Creation Station - Celebrating the Season!

Welcome to Just Julie B Stampin'! Our theme this month is Celebrate the Season. And I'm excited to share a couple simple, but stunning ideas that you can make super quickly for the holidays. This ornament takes about 5 minutes from prepping everything to hanging it on the tree! And the card is a pretty close to 5 minutes too (maybe 6 minutes ;) ).

Since my first look at the Holiday Catalog, I was in love with the Dashing Deer set - so I decided to use that for my card! I used the Silver Foil Edged Cards (so nice that these are all prepped and have a coordinating envelope too - fold it in half). Then I glued a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Dashing Along Designer Series Paper. to leave just the silver edge showing. I added the saying on a Stitched Circle. Tied around the Cherry Cobbler Cotton Twine, and then Silver Foil flowers with Rhinestone Jewel centers, and of course a Silver Foil "Rudolph", with a Cherry Cobbler colored Rhinestone Jewel nose (I used the Stampin' Blends for that)!

This card came together so quickly - and I love it's simplicity, but elegance!

I got these clear ornament balls from Michael's Craft Store - they were a bargain at 25 of them for $20, but I got them on sale for $8!!

Then I filled one with twelve 1/2" x 6" strips of Dashing Along Designer Series Paper strips. I just rolled them into ringlets using a skewer stick - so quick and easy! I pushed all of those through the top of the open ornament, and added three 1/4" x 6" Silver Glimmer Paper, rolled up the same way. Add the ribbon around the top and a piece of the Cherry Cobbler Cotton Twine for a 'hanger' - and wah lah!! 

I Love how this could easily be adapted with any set of papers, or another stamp set too. It's always nice to have something quick to make when you need it!

I hope you enjoyed your stop by, and I can't wait to see what's next! Click on the link below to see what the fabulous Sara Nell-Langland has created ~

Kids DIY Christmas!

Children love to give gifts that they’ve made. How many of us have proudly worn a macaroni necklace created by one of our favorite children? This project will show you how to help your child create a gift that is useful and lasting. Best of all, children will learn a little about science and gardening. Fun and cheerful tags using the Here’s to Cheers bundle from the Stampin’ Up! 2016 Holiday Catalog complete the gifts, and they’re packaged in the 6” x 12” Gusseted Cellophane Bags. Use the leftover bags to create a cute wreath to hang on your front door. Children will be proud that they helped with décor and gift giving this season. This would make a fun class for older elementary or middle school children, or for children and parents.
