Christmas Tags

 

This is just a quick last 2025 post but I wanted to show these  Christmas tags.  I made these Christmas tags from Filson tags which are very thick and I couldn't throw them away. I used Graphic 45's Merry & Bright paper collection scraps.  Love them! 

2025 Christmas Card

 

I used Spellbinder's nesting dies for the first style of my Christmas cards this year. This style is easy to fold up and mail. Graphic 45's Merry & Bright paper collection makes this card. It is such a beautiful collection. The back of the card gives you plenty of room for a Christmas sentiment. Because I get tired of making the same card 55 times,  I have a second style that I made to mail to friends and family. Yes, I do send out 55 cards. I started at the end of October making them. Here is my second style below.

This easel style card was my second style Christmas card. The bells are from a Stampin up set which, I think, is called Bells ringin. There are 3 areas that you can use for the sentiment. This is where I put mine. 

We just got back from Seattle Washington where my son and his wife relocated this past year. It was a lot of fun and had no problems with flights which sometimes is troublesome this time of year. My next post I will show some photos of the fun we had! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Birthday Card For December

 Lately I have been making these triple panel pop out cards. These 2 are for my twin sisters birthday which was December 2nd. Graphic 45's paper collections were used to finish them. On the back is plenty of room for a birthday sentiment. Happy Birthday Chris & Connie!

Back of the card

Also in December is my brother in law's birthday, Russ.  I made a shirt card for his birthday on the 18th. This card also has plenty of room for the sentiment. Happy Birthday Russ!

Lastly, I wanted to show my Hanukkak card for my daughter  in law's parents. They love getting cards from us. Happy  Hanukkah! Thank you for stopping by. My next post will be my Christmas cards for this year. 

Our Second Craft Fair

 My sister's and I are getting ready for another craft fair the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It is at my sister's church in Gorham Maine at the Summit Church. We have a new craft which is amazing from My3dsvg.com - I love them! I am going to put a couple on my tree! Love how they light up! Check out the photos below...

Here are some more photos of our table that we will be setting up next Saturday! If you are in the area come on over.

November Fun!

 I made this pumpkin centerpiece for our craft fair that we had at the beginning of the month.  In October I made one for myself and have it on my dining room table. The pumpkins are from HomeGoods and Michael's. The base are candlesticks that I found at our local Goodwill. 

Perfect Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Here are a couple other items that we are featuring at our next craft fair. I need to give credit to my sisters who made these cute craft projects. Love these items. Now it is time to work on my Christmas cards! Thanks for stopping by.

Hello November!

 I have made this style card in the past but it has been a while. It is a Block Easel card. Iced Images has a great tutorial on how to make this style card. This is a card for a good friend who has a red miata so I thought this was perfect for him! Happy Birthday Tom! I hope this link works but if it doesn't just go to youtube and search for Iced Images block easel card tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyjC7yji5bM&t=16s

The next style card is a new one for me. It is a Double Column card from Mixed up Crafts with Sam Calcott. She is always coming up with new ideas for cards. I have made 2 cards for ladies who have birthdays this month. The link for this card is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuruIT7clKw&t=1s

I love how they stand up for displaying. I used Graphic 45's Honey Bee and Beach paper collections. Mixed up crafts also has tutorials for different sizes for this style card. This one is quite large and will need extra postage. It measures when flattened 7x7.  Such a great style!!! Happy Birthdays to Charlotte and Linda!

Halloween Eve!

 Our wishing well Halloween decoration this year! We are ready for our little trick or treaters tomorrow night. I took some photos around our area of other people's Halloween decorations and they are spectacular and also some pretty foliage! Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
