A Very Merry Christmas Polar Bear Style!

Here is a very simple card I made recently with the Polor Party Stamp set. It is very simple, but I like it that way! Enjoy!

Wonderful Winterland Friend Card

I just love this image from the new Wonderful Winterland stamp set. It makes me feel good inside and I think it would make a fabulous card or tag to send to a friend with a package of hot cocoa mix or a gift card to a coffee house! Wonderful Winterland includes 6 fabulous stamps which would be good for scrapbooking kid's winter pages and for making beautiful greeting cards. Enjoy!

Another Owl Occasions Christmas Card

Another version of the Owl Occasions Christmas card. The red glitter paper really makes it pop. Enjoy!

Owl Occasions Merry Christmas

Here is a Christmas card made with the new Owl Occasion stamp set. Enjoy!

Snow Much Fun!!!

Snow Much Fun is one of my absolute favorite new stamp sets from the new idea book and catalog. I love the snowmen and Christmas tree in the stamp set. It is one of my all-time favorites. Here are a couple of swaps I received using this stamp set. The new triple layer doily punch was also used. This doily can also double as a snowflake instead of using it as a doily. Enjoy!

Winter Post Vintage Card

I LOVE this card and I think it was designed by my upline Lisa. It uses the Winter Post stamp set (111780) and the top not Big Shot die. After coloring in the images, simply add the two way glue and sprinkle with dazzling diamonds to get this beautiful glitter look! Enjoy!

Pennant Parade Christmas Card

I love the new Pennant Parade Stamp Set which coordinates with the new Petite Pennants Builder punch. Both can be found in the big catalog. This card also uses the Heard From the Heart stamp set (for the senitment) and the scallop trim border punch. Enjoy!

More Christmas Cards!!!

As I said earlier, I am going to try and post a bunch of Christmas cards. This one uses the new shaker frames and Gift Givers stamp set from the holiday mini. I used the Mica Flakes which helps give the look of snow without all that cold! Enjoy!

Christmas Cards Galore!!!

Hello all! I am have been working diligently lately on getting ready for the craft fair coming up next weekend in Seneca. I am going to try and post several Christmas cards I will have on display there. Some cards are my creations, some are swaps I received from other demos. I feel bad I can't credit everyone's names, but I do appreciate and really enjoy swapping with others. It is so fun to get new ideas. Makes me more creative! All cards use current stamp sets and Stampin' Up products. Hope to post more later! Enjoy!

Reindeer Poop Recipe Card

Here's a really unique, neat way to use that owl punch...use him to make a reindeer! This is a recipe card for Reindeer Poop (homemade). The reindeer is made from all the parts of the owl punch! Love that owl even more now!

Northern Hearts

Northern Hearts is a one of the current hostess sets you can earn for free right now. It is found in the Holiday mini. Besides Christmas, I believe it could be used for an anniversary card also. I used real red ink and garden green ink. I stamped the background using craft white ink. The sentiment is from the Contempo Christmas set. I also used some of our new tinsel to decorate it up. Enjoy!

Holiday Happiness

I am finally back to getting some crafting done. The craft fair and the Thanksgiving holiday kept me busy! This was a fun card to make. I used the new stamp set Holiday Happiness (available in clear mount 120792 and wood mount 120786). I used Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Elegant Eggplant ink. The sentiment was stamped with Cherry Cobbler and then punched out with the new decorative label punch (120907). I used the new Always Artichoke seam binding ribbon (love it!) 121000 and the new Big Designer Buttons Deck the Halls 121002. The corners were punched with the scallop trim border punch (118870). Oh, and the designer series paper is Jolly Holiday (117159). Enjoy!

Stampin' Up Window Sheets

Stampin' Up Window Sheets make for wonderful cards and boxes. This card was created using a medium window sheet. I have used the heavy window sheets to make boxes. Stazon or craft ink can be used to stamp on the sheet so the image will not smear. Recently I made several clear boxes and filled them with tags. I simply tied a bow on the top and they turned out very elegant looking. Snowflakes were stamped in the craft white ink on this card. Enjoy!

Santa Box

Need a reason to get the Big Shot for Christmas this year? How about this adorable Santa box! It is made with the Fancy Favor box die (115965) and the new Tasteful Trim die (120893). The new glimmer brads were used for the eyes and nose. Enjoy!

Got Merry?

Fun holiday gifts and treats are a cinch with the new stamp set Got Treats (available in both clear mount and wood mount) and the new Mini Milk Carton die cut! This little milk carton was so easy to make. I filled it with Hershey's miniatures and added a clip and a bow tied with old olive ribbon. Enjoy! All products are available in the big catalog.

Merry & Bright Christmas Tag

Here's a Christmas tag I copied from the new December issue of Stampin' Success. It was fun to make. Stamp sets used are Bright Christmas and Paisley Prints (both can be found in the Holiday mini and are available in both clear mount and wood mount). I also used the two tags Bigz die, Polka Dot embossing folder and extra large scallop circle punch. Topped it off with a new sparkle brad. All supplies are from Stampin' Up and can be found in the big catalog. Colors used were real red and pear pizzazz. Enjoy!

Northern Flurry Thank You

I made this card as a customer thank you. It's a pretty simple card, but the Northern Flurry embossing folder (120902) really adds to it and makes it look a lot more complicated than it really was. After embossing with cardstock with the embossing folder I just added a few basic rhinestones (119246) to the snowflake centers. The sentiment was used from the Thank You Kindly stamp set (111700) and punched out using our new Decorative Label punch (120907). I added some bashful blue ribbon and I'm done! Enjoy!

More craft fair items...Santa's Suites

My son Kyle stayed home yesterday with a stomach ache. After awhile he felt better and was bored. So, I put him to work! He loves doing crafty things. I showed him a picture of these Santa Suites made online using gum packages. We couldn't find the right size gum packages, so I had purchased several Cracker Jack boxes instead. He took the images and ran with it on his own! These were made using various size punches of circles and squares. He also used The Tearing Edge SU sells. I think he did an awesome job! I will definitely have to give him commission on these!

Christmas Design A House

The new Design A Houses are very eye-catching, easy and economical.

Now Dasher!

Here is a card tally and place setting I made for my mother-in-law. I made 8 of each of these for her to use at an upcoming Christmas card party she is hosting. The card folds and on the inside is a tally chart for the ladies to keep track of their score. The square place setting has a clear window sheet on top and this is what the ladies will set their drinks on. She wanted me to make her something "special" for her Christmas meeting. I used the Dasher stamp set (116816) and added some basic rhinestones to the antlers. I used early espresso and real red cardstock. I also used the Big Shot to cut out the circle and scallop circle. The designer series paper is now retired but I thought it was perfect for this occasion. She was delighted to see these after I finished them. There were pretty simple to make. For me, the hardest part is always deciding actually what to make! Enjoy!
