Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop, I am so excited to be part of this hop and I know you will enjoy all the projects! I chose one of the patterns in the Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack for both of my projects today. At first glance, most of the patterns in this paper are definitely not very manly but the pattern I chose to work with certainly can be. :-) I used the Detailed Deer Framelits to crop an image from the layer of Crumb Cake. I kept the negative piece and placed it over a striped piece of the DSP. This was layered on a piece of Soft Suede and then the small flag was added to the back. I added the main layer to a piece of Very Vanilla that was run through the Big Shot with the 3D Dynamic Corrugated Embossing Folder. I stamped my sentiment from the Best Birds set on a 3/4" strip of vanilla and then added a snippet of Soft Suede to the right edge and flagged the left. Everything is on a Crumb Cake card base. This card was very simple to create and the layout could be used with any Designer Series Paper you may have. I inked the group of trees from Winter Woods in Crumb Cake and cropped the naked trees from the In the Woods Thinlits out of Soft Suede set to create my wintry scene. My sentiment is from the Country Home set and I added a few leftover sequins from a recent Paper Pumpkin Kit. I love that I have a few extra goodies from most of those kits!!

In my Facebook Live last week (video is below), I created these fun candy treats for the holidays. These are the perfect gift for those people you want to gift with a small something. Your Letter Carrier, UPS Driver, Hairdresser, Bank teller, Grocery Store Clerk, your kiddos former teachers...... These nugget trays are so simple to make. You start with a 2 x 4 piece of carsstok, score it o
at 1/2" down both long sides to create a tray. Wrap 1 x 3 strips of DSP around the nuggets of your choice and adhere them to the tray with Tear & Tape or Glue Dots. Side the tray into one of our 2 x f8 cello bags and tie it with a ribbon. Add a tag for more fun. Here are three I created. They all use the All is Bright Designer Series Paper. I also used the Christmas Bulb Punch, and fussy cut the stocking from another pattern in the DSP I used our White Chalk Marker to add a little highlight to each of the bubs. I "drew" the string by placing a circle die cut on my stitched circle and running my Basic Black Marker around it. My sentiment is from the Dashing Deer stamp set and I embossed it in gold to match the gorgeous pattern in the piece of the DSP. This stocking was fussy cut from the same DSP I used to wrap the nuggets and then I added some Red Rhinestones that are part of the Year End Closeout!!! Created this matchbook treat with a 2 1/2 x 7 1/2 strip of red, score at 1 and 4 1/2. I used the Buffalo Check background stamp and stamped it in Mint Macaron. I then used my ruler and my Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Write Markers and a ruler to create more lines for this fun pattern. You could also use our Stampin' Blends.

I love this time of year, I love creating Fall and Halloween projects but I also love creating Christmas Projects and this one was fun and super easy. I have all the measurements for the card in the video below.I used a couple of pieces of one of the patterns in the Dashing Along DSP that an be earned in September. Place an order or host an online or in person party of at least $250 and you will earn it FREE! I added a window sheet between the two areas of DSP and my sentiment is from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set found in our Annual Catalog. Check out this amazing Glimmer Paper, I used it along with the Blizzard Thinlits Die to crop the detailed snowflakes. You can find the Joyous Noel 6x6 Glimmer Paper Pack (includes 24 6x6 sheets in Merry Merlot, Tranquil Tide and Copper) on page 29 of the Holiday Catalog and you can start ordering from it tomorrow!

From my family to yours, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!! I am so thankful for all my customers and team members, I feel so blessed today. :-) Here's a fun card called a Diorama. You take two quarter sheets of cardstock, score and fold them to create the main card shape. Crop a shape out of the front and decorate it. Scroll down for a link to one of my videos showing you how to make a diorama. I cropped two rows of houses from the Hometown Greetings Edgelits for this card and also used the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the large snowflake in the top left corner.
Top View I adhered one set of houses to the inside back of the card and one to the inside front of the card for added dimension. Side view shows the dimension Close up of the embossing folder and the white snowflake from the Seasonal Tags Framelits. The greeting was embossed in white and I added a tiny strip of the Merry Little Christmas DSP to the end of the banner. Check out my VIDEO on making a Diorama Card HERE

Gorgeous card using the Good Tidings stamp set with Emerald Envy, gold and Berry Burst. The background was created by running the card base through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Basics Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The holly is two step stamping and was stamped in Emerald Envy and Emerald envy stamped off. The berries were stamped in Berry Burst. The greeting was then stamped in Versamark and Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder was sprinkled over it and heat set. I cropped the greeting with the Lots of Labels Framelits and I cropped the same size from Berry Burst. I cut is across the center and added it to the top and bottom of the main layer to ad a pop of color. For a bit of interest, I added a Berry Burst Bitty Bow.

How fun is this treat! I found these adorable Santa Hat Hershey's Kisses at my local store and knew that they would look so cute in one of our 2" x 2" Clear Tiny Treat Boxes. I wrapped a 9" x 1-3/8" strip of the Lemon Lime Twist Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper around the box and secured it to the top of the box. I fussy cut the hat by tracing one I found on a project I made last year. I added some of our Embossing Paste for the fur on the hat. The greeting is from the Seasonal Chums stamp set and I attached the hat and greeting to a 1-3/4" circle of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

Here's another Open End Sour Cream container for you. This one uses the Merry Mistletoe stamp set and the Be Merry Designer Series Paper. I love these containers because the recipient doesn't have to destroy your beautiful creation to get at the treats. :-) I stamped the reindeer in Early Espresso and cropped him with the Everyday Label Punch and cropped another piece from Garden Green. I cut the punch out up the center and added it to both sides of the reindeer piece for a pop of green.
I colored one of our Rhinestone Basic Jewels with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend Marker and tied a bow with the Quilted Christmas 1/4" Ribbon. I added some Hershey's kisses to the inside and I will admit, there should be a few more in there but I ate them!

Here is a super quick and easy gift for anyone. I made a ton of these to share at the Stampin' Up! On Stage event in early November and I am just now getting around to sharing them with you. Good thing they are available everywhere and are super easy to make. My favorite to use at Christmas are the Hershey's Candy Cane bars, I have two sizes, the 1.55 oz and the 3.5 oz.
The smaller bar can be easily wrapped by a 5-1/4" x 6" piece of Quilted Christmas DSP and I wrapped the larger bars with a 6" x 6" and then added a panel of coordinating cardstock over the seams. I used the Merry Christmas greeting from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set and I cropped the phrase at the bottom of this stamp with a piece of scotch tape before I inked it. Here is a Garden Green version.

I have a pretty blue snowflake card for you today, I chose Pool Party and Bermuda Bay as my colors. I used the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set and our gorgeous Bermuda Bay Satin Stitched Ribbon.
The snowflakes were randomly stamped in Pool Party and the greeting was stamped in Bermuda Bay. The squares were cropped using the Layering Squares Framelits. I added some Rhinestones to the row of snowflakes under the main layer.
