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!

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!

Color Me Christmas Card

Hello!  I'm back with another card, giving you ideas for your Christmas cards.  This card is a case from demonstrator Heather Summers.  I love her work and check her blog often for great ideas, and when I saw this card, I fell in love and had to buy the set.  I love the set so much now that I almost ordered it twice on accident, not knowing that I had actually already ordered it.  Funny, considering how I once told myself it was really ugly and I was never going to buy it!
I love this card, because it's really inexpensive to duplicate for mass quantities, it's simple enough to to duplicate for mass quantities, and it's cute.  If you already have the stamp set, for 13.45 plus tax and shipping. (the cost of a pack of Whisper White cardstock and a package of washi tape), you can make about 75 cards.  With the stamp set, it would be 34.40 for wood mount, and 29.40 for clear mount.

Such a cute and simple card that makes me happy!  Supplies I used to make this card:  Color Me Christmas Stamp set (wood #131742 $20.95  clear #131745 $15.95), Season of Style Designer Washi Tape #132155 $4.95, one pack of Whisper White Cardstock #100730 $8.50 for 40 sheets, and Stampin' Write Markers in Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Blush Blossom (Retired) and Real Red (For Santa's Candy Cane).  I popped up my santa and stocking with some Stampin' Dimensionals, but you don't have to if you don't want to. I just felt like the card could use a little dimension since it's pretty flat and really simple.  Popping up your cut out image just makes it a little more interesting.  The greeting is an old stamp from a Christmas greeting stamp set by Stampin' Up!, but you could use any Christmas greeting stamp you have on hand at home.  This card truly is that simple! I hope I've encouraged you to try making your Christmas cards this year.  Enjoy and I'll see you back here tomorrow!
