Christmas Dome

I had the idea for this project floating around in my head for quite some time before I actually executed it! All it took was a Bell Jar and Twinkle Lights (from Kmart), the Hometown Greetings Edgelits and a whole lot of Big Shotting!
I made the ring of Glimmer Paper first, smaller than the diameter of my Bell Jar, so that it fits inside. Then I added the rows of houses, starting with the lowest row, and working my way up, attaching the rows using Dimensionals.
All in all, it was a pretty simple project and it looks just stunning all lit up at night!

Pizza for Christmas!

One of my favourite pre-Christmas gift ideas is a set of Christmas tags. I figure it is something everyone can use at this busy time of year. We made this set of gift tags and a little decorated pizza box for them in one of my recent classes.

I've used the stunning Year of Cheer Designer Series paper and embossed all my sentiments to match. This paper is only decorated on one side, which makes it perfect to use for gift cards.

CCMC487 Bird Banter

It's Thursday, and that means it's Challenge time again over at www.createwithconnieandmary.com. This week is a colour challenge, and these are the colours we had to work with:

Fun! At first I was going to make a Christmas card, but I felt like a break from Christmas, and then I was going to go with something floral...but in the end, I couldn't resist pulling out a brand new (Sneak Peak!) stamp set from our upcoming Occasions Catalogue.

• This cute birdie is from a new set called Bird Banter.
• I've also borrowed the layout from a card in the new Catalogue (I love a new catalogue for the inspiration it holds within!).
• The pretty Calypso Coral and silver paper in the background is another sneak peak called Sweet Soiree.
• To complement the silver in the paper, I added a narrow strip of Silver Foil cardstock
• I watercoloured my birdie using Blender Pens. I even gave him a little birthday hat to wear.

I hope you like my card. Check out what the other talented stampers have come up with HERE. Don't forget you can play along over on the facebook page!

Enjoying Pizza Boxes

I've been packaging all sorts of gifts in the Mini Pizza Boxes...apart from 3"x3" notecards, 4 tealight candles fit really well (wrap in washi tape to pretty them up), and so do soaps, chocolates and cookies to name just a few ideas. They are so easy and quick to assemble (no adhesive required!) are lined with a food-safe coating, and don't require much decorating either. What could be better?

I was pretty excited when I found the perfect filling for this box - a gummi pizza!

Cute as a button! You can find these in Kmart and BigW (in Australia). What a sweet gift!

Black Cat in a Window

Swapping is a fun part of attending Stampin' Up! events. I recently made 40 of these cards to take with me to the Gold Coast OnStage Demonstrator Event. I swapped them with other Demonstrators and came home with 40 new inspiring card ideas.
I used Embossing Paste to make a textured Brick wall. I masked the centre with a sticky note, and added a window there for a black cat to sit behind. The window box is filled with flowers that I sponged with ink (Tempting Turquoise and Calypso Coral), and I stamped a sentiment from the Sitting Here stamp set.
Hopefully everyone that I swapped with liked my card!
