Mr. and Mrs. Snowman

It's Monday....and the Monday before Christmas at that!  Do you have all of your shopping done?  I actually am finishing up my shopping today....but first I have an appt. for a massage at the spa....after final exams I think I deserve a massage!  lol!  Hubby and I are going together so it will be a fun day!

Since it's Monday; it's my day to share Embellish-Online creations with you!

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Snowman:

I saw Carla's snowman card like this on her blog and thought it was so adorable and found out through Carla's post that Aimee actually started the snowman card.  They both used their Cricuts to create their snowmen.  I would have used my Cricut but it is buried behind lots of things on my desk (and I really don't have a lot of desk space to use my Cricut yet) so I used a bowl, circle punches, corner rounder, and my scissors to make my snowpeople!  For the base of my snowpeople I used white American Crafts Textured Cardstock.  My card measures 6" x 4 1/2."

For Mr. Snowman I used the Imaginisce Polar Expressions Paper Collection.  I decorated his hat with an Imaginisce Poinsettia flower (I love how sparkly these are!)

For Mrs. Snowman I used the new American Crafts Blue Skies Paper Collection...it's so much fun using non-Christmas papers for Christmas cards! The edge of her hat is decorated with May Arts Velvet Ric Rac, and then I have made a flower collection accent piece using some flowers from my stash....one being a Prima that didn't match my pink paper, but have no fear I found a Copic that matched perfect and then just colored over the flower and it matches beautifully now!  I have also used a White Imaginisce Wild Flower and in the center of the collection is an American Crafts Flair Piece.

I hope you have enjoyed my snowpeople; and if you make one I would LOVE it if you would link it up on this post so I can come and visit your snow people! :)  Make sure you head on over to EIO to see all the amazing specials that Barb has going on (you can click on the link in my sidebar to go shop)...and make sure you tell her that I sent you! 

Wish me luck that I get all of my shopping done today...thank goodness I only need a couple more things!

Today we are
Showcasing  

Love InStyle!

Welcome to the InStyle Stamps December Blog Hop!

I hope you are all ready for the holidays!  I started my Christmas shopping yesterday and only have a few things left to get!  YAY!  I'm ALL done with school for the semester so I am relieved and ready to have some long awaited fun in my craft room!

This months blog hop is show casing some of the new love stamps over at InStyle Stamps!  Today I have made a card and a cute treat holder that you could give to your loved one!

Like usual, you get to decide which DT member inspires you the most! After you go and view all of the other DT's projects make sure you head on over to the InStyle Stamps Blog to vote for your favorite project! The DT member who gets the most votes will win a prize....AND YOU CAN WIN A PRIZE JUST FOR VOTING!!! All you have to do is place your vote; then leave a comment on the post with the poll before 11:59pm EST on Sunday, December 20, and winners will be announced on Monday.

 For my projects I have used the new Mitchel and Tiff image!  Aren't they so adorable in love?! 

 

 For my background I have used a Fiskars Heart punch, Spellbinders Heart Die and Renaissance Borderabilities.  Mitchel and Tiff are cut out with my Labels One and popped up with dimensionals.

 

 The cute couple were colored with my Copics and highlights with my White Gel Pen.

 

 Then I created this adorable treat box with my Mega Curved Rectangles. I saw the tutorial here and tweeked it to work with nesties that I already had.

 

 And then you can see how treats fit very nicely inside.  You could also put jewelry or any small gift in here.

 

I hope you enjoyed my project!   Your next stop is Mary's blog!
