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.

Here’s the fixin’s:

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!

Color Your Season Christmas

In this month’s Stamp Club, we used this limited edition bundle to make two different cards, a Thank You and a Christmas Card.

On this card, we adhered the outside piece directly to the card and popped up the label in the center. On the Thank you card, we did the opposite. If you missed the Thank You card, you can find it here.

It’s pretty hard to see, but we used the new Tufted TIEF on the background. And, can you see that the holly berries are shiny? That’s so easy to do by just adding some fine tip glue on top of them. But, be sure to let that dry completely.

Stamps: Blended Seasons

Cardstock: Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Old Olive

Paper: Under The Mistletoe DSP

Dies: Stitched Seasons

Other: Tufted Dynamic TIEF, Aquapainter, Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, 1/8” real red ribbon, mini gold sequins.

If you’d like this bundle, order quickly, as it’s only available for a few more days and supplies are limited! If you’d like more information on this bundle, you can find it here.

Wise Men from Afar

Do you know what today is? It’s Three Kings Day. I wasn’t aware of that holiday until we lived in Germany. When we lived there, people left their Christmas decorations up until January 6th.

This is a gift I gave to my Stamp Club members. It’s a small bar of Frankincense and Myrrh soap packaged in a cello bag. It smells amazing! The soap is made by a friend of mine in Bardstown, KY. You can find her website here. She has the most adorable little goats and makes her products using goat’s milk. If you contact her, please let her know that I sent you her way.

Stamps: Wise Men from Afar

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Gold Glimmer

Ink: Night of Navy

Punches: Scallop Tag Topper, Small Star (retired)

Other: Night of Navy Seam Binding (retired), 3×6 gusseted cello bags

Thanks for taking the time to visit today!

Add A Little Glitz

This was a last minute gift card holder from December Stamp Club. I got the idea right out of the Holiday Catalog. It’s so quick and easy that you could make a bunch of these in no time flat!

I did add a little line of glue to seal the bottom so the gift card wouldn’t slide right out. And again, we colored the rhinestones red with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend pen.

Stamps: Add a Little Glitz

Cardstock: Crumb Cake

Ink: Real Red, Old Olive

Punch: Scallop Tag Topper

Other: Quilted Christmas 1/4” Ribbon

This would be a cute idea for any time you need a gift card holder in a hurry!

I hope your holidays sparkled!

Tags & Trimmings Stocking

Please bear with me, as I continue to catch up on sharing projects from the last two months.

The last project from November Stamp Club was a Christmas Stocking gift card holder. This die set has a LOT of dies to make and decorate stockings, but you can also make regular pillow boxes for any occasion. The stocking would also be super cute done in pink or blue for a baby gift. I’ve even seen it turned upside down with added antlers to make a reindeer! Some people are just so clever. And, wouldn’t several of these make a cute banner, either for Christmas or to welcome a new baby?
