DeNami Design Product Spotlight!

Good morning! How are you doing with your Christmas preparations! I think I'm in pretty good shape. I love to wrap gifts!! Pretty papers, pretty ribbon and bows, pretty little tags...well you get the picture!! But all the while I'm doing that I also enjoy making cards. I think we all have our Christmas card lists. But from year to year you always need an extra one here and there.

This card is made using the {Winter Wreath} by DeNami Design. It's our product spotlight today, the team has a fun variety of cards showcasing this must have stamp. Wait until you see how many ways you can dress this up!

I stamped the wreath on a white panel using dark chocolate ink. It's stamped three times rotating just a bit with the second and third stampings to give the effect of a fuller grapevine wreath. I adorned my wreath with leaves and berries from the Elegant Holly set, another must have! My sentiment is stamped on vellum. Finally a few red Rhinestones were added for sparkle after adding the panel to a red card base.

And there you have it! You can purchase this wreath at a 10% discount this week. Be sure to get your order in before the store closes for the holidays!!

So happy you stopped by ~Lisa

cQc #219 ~ A Christams Tag!

Hey there! Another Tuesday is upon us and that means it's time for a new ColourQ challenge. Arielle has given us earthy country colors this week. I decided to put together a tag, something a bit more masculine.

I stamped an Inky Antics pine cone border on the bottom of my hand cut tag. Next I added a piece of Cosmo Cricket Christmas paper then wrapped twine around the tag. This tall skinny snowman (also from Inky Antics) was stamped, colored then added to the tag with foam tape. Finally a Jenny Bowlin ticket and a fun bow adorned with a teeny pine cone finish it up!

I'm so happy you could spend a little time with me today. Take care ~Lisa

Precious Remembrance ~ Design It Monday!

Hello! Brrrr we had such a cold weekend! It felt good to snuggle in at home after Sunday Mass and be a lazy bones! With Thanksgiving being late this year I've felt off kilter a bit. Decorating the house and doing shopping here and there. It doesn't seem right that one week should make such a difference, but it sure has for me. My organizational brain seems to have taken a vacation, someone send it home to me please!!!

As my post title say this is {Design It Monday} on the Precious Remembrance Shop blog. My post there today has taken a departure from Christmas with something fresh and fun. I hope you'll stop by for a visit!

Take care friends and have a splendid day ~Lisa

DeNami Design December Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome! Can you believe this is the final DeNami blog hop for 2013? Paulina has picked a fun theme to close out the year ~ Razzle Dazzle!! I hope you'll hop along with us. The simple task of commenting on all of the participants blogs could win you one of two DeNami gift certificates. Now who wouldn't love some free DeNami goodies for Christmas! Okay lets get things moving here. You should be arriving from Stacy's blog. You can pop over to the DeNami blog at anytime to start from the beginning or if you lose your way. All of the hop details will be at the end of this post.

Don't ask me why, but when I saw the theme for this month's hop I felt like I needed to use hot pink!! If you frequent my blog you don't see much of that from me!! But here you go gang...

I think the Small Curly Christmas Tree and Whimsical Merry Christmas sentiment make a cute pairing. And what could be more {dazzling} than hot pink Rhinestones accompanied by {razzling} raspberry sequins (available in our own Paulina's new Etsy shop)! I tossed in a few clear ones from my stash as well to create my shaker snow globe!

Now whisk yourselves over to the ever delightful and ultra talented Barb Murphy's blog. I know this gal will bring it on in the razzle dazzle department!!! 

Enjoy the hop ~Lisa

Guesting With Tracey!

 

Hello sweet blogging friends! Seems like just yesterday I was shopping for Christmas gifts, decorating the house, wrapping presents and baking Christmas cookies. And now here it is a year later already and I'm starting all over again! Gosh this year just flew by at lightening speed!!!

The one good thing that has come of it all?  My dear friend Tracey of In My Creative Opinion has started her 25 Days of Christmas Tags for 2013. This year she's thrown a little twist into her plan, she's having a guest join her everyday! And today just happens to be my turn ~ lucky me!

 
Tracey knows I love polka dots, so I had to add them here for her! I die cut this MFT label as my tag base from October Afternoon paper. I adore red, light aqua and white together! Next I die cut the oval from the label set then stamped this rustic poinsettia (Inkadinkado ~ 25% off at Archiver's!) using pure poppy ink. I used the polka dot star and ornament hanger from PTI's Love Lives Here Holiday set. Then added the tiny die cut felt star with foam tape. This sweet little sentiment is from DeNami Design. Their Christmas Greetings stamp set is the perfect size for tags! Some pretty little buttons and twine finish things off.

I'm SO very HAPPY to be joining Tracey today. She is one of my dearest blogging friends who means the world to me. Take a little journey over to her blog, you won't be disappointed!! While you're there check out her Pinterest board featuring ALL of the FABULOUS tags she's created.

Be blessed friends ~Lisa
