Handcrafted Gifts!

Most of the time I stamp to make cards but occasionally I make a home decor project.  You can make one too!

I have 2 Handcrafted Christmas Project Classes scheduled for this week on Monday, November 13th and Thursday, November 16th.  Email me (deb@debsimonis.com) if you want to create one of these framed art projects.  I  have room at both classes and start times are flexible.  Choose a start time that fits your schedule as long as it’s between 1:30 PM & 6:00 PM.

Stampin Up Ready for Christmas Merry Patterns framed home decor project - Debra Simonis Stampinup.JPG

For this project I used the Ready for Christmas Bundle and the Merry Patterns stamp set along with the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper Stack.

I started out planning to use a 5″ x 7″ frame but soon found out that I needed a 6″ x 8″ frame.  The first frame overlapped my decor piece so that you could no longer see the Crumb Cake border at all.  Some of  the stamped images were cut off by the frame also so I ended up mounting my 5″ x 7″ Crumb Cake base onto a 6″ x 8″ Whisper White piece.  That worked perfectly!

Framed Art makes a great home decor piece that you can give as a gift!  Make one for yourself and/or one for a friend or co-worker.  They will love a handcrafted gift from the heart.

(This project was inspired by Martha Inchley, a Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team Member.)

I love that Stampin’ Up! offers color coordination so that the ink, cardstock, and embellishment colors match.  It takes the guess work out of trying to match up products.

You can be sure that the Real Red ink will match the Real Red cardstock and Real Red Ribbon perfectly!

Don’t forget to check out the All Inclusive Card & Project Kits    They make wonderful gifts for crafters in your family.  The kits are also a great way to introduce stamping to someone!

We also have Holiday Card & Project Kits. available which can help simplify your life.
