Having trouble using little stamps?

I love the little stamps in Every Little Bit, Jolly Bingo Bits and Spooky Bingo Bits.  These small stamps make great focal points like on these tags

Isn't he a happy little snowman surrounded by a Island Indigo scallop. I ran Pool Party cardstock through the Big Shot using the larger tag on the Two Tags die.  A strip of Domestic Goddess (isn't it perfect on this tag) with strips of Island Indigo for highlights.  Some of our gorgeous ruffled Island Indigo ribbon is used to attach the tag to the package.

And here they are attached to the orders from my last party, a nice way to close up the bags.

 

Happy Stamping,

 

Blushing Bride for Christmas

 
No, not that kind of bride, our In Color, Blushing Bride.  Well, I asked my son to pick me up some Holiday M & M's when he was out and he came home with these

 I couldn't find Holiday M & M's so I got you these.  Well, the colors are pastel colors, pink and green.  Since I wanted to make toppers for the treat bags, standard Christmas colors would not be right,

 Blushing Bride works perfectly and I added a bit of Real Red as we just didn't have a green that looked good.  A swipe with my Versamark marker under the snowman and a little Irridescent Ice adds a little sparkle

 and on the back a long retired stamp

 Non traditional but festive!

Happy Stamping,

 

What to give your neighbour,

how about some goodies from your kitchen with packaging just as delicious?  This idea came from Karli and is perfect to dress up your treats.

 I used our beautiful Candy Cane Christmas DSP (sorry, it is no longer available) and Baja Breeze cardstock.

 Yes, a bag of Chocolate fudge nestled inside and notice the medallion on the front

 same as the package tags I did a few days ago only this time using just 1 1/2" strips of paper and the scallop edge punch.  The bell from Jolly Bingo Bits is gold embossed and the sentiment from Merry Crittermas is just perfect for this gift

 

Happy Stamping,

Now with deals like this, what are  you waiting for, just click on the Demonstrator Website to the right of the page and get your order in. Speaking of Christmas cards, today's card is a bit different, white on white with Real Red.

 The little cardinals are from Jolly Bingo Bits and I have punched them out with the  1 1/4" square punch and layered onto Real Red squares punched with the Square Scallop punch.  Then a 1/2" strip of Real Red adds some punch to the Whisper White embossed with the Petals a Plenty Impressions folder.  Simple card but definitely makes a statement.

Happy Stamping,

Jolly Bingo Bits

I love this set, all the stamps fit into a 1" circle and really come alive when you layer them.

 This card uses the Jolly Holiday Designer Series paper (117159) and I have pulled the colors for the images from the paper- Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive and then Very Vanilla for the card base. 

Happy Stamping,

A Fabulous Case

I saw a card that Dawn Easton did along time ago and it was such a cute card, I saved a picture of it.  The stamp set and paper she used are long retired, but the design is perfect for the Jolly Bingo Bits in the Holiday Mini. 

 Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive with Jolly Holiday Designer Series paper just make the card pop.  The ribbon, Cherry Cobbler seam binding, also in the Mini is wonderful to work with, ties so nicely.  Inside I used one of the stamps from Christmas Greetings

 and another little stamp from the Jolly Bingo Bits.  This set is fabulous, 24 little images that work so well in both our circle and square punches.
 Yes, this will be a card I will be making a few of,

Happy Stamping,
