thru my buttons and then attached. I reinforced the holes and attached the white ribbon to hang it by. I cut a couple layers and attached one of the small poinsettias for the tag. The poinsettias were all water colored, glittered and then cut out and layered. Lastly I attached some beads to the bottom.
You can see the flowers are layered and glittered in this photo
