JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 8

Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops 8! Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! And don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets -- you can find them HERE. This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team are the Flower Soft and The Shabby Tea Room challenge blog design teams! So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!

For my card above I decided to use the Sweet Treats stamp from the "Something Sweet" stamp set.

I made the front of the card look like a wrapped Christmas present with the white ribbon wrapped all around the card.  The red background paper is embossed with tiny dots for dimension. 

Please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today!

TSTR week 31 - Pumpkin Patch

Fall is in the air!  Even here in sunny South Florida the temperature has dropped recently in the 50's and 60's which is unseasonably low for us!  I just love the cooler weather and I also love seeing the pumpkin patches that start cropping up all over town!  This week in The Shabby Tea Room, Nicole is our host and she has chosen Pumpkin Patches as our theme!  For your card or project this week, you can use the color scheme from this inspo pic or just use pumpkins!

Our sponsor this week is My Favorite Things, a delightful clear rubber stamp company!

Don't forget to check out what my other shabby girl teamies have created for you to be inspired by!

TSTR week 30 - Vintage Halloween

BOO!  I'm so excited that Halloween is coming!  It's one of my favorite holidays!  There are so many cute decorations and depending on your spin on the holiday, it can be cute and fun or really scary.  I prefer cute and fun since I have little kids and I was never a fan of scary!  This week in The Shabby Tea Room, I had the pleasure of hosting the challenge and since we are getting so close to Halloween, I chose a vintage Halloween theme in Shabby Tea Room style!  Here is the inspo pic that I chose to use:

Our generous host this week in the Tea Room is Sassy Studio Designs and they provided the DT with some great Halloween sentiments to use on our projects. 

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company that has been designing and selling digital images for a year now.  Make sure to check out all of their designs!

I picked two of the sentiments that went well with my card but there was so many to choose from and all so perfect for Halloween!

The Shabby Girls really outdid themselves this week with the vintage theme and I am truly in love with all of their cards!  You won't want to miss out on these great projects so visit their individual blogs here:

Polka Doodles - Week 39 - Fancy Folding

Welcome to week 39 over at the Polka Doodly challenge blog!

This week Dee has challenged us to create a card or project using fancy or interesting folding.

I found the neatest tutorial for turning an ordinary envelope into a small treat bag with some basic folding techniques and I'd like to share it with you today.  You can find the template for the envelope/bag here.

Nikky's new CD, Sundae of Seasons is such a fabulous CD that it is hard to choose which images to use on my projects.  This week however, I chose to go with a baby theme and decorate my envelope/bag with the adorable sleeping baby from the "Spring" section on the Sundae of Seasons CD.  I am just in love how this sweet little bag came out!  You really can't go wrong when you're using such adorable images!  Just look at this adorable baby close up, you could just give her a squeeze, she is so yummy!

It's hard to believe that this adorable little sack started out as an envelope but here is a view of the back of the bag to show you the seams from the envelope.

I'm not sure if you can see the lines where the envelope comes together but I tried to capture them in the above picutre.  Try one of these easy peasy envelope/bags yourself and you'll be smitten!  I can't wait to see what fancy and interesting folding techniques all of you Polka Doodlers come up with this week!

Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you next week at Polka Doodles!
