OSAT Blog Hop Glad Tidings We Bring

Wow can you believe it's November already and soon it will be Christmas?  I've got a couple great and simple projects you could create for Christmas in no time at all.  I took my inspiration from the August-December catalog for my projects.  I fell in love with the Merry Moose bundle last year and I was so happy when Stampin'Up! decided to bring it back for this year's holiday catalog.  Stampin'Up! made a banner using this set and I just knew I had to make one too.  I apologize in advance for the color on the banner, but there was no sun when I took pics of my projects and none in the forecast.  Rest assured I used Real Red on this project.  I was looking for a background to shoot my photo and decided my buffalo plaid fluffy shawl would do the trick.  I think for the most part the directions should be easy just by looking at it, but if not, please feel free to post a comment. I did use the Stamperatus to stamp the buffalo check.  That way I could stamp over it if I didn't get a good image the first time.   I really like how this project came out.  The complete list of products can be found below.

 I then decided to use the extra piece of buffalo plaid cardstock I had stamped on my card.  I cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly largest die.  The layers of my card are from the bottom up are Thick Whisper White cardstock, a piece of the Black Glimmer paper in the holiday catalog and then another piece of Whisper White.  I used the next to smallest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut my words out that I stamped in Real Red from Itty Bitty Christmas.  The moose was punched out of Whisper White.  I added some Elegant Faceted Gems and a bit of black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.  The buffalo plaid piece, the moose and the sentiment are all popped up with mini dimensionals.

Well I hope you've enjoyed my projects as much as I've enjoyed making them.  Buffalo plaid is part of my Christmas decor so I thought it worked out well for my projects this month as well.

Blessings,

Renee
