Stamp Time Somewhere

#tgifc191 Last Minute "Neighbor Gifts" - Featuring Stampin' Up! Spirited Snowmen

    Happy Friday! Before I go further, I just wanted to thank everyone that has reached out the last few weeks checking on me. Unfortunately, I am still unable to eat without issues, and my first tests all came back fine, so we are going to have to do a little more digging. I'm hanging in though, and the severe pains have subsided, so that's a good thing.

    Anyhow, today was the first day that I have been in my stamp room in weeks! It was so depressing. So when I say that these are last minute - I MEAN it! Normally, I work ahead for all of my challenges and Design Team posts, but I haven't been able to lately. I was worried it might take me a while to figure out some mojo, luckily it didn't take too long!

   I started with a cute little Hot Chocolate box, and followed it up by a little box to hold a few packages of peppermint tea. Thank goodness for these adorable Spirited Snowmen - I've used them a lot this year!!!

  The box was just a freehand pattern made with Cherry Cobbler card stock, wrapped with Mossy Meadow and some Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper. The snowman was stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin' Blends (of course). Little details like the Basic Rhinestone on the hat and the Linen Thread behind him, really help bring him to life.

 The tea holder box is also a freehand box pattern. I used my scraps from the Hot Chocolate box to create this one! I also added a little Gold Cord and a leftover Gold Glimmer Paper Snowflake I had cut with the Blizzard Thinlit Die (which is currently on SALE!!!) If you didn't have the snowflake you could also stamp another snowman and just punch out his face. (Don't punch him IN the face, that's not nice! LOL)

    

Here's an easy shopping list of supplies I used on this card, clicking on any of the images will take you to my store where you can purchase any of these items.

Creation Station - Celebrate the Season

Hello and Happy December!!! I am super excited about this post, because this is my very first post hopping along with the fabulously talented Creation Station team!!! Seriously, some of the best of the best!

 I had some seriously grand plans for this month too - being my premiere month and all. I have some fabulous projects started on my desk. Unfortunately, life took a few swings this week and I took a pretty big hit. After an all-nighter in the Emergency Room Tuesday night, I've been dealing with a still un-diagnosed issue that has pretty much kept me in bed, on an all liquid diet since. NOT how I planned on starting this hop, let alone this month - I'm MOM, so I really don't have time for this :) Anyhow, on to the one project I DID manage to get done!

 

 I was so excited last year when we moved in to a new home that had a beautiful front window in a "formal" living room that was perfect for a Christmas Tree. I kind of missed being able to see it from our family room though. Problem solved this year - I was able to sweet talk the hubby in to a second tree! I wanted to add a personal touch to the tree, so I decided to create a few ornaments - I guess I'll have to share the others once I start feeling better!

 By cutting the letters out multiple times and layering them, along with layering multiple sheets of Very Vanilla card stock for the base, it almost doesn't even look like it's made of paper.

 Next up is the lovely and talented Elizabeth Price - Her work is always stunning!

 

Thank you so much for visiting today! As always, I hope that you have a great day, and a great week, and take some time to create, because it's always Stamp Time Somewhere!
