Social Stamping - Merry and Bright

 

Hi and welcome to the December Social Stamping blog hop hosted by the blog hostess with the mostess, Kelly Kent. Our theme this month is Merry and Bright. Make sure you hop around to each blog and if you get lost you get back on track at the main post here. 

So .... are you feeling Merry and Bright .... or stressed and dull? For me it is the latter. Just that time of year I think. Too much to do and not enough hours to get it done. But I am not so much of a misery guts that I can't get in the spirit, especially for the things I will be giving people. Years and years ago when I was teaching I made some German Christmas Bells with students. They are really pretty and not that hard to make once you get on a roll. So check out my Shaded Spruce Christmas Bell.

I made them from memory but all you have to do to make them is google 'German Christmas Bells' and you will find videos and blog posts to show you how. You need to start with a square of paper. Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper is the perfect weight. You need something in between card stock and paper. I have used a piece from the Classic Christmas DSP pack. It is 6" and already cut for you. Winning! The ribbon is from the Wonder of the Season ribbon combo pack. 

For this version I have used the Gilded Autumn DSP and Basket Weave and Metallic ribbon combo pack. 

They look rather pretty hanging on my Candelabra Cactus. They may just stay there ... and multiply!

I have a few shots of them so you can see them from different angles. The tags are die cut using the Little Treat Boxes dies and I have stamped them with stamps from the Little Treats and Itty Bitty Christmas stamp sets. 

I am quite well practiced at making these. I have 70 to make for a custom order! I am part way there and have to make some each day over the next week to meet my deadline. They do look pretty though! I have used the DSP from the Boho Medley Product Medley Refill. So .... I had better get back to them so I am on track to finish!

Next up you are off to visit Julia Quinn. I am she will have something Merry and Bright to inspire you.
