Deep red wreath

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and received everything you wanted from Santa.  :-)  Today I am sharing another Dirt Pile creation for you using a stamp set that is on the retired list. GASP!!! I know but sometimes you have to do away with the old favorites to make room for the new. This one is called Mothers Words of Wisdom. This wreath is gorgeous and super fun to color. I have stamped the wreath onto Classic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

Colored with a few Copics from Collections

I then cut around the delicate petals of the wreath and the inside so I could pop it up on dimensionals. Some faux stitching around the edges. Isn't this stripped ribbon awesome with the jute twine and button combo? Another of my favorites and you can never go wrong with this wreath. Check out the Sale Page and all the retiring stamp sets! Have a wonderful weekend.

Gratitude Box and card set

I was thumbing through trying to find inspiration for a new gift set to make and I always look back at past ones I have created. This helps me get motivated with new ideas or ones I like and want to recreate with new stamps. Back when I was in the Dirt Pile over on SCS at the Dirty Dozen this was one of the creation gift sets I made.

This is the cards in the set using the stamp With Gratitude and the sentiments are from Orchids. I stamped each of the flowers and sentiment onto Classic White card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
My colors are various Copics from collections:

Here is the box front that holds the card. I loved how these turned out so feminine and warm. This cone flower was one of my favorites. I made my first ever flower at the time using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom Two. The flower and the floral Flourishes on the box design paper have sparkle added to them. I had some paper doilies that were added to the cards along with some beautiful Ivory Wrinkled ribbon. I love these, did I mention that? Some jute twine and Emerald Coast button on a card.

I hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by.

I don't have anything new to show you today, however here is one of my Dirty Dozen creations I made when I was still dirty. hee hee This adorable puppy is called Autumn Fun.

Dirty Dozen Gift Set

I don't have anything new today that I made as we worked on Science Projects all day yesterday after the soccer games. I have to tell you I was beat mentally from the projects. ha! We got them done, and I am as thrilled as the boys are.

Since this is my last month on the Dirty Dozen. I thought I would share with you a few of my projects. But first, I really have enjoyed the last 6 months with the girls. Talk about going by fast! Seems like just the other day Lydia asked me to be Dirty. Thank you so much Lydia!
Here is one of the projects I made the first month I was Dirty.This is a gift set that I made for a very special person. Here is the cards in the box. I also made a bookmark and recovered a notepad. The box I painted and covered the inside with the paper as well so when she is done with all the goodies she has a wonderful little box for other goodies.
All the stamps are from Clear Dollar Stamps. Single scriptures on each item. This beautiful paper I found at the local craft store and really loved the earthy feel to the flowers and colors. An easy gift set and it looks like you spent a ton on it. Our little secret. hee hee Thanks for stopping in with me today!
