My Mitten

For the mitten exchange...this is clear embossing ink with the white embossing powder from a•muse studio! Everyone thought I had cut out the dove from white paper - that's how crisp it looked. I just love cardboard and had to work it into my mitten design somehow!



The Nordic Noel stamp, mitten and scallop dies, button and floss are also all from a•muse studio. Thanks for taking a peek!

Nordic Noel in the snow

Sometimes things don't work out as you had planned, and that's okay! It may turn out better! I think so in this case. :)

I had wanted to make a shaker card with my Nordic Noel reindeer but found the nestabilities frame was just too narrow to make it work. I put it aside but I loved this panel. Then the idea hit me to add some frosted snow (another jar I've had sitting around for over 4 years - I added some water and it was good as new!) and I colored a small pearl with a red copic marker for his nose! Other than the ribbon and "snow", all supplies are from a•muse studio. Oops! The Kraft paper is Recollections from Michaels but I have to say I love the Kraft from a•s - it has little flecks in it and is beautiful! I've already managed to work my way through a pack of it so it's definately going on my next order...tee hee...

Congratulations to Susan! You were my winner for my paper blog candy - please send me your address and I'll get this paper in the mail so you can start crafting!

Angela's tags...

My talented upline Angi sent me some wonderful tags for my Open House back in September...I've kept these little beauties to the side until Wednesday when I needed a quick project for my hostess club ladies. We had some much fun making these tags and even though they are super gorgeous, they are so easy to make! woo hoo!!

We used all a•muse studio products including: tag dies, scalloped border dies, twas the night before Christmas and sky blue cardstock, sky ink, a Sakura glue pen (this rocks!) and diamond glitter...oh, and of course the Nordic Noel and Mini Holiday Messages stamp set. Have you noticed this fun new trend? It's nordic patterns everywhere and so perfect for Christmas.



If you want to find these products or take advantage of the October/November stamp special, please visit my shopping site here. Have a great weekend - and thank you so much Angi for sharing your talent. We had so much fun recreating these wonderful tags.
