There is no Royal Kat hop today 'cause we figured everyone would be getting ready for Christmas. Can you believe it's only a couple days from now? I know I can't. But I did want to post this Christmas card.



I used the Hearts stamp set. I just replaced Valentine's with Christmas cut with my Cricut.

Supplies:
Bazzill cardstock
Provocraft pattern paper
Queen Kat stampsCricut Expression
Stickles

Merry Christmas to you all. Hope the upcoming new year will be better for all of us.

It's another Queen Kat Hop

Today's challenge is to use blue, white and silver. I hope you got her from Nancy's blog. If not, just start at the QKD blog and follow the trail. You will love everyone's projets.

Today, I created a cute little mini book to give to a coworker or a friend. It was really easy to make and quick too. It took only about 10 minutes from start to finish!!! And it was perfect to use with my Busy stamps . While it is hard to see, I "painted" my little guy with some silver Shimmerz and I had to use some brown cardstock to make him stand out a little.




I started by cutting 2 pieces of chipboard and 4 pieces of pattern paper each 4x4. I adhered the pattern paper to both sides of the chipboard then rounded the bottom edges. Using my Bind It All, I added Owires to the top and some ribbon. I stamped my items from the BUSY stamp set with my circle Nestabilities, then mounted them to the cover. Inside I added post it notes and voila - done. Hope you like it.

Don't forget to stop at the store and pick out your stamps. After all, there is a wonderful sale (up to 35% off) now through Christmas Eve, so stock up while you have the chance.

Queen Kat #8

I was having lots of fun with Queen Kat's new the Belated Birthday set so I decided to make a tag. Using my Heart Nestabilities, I was able to get this pretty cool tag. Doesn't it really depict the craziness we go through this time of year - too many packages, not enough time.

Queen Kat #7

On the 7th day of christmas, I decided to create a simple, but elegant tag for you.



When I was selected as a RSM, I picked up a QKD grab bag and found this Seasons Greetings stamp (along with tons of other amazing stamps). It was perfect to create a quick and elegant tag. After I embossed the tag, I used Angel Wings Shimmerz over it for a little glimmer and shine.
