Baby, It's Cold Outside

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hello Everyone! 

Wow, I still can't believe we are almost at the end of 2014! Ofta, where did the year go? It sure flew by~but I am looking forward to a lot of good things to come in 2015!

 We are especially "excited" for our two new Grand babies coming this year! Yup, both my daughter and son in law which are due in Feb and my son and daughter in law in July! Wow, can it get better that that?!

Today, I have a fun little card to share with you today using a cute cut file from the Silhouette Store. Isn't this little fella adorable?

I used papers that were in my scrap bin, yeah! I can't believe how full my bin is again~how about you? After cutting the reindeer with my Cameo, I pieced it all together and adhered in place. The fun little sled is from SU Watercolor Winter Simply Created card kit that a friend gave me. So cute, ha?

The doily is created using My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies metal die and stamped with the Stamping All Around Christmas stamp set. I finished with adding some fun twine to the project that is from Recollections.

Here is a fun little card that I have for today:

My card base is made with paper from Coordination's which my sweet friend, Diana sent me. I used the Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles for the base and base layer. I embossed it with a snowflake folder by Darice and then lightly sanded it for the green to pop through. 

The snowman is from a sizzix die and the face is stamped with PK485 Snowmany Faces stamp set. I added some rosy cheeks, freckles and then a little glossy accents for a fun look. I also did a little distressing around the edges with Tim Holtz peeled paint. The hat is cut at 

3 1/4 from the Christmas Cheer cartridge and the little holly/berries is from my stash. 

I finished by added a little charm from Tim Holtz which I grabbed at craft store when I was on a retreat.

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hello my crafty friends! 

Happy Christmas Eve!! 

Today I have a cute little project to share with you that I made for Arya to give her Teachers at daycare. They are perfect for a quick little gift that you may need in a hurry...they went together rather quickly and turned out pretty cute!

I started with the candles that I picked up at the store. I stamped these adorable snowmen on tissue paper. After stamping them, I colored it with copics and fussy cut around them. I use PK-154 Happy Dieting Snow People stamp set for the jolly snowmen.

I then place them on the candle and laid a piece of wax paper over the image and heat set it. I then peeled back the wax paper and viola...done! I repeated the same application for the sentiment.  I packaged them up and added a coordinating tag.

The tag is My Creative Time's Just Tags metal die. I stamped the sentiment with Sweet Stamps 8028 Happy Winter and 8025 Christmas Greetings. The tree and snowflakes are metal dies from the Sweet Stamps store that were cut and adhered in place. I finished by tying on a pretty bow using scarlet red crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot.

Wishing you ALL a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion

Hi Everyone!
How are all my bloggy friends doing? Are you ready for Christmas? Ofta, I stopped at the store to grab a few groceries this afternoon.....yikes, it's crazy out there, lol!
I seriously still can't believe how fast Christmas came this year. For me, this whole year feels like it flew by! I am hoping next year slows down a bit and there is a little more time to relax~

Today I have quick Christmas card to share with you:
 For this card, I used SU lost lagoon card stock and followed with a white base layer.  The next layer is embossed with Tim Holtz Alterations wood grain folder for some dimension. 

 The deer is Tim Holtz Prancing Deer die~I love this die!
I tied on a little bell with natural Jute String and then tied a bow. I then added foam dots and adhered it in place. Isn't it pretty?

The little snowflakes were added along with some fun sequins to the center. 

I finished with a pretty chevron bow and a small charm from SU which again was tied on with natural Jute String. The sentiment is stamped with My Craft Spot's Joy Filled Christmas stamp set.

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!

Hello Everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend and were able to finish up on getting things ready for the holidays!! We are all set and looking forward to a wonderful week :)

I am here today to share another Guest Designer project for Sweet Stamps. This will be my last post for Sweet Stamps~ I have had such a wonderful time designing with their stamps and dies! Thanks again for having me for the month of December! It was a blast!

This weeks challenge is: Anything but a Card
I hope you come join in the fun!

Here is my project:

 I made some darling little gift boxes for little Arya to give these 2 girls that work at the local coffee shop that we stop at occasionally.  I picked up this adorable curvy box cut file from over at 

 My Craft Spot and cut them on my Cameo.

The pattern papers are from Heidi Swapp 12 x 12 paper pack collection. I added a piece of acetate behind the window so I could fill it with some yummy candy.  After cutting and putting them together, I added a sweet label that I cut at 1" from the Art Philosophy cartridge.  I used the 8028 Happy Winter sentiment and finished by tying on a pretty bow with ribbon from SU.

The pretty snowflake is Sweet Stamps 2019 Ice Crystal Snowflake  metal die. I just love the intricate cut~so pretty delicate. I added some sparkle with Sparkling Ice glitter. I filled them with Andes Mint Chocolates :)

Gingerbread Diaper Cake

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion

Hello Everyone and Happy Wednesday! 

I am happy to say I will be enjoying a day off from work to spend some time with my coffee buddies. I also plan to do some holiday baking and finish up some gift wrapping. I may even have time to sneak in my craft room!
I have a fun little project to share with you today:) 

I was asked to make a diaper cake for my daughters friend who is expecting a little baby girl in January. Her family was throwing a baby shower and wanted a diaper cake made to go along with a winter/gingerbread theme. They planned to have a chocolate bar with hot cocoa, peppermints, candy canes and gingerbread cookies. The diaper cake was going to be the centerpiece for the chocolate bar. Cute idea, ha? 

* *I also wanted to play in some of the current challenges so I thought I would keep that in mind when creating this:
I started with a box of Pamper Diapers and created 3 layers for the cake. There are several you tube videos for diaper cakes which is where I got the directions. You do need 2 bottles for the center and any type of baby supplies/toys for the outside. I used baby lotion, baby wash and baby shampoo and filled in with candy canes.  I decorated the cake levels with brown card stock and then some pretty ribbon from Michael's.

The house is a cut file from the Silhouette Store #70313 Miss Kate Cuttables and cut on my Cameo. I added a little doodling, sparkling ice glitter and a little Wink of Stella to the pieces. The gingerbread girls are also a cut file # 51720 from Miss Kate Cuttables and adhered in place.~I believe I made 13.  I forgot to take photo of the back but I did a big bow on each level with the same peppermint candy ribbon~turned out super cute :)

The gingerbread topper is holding a banner that was created with My Craft Spot's Ribbon Banners metal die and the sentiment is stamped with My Creative Time's Gift Card Sentiments. 

I finished by sprinkling some twinkling snow for a fun look :) 

I am entering this in the following challenges: 

1.) Love Rubberstamps Challenge #131 Holiday Blitz~Anything Goes

It's Monday and that means another GD project to share with you for Sweet Stamps weekly challenge. Hope you come join in :)  

This week the challenge is: Non Traditional Christmas Colors

I have created a fun wine bottle topper: I used some colors I would not typically use together but I really like the way it turned out. I can't wait to make more! 

The wine bottle topper was a file I picked up at the Silhouette Store, Design # 22157. The back panel is pattern paper from SU which was distress with the Zutter DIA and adhered in place. I also added a fun scallop edge around the opening by using a SU punch to give it more flair.

I embossed the front pocket with the snowflake folder, added a small panel across the from and and adhered this gorgeous deer on the front.  The beautiful deer is Sweet Stamps sc029 Classy Deer metal die and the sentiment is stamped with 8028 Happy Winter stamp set.

I added a snowflake using the 2019 Ice Crystal Snowflake metal die.  Another snowflake layer was added using a Martha Stewart punch and the gem is from Recollections. To finish my project, I tied on a pretty bow and filled the pocket with yummy Ghiradelli chocolates. Great to go along with a great bottle of wine, right?

The snowflake border is gorgeous..picture does not do justice! I used the Memory Box Frostyville border die and then glittered it with Sparkling Ice......so pretty and sparkly!!

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
 I have been a busy, busy with getting things ready for Christmas as most of you are. I have just a few little things left to do and then I can focus on baking. I don't know if you know, but baking is another one of my passions, especially holiday baking! I love to make up goody trays for work, neighbors, Christmas parties, etc! How about you, do you do a lot of baking for Christmas?

Today is one of my Guest Design days over at Sweet Stamps and I have a couple fun projects to share with you for their weekly challenge.

For my project, I decided to make a few gift card holders~they are sure to come in handy soon with the Holidays right around the corner, right?

I found this gift card holder at the Silhouette Store, Design #50748 and cut it on my cameo. I used SU cherry cobbler and crumb cake card stock. I embossed the holder with the snowflake folder from Darice and added fun little sparkly gems from Recollections. The snowflake border is created using the EK snowflake border punch and glittered with Sparkling Ice glitter.

The tree also has a sparkly edge which again, I used Sparkling Ice glitter. I stamped the sentiment with  8025 Christmas Greetings stamp set from Sweet Stamps.  I finished by tying on some pretty gingham ribbon, jute and a pretty embellishment from my stash.

I also made a pretty sparkly Christmas card~
I started with SU Squares framelits die for the base of my card. The next layers are cut and distressed with the zutter DIA. The pattern papers is from Recollections~All is Calm collection.

 I used the IME026 Snow Covered Tree metal die for the tree's. I inked around the edges with walnut stain,  glittered the edges using the Wink of Stella pen for a sparkly effect and with foam dots, put them place. Pretty, ha?

The scallop is from a SU punch which layered a 1" circle from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I then topped it off with this pretty 2019 Ice Crystal Snowflake metal die and glittered it with Sparkling Ice for a nice sparkle.

The tag is stamped with the 8028 Happy Winter sentiment which I fussy cut around it, added some doodling and then adhered down. I finished my card by tying on a pretty satin double bow, jute string and little red bell.
