MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas.  
I thought I would share with you today what got me started in stamping.  I saw this framed piece at a craft show 3 years ago....I kept circling it and looking at it and the crafter said, "I teach a class on how to make that picture and also cards."  I went to the class and made this beautiful picture and kept going to her classes and that was my start to Stampin Up and stamping.  (so thank you Julie Brancart!)

CHRISTMAS PLACE SETTING TAGS

I made these place setting tags as a hostess gift.  I used the star framelits, various cardstock, gold metallic thread to add a little glitz and of course a bow made with gold cording trim. I used a gold marker to write the names.  Cute!

WHAT I LOVE - SALE-A-BRATION 2016

SNEAK PEEK - This card was made with my FREE stamp set from the 2016 Sale-a-bration catalog. "What I Love"
For those of you who are not aware of sale-a-bration it happens every year January - March and for every purchase of $50  you can pick a free item from the sale-a-bration catalog.   

The Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration go live on January 5th.  YAY!!
Let me know if you would like a catalog.

So this morning, I was running late - as usual - but I couldn't resist trying out this stamp - this card is simple but sweet.  I love the font of the word Thank you. (I will definitely play with this set more when I have more time.)

FESTIVE FIREPLACE

I made & personalized these cards for my son & daughter. Dog for him and Cat for her.  I had a lot of fun making them...I had to fussy cut out the pieces because I don't have the die cut but it was not difficult.

POINSETTIA

This is the card I designed for my Saturday morning class.  I made this card using the Stampin' Up! Festive Flower Builder Punch and I was AMAZED at how easy it was and the beautiful flower it created.  The black striped paper is actually vellum from the SU Winter Wonderland Designer Series Pack with a piece of whisper white adhered.  You can use this punch alone or with the coordinating stamp set "Jesus is the Reason."  For those that missed the class, on Monday I will be posting a YOUTUBE video on how I made this card.  One more thing...this punch and stamp set can be purchased as a bundle which means you can save 15%.  What do you think?


Here is my supply list for making this project:

YAY BEAR

I made this YAY Bear card for my brother...I wanted to make him a card with the bear from the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set and it goes so well with the Woodlands Embossing folder (trees in the background) and you can never be too old for balloons right? I cut out the balloon and hat using the From the Herd stamp set.
Here is my supply list for this project:
