SEASON'S GREETINGS

hello all,

today i am sharing a project i made for joy clair design team using the Joyful Wishes

stamp set. this set is packed with many pretty christmas words to combine many sentiments. bonus: it even includes some tiny christmas images like stars and hollies.

SEASON'S GREETINGS

3-1/2" x 5.25"

-love the handwriting font-

sorry about the inking on the edges of the sentiment. it looks very pronounced in the pic but not in real life. i normally use macro when photographing and it maximizes every single micro detail. :(

the poinsettia die cut is from tim holtz.

the center was made with a dry embossing powder. it almost looks like brass. i used the same embossing powder for the sentiment.

i stamped the leaves with another joy clair stamp set from their autumn release: hello autumn. it gives some subtle detail to the plain green cardstock.

this is the joyful wishes i used for today's card and its matching digi dies.

 

they have been linked for your convenience.

i am also linking the hello autumn because it has beautiful fall leaves you might like.

pretty huh?

well,

i have to go now.

rush-rush-rush

:D

thanks for stopping by and 

take care! 

REMEMBER: Joy Clair is having a Design Team Call

MORE POINSETTIAS...this time, using wrap it up

i made twelve and put them throughout the living room, kitchen and dining room.

they are not perfectly made because what i first had in mind was to hang them on the front fence but then, we were expecting rain and i changed my mind, lol.

have fun making yours, they do add a beautiful touch to your house holiday decorations.

and once again, 

thanks for stopping by flowerdisco's scrap hut!

MY 2012 CHRISTMAS CARDS...using jots

hi,

for the records, we are having our first 2012 snow day here in the neighborhood. i woke up to a fine dust and as the day goes, the flakes are getting a bit bigger. they are expecting 1-3 inches of it. we shall see. 

nah, it did not happen on my area anyways. :P

remember the poinsettia i made here? i used the christmas noel for that one but, i found this other one in the joys of the season (jots- after watching a you tube video) and i wanted to try it. the image is #38 on the overlay and i used the blackout feature for it. i cut two of them at 4 inches, one at 3 inches and one at 2 inches. oh! and the pretty leaves are also from jots: image #34 using the layer and shift features and i know the double sided paper is from k&co.

 all my papers are from my stash and if i recall there is some basic grey, dcwv and mme. i went and bought the small beads for the center at acm. 

i already had made the base for my cards and i just needed an embellishment for the focal point.

Just for You

5.5" x 4.25"

these are my card bases that i had previously made and below you will see the computer printed sentiment. i got this sentiment from a greetings card cd i have.

i hope you like my christmas cards for this year. i am not done with them and i won't be making too many either because the extra postage. the ones i make dimensional will be delivered by hand with their gifts. the postal ones will be having a flat poinsettia. :)

anyway, i wanted to blog about Webster Pages Sprinkle Monthly Box. I ordered the november box and my package somehow got delivered to someone in washington state. anyway, i complained about it (after i checked the delivery confirmation), and their customer service couldn't be more helpful. 

they are awesome and i wanted to give them kuddos here on my blog.

 the link above will show what the sprinkles box is all about and how inexpensive it is to get one!

and with the good.... comes the bad too, lol

 another kit i ordered but with this one i got totally burned :D. it was a halloween kit from well known designer. i couldn't be more disappointing. not only i paid a fortune but the extra goodies she sent for the immense tardiness did not make up for the burn. i was very impulsive with this purchase: well, never again.

i won't be mentioning any names here but i will say some "details" are not worthy. and that is that. hehe.

and now i retire to my studio where i will be finishing some more christmas cards.

hope you all had a great thanksgiving. 

i know i did: my son came home and we had such a great time.

take care now, and i will see you soon!

A CHRISTMAS CARD...featuring a poinsettia

hello all,

it took me a while to be back here blogging and posting. the clean-up after sandy was a bit exhausting for me and still have to get to the front of the house. in the meantime the shredded leaves on that side are blowing away. 

my heart breaks every time i see the news and all the devastation sandy's fury left. i told you i was just trying to easy my mind and hoping for the best. i knew inside me she was no good. what we lost is nothing compare at all, not a micro bit, to what others did. i am not saying we lost anything but a blue spruce tree :D,  but others that lost so much and when they look back there are others who lost some more. my heart cries.

my prayers and thoughts are with them while they recover.

on the other hand, the generator worked well, hehe,

 i am not intimidated by it anymore. the only thing, being a smaller one, i had to make a few runs for gas and at the end, it was no more gas :(, but then..... the electricity came back.....that same night.

--remember, if you are not at flowerdisco's scrap hut, you are at a thief's  blog--shame on you bad blog content thief--

now onto my card for today. i made this cutie a while ago and i sincerely can't find my notes. i think i shredded them along with my son's voters registration, lol. yeap! i did that. He balloted being an absentee, but still. the things i do sometimes.

anyway,

here i have a beautiful poinsettia.

 i know i used dcwv patterned papers and maybe some mme and we all know the button is a ms punch.

this is such a pretty card, imho that is. :P

below is the entire card for your delight (wink-wink)

if i find that little branch, and find that i have more of the same paper, i think i will make more of the same for my christmas cards this year.

well, this is it for now. 

i hope you are safe and that you be blessed on your daily life and be happy everyday and grateful for what you have because when you look back, there is a worse scenario behind.

and as always,

thanks for stopping here at flowerdisco's scrap hut blogspot. 

take care you all!

HOLIDAY VACATIONS

Hello my friends

I am taking vacations from the blogging land until the 27th.

 I will be browsing the web when I can, but not really posting on this blog.

I wish you the best. 

Enjoy the holidays along with your loved ones.

My Christmas Cards 2010

I realized I was pretty late with the cards so I had be fast making them. ;p
The poinsettia is from Winter Woodlands, the sentiment from G-Studio clear stamp, the ornament border from a set I have at home called "All Decked Out" and the red tapes are from Martha Stewart.

Love you all!

STOCKINGS GARLAND

Glad I am not the only one having days like yesterday, lol. It was awful...I was so edgy, grrr!

Anyway....we went to the play. It was short but cute. T wants to be a theater director and this was the first play she wrote and directed. It was about a senior being dumped on prom night via text messaging. Imagine that one!

Kuddos to T for her big accomplishment. Last night was her night and all the glamour that comes with it. I was so proud of her.

Anyway, I have been making this garland bit by bit since last week and, I finally finished it today.

 I want to share it with you. It is now part of my holiday decorations in my living room.

I might try to sell it on Etsy too. It came out so very pretty and I had a smooth ride with it.

 STOCKINGS GARLAND

you can make it as long as you want and the stockings any size you want to.

These ones are 5 inches high

 I used Simply Charmed for the stockings, image #35 on the overlay.

A view from the side and remember you can click on the photo for a larger view.

Here is a collage of every single one. 

They were embellished on the back too in case I wanted to use them on a doorway.

The holly leaves (image #10) are from Winter Woodland and so are the poinsettias (image#9).

The ribbons are from my stash and I used thick chipboard for the base, patterned papers are from 

Cloud Nine and the textures cardstock from American Crafts. The last stocking you see in the collage was stamped with a script rubber stamp on kraft cardstock. I then used my red glitter pen and went over all the berries on the patterned paper. The center of the poinsettias were made with a whole punch using DCWV glitter cardstock and so were the one berry on the holly leaves. You already noticed the inking.....I love inking. I mostly used the brown inks for it.

Have a good weekend and if you have time check out

TIM HOLTZ 

12 tags of Christmas. 

I have to try the first one, even I am loving them all. He explains everything so well. I never went to his site much but today I subscribed to his feed because I do not want to miss his work ever again. 

I think we have a bit in common.

*-*

Just for the records:

I entered it at "cooking with cricut" challenge
