Cottage Lane Stamper

 I saw this cute matchbox on our recent Onstage virtual event.  What a cute idea for a stocking stuffer, so I created my own box that would hold a Bath & Body hand sanitizer and a lip balm. I recently participated in an online holiday boutique with my former church.  One of the organizers was telling me how my little hand sanitizers was perfect for a male friend. I'm guilty of gearing this mostly to women.  Here is the gift box that I had at the craft fair. So I created a the new box idea for the male gift recipients too! I used the Peaceful Boughs stamp set and the coordinating Beautiful Boughs dies, which are in the 2020-2021 Annual catalog. Here is another version, that is not gender specific, or could be for a younger person. I used the Snowman Seasons stamp set and the Snowman Builder punch for this cute little guy.

The "Let it Snow" DSP (Designer's Series Paper) from the 2019 Holiday catalog is absolutely adorable!  Did you notice that it is all glitzy!  I didn't until I opened up the package today.  Missed that in the photos in the catalog and online. There are a couple of designs that are just perfect for making a quick and easy card when paired with the "Let It Snow" embellishment kit.  Just love the tiny little mittens, scarves and hats!  There are 4 felt sheets, one in each color of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Shaded Spruce and Real Red. Here's a quick video on just how easy this card is.  It would be a great project to do with the kidlets!

There are a lot of shaker cards out there with snowmen in them. Well this is my twist on those. You know how on food shows they talk about "deconstructed" foods, like tacos, pot roast, or chicken pot pie.  Well, I had this idea in the wee hours this morning, my card is a shaker card with a deconstructed snowman!  Actually one year I sent a deconstructed snowman in a jar to my cousin in Florida it was in water with a hat, carrot, & buttons floating about.  This is a take on that.  In the shaker I have a three snowballs, 2 made from the 3/4" punch and 1 from the 1/2" punch. Then I sponged the ends with Smokey Slate. I stamped the top hat with Black Archival ink, as well as the buttons and bowtie from Snow Place stamps and cut out with the coordinating Framelits.  The buttons I punched out individually with the 1/4" punch.  The carrot I cut out from a scrap of orange cardstock into a triangle.  The "snow" is some "Angel Du...
