 WOW!
Look at these adorable snowmen!
They are cute & just make me smile!
These snowmen are from the 'Snowbody Better' stamp set

A Wood Chip Christmas Ornament using Peaceful Cabins

OH my gosh....I'm so excited about this........
Check out this adorable Christmas ornament that I made!
This is a totally Susie project & I just LOVE it!
 
This is one of the many holiday projects everyone attending my
upcoming Holiday Extravaganza will be making at my class.

In the next few weeks I'll be posting the different projects that I designed for
my Annual Holiday Extravaganza class.
So be sure you check back often so you can see everything!
This is approximately a 3 1/2" wood chip that I stamped onto.

I used the 'Peaceful Cabins' stamp set, along with the tree from 
the 'Evergreen Elegance' stamp set.  And the words are from 
the 'Peaceful Deer' stamp set!
 
Notice the glitter!
I just thought it had to have some SNOW on it.
I used the RETIRED Ice Stampin' Glitter from last years Holiday Catalog
& applied it with my Multipurpose Glue.

I used these these Stampin' Up! Classic Ink Pad colors of inks:  
Soft Suede, Old Olive & Cherry Cobbler.

I drew the smoky coming from the chimney with my Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker.
 
IMPORTANT- BE SURE YOU USE:
Classic Ink Pads & Stampin' Write Markers on this soft wood, as they didn't bled & worked great!
 
DO NOT USE Stampin' Blends or Memento ink on this exact soft wood chip.
I tried drawing the chimney smoke using my Soft Suede Stampin' Blend, 
but it bled really badly- so I recommend that if you stamp onto a wood slice like 
this that you test it on a sample before you ruin your entire project,  
have to throw it away & have to start all over with another wood slice. 
So what do you think?
I'd love for you to leave me a comment about it.
 
NOTE:  To get the 2 colors of green on the trees,
I stamped the tree on the edge first full strength.
I then reinked the tree, stamped it off onto my grid paper
& then stamped it onto the wood chip with it being slightly onto the edge of the dark tree. 
 
stamp sets:  'Peaceful Cabin'; 'Evergreen Elegance' & 'Peaceful Deer'
inks:  Soft Suede; Old Olive & Cherry Cobbler
Stampin' Write Marker:  Soft Suede
other:  Multipurpose Glue
retired:  Ice Stampin' Glitter

TO REMOVE the Stampin' Blend chimney smoke that bled & I didn't like, 
I tried to remove it.
How did I do that?  
 I did spray 91% alcohol onto my wood chip- over the Stampin' Blend smoky lines, 
rubbed it with my finger & let it dry!
It worked ok on my wood slice, as you can now barely see it-  
but the photos are NOT the wood chip that I sprayed the alcohol onto.
 
I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!
