New Video for Coaster Post it Notes

Hi Stampers,
Do you remember the covered coasters I did for the DOstamper Thursday DSC#147 Color My World Challenge?  As promised,  I made a video this week for you on how I made these using Christmas Paper to cover them instead.

These coasters are the perfect little gift to give to a teacher or a friend. Really.....who doesn't use Post-It Notes? I even think they are cute to give to a hostess too or as a topper on a Birthday gift. I'm sure no matter who you give them to they will just love them!

Enjoy the instructional video and have a Blessed and a Merry Christmas!  God Bless!

Here is a photo of the original coasters too.  To view that original post CLICK HERE 

The image on the left was designed using the colors required for the DSC#147 Color My World Challenge.  I used the new English Garden Designer Series Paper to cover the coaster and clip, and Crumb Cake 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon for the bow on the top of the clip. 

For the coaster on the right I used the new Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack and the ribbon was  Lucky Limeade 3/8 Inch Ruffled Ribbon

The finishing touch  on both coasters was adding the ribbon bow on the top of the clip!

A Nice Cuppa Cocoa Card- DSC# 161

Hi Stampers,
This weeks card will be a Christmas Punch Art Card which required me using some retired punches and framelit sets, but  it is also a sneak peek into the new Occasions Catalog.

The Challenge photo below definitely says Christmas to me.  Christmas time as a child reminds me of Hot Cocoa; so...my card for this week's DSC#161 Home Sweet Home Challenge is a punch art cocoa card and it will give you a  sneak peek of the new stamp and framelit set from the new Occasions Catalog called A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set and Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies.


The new A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set and Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies is perfect for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Tea Bag/Hot Cocoa Card, Get Well or simply Love or a card for a Great Friendship.  This fantastic set will be available for purchase Jan 5when the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration promotion begin, so get your wish list ready! 

A Nice Cuppa Cocoa DSC#161

For many of the shapes on this punch art card I had to use some great (but retired punches) to get the shapes that I wanted.  For his little hat, I used two retired punches, the Ornament Punch and the Blossoms Petal XL Punch, along with the current Oval Punch. The little hand were done with the old Mitten Builder Punch.  So as you can see, many of the punches are used for creating other shapes other than what the punch alone would do.  Working on a punch art card, you need to grab whatever will work to give you the shape you need and alter it a little too. Little candy cane from from the oldie but goodie, Scentsational Season Stamp Seet and Holiday Collection Framelits. That adorable little tea cup is from the A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set and Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies.

Punch art cards are tons of fun to make.  Try one sometime...
Hope you enjoyed the card, love to hear your comment if you have time.
God Bless!
