Our mambiCHIPS are filled with so many great chipboard embellishments...the possibilities are endless. These Christmas characters are some of my favorites. I wanted to turn them into ornaments.
No problem!
1. Punch a small hole in the top of each piece.
2. Add metal ornament hanger.
3. Tie a bow around the hanger.
That's it. Super simple. Super cute.
These would also be great tied around wrapped gifts or attached to a plate of homebaked goodies.
I just fell in love with the creativity and simplicity of this card. It was made by one of our Facebook fans, Amanda Hansen Colman, and shared on our page this morning! She used mambiCHIPS, our chipboard embellishments, to create the word JOY on this card! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE! Thanks for sharing Amanda!!
Looking for a quick way to personalize a hostess gift? How about adding some rhinestone stickers and a easy bow to a bottle of wine. No need for a bag or tag....just stick and be on your way to join in the festivites!
When I hosted a baby shower for my soon-to-be-grandson and his lovely mommy, I knew what I wanted to do....LOTS & LOTS of banner garland!!! Small and large ones...all in the shower colors. The setting was already so beautiful. This simple touch was all we really needed.
I strung them in front of the house to help guests find the party!
The process was simple. I created a triangular template and traced it on the back of a piece of paper and then stacked several pieces together to cut on a heavy duty trimmer. Punch some holes at the top and then string! Don't worry about perfection...your guests won't notice!
On Sunday, September 25th, Team mambi participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Orange County, California. We are committed to "living creatively for the cause" and want to give back wherever we can. It was a great day and a worthy cause. Thank you to all of Team mambi for taking time out of your weekend to help support the fight against breast cancer!
The Halloween mantle is coming along spookily! I have a few more finishing touches to add before I'm ready to declare it finished. So far, I'm loving it!
My second phase went a little something like this...
1. Find a funky mirror that I could paint glossy black!
This one would do just fine!
I taped off the mirror part and started spraying away.
Abracadabra!!!!
And because the paint I was using had a matte finish....I topped it off with a glossy coat.
Perfect!
2. Cover wooden letters that spelled BOO with our specialty foil paper.
I used Mod Podge to stick it down and then trimmed the contour with an X-Acto knife.
After the glue dried, I sanded the edges and painted the backs & insides black. I love that you don't have to be too careful with your painting. A little black on the edges and front just seems to fit the occasion.
3. Add more glitz and bling of course!
A few years ago, I covered 3 fake pumpkins with glitter. This year I wanted to give them an equally sparkly friend.
So....I painted another fake pumpkin black and covered it with orange rhinestones.
4. Arrange all decorations on the mantle.
I still want to add a mini banner and spiderwebs and then I'll post the finished project.
Happy Decorating!

No, not really! I'm just starting my mantle decorations for Halloween.
I had so much fun using our new glitter bat wall sticks™!! They are easy to use and won't leave a residue when it's time to take them down. I know that sounds a bit like a commercial but it's true and it's important to me when I'm putting up temporary decorations!!
I'm now in the middle of covering some letters with our Halloween paper to spell out BOO! I'll post more of the progress of the mantle!
live creatively!
