Speaking of Dressed Up, the Pop 'n Cuts Dies with Carrie Cudney - Another sneak peek!




Posted by Dawn's Creative Chalet 0 comments

All dressed up and someplace to go!

Hello friends! Last night I had a Christmas party to attend. I had a wonderful time. I have to say, it is the first Christmas party I have been invited to in a LONG time! I wanted to take an adult beverage with me for the hostess - I love Moscato De Asti and that is what's in the bag here. I knew she'd enjoy a little bit of sweet bubbly. I was going to buy a fancy schmancy wine bag.. then I thought.. why? I can decorate this plain paper bag and make it look better than any store bought bag!




And.. I did! Isn't it pretty? It took me maybe 10 minutes to whip this together.. and its very pretty and eye catching.

What I used:

Adult Beverage in a brown paper bag
3 1/2 inch Scalloped Tulle Ribbon - Cherry Cobbler
Very Vanilla Card Stock
Glimmer Paper - Champagne
Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink
Bold Snowflake 
More Merry Messages
Snow Flurry Bigz Die
Big Shot
Blossom Punch
Glue Dots
Large Pearl
Linen Thread

So, if needing a quick fancy schmancy bag, to take your "party favor" in, look no further than miscellaneous items in your craft room and give it that little extra personal touch - it will let others at the party realize just how crafty you are!

It has been snowing...

I know it is December, and I know it is winter, but, really? I was enjoying the "no snow so far" for the past few weeks. I am really not much of a winter person and as a friend of mine in AZ says.. and I quote "shoveling snow is a waste of time".. (thank you Sharon!) and I so agree!! So, to keep toasty warm here in Northwest Michigan, I stamp.. and stamp and stamp!

I think I got the inspiration for this card from Connie Babbit.. and if I'm wrong, please forgive me. It is CASE'd though. I *think* I changed the ink color a tad but other than that, it is what I had seen and I loved it!




Its a very clean and simple card, with just a hint of bling. I feel a card is "naked" with out some sort of bling added!
What I used:

Whisper White Card Stock
Bold Snowflake Stamp
More Merry Messages Clear Mount Stamp Set
Blossom Punch
Textured Embossing Folder - Lace Brocade
Big Shot 
Marina Mist Classic Ink
Black Staz On (envelope)
Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons
Linen Thread
