Sisters United...

dEb here  ~~~ Just a quick post to share a little card made for my "sisters". I was looking through some "vintage" Unity Stamp Company stamps and came across these 3 gals. This was among some of the first stamps I bought from this awesome company !! I made the card to celebrate all of my sisters who are on this creative journey with all of us at MPC.

Supplies: Craft Smith card base, Unity Stamp Company girlfriend image & sentiment, 

envelope stamp ( origin unknown ), Ranger Distress Markers

We are looking forward to a fabulous year at Mountain Plains Crafters. Come along with all of us. 2015 is going to be fantastic !!

Glitter Is Stronger Than Blood

Glitter is stronger than blood! That's what our Design Team says. And with that saying goes this "just for fun" challenge: make a card or project that uses glitter in honor of our craft sisters. Now doesn't that sound like a great challenge here at the holidays?

M & M Christmas Poem Tags and Gift Box

My sister drafted me into doing a crafty project for her.  She found this printable Christmas poem and wanted them made into tags for gifting M & M candies.  I found this printable at ucreate.com.  Go here to find the pdf file to print: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/m-christmas-poem-free-printable/

Afer printing, I adhered to heavy white cardstock and trimmed.

Next, I used a hole punch in the corner and added some twine.  Of course, no project is complete 

without a little glitter!  I traced over the M & M title with my clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.

One more thing......scroll down......

Before I give these to my sister, I decided to create a cute little gift box.

I used my We R Memory Keepers score board/trimmer and just pulled

it all out of my head.  A score here and there, hole punches, some washi

tape on the inside seam.....before you know it, I had a pretty cute little

gift box.  I usually experiment, rather than go by a template or guide.  

I'm kind of stubborn that way.  And yes, I know you've heard me say that before!

Additional Supplies: May Arts Ribbon, American Crafts adhesive glitter tape, K & Company Mod Holiday designer paper, Tombow Xtreme adhesive runner, craft flowers from Michaels, Target washi tape

Homespun Holiday

dEb here with a quick card AND a way to be green all at the same time.... I absolutely love the holidays.. Christmas patterned papers, holiday rubber stamps, my new Tim Holtz poinsettia die . I love holiday lights, classic Christmas movies ( Elf and A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim )  & quirky Christmas movies ( The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Family Stone ). I am also a hoarder of Christmas cards that I receive from my friends.. There, I admitted it !! I have cards from friends near and far; and I cherish each and every one of them.. I keep them year to year but eventually do send most to the recycle bin.. Some, however, I have kept for years. This year as I was heading to recycle with last year's cards, in anticipation of receiving new ones this year, I had a thought... Why not make cards out of them ???  I know I am not the first person to do this but I think my efforts might be a bit unique. 

I started with a kraft card, got out my 1" circle punch and went to town. I used a fun sentiment from Unity Stamp Company's "Stay Cozy" and finished with a doily half and half of a 2.5" circle. The dotted paper is from We R Memory Keeper's "Winter Frost" collection. Thanks to Brian, Bonnie, Lisa, Jacky, Donna and Meredith for helping me make memories - AND cards !!
