~ Stamp Simply Ribbon Store * Holiday Crafting Made Easy ~
November 2nd, 2010 by Holly McMillen
Welcome, Friends!
Today is the day! The November Stamp Simply Ribbon Store hop! If you’ve arrived here from Linda Duke’s blog, then you are in the right spot! One lucky hopper is going to win this fabulous prize:
Isn’t that yummy?! I’ll tell you in a minute how you can get a chance at it!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
For my project, I did a box set that is soooooo easy! The cards are pretty CAS for me….
I used the luscious Graphic 45 Christmas Past designer papers on each card.
Instead of putting the image on the card and the sentiment on the tag (as most do), I swapped it. I used the gorgeous Church image from the new JustRite Simple Blessings set.
Each church is treated with white puff paint (snow).
Each card has a different sentiment from the set embossed in red on the vanilla overlay.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: JustRite Stampers Cling set Simple Blessings, JustRite Stampers’ Christmas Nested Sentiments
Colors: Cherry Cobbler, Handsome Hunter, Very Vanilla, Graphic 45 Christmas Past designer Paper, acetate
Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Versamark, copics,
Accessories: 1/2″ Wrinkled ribbon (moss), ivory 1/2 pearls, red 1/2 pearls, Oval nestabilities, fleur de lis border punch, snowflake punch, gold embossing powder, red embossing powder, white puff paint, icicles stickles, bow easy, hole punch, sticky tape, gold cording, dimensionals, scalloped oval punch (large)

A beautiful project. Love the cards with all the different papers and the tag image. What a wonderful gift for a special friend!
These papers are really pretty. You did a great job on the box and cards both.
Holly what a beautiful boxed set! Love the simple yet stunning design of each card using the idea of a tag for the focal image.
Like the box, like the cards, like it all!
Holly, What a great project! Really liked the switch of the image from the main card to the tag! At first, I thought they were different churches, but I see where it was just positioned a slight bit differently each time and some of the flower soft was applied a bit differently. It made each of them appear unique and not the same! Thanks for sharing your project!

Hi Holly. I’m another new kid on the block. I just found you in the blog hop. These cards and the box – WOW!!! I adore them. If I had the money I would be begging you to sell these to me. I’ve been looking at your other works – ALL GORGEOUS BTW!!! Love the ornament in it’s own box. You’re one talented lady.
Thanks for sharing your creations. It’s so much fun looking and dreaming of trying to do something like that one day.
Hugs and blessings…Tracy 🙂

Hi Holly,
I love the idea of the gift set and very simple and quite lovely!
I love the card set you made and really like that you swapped the image with the sentiment on the tag. That image works perfectly on the tag I think. The box is great as well!

Wow! What a beautiful box of cards! I love the colors and the details. Someone’s going to really like receiving this gift! Thanks for sharing your talents!
Beautiful set of cards! I like the way some elements stayed the same for each card, but the patterned paper changed.

Wowzers! This is so gorgeous. What a great gift. Nicely done!
Very beautiful. I love the box and all of the different cards are simply stunning!
