Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

Is it too early for a Christmas card? My first one for 2025.

Thinking of You watch

I'm obsessed with this stamp and watch die set by The Stamp Market. In fact, they just came out with a smaller set of watches and I had to order those too. They are coming today so let's hope I can find some time to create some cards this long Memorial weekend. This card is actually pretty easy since it's mostly die cuts of the watch. Just put it all on and go with it.

Cracked Glass

This is the first time trying this technique and it was quite easy. You can see the Cracked Glass technique here at Splitcoast https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/cracked_glass/. I posted a close up so you can see the cracked effect.

I used clear embossing powder, applied it several times (after watching the video) and on the last attempt, I accidentally knocked over my jar of embossing powder onto the floor and now I am almost out. What a mess I had!! But I have had this jar for YEARS so it's time I replace it anyway. I love the WOW brand and might look to see if Amazon has it?

I love this girl stamp by  Katzelkraft. They have since gone out of business so I am glad I got her while I still could. I have no idea what sort of occasion I would send this for but I still think she's great!!

Stamping Sensations - Feminine or Anything Goes
The Paper Players - Things that Fly (this girl's umbrella is flying on a windy day)

Hummingbird with nest

The Paper Players - Things that Fly
Inspire.Create - Summer Vibes

I made the hummingbird nest
out of shredded paper. 
Hummingbirds have eggs the size
of a tic tac. Very tiny. I have never
seen one but I hope I do one day
since we have lots of
hummingbirds each summer.
