Hey stamping friends, my Instagram account has been hacked, taken down and held for ransom.  I've reported to Instagram with screen shots of the e-mails I have received and am waiting to see if they can help restore it.  It doesn't sound promising, but I am remaining hopeful.  And before you ask...yes, even with the 2 Factor Authentication, they got ahold of my account.

To Instagrams credit, they did send me an e-mail letting me know suspicious activity was detected, but it was at 3 am and I was sound asleep.  I checked my account first thing and it was already gone.

If any of you know how you get Instagrams attention or have an e-mail for a contact other than the standard help desk message, please reply to this newsletter and let me know.

Thank you!!

St. Nick Coffee Treats

The last Christmas treats for the season.  These were so fun!  

I used the St. Nick Stamps & Dies. and Mugs & Kisses Die Set.

I stamped Santa first and colored him with Copic markers and then positioned the mug die where I wanted it and cut. 

The mug, whip cream, snowflake and candy cane are in the Mugs & Kisses Die set.

The tag on the cello bag is from Potted Poinsettias Stamps & Dies.

Image a little box to fit on the back side and  filled them with a snack size Hershey bar and a Starbucks coffee packet for a cute little treat.  The cello bags are actually Wilton Pretzel Bags and I cut the to shorten them a little.

Winter Mini Purse Treats

It is treat making season!  

I love to make itty bitty little treats to give out during the holiday season.  These hold a couple of snack size candy bars or this time I used one snack size bar, one mini Ghiraridelli square and a little candy cane.

I've been making these mini purse treats for years and you can find the pattern and instruction HERE.

I used all Honey Bee Stamps products for these, starting with my favorite Holiday Cheer Paper Pack.

The bow is from Layering Holiday Bells Dies.

Candy cane is from Mugs & Kisses Dies. 

The greenery is from Lovely Layers: Winter Greenery.

Woven Vintage Basket Arrangement

Fewer things make me happy in the stamping world that a new basket, vase or vessel to put beautiful flowers and arrangements in.  

The  Vintage Basket Die from the Make It Merry Release makes me ridiculously happy!

This time I cut 1/4" strips of cardstock and wove them over the basket for additional texture.  I love the way it turned out!

The background is made using the Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder.  The greeneries and berries are from Lovely Layers: Winter Greenery and the poinsettias are from the Lovely Layers: Poinsettia.  The sentiment and the cute little tag are from Potted Poinsettia Stamps and Dies .

Layering Holiday Bells

In all the years I've been stamping, I have never owned a bell set in this shape.  

I've had plenty of the traditional jingle bell style, but I gotta tell you, THIS die set is so pretty and has lots of options for layers and styling!  I love it!

The background is cut from the Christmas Star A2 Coverplate.  It is hard to see on this brown cardstock, but this is a pretty one!

The bells are cut from cream and  linen colored cardstock and lightly sponged.  The two layer bow is in the die set.

The greenery is from Winter Greenery and tucked under the bells.
