Ornament Christmas Card

Hello!  Today's card is another one I received from demonstrator Mary Polcin, while I was away at Stampin' Up!'s annual convention this past summer.  Interested in attending convention next year?  Contact me to learn how you can go.  It's worth it and I loved every minute of it last year!  I love this card and thought it was cute because it's a little smaller than your traditional card.  I love non-traditional sized cards.  This card has a lot of elements that make the card stand out.  The background is embossed with the stylish stripes embossing folder, it has some of the Season of Style Washi Tape added to it, it uses the Christmas Collectibles stamp set and matching punch all from the Holiday Catalog by Stampin' Up!, and then it also uses the adorning accents edgelits to make the scallop shape on the bottom, and the ovals collection framelits to make all three of the ovals on the card.  Layering objects of the same shape is a cinch with the framelits by Stampin' Up!  I love them!  Little embellishments used on the card are bakers' twine and rhinestone jewels.  The ornament and ovals it's placed on are all popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I love how the card base is embossed and then mounted again on the same color.  It looks so nice that way, rather than just embossing the whole card base itself.  Way to step it up for some stunning detail!


The colors on this card are cherry cobbler, old olive, and whisper white.  I hope you've enjoyed today's card.  Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Snowflake Card


Hello!  I hope you're not tired of Christmas cards!  I have one more to show you today.  This card was designed by my friend Carrie for our demonstrator meeting last month, but when I made my card, I changed it up slightly.  I love this card and the color scheme.  It's not one I would have ever thought of, but I like it!  The card was easy to make too!  I just put two strips of paper on the top and bottom part of the card, using none other than my favorite paper, Season of Style Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up, wrapped some costal cabana ribbon around the top part of the card, and stamped a snowflake with the Festive Flurry Stamp set, cut it out with the matching framelits, added a rhinestone jewel to the center, popped it on my card with some Stampin' Dimensionals, and then added my greeting, and I was done!  This would be a great card to make if you're still rushing to get those last few cards on your list made like me!  It was quick and easy, and it doesn't take a lot of supplies!

By the way, the snowflake is stamped in Costal Cabana, but the greeting is stamped in Island Indigo.  I thought it would stand out a little more if the greeting was darker than the snowflake and ribbon.  :)  Hope you enjoyed today's card.  Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Merry Little Christmas Card

Hello!  Today's card is one I received while at Stampin' Up!'s Annual Convention over the summer.  It was made by demonstrator Julee Hicks. I love this stamp set, Merry Little Christmas!  And with the deco labels framelits and the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack, this card was a piece of cake to make!


The ribbon is 3/8'' stitched satin ribbon in Midnight Muse.  I hope you've enjoyed today's card.  Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Winter Frost Snowflake Card

Hello!  I'm not feeling very well today, so when I say this post will be short, I really mean it!

This card was designed by my friend Carrie Nelson for us at our demonstrator meeting last month.  The card uses the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper, the 1/8'' silver ribbon and the Festive Flurry Stamp set and matching framelits from Stampin' Up!'s holiday catalog.  That's about it for the card.



This second card was made by my friend Jamie Garrett.  She also used the Winter Frost DSP, the Festive Flurry Stamp set and framelits, stretchy ribbon in Costal Cabana, and the Frosted Finishes Embellishments from the holiday catalog.
Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll be back tomorrow!  I still have quite a few things to share before Christmas!

Santa Card

Hello!  I'm going to be quick today.  Time's running out and my to do list is still long!!!
This is a card that was designed by my friend Mayra for our demonstrator meeting a few weeks ago.  I love going to make cards when they've already been prepped for me.  Mayra's great at doing that.  I'm lucky to be able to stamp with her often, and she always has things prepped for me.   She's pretty awesome.  This card was made with the Color Me Christmas stamp set, the Real Red Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit, the Stampin' Chalk Marker, Silver Glimmer Paper, and the Season of Style Washi Tape by Stampin' Up!   The colors used were Crumb Cake, Island Indigo and Cherry Cobbler.

I hope this card gives you some inspiration for those last minute cards on your list.  I still have 20 cards to make!  See why I'm freaking out??  Agh!!!!  Now if I forget to blog for a day or two, you'll know why…... Thanks for stopping by today and I'll see you tomorrow!

Merry Christmas Punch Card

Hello!  Today's card is a fun card to share because I am always talking about how I save everything, and I even save small scraps of card stock for things like punches.  This card was made by using all my left over real red and old olive scraps with punches from the itty bitty punch pack by Stampin' Up!  I made this card last year and fell in love with it because it was so simple and inexpensive to make, and I had a lot of card stock scraps left over again this year, so I made it again.  My card last year varied slightly in that I used a piece of soft suede card stock for the card base, but I couldn't remember what color I had used last year when I went to make this card again this year, so I made it with old olive.  I'll take a picture of last year's card later on this week and show you that one too.  But until then, here's the card:


The greeting is a stamp from the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  If you haven't signed up for Paper Pumpkin, you really should! It's only $19.95 per month, and it's so fun to get a box in the mail with everything you need to make cards or a little craft.  I love it!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by today, and I'll be back tomorrow!  I still have quite a few more Christmas projects to share with you!  After Christmas I'll start showing stuff from Stampin' Up!'s occasions catalog that will start on January 2.  I'm excited to show some of those projects. I love tons of stuff from the new catalog!  (But I can't show you yet! We haven't had Christmas yet!)  I'll see you tomorrow!

Merry And Bright Christmas Card

Hello!  I am excited to share today's card with you!  I think this will be my Christmas card for this year. I thought this card up one night while putting my son to sleep and I just LOVE it! I don't know about you, but it just reminds me of Christmas!  I love the traditional red and green colors for Christmas.  I can't do pink and blue for christmas.  It's just not me.  I'm a red and green (or white and blue for snowflakes) kinda girl.  This card was made with the Festive Flurry stamp set and coordinating framelits dies, and the endless wishes photopolymer stamp set.  The colors I used are real red and gum ball green.  I added two rhinestone jewels for some extra embellishment, and I cut the slits in the greeting for the ribbon with my paper trimmer, but you could use an exacto knife or hobby blade.  Either way you do it, this card was pretty easy!

Thanks for stopping by today.   I'll see you tomorrow!

Greeting Card Kids Christmas Card

Hello!  Today I want to share some mini Christmas Cards I made.  I love little cards.  Miniature things are so fun in my opinion!  These little cards are made with a small strip of paper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper and a retired set called Greeting Card Kids.  I love old vintage holiday stuff like cards and decorations, so when I saw this set, it reminded me of vintage holiday stuff and knew I had to get it.  I just love it.  I stamped the Christmas girl on Whisper White card stock, colored her in with my Stampin' Write Markers, cut the top like a tag, mounted it on a piece of Baked Brown Sugar card stock, and then stapled a piece of Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon to the top of the tag and popped it on my mini card.  Pretty quick and easy!

                        Gumball Green Card
I hope this inspires you to make some simple cards for your friends and family this year.  Thanks for stopping by today!  I'll see you tomorrow!  (I might be showing off a banner I made for my husband's birthday that was today, so be sure to check back!)

And here's the card I wanted to share for today.  It's another version of the hot cocoa card.  I love to make this card every year, because when it's Christmas and it's cold, I usually think hot chocolate and wanting to get warm.  What better way to spread some holiday cheer than to give some hot cocoa?  It's a very easy card to make, as long as you have brown paper bags at home.  


I tied the whole thing off with ribbon to keep the cocoa packet inside, and it just makes the card even more fun!  Hope this gives you some ideas for your Christmas cards and goodies this year!  See you tomorrow!

Be Merry Christmas Card

Hello!  Sorry I've been absent for a few days, but I've been very busy!  I wanted to share just one of the cards that I made while I was away.  I have lots more to share with you over the next few weeks.  I'm really excited about all of the things I've made since my last post on Thursday. (And I have TONS of cute stuff to share.  The only thing keeping me from showing it all right now is time.  So you'll just have to check back everyday to see it all!  :)  )  Here's a card I made at a meeting this weekend hosted by my friend and upline Mayra.  Thanks for the beautiful card Mayra!  This card uses the single stamp "Be Merry", which happens to be on sale right now during Stampin' Up!'s annual holiday sale.  I've posted all the details about that sale below, so scroll down to see what's on sale.  You won't want to miss out, I guarantee it!
We embossed the stamp on Cherry Cobbler card stock using the versa mark stamp pad, white embossing powder, and the heat tool from Stampin' Up!  I think it looks even better than stamping it in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White card stock.  The best part about the stamp is that it's a tag, making it very versatile.  You can't tell it's a tag on this card, because we covered the To:  From: part with a small strip of the Season of Style Designer Series Paper.  Clever!  Then we mounted it on top of another piece of dsp from the Season of Style pack and a strip of the burlap ribbon and a small piece of scallop border punched out in gum ball green.  Cute!  I love that the stamp can be used for cards and tags!  It's on my list for my next order, that's for sure!!!!  

Now, here's the info on the Holiday sale:

I'm excited for all the great deals this year. Lots of great stuff!  Order through December 2nd to get the discounts, and when you shop with me, use hostess code UEEJ6PPB.    Click here to shop in my online store.
