p.s. - I know we have missed a few of the weeks of Christmas, but I will try to catch up with those projects soon. Life threw us a curve ball and my husband's Mom had a really bad fall that caused a serious closed head injury that the doctors are closely monitoring. So - crafting and blogging have been placed on the "back burner" for a while. All of your prayers have been greatly appreciated. Thank you for understanding.

Christmas Snowflake

I have been playing with the new Snow Flurry die and am really impressed.  Stampin' Up! really stepped it up with this elegant version of the snowflake die that creates 3 different snowflakes so that you can layer it to make it just "over the top" pretty.   Doesn't the NEW Champagne glimmer paper just make this card sparkle?!?!   

We will be making this card in one of our upcoming classes since so many have been making comments about it when they see it on my sample table. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Beautiful Season (sentiment)

Paper:  Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Champagne Glimmer Paper

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler

Extras: Snow Flurry die, Big Shot, 1" circle punch, Star punch (from Merry Minis punch pack), Tasteful Trim Bigz die, dimensionals, sticky strip, Snail adhesive

Thanks for stopping by.  

Happy Stamping!

Hope you enjoyed it too.

Cards are Simple to Make

We had a card class in July where we made several simple, but elegant cards to show that "sometimes less is more" and you can make really nice cards with a few simple steps. 

  

Regular class attendees Judy, Christine, Susan and Kristine take a break to show off some of their hard work.  Austin joined us for the day and made ALL 6 cards - he didn't give up on us and we were so proud of his dedication to making some cards to have ready to give his teacher's during the school year.  

Austin shows off one of his favorite cards he made as well as those dimples that are "just too cute!"   I love it when he smiles!  Can't wait to have him join us for class again.  

Abby Gale even stayed close to keep an eye on our efforts tonight.  She was being a good girl and laying in her bed watching over us. 

These were a couple of the other cards we made that night.  Simple, but oh so nice!

Thanks for stopping by & be sure to check back for other projects we have done and will be doing in card classes.  You too can make wonderful card creations - just ask me how.

Happy Stamping!
Linda

 

Pick & Choose - Single Stamps!

Many have asked to purchase some SINGLE sentiment stamps and Stampin' Up! is answering "yes we do!" (at least for a limited time - til January 2, 2013).

 

Stampin' Up! is now offering single stamps available to you from three select stamp sets: Word Play (page 135), Perfectly Penned (page 132), and Seasonal Sayings (Holiday Catalog, page 34). Now you can choose just the sayings you want from these three stamp sets, without having to buy the entire set! Here's the scoop:

 

• You can find the stamp item numbers & prices for each on the flyers  below, plus they tell you which size clear block they will fit on.

• These stamps are available on any order type, whether it is online, at a card class or workshop.

 

 

• These won't be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags (as in picture above). If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only and runs through January 2nd, 2013.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, so you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers.
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy! These make great, easy to mail gifts, too!

Let me know if you would like to order some of these single stamps for yourself (and friends/family) now. 

Happy Stamping!
Linda

Showcasing Some Christmas in July Projects

In an effort to try to do some "catch up" blogging, so I will be showing of the things we have made over the summer months. 

We had our annual Christmas in July class to get a jump start on our Christmas projects.  The hit of the class was our center step card made to look like a door to Welcome Christmas into your heart (sentiment retired). 

We had previously made the center step card at one of our Funky Folds classes and had the chance to add a Christmas flare to it.

Paper: Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, and Cherry Cobbler 

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke

Extras: Cherry Cobbler marker, Spritzer, Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon, snail, dimensionals
 

And last we made one of the cards I had been wanting to make for a while.  This was in last years catalog and I kept saying I was going to make it - SO - we FINALLY made it!   And everyone really liked it.

Stamps: Bells & Boughs, Four the Holidays (retired)
Paper: Cherry Cobbler and VeryVanilla
Ink: Pear Pizazz and Cherry Cobbler
Extras:  Corner Rounder, Rhinestones and Pear Pizazz gathered ribbon (retired), Top Note Die, Dimensionals, Snail, Sticky Strip
