Christmas Thank You

This turned out a whole lot better than I expected it to.  I used the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding papers to stay with the Christmas theme for one of the challenges that I will enter this in, but it kind of doesn't look too much like Christmas.  Probably because I used flowers and butterflies.  The stamps are Outlines Rubber Stamps, the butterflies are Cheery Lynn die cuts glued onto Figgy Pudding paper and cut around the die cut.  I popped up one of the butterflies on a pop-up device of my own making and used pop dots for the other butterfly and flower.  The doily is also from Cheery Lynn.  I did use a Spellbinder die cut behind the Thank You. 

All the shiny is from Lindy Stamp Gang.  I actually used the mica powder to get that center flower to shine like that, and used Starburst Sprays for the butterflies, flowers and leaves.

I hope you enjoy this.  I had great fun creating it.

Ornament

I used an Outlines Rubberstamp Ornament Topper for this.  It was a challenge to photograph this thing, as I wanted to show off the hanging jewels and the top art work.  Enjoy.

Outlines Ornament Topper

This is an ornament topper that I got from Outlines Rubberstamps, and love to make this ornament.  I use Swarovski Crystals for the dangles.  It is hard to think this thing is made of paper/cardstock.  The stamps have such lovely details, and the embossing of the card stock gives it enough strengthe to allow it to hold the jump rings and  crystals with no problem.  I even impressed myself with the photography.  I was having trouble figuring out how to hold that thing and get a picture of the top to show off the cool details of this stamp.  I was packing up for a move and was working on the crystal which is just the right touch for this ornament.
