Brightly Gleaming Ornaments

I think this is my favorite creation for the holidays!  So far, anyway!

We made this card in Stamp Club last month, using the Christmas Gleaming Bundle, Brightly Gleaming DSP, and the Peaceful Boughs stamp set.

On this card, we stamped the bough on the Very Vanilla panel first, then die cut the center of the panel using the Stitched Rectangles Dies.  We then embossed the outside part of the panel using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

Ornament tops were stamped in StazOn on Copper Foil, then punched and trimmed and adhered to ornaments punched from the Brightly Gleaming DSP. (I used the sharp end of the Take Your Pick tool to add a hole to the top of the ornaments.

We adhered the embossed Very Vanilla panel directly to the card base, adhered the Pretty Peacock strip of cardstock, then used dimensionals to adhere the die cut rectangle and the ornaments.

Mini Curvy Keepsakes Treat

If you’re looking for a quick and easy treat for friends, classmates, or co-workers, the Mini Curvy Keepsakes bundle is just what you need!

It’s super quick and easy, goes together with NO adhesive, and fits perfectly on our 6”x6” DSP.  It doesn’t get much easier than that!  And, it comes in a bundle so you can save 10% on the stamp set and dies.

A mini chocolate will fit perfectly in these little boxes.

Q-tip Technique with Winter Woods

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to put colorful foliage on a tree, this is it!  The card on the left is done with Q-tips.  Stamp the tree in Early Espresso.  Then just press the swab on your ink pad and then on your cardstock, wherever you want leaves.

Start with the lightest color (I used Crushed Curry), then the medium color (Pumpkin Pie) and finally your darkest color (Cajun Craze).  I used a sponge to swipe some Cajun Craze across the bottom so the trees wouldn’t be “floating in air”.

I wanted to make this card at my library class, but was afraid it would take too long with swabs, so I decided to try it with daubers.  The card on the right is the one we made.

It’s a very simple technique, and I hope you’ll give it a try.

Beautiful Friendship Sympathy

Although I love to make cards, making a Sympathy card is always hard.  When I do have to make one, I spend the time thinking about the recipient and praying that God will comfort them.

This card was made for my good friend, Jessica, who recently lost her husband.  It was an unexpected loss, and my heart goes out to her.

Inside:

No one is more supportive than a group of stampers, and this card was from all of us.

The ribbon was from a previous catalog and is no longer available.

Perfectly Plaid Note Card

One of my favorite bundles in the Holiday Catalog is Perfectly Plaid.  Why?  Because I LOVE punches.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my dies, but punches are just so easy and quick to use!

I made this card as a demonstration at a recent party.  One of the Make-n-Takes for the party was a pumpkin card, using the same design.  If you missed it, you can take a look here.

This is one of my GOTO designs when I need a card in a hurry.  It works with any stamp set!  And, using the note cards and envelopes (which are pre-cut and scored) help you create a great card even faster!  This would make a cute Christmas card and you could whip out a bunch of these in no time!

Gather Together

With November just around the corner, I think more often about all the things I’m thankful for.  I am SO BLESSED to have a good husband and the 3 Fs (family, friends, and furbabies).

In Steve’s family, the holiday get togethers are “farmed out”, and Thanksgiving is “our” holiday.  We can have 25-30 people over, and we gather in my studio, which means I have to collect my craft supplies and store them in another area to make room for everyone to eat together.  It’s a lot of work, but my craft studio is fairly large, so it’s the only time of the year that we can all actually sit down in the same room.

Fall is my favorite season.  I love the cooler weather and the beautiful colors.  Although they aren’t traditional, I really like the colors in the Come To Gather Suite in the Holiday Catalog.  We made this card at October Stamp Club.

Harvest Hello Note Cards

I love having Stampin’ Up! Parties!  And some of my friends (like LaAnna), have discovered the secret to getting a LOT of FREE stuff!

LaAnna is a member of my Stamp Club, so when it’s her month as host, she will have at least a $150 party (and usually more) as part of Club.  If she has an outside party, and invites her friends and neighbors, any orders are added to her club orders, so she earns extra FREE stuff.

This option is available to all of my club members, but not many take advantage of it.  And, they can have the party in my studio, so they don’t have to do anything except bring snacks!

At LaAnna’s outside party, we had two Make-n-Takes.  The first one was the treat box from September’s Paper Pumpkin kit.  The second was this cute little note card.

I like using the note cards for Make-n-Takes because they are already pre-cut and scored, and come with an envelope.

Here’s the fixin’s:
