I am at a Craft Fair today!

Today I am at a craft fair, I will post pics of it later on, until then I have scheduled for you today the door prize for my craft fair. I will draw the name of the winner on December 5th, because on December 4th I will be at my final craft fair for the year. Here in Ohio, majority of the people are Buckeye fans (I and my husband root for the team up north, Go Blue!!). Now our families on both sides are 90% BUCKEYES! As you can see we are always out numbered.

So in honor of my buckeye fans I have created an exclusive set of 8 Christmas greetings using the Quilted Christmas and Hang Your Stockings, using the mini tinsel, Stitched felt embellishments and rhinestones. I used Real Red and Smoky Slate for a lot of the card bases. I used some silver foil on a few, some glimmer paper in silver and dazzling diamonds. The card in the right hand corner in garden green has the embossing folder Quilt top. Insides are left blank for you to write in your name, quote or what ever you want.

 How would you like to win this set of cards? 

All you have to do is fill out the survey and email it to me
 and on December 5th I will have the wheel picker pick the winner!

Stick Horse

I remember one year all of us grand kids got stick horses for Christmas. It was so much fun, us galloping around playing cowboys and indians or rounding up the cattle ( I was as always one of the cows) luckily no one was good at lassoing lol!!

I thought I would put to work the Christmas Stockings Thinlits (pg. 215 of Annual Catalog).

First I cut two stockings out. One out of card stock using the die that has the snowflake and the other from Glimmer Paper from the solid stocking die. I adhere the card stock over the glimmer paper with tombow liquid glue. Then I cut three pieces of ribbon from the Quilted Christmas Ribbon (pg. 5 of Holiday Catalog) 1 3/4", 4 1/2" and  5 1/2". I wrapped the 5 1/2" around a candy stick and cut of any excess. I then took the 1 3/4" and wrapped around nose of stocking. The 4 1/2" I used for the reins.I cut a piece of card stock into a shape of an ear and glued it in place. I added some pearls for the nostrils and eye. For the Card base I used Real Red cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". I cut a piece of  Quilted Christmas DSP at 3" x 3". Adhered it to card front and then ran it through the big shot using the Quilt Top embossing folder. I added dimensionals to the back of the horse and attached it to card front. Finally I added a sentiment from the Hang Your Stockings stamp set ( pg 121 of Annual Catalog) and punched it out . I used Garden Green and attached to card front. 

I just think this is adorable!
