Christmas Card Club - June

Here is the club card for June, and while it may look simple, it is gorgeous in person. The white snowflake is double-embossed in white and iridescent ice embossing powder and the layers are popped twice with dimensionals. You can choose either solid red ribbon or striped red grossgrain with your projects. Order your kit now through July 10th, when August's card will be posted. Come and stamp with us on July 5th from 1-3pm. You'll make 5 of these cards, plus envelopes for just $15.

Happy Thanksgiving! A Cute Ornament for You!

I found an ornament made in the newest issue of Papercrafts Magazine, and decided to convert it to Stampin' Up! products and really like the results. I used Riding Hood Red Prints DSP, the Snow Swirled Stamp Set, Punches, and a round coaster. I also used a Christmas greeting from "Best Yet". What do you think?

See the Holiday Extravaganza sale information just below this posting. I also have a link on the top of my blog.

Girly Christmas Card

Here is a girly Christmas Card using Old Olive, Riding Hood Red Prints, and Pink Pirouette. I added a Fire Crystal Brad and Dazzling Diamonds to complete the girly look (along with the little box and scallop edge). Let me know what you think!

Next Ornament

Here is my next ornament...I think I'm finally getting it right. Here are some tips for creating a beautiful stamped ornament:

* Cut out your cardstock for any layered chipboard pieces with your craft knife.
* Paint your chipboard the same color as your background paper.
* Punch one hole in the top center of your ornament, and slide both ends of your ribbon through it, then knot the bow. This is by far the cleanest look.
* Use a glue stick to adhere cardstock to chipboard. Though I personally do not like glue sticks, this is by far the best way to get complete adhesive coverage.

Snow Swirled Card

A simple, but cute card..perfect for Christmas cards, since there is no additional coloring. Have you ever picked out a cute line drawn image for your Christmas cards, then sat down to make 100 and realize on #2 that you've made a mistake? Yeah..me, too.

Snow Swirled Layout

This is my favorite stamp set from the new catalog - Snow Swirled. Don't you love the snow flakes! Wait until you see the new Christmas cards I'm going to make. I just got my new order in the mail...brown just rang the doorbell! (Feverishly opening box now....). Great new ideas are just hours away! Remember to sign up for stamp club if you are interested, and the Halloween treat boxes are almost gone - place your order before Friday so that they will arrive in time for Halloween!
