Vintage Christmas Ideas


All the items on this post where made using these Crafty Secrets products. Plus I also used there Sweet Kids stamp set. This post has lots of pictures but to see the items in person you can come in to the Store and see them first hand

The Wreath is made with a Grape Vine wreath bought at the craft store. The Largest of the Santa's is from Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps. Hes matted on Star Dream Paper and Best Creations Paper. All the the Santa's images have had the edges distressed and had Distressing Ink on them























The Candles image was stamped on tissue paper and colored in. Then you place it on the candle and cover it with wax paper and use your embossing tool on it.
For the basket all you have to do is glue a Cotton Scrap on it and embellish as desired. The ornaments also have Cotton Scraps on them and some ribbon. Stickles also work great on glass Ornaments. For more info on the card click HERE. This will take you to my personal blog and tell you how I made it.

Think Pink and Tattered Angels

In Honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month we have a space dedicated to thinking Pink
Our 15% OFF pink Selection come in and check it out
Breast Cancer Card Idea using Sultry 6x6 Paper Pad from Basic Grey. The Stamps are Crafty Secret's Support the Girls and KI Memories ribbon. The edges were distressed with Rangers Worm Lipstick distressing ink and of course Stickles in Cotton Candy and Star Dust.
We are so exticed to have added Tattered Angels Glitter Mist to the store this week. I found this wonderful Hanging File Fold Tutorial while looking at blogs you can click HERE to see it four your self. Instead of useing the plastic stenticals I cut some images out on the Pazzle with Card Stock and used that for my stentcal. I used Bronze, Coral, and Timeless Lilac Glitter Mist on my folder. The Flowers are from Heidi Swapp then spritzed with the Coral Mist.
For this Christmas card I first Sprayed Bronze mist all over the paper and let it dried. The Gingerbread Man stamp is fromImaginisce first I have to cut of the Happy Holidays wording but as you can see were are going to use that latter on. Then I stamp the Gingerbread man on it using Ranger Adirondack Espresso Ink. I also stamped three Gingerbread Men on a scrap piece of cardstock and cut them out. I used repostional tape on them and put then over the stamps on the card so when I spray more colors the gingerbread men stay bronze. Then I sprayed Coral and Sea Foam Green Over the card. let it dry and took off the top Gingerbread men. Then I stamp Happy Holiday on the card using ColorBox Gold ink. I then used Gold Stickles to out line the Gingerbread Men and add a couple BoBunny Buttons.
