Decked Out for the Holidays and “Magnolia Lane” Christmas Card Tutorial

December 9, 2019 Leave a Comment



Hi Friends. Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice weekend! I invited a few friends over on Saturday for a ‘Crafting Day’. 

Jamie, Amanda and I. Our friend Debbie also joined us, but I didn’t think to snap a pic until after she left! Oops!

Each of us girls worked on what we wanted – Christmas cards, ornaments and gift tags. I put my holiday gift tags, from the October Paper Pumpkin kit, together – oh my goodness, they are beautiful! Now that my tags are finished, I can start wrapping up all my presents!

Yesterday I finished decorating the house and our Christmas tree – it looks so nice. I love turning all the lights on first thing in the morning and enjoying the holiday cosiness with my coffee! 



I have so many special and sentimental decorations (as we all do) and that includes these “Softie Reindeer” that I painted years ago. My parents used to have a ceramic shop and my dad would pour the molds and fire them in the kilns and my (step) mom taught classes. She painted all the eyes on the reindeer for me – she was amazing at those eyes and eyelashes! 


I love seeing all the reindeer sitting on the mantle and on the fireplace. I also have a set of mini Christmas reindeer in my kitchen!


Did you spot my ceramic Santa and the Christmas tree sitting on top of the bookcase? Those trees have gotten sooo popular again! The beautiful quilt was made and given to me by my mom – I just LOVE it. It’s so nice to have all these sentimental pieces around me – the love and memories connected with each one truly fills my heart.

Our new kitten, Forest, checking out the Christmas tree last night. This little kitty is such an angel and so good, that he hasn’t even bothered trying to swat at ornaments or cause any ruckus with any of the decorations. Aren’t we lucky?
Our kitchen, bathroom and recreation room downstairs are all in full holiday attire as well. Nothing beats a festive house to put you in the Christmas spirit. I am going to do a bit of baking soon too, which is something I just LOVE to do for the holidays. I know I’ll make some shortbread cookies, butter tarts and mini mince pies (using my homemade green tomato mincemeat), and maybe a few other goodies. Most of it will be for gift-giving, but I’ll be sure to keep a few treats for us to enjoy a well.

Let’s move onto a card tutorial, shall we?

I joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…
