Test tubes for Christmas?!

That sounds more like a Halloween thing, doesn't it?  Well nope ~ not here.

If you remember a while back when we went to the SCS gathering I had posted a picture of all the goodies we got to take home with us and there was a test tube with Halloween M&M's in it ~ well I just had to make one.  I got a hold of Beth over at Blooming Where I'm Planted and asked her about the test tubes.  She was ever so kind to go where she went to get them and then she shipped them to me.  I'm a lucky girl!!

The base of these are Riding Hood Red that I layered with some white cs and some DP from Heidi Grace.  I used my SU scallop circle punch, my 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches for the gingerbread man tag on the front.  For the top of the bottle I used my SU scallop border punch and decorated it up with my white gel pen and my paper piercer then on the very top of the bottle I used my 1" and 3/4" circle punches.  A little ribbon and I was done. 

A very cute little gift idea for a co worker or neighbor, you think?  Tomorrow I'll show you the double one that I did.

Hope you all have a super great day!

Roses in Fall?

No silly, Roses in Winter.

This is one of my all time favorite set's that SU! has ever made. I love the versatility of this set. And yes, pink and brown being my favorite colors it was perfect for this card.
I used my watercolor crayons and watercolor paper for this card. The base card is Chocolate Chip and I layered it with Pink Pirouette. First I used my CB and border folders from Just my Type and added the squiggle at the far right of the card. I then tore the Pink Pirouette and watercolor papers so you could see the embossed border. I colored the stamps themselves with my crayons and spritzed them with water then stamped the image onto the paper. Once that was done I stamped the sentiment with Rose Red ink at the lower right of the paper. I also saved the torn off pink piece to add to the inside with a white piece of cs.

Here is an up close of the image. I think that it is really delicate looking.

I made another "wallet box" to package these up with. The envelopes are also stamped using the same stamps and technique so they match.

I thought that these were nice all boxed up together. They'd make a nice gift.

Here's to hoping that you've got some inspiration out of me today. I'd love to see what you'd come up with ~ post a link and I'll go take a peek!

Have a great evening!!! I'll see you tomorrow!
