Kween Bee Kreations

Top Note Tags

These custom tags were LOADS of fun to make!!  Especially because I was making them for special members of my family.  These were created for my brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and niece (who's due in January).

I used my Top Note die along with some Stampin' Up! punches and a few Cuttlebug embossing folders to create each tag.  I am very happy with the way these turned out - especially considering I made them all last night in less than 2 hours (along with 4 more that I haven't photographed yet). 

Did you see the Love You Much Bundle?  More details in yesterday's post as well.

Mr. Twigster Returns

Mr. Twigster makes yet another appearance here (see his debut here) in my Kreation for the day.  See the end of this post for a snapshot image of the "Mr. Twigster" stamp set.

This is a pretty simple card using product from the soon to be released Holiday Mini Catalog (coming October 1st).

The card base is Old Olive, wrapped around the center is a piece of the gorgeous Riding Hood Red and Very Vanilla striped 1 1/4" wide grosgrain ribbon.  This ribbon is a MUST HAVE for the holidays!  Just think of what you could do with it. 

Even wrapping a small gift box packs such a WOW factor (see photo below).  No need to hoard this ribbon - it comes in a 10 yard roll. 

Beneath the Kraft cardstock is a piece of Designer Series Paper from the collection called Ski Slope (also in the Holiday Mini Catalog).





P.S.  Don't miss out on the Never Before Seen Sale - it ends in 6 days!

Meet Mr. T

I pity the fool that doesn't fall in love with Mr. T...


                                             OR should I say Mr. Twigster?


OK, I did it... I pre-ordered from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. 

I just couldn't resist "Mr. Twigster" ( a set of four cute stamps for only $13.95 - see below). 

I started my Kreation with Basic Black cardstock.  To the top I added a piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock beneath a bit of Washington Apple designer series paper (DSP). 

The main image... Mr. Twigster himself ... is stamped onto Very Vanilla (although it looks like Whisper White in this photo). 

As soon as I stamped this little guy, I was in love.  He looks so much cuter in person!  I used the little string of lights stamp to create a swag above his top hat.  They are "secured" with silver Stampin' Up! brads for a bit of bling. 

If you look closely, you'll see that his scarf is paper pieced from the Bella Rose DSP.  I wanted him to be fancy for his debut. 

Now on to my FAVORITE part... look at that wide Riding Hood Red and Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon!  This was THE main thing I wanted from the Holiday Mini.  I simply adhered a piece of it along the bottom using some Sticky Strip to showcase it's beauty.   OOO AAAHHH, this ribbon is so yummy!

The "be of good cheer" sentiment is a rub on from the Holiday Happenings bundle (Hostess Level III).  To finish things off, I used a stick pin from the Pretties Kit and added a non Stampin' Up! plastic lightbulb to the top. 




I adore Mr. Twigster and can't wait to play with him again soon.

COMING SOON:  More sneak peeks into the Holiday Mini Catalog and an offer from Country Living Magazine.
