I've received so many compliments on a card I created I felt obligated to share my 'recipe'
So get out your pencils and paper and get ready to write, this could be difficult.....
Stampin' Up! 2" scallop punch for wreath in silver glitter, 1" circle punch for the inside.
Tiny hole punches for the holly's, with Stampin' Up red glitter
Base was cut at 5x3 3/4
Door was cut at 3x4, and then cut at 1 1/2"x1 1/2
Stamp your holiday greeting, add either a silver brad or embellishment for door knob, then add red bow to wreath.
Ok well, thats it! How super elegant is this?!
Barbara Burrows and I am a Stampin" Up Independent Demonstrator in the Syracuse area. As a busy working wife and Mom to a teen and preteen, my life is filled in constant motion and when I first started designing cards, it was a way of relaxing and spending time for myself. But I have found that creating and designing each unique greeting card, has become a truly enjoyable experince. And I hope that I bring that to each and everyone of you when I host monthly card shows, and stamp camps!

Barbiezilla
Ok, so I had these grand illusions of surprising our new neighbors with this miniature version of their new home, from the Winder Wonderland cart. Oooh myyy gooosh! Was it a royal pain in the arsh. With almost 2 house into this construction of cutting, scoring and gluing all these tiny pieces together I had enough of it!
Even though I designed it with the Fit To Page button, it was still very difficult to adhere all the tiny pieces together.
I reluctantly finished it, and not too overly pleased with it, I decided "How could I ever give something like this to our new neigbhors." "Come on now, after all I want them to think I perfect". Barbie is now ROTFL :)
But before I did, ROTFL, Barbiezilla came through, and well you can see what happen next.

So, if at first you don't succeed, ah screw all that nonsense and just scrap the whole project and go for something easier....
