Quite the Pair

Welcome back to our weekly Artisan Blog Hop! I realized that I have been forgetting to give a shout out to the Artisans for designing the blog hop buttons. . . this month's buttons were created by Jeanna Bohanon, aren't the adorable?

This week I am sharing a few projects made with the Quite the Pair stamp set. . . funny how this set was the only one in the Occasions Catalog that I wasn't too fond of, yet I found it so easy to create with!

I am absolutely LOVING the Fancy Foil Vellum and thought it would be fun to incorporate it into my projects. I started with a 6X6 piece of the vellum and the used my Envelope Punch Board to whip up a quick little treat box. Then I used the Fringe Scissors to quickly create a little tassel and tag to tie around the box.

  I also thought it would be fun to make a transparent shaker tag with the vellum too. . . I simple folded a strip of it in half and sewed along the open edges (after filling it with punched hearts of course)!

With the Whisper White note card and envelopes, it was easy to create a quick and simple card. To complete the fancy but simplistic look of the card, I cut a piece of the vellum with the Envelope Liner Framelit Dies to tuck into the envelope, and viola! Insta-cuteness!

Hope you enjoyed!

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring'

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

 

This song was seriously stuck in my head as I was creating this card!

Artisan Wednesday WOW!

 

I can hardly believe December is here already!!! My year has flown by WAY too fast, and I don't see the remainder of 2013 slowing down any. . . but, here we are, welcoming you all to another Artisan Wednesday WOW!

If I could freeze time, it would be this. . . relishing in all of the wonderful talent and inspiration that these ladies have to share. They are all so amazing, and I am honored and grateful to be on the team with them. Be sure to stop by all of their blogs and leave them a comment letting them know how they have inspired you. I want to take a minute to let all of you know how much I appreciate all of you stopping by, and all of the nice comments. . . after all, it is because of all of you that I continue to blog! That being said, I have a gift to give away to someone. . . this person has left many wonderful comments (not just on my blog, but on the other Artisan's Blogs as well), and I want her to know how much I appreciate each and every one of them! I don't know her personally, but I imagine that she is a very sweet, sincere, and thoughtful person. After all, she is sweet enough to take time out of her busy schedule to leave me a nice comment week after week. So, Wendie Waldman, contact me and let me know your address so I can get your gift sent out to you!
