Triple Play Blog Hop: Week 7-Treat Toppers

It's the last week of the Triple Play Blog Hop.  Today's entry is the Treat Toppers die by Eileen Hull.

Here's my submission...

 

I used the Joy2Christmas stamp set as well as the basic4abc stamp set.

 Here's a close up of the snowman snow globe.  ;)

 

I used the die to cut regular light blue cardstock.  So easy!

 

I searched the web and found a cute Snowman Soup poem.

To continue on the Blog Hop, use the button on the sidebar.

Are you ready for this month's 30 Second Card Video?!?...Here it is!

Triple Play Blog Hop: Week 6 - Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Album, Brackets

It's Blog Hop Day!  This week is week 6 of 7 weeks for the Triple Play Blog Hop.

This week's die was designed by Brenda Pinnick.  It's a Sizzix Bigz die.  The Bigz dies can cut just about anything!  :)

Here's my entry....

I decided to make my project an ornament for our tree.  Once I die cut the red cardstock, I die cut some black mat board to adhere the cardstock to.  I then die cut the picture.  (Two dies for the price of one on this die!) 

Then I added some stamps...{of course!} I used the small trees from Christmas2build and then the large tree is from Joy2Christmas.  I colored in the trees with the Copic Spica Glitter Pens.  I then punched one more hole, added some ribbon and POOF I was done!

Now, if I could just get the rest of the tree decorated, I'd be set!  ;)

Hugs!
