The December Kit was a 2016 Calendar! It is so cute and the most popular kit yet. As soon as the refills were available for sale they sold out! If you are local to me and you want to make one of these cute calendars you are in luck – I have a limited number of kits available and will be having a little class this Sunday, January 10th to make them. See the information HERE and let me know if you want to come.
Once you are done with the month these would be perfect to add to a scrapbook – especially a Project Life Scrapbook. Each month could be the first card for that month’s pages.
With the left over pieces I had from my kit I decided to create a little note card by adding some Designer Paper. Here is how it turned out:
Here are the supplies that I added to the Paper Pumpkin One Great Year refill to create the notecard:

Thanks for stopping in today.

I saw a snowman jar filled with peppermints somewhere – either Facebook or Pinterest. It was simple with a black hat and scarf on a jar. I decided I wanted to create one and fill it with tags. So now what to do for the tags – I had a stack of 1″ Whisper White strips of card stock on my craft table left from another project – well my stamp a stack class so I had a bunch. I decided to use those and make some abstract snowman tags.
Everyone in my Wrapping up the Holidays class got to make one of these jars and a dozen of the tags.
The hat on the jar is made with the Circle Framelits – a brim and a top and then a strip to wrap around for the side of the hat. I decided to put a hinge on the top of my hat so that you could just lift it up and pull out the tags without unscrewing the lid.
The tags are my favorite part and so simple. I stamped the three dots from the Snow Place stamp set. I guess they are 3 little lumps of coal. I cut the hats from the framelits and just punched a little hole in the top. I strung the hat on the baker’s twine and then through the tag. The hat swings. To finish tie a piece of ribbon around the tag and stamp the back with to/from.
Cute and quick and simple.
Thanks for stopping by today. I still need to wrap presents for Christmas and I have yet to mail out any Christmas cards – yikes! Maybe Christmas Eve will be the day they go out. That is pretty much the norm for me though.

He’s here. The third card for my “Reclaimed Wood” collection. I have more ideas to work on but this is the third one – a Snowman. The other two – the scarecrow and Frankenstein I’ve already shared. This one I actually created two versions – one I used for my Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack that I had last week and the other was a slightly stepped up version that I did for a swap group. So let me introduce the Skinny Snowman –
Isn’t he fun! And you might never guess where the eyes and nose come from or the trick for the mouth so I’ll tell you! I used the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies – the little decorative pieces for the details on this snowman. There is a little strip with tiny pumpkins – snip off the stem and ta-da you have some tiny oval eyes! Then the little strip with the trees – snip off the trunk and then you get the little pointy nose! I also used the snowflake element to decorate the hat. To create his smiley mouth I used my Project Life Journaling pen and traced one of my button containers – it was just the right size and shape to give him a big smile.
This is a skinny card – the base is 3″ wide – Basic Black and then I cut Whisper White strips which are stamped in VersaMark ink with the Hardwood Stamp – it is really light and in real life looks like white-washed wood. The brim of the black hat is a 4-1/4″ wide strip – so once you add that the card fits perfectly in our medium sized envelopes.
Here is my stepped-up version.
Can you see the difference? It’s not easy to see on the photos but I added some embossing. I stamped snowflakes on the top of the hat and embossed with clear embossing powder. The brim of the hat is embossed with the Hardwood stamp. Here is a closer look:
it just dresses him up just a bit. But I left that off when I held my Stamp a Stack class because I wanted to simplify it for them – they had a lot of cards to make that day. You could simplify even more by leaving off the Jolly & Bright from the top of the hat.
Here is a list of all the supplies:
