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!

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!)

Makin' a list, checking it twice...
Hello! Today I want to share a gift made for me by my friend Mayra. She always comes up with cute and clever little gifts, and I love being the recipient of them. She made a little list pad for making notes to Santa, a list of people to send Christmas cards to, things to do before Christmas, shopping list, gift list, or whatever. I think it's really fun for this season. I love the real looking Santa on the front, and the matching greeting that says "He's making a list and checking it twice.... It gets me just as excited for Christmas as when I was a little kid.
She found the note pads at a local office supply store, had her husband cut the pads in half, and then covered it with Cherry Cobbler Designer Series Paper and then put it in a card stock cover. As you can see in the first picture, she even made a matching pen by rolling up some of the Cherry Cobbler Designer Series Paper inside the well of the pen. Just a fun way to turn something ordinary into something special and fun for the holidays! Thanks to Mayra for the fun gift and for the idea! I hope she's inspired you to craft up something fun for some of the people on your list this year! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow!

Christmas Gift Box
Hello! Today I wanted to share a Christmas gift box that I made at a meeting with some other fellow demonstrators. The supplies and design were provided by Patty Bennett. Thanks Patty for the supplies and the cute idea! The box is from the Tag A Bag Gift Boxes (Item #130927 $6.95 for 8) sold by Stampin' Up!, and is dressed up with some Season of Style Washi Tape (#132155 $4.95), Cherry Cobbler 1'' Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon (#132135 $8.95), and a tag cut from the Chalk Talk Framelits (#129380 $24.95), and lined with some of the Season of Style Designer Series Paper (#132340 $10.95).
This is a quick and simple way to wrap a small gift, and if you don't want to spend a whole lot of money on gifts this year, buy these boxes, dress them up, and put a small something in it for friends, teachers, co-workers, neighbors and family, and they'll be impressed with the beautiful packaging! Hope you're staying warm out there. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow!

DIY Christmas Post-It Note Holder
Hello and Happy St. Nicholas Day! I hope you left your shoes out last night and woke up with them filled with an orange and some nuts or little treats. I know we did here! :) I love the Christmas Season!
Today I want to share a project designed by my friend Carrie Nelson. I don't know anyone who doesn't use Post-Its, so this project makes a great gift for just about anyone! The holder is just barely bigger than the Post-Its, so it measures 7'' x 3 1/2''. Carrie cut a slit in the top part to hold a little mini pencil, and then I decorated the top with paper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack, Cherry Cobbler Seam Biding Ribbon, and a stocking from the Color Me Christmas Stamp set. Thanks for the cute idea Carrie!
That's how easy this project was! I hope this gives you some ideas for little gifts this Christmas Season. All of these items can be purchased through my online store here. Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow!

Garden Pail
Hello! Today's project isn't really a stamping project, but it's something I hand crafted for my mother-in-law's birthday this past weekend. I've had the idea in my head for a few weeks, and I can't even remember where I saw the idea, although the picture that I saw is in my head clear as a bell. Weird. Anyway, I used a garden bucket I've had lying around the house for a few years now that I've never used, and I spray painted it with a nice light brown/tan color, and then I cut a vinyl W with my Mom's cricut cutter, potted some flowers I bought at Lowe's on Saturday, and I was done! I gave my mother-in-law this and a nice garden flag and flag stand. She's really into gardening, and I thought these would go great in her garden. :)
Thanks for stopping by today, and come by tomorrow for another Christmas stamping project. I'll see you tomorrow!!

Also, the December Best of 25 stamp set has been released. It's the last one of the series, so if you're trying to complete a punch card to get your free set, this is the last one they are making, but the stamp sets will still be available through March 31, 2014. This month's stamp set is Best of Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration starts January 28th, 2014, and if you've never heard of it, let me tell you how it works: for ever $50 you purchase of Stampin' Up! product, you can choose any single item from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration catalog for free. You can stack the free items if you spend more than $50. For example, if you spent $150, you choose 3 free items from their catalog. It's a great deal, and stamp sets that are offered in the Sale-A-Bration catalog are only available during Sale-A-Bration months and cannot be purchased, you have to earn them with a $50 purchase. With that being said, Stampin' Up! has put together a Best of set featuring poplar Sale-A-Bration stamps from the past that you can purchase in a set. Click here to view this month's stamp set.
And last but not least, here's my project to share for the day:
This is an ornament I've made with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits (#127816 $24.95). These framelits coordinate with the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set (#128048 Wood $34.95, #128051 Clear $25.95) and are still available. You can order them in my online store here. I chose to cut the ornament out in a sheet of Gumball Green Designer Series Paper, but whether you use patterned paper or stamp the image, it looks great. I really love this set and think it's something that you can use year after year on your holiday cards, scrapbooks, projects and art with kids, because you aren't limited to colors and designs with these framelits and coordinating stamps. You can use them year after year and change up patterns and colors to match whatever is trending at the time. I love these! They're also great because there are 9 stamps and 8 framelits, giving you lots of choices for your creations, and these make great gifts when you make them. People are wowed by them and they're not hard to make. An inexpensive gift idea! They can also be used to decorate packages and handmade jar gifts too. They're great for just about anything! A great deal and worth every penny! Later on in the month, I'll show you a larger, more detailed/ornate ornament I made last year with the set. It's absolutely beautiful. I also have a smaller ornament I made last year and will show that too, once I take a picture of it.
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you tomorrow!

Warmest Wishes Cocoa/Coffe Cup
Hello! Today's post is quick and easy. I covered a styrafoam cup that you use for hot cocoa or coffee with the Season of Style Designer Series paper, stamped a greeting on a sheet of Whisper White card stock, then punched out a circle and mounted that on another circle, punched out a scallop circle punch, and mounted all three on a belly band of Crumb Cake on the cup. I popped up the scallop circle with dimensionals and added a little star cut out of the silver glimmer paper for a little extra something. ( I love that glimmer paper! It's on sale right now through December 2. I suggest you stock up! I did!) I hope you like this project. It's easy to recreate. And you can fill the cup with hot cocoa, spiced cider, or whatever warm drink you prefer when it's cold!
Here's a little tip about how to cut the paper to cover the cup: you can't cut a straight strip of paper, because the cup is round, it wouldn't wrap around the cup right. I pulled off the little label around the cup and used that as a template for my Designer Series Paper. Then I used that template to make a smaller template for the card stock belly band. Hope that helps! See you tomorrow!
