Spirited Snowmen simple stamping

I love snowmen and the snowmen in this stamp set are adorable. You can make simple cute cards with this set. The card on the right all I used was this set, ink and paper. For the card I made a card from whisper white. I then used balmy blue ink on a napkin to make the background. I then stamped the snowman image and sentiment in memento black. For the card on the left I stepped it up a little by using a DSP mat. The card I made using cherry cobbler cardstock. I then cut a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of All is Bright DSP to mat on top. I stamped the snowman and sentiment with memento black on the DSP.
There are many ways to use stamp sets to make simple cards. Find a stamp set you like, cardstock, ink and perhaps some DSP to make your cards. The Holiday catalog has many beautiful stamps sets and papers to choose from. Take a look and give it a try. If you need a catalog let me know, I’ll send you one.

Pencil Holder stocking stuffer/small gift

 Hello. I’m still working on craft fair projects.I got some cute pencils at Michaels the other day and wanted a way to package them . I found a post on stampwithnellie that was perfect.
Materials used:
6x6 piece of DSP ( I used a scrap from All is Bright in the  Holiday Catalog)

Score this at 1 1/2; 3; 4 1/2 inches
Right corner fold to 1st score line
Left topfold to 2nd score line
Left bottom fold to 1st score line

Fold and glue

These could be used for other things than pencils. Emery boards, candy etc. These would make great party favors. You don’t have put 2 . I did because when I got the pencils home I found out that one is a colored pencil and the other is a regular pencil.
