Time of Giving Bundle

 This is just sooo pretty!!

I just LOVE blue & snowflakes & this card is just awesome!

I used the 'Time of Giving' Bundle on pg. 61 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This is a faux shaker card made with a Clear Envelope (50)-

#102619= $6.00- pg. 136 Annual Catalog.

It is so easy, so fun & so cool!

 

How did I do it?

1. Add DSP to the inside of the clear envelope....putting it down into a corner.
2. Fold over clear envelope on the backside & tape it down tight.  I used Tear & Tape to hold this.
3. Add a little bit of the Subtles Shimmer Sequins.
4. Seal the top shut.
5. Add the snowflake die cut card stock piece over the top of the shaker using the Foam Adhesive Strips.
6. I used the Tear & Tape again to stick the shaker/envelope to the Night of Navy card base.
7. Then decorated the front with a little strip of Night of Navy DSP & some words over the top of it.
8. Don't forget to add a little ribbon!
   

Last week I was blessed to have our Sister-In-Law Sheryl here to stay with us & visit.

We stamped a lot!

And it was so much fun!

She helped me with lots of projects that I working on for my annual team retreat.

This snowflake shaker card is one of the cards we made together.

The layout is a CASE (Copy) from the Holiday Mini Catalog- pg. 61,

but we changed it up some!

 Isn't it just gorgeous!!

I love the way it turned out!

I found this cute glass votive at Dollar Tree

& wrapped some snowflakes around it!

What a fun & simple project this is!

This votive would work great to hold some of your stamping supplies too-

liquid glue, scissors, bone folder, piercing tool, etc....

Don't you think that this is cool!!

I used the snowflake from the Giving Gifts Dies!

Here are the supplies & measurements.

 

How did I do it?

Basic White- 2 1/4 x 9"- die cut the snowflakes 3 different times & then wrap it around the votive.  I attached it using liquid glue & rolled up glue dots.  

Other Stampin' Up! supplies I used- Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Giving Gifts Dies; Basic Rhinetones

NOTE:  This glass votive was a little smaller at the bottom than it was around the top edge.  So I snipped the Basic White Snowflake strip along the bottom edge in 2 spots on the snowflake rectangle seam & it then fit perfectly!!

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!

Beautiful Moments Tile

 I decided to stamp onto this craft tile using 

the 'Beautiful Moments' stamp set!

Oh what fun!

And it was so easy to do!

 Isn't it just sooo pretty!!!!!

How did I do it?

• I stamped using Memento ink onto the craft tile.
• I then colored it using my Stampin' Blends.
• I lightly sealed it using a Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss.

 I have a cork square piece on the back side of this tile.

I WILL NOT use this as a true coaster, as I don't want it to get wet.

I will display it by getting an easel stand for it.

stamp set:  'Beautiful Moments

Stampin' Blends:  Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light Old Olive, Dark Crumb Cake, Ivory

other:  Wink of Stella (added this over the flowers)

 

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Happy Stamping!

Clever Cats

 This is a cute little Post-It-Note cover I made & decorated it

using the 'Clever Cats' stamp set & Cute Halloween DSP!

 

I love the big smile on this pumpkin!

I used Tear & Tape to attach them to the inside of this cover.

This is the pattern I made-

1. Pumpkin Pie- 3 1/4 x 7 3/8" 
2. Score at 3 1/8", 3 1/2" & 3 7/8"
3. Fold on score lines.
4. Then make 2 cuts between the score lines to make the pen holder.
5. Now add Tear & Tape between the score lines on the right side, as shown above.  Be sure you don't add it to the little center piece that will pop out & hold your pen!
   

 

Here are are the measurements & supplies.

This is how I stamped the inside of it.

Be Jolly Santa

 

Ho! Ho! Ho! 

Check out this Holly Jolly Christmas card! 

I used the 'Be Jolly' & 'Holly Jolly Wishes' stamp sets 

on page 29 in the Holiday Catalog.

 

This is one of the cards that everyone made at my 

Holiday Extravaganza class a couple of weekends ago.

This Santa just makes me smile.

I made a pocket on the inside of the card, 

so that you could slide a gift card (or cash) into it!

 

How did I do it?

It is sooo easy......

1. 4x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock
2. Slide the Tailored Tag Punch up from the bottom of the cardstock, as far as it will go.
3. Center it so that it is even on both the left & right sides.
4. And NOW punch.
5. When adding the adhesive- make sure that you only add adhesive to the outside edges.  Do not add adhesive to the center, as you don't want to close up your 'gift card pocket'!

Here are the measurements & supplies.

stamp sets:  

• 'Be Jolly'- Santa
• 'Holly Jolly Wishes' (words)
  

card stock:

• Cherry Cobbler-5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base

Evergreen Elgance

 WOW!

I love this card too!

It is a totally Susie card!

 

It is a fun center gate card, with the front panel off set & layered onto it!

To make the trees a little more mute- I added a piece of Vellum over the top of them!

 

How do you adhere the Vellum to the card stock with the trees on it?

Use Seal or Seal Plus!  

They both work great!  

I just added a little Seal Plus (my favorite adhesive) 

to the 4 corners of the vellum & pressed onto the stamped trees.

And check out the pretty embossed Pines!

They are from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder that is 

on page 155 in the Annual Catalog!

 This is what it looks like when opened up!

 You could change the words on this card & it could be 

a card for almost any occasion!

 

This is one of the cards that everyone joining me for my October monthly 

card classes will be making with me! 

stamp sets: 'Evergreen Elegance' (trees) & 'Holly Jolly Wishes' (words)

card stock:

• Evening Evergreen- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8 & 6 3/8"- this is a center gate fold card base
  
• Soft Succulent- 3 1/4 x 5 1/4"- emboss with the pines in the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder pack
  
• Evening Evergreen-2 1/2 x 4 1/2"
