Exciting News!

 

Beginning Tuesday, December 8th, Stampin’Up! is having their Year-End Sale!  What does this mean for you? Almost ALL of the items in the current Holiday catalog will be offered at a discount.

Although the sale will run through January 4th, the items sell out very quickly, sometimes in a matter of hours, so if there are items you want, do not delay in ordering to avoid being disappointed. There are a few items that will NOT be on sale because they will be in the new Annual Catalog in June. A list of the products which will NOT be on sale is at the bottom of this post.

More great news!  The new mini catalog will be live on January 4th! So many fantastic new items! If you do not currently work with a demonstrator and are planning on ordering, you may request a catalog from me at claudiaa.cmd@gmail.com.

Along with the new catalog coming on January 4th, Sale-a-Bration also begins! For every $50 of product you purchase, you can choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration brochure! Watch for more information soon!

Even MORE Great News! Sale-a-Bration is a GREAT time to join Stampin’Up! as a hobby demonstrator or if you’d like to try it as a small stay-at-home business. Along with choosing $125 worth of product for $99 (and free shipping!), you will also receive FREE an assortment of five packs of 6″ x 6″ Designer Paper! I’d love to have you join my team!

Tutorial: Silver Evergreen Forest Christmas Card

 

The Evergreen Embossing Folder has such great detail in it that making a background with it really catches the eye. While it looks great with any cardstock, using foil paper really brings out the design. This card is quick to make but is very elegant!

 

Cut Cardstock:
  • Card Base: Whisper White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
  • First Layer (front): Silver Foil Sheet – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • First Layer (inside): Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Greeting: 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″

 

Assembly:

Emboss the Silver Foil piece with the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder and adhere to the card base. I’ve found that using glue works better than Seal or any tape runner since the back of the foil paper is very smooth and glue just seems to adhere better.

Use Versamark ink to stamp the greeting from the “For Unto Us” stamp set onto the small piece of Whisper White cardstock, sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder, and set with the heat tool. Crop with the third largest circle from the Stitched Shapes dies. Adhere to the cardfront with Dimensionals. Place three large rhinestones around the greeting.

For the inside, stamp the sentiments with Versamark onto the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. (I combined two of the sentiments to coordinate with the greeting on the front of the card.) Sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder and set with heat tool. Stamp the small star with Versamark onto the upper left corner of this piece, sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder and set with heat tool.  Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

 

 

Use Versamark to stamp the small star to the lower left corner of the envelope, sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder and set with heat tool.

The Peaceful Nativity stamp set has lovely images that are great for coloring – but they also look very elegant when embossed in gold. As an added bonus, this card is one that is pretty quick to make because there is no coloring to do. The gold embossing is complimented by the Gold Foil paper as well as the gold stars in the Designer Paper.

Assembly:

Adhere one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock to the card base. Layer the DSP onto the card front with Seal.

Use Versamark to stamp the image, larger star and greeting onto the 2 1/4″ x 3 3/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock see photo for placement.  Sprinkle with Gold Emboss powder and set with heat tool. Use your paper snips to flag the bottom end of the banner, then use Multipurpose Glue to adhere to the 2 1/2″ x 3 5/8″ piece of Gold Foil paper. Trim the bottom edge to match the flagged edge of the stamped piece. Attach to the card front with Dimensionals.

Crop the single and triple pine branch from the Beautiful Boughs dies set out of Gold Foil paper. Adhere to the card front with glue, tucking the ends under the stamped banner. Place a small Gilded Gem at the bottom of the stamped banner.

FB Live Recap: Chocolate Santa Chimney & Santa Card

 

I don’t know about you, but ever since I can remember, chocolate Santas have always been a Christmas treat in our family. Not only would we get them in our Christmas stockings, but at celebrations with the whole family there would always be a chocolate Santa at everyone’s place setting. In remembering that tradition, I thought why not make a little “chimney” for the Chocolate Santas this year? In my Facebook Live videos this week, I did just that! I also made a cute Santa card with the Don’t Stop Believing stamp set.

Feels Like Frost Christmas Cards

 

Do you sometimes struggle with coming up with ideas for making cards? I think everyone has days or weeks when we are on a roll and design ideas just keep coming. Other times, we sit and stare at our supplies and draw a blank. I sure can relate to that!

The Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper is a stack of beautiful winter nature designs. The other side of the paper has silver foil and white designs which are very elegant. It was new in the catalog last year, but it’s so popular that Stampin’Up! carried it over to the current Holiday catalog. If you haven’t seen it, I would urge you to take a look at it. If you bought it last year and it’s being neglected, then I would suggest you revisit it!

Whether you want to make just one, a few, or a bunch of Christmas cards, the Feels Like Frost DSP will help you easily create gorgeous cards.

There are so many pretty designs to choose from, and I wanted to show you just how quick and easy it is to use this paper in your designs.

For these cards, I used the basic colors of Whisper White and Night Of Navy along with the Feels Like Frost DSP. You can make them as elaborate or simple as you want. For instance, for the Poinsettia card,  I chose the paper that has the evergreens and snow, and I used a  2″ strip of the silver and white design on the reverse side of the paper under the poinsettia. The DSP is layered onto Whisper White cardstock then onto a Night Of Navy card base. I made the poinsettia from Whisper White cardstock using the Poinsettia dies and added a silver foil pine branch that was cropped using the Beautiful Boughs dies. The greeting is from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and was stamped with Night of Navy ink.

 

 

This pretty deer card uses two different Feels Like Frost Designer Papers layered onto a piece of Night of Navy then onto the Whisper White card base. I covered the seam with a length of Seaside Spray Metallic ribbon. The deer from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set was stamped with Memento ink and cropped with a Stitched Rectangle die. I also added a pine branch out of Silver Foil behind the deer and a blue gem as an accent.

 

 

I stamped the cute gnome from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set with Memento ink directly onto the pine branch/snow Designer Paper and colored him with Stampin’ Blends markers. For a little extra interest, I stamped the portion of the gnome with the ornament, colored the ornament and fussy cut it out. I used a dimensional to attach it right on top of the ornament stamped on the DSP. I layered the stamped DSP onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock and then onto a Whisper White card base. I stamped the greeting with Memento ink onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock, then flagged the ends and attached it to the card front with dimensionals. I also scattered a few of the Adhesive Backed Snowflake Embellishments on the card front.

 

 

Here’s another card where I stamped the greeting directly onto the Designer Paper using Night Of Navy ink. The greeting is from the Merry Moose stamp set. I punched the moose out of Night Of Navy cardstock and just glued it to the card front. The DSP is layered onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock, then adhered to the Whisper White cards base. This is definitely one card that you can make in just a couple minutes!

 

 

Another very quick to make card – adhere your favorite DSP to a Night Of Navy card base. Use Night Of Navy ink to stamp one of your favorite greetings onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the Stitched Shapes circle die and layer it onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock that has been cropped with a coordinating scalloped circle die. For my card, I used the Layering Circles dies and the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set. Add a couple of Rhinestones for a little sparkle.

 

 

I hope this has inspired you to create these and other cards quickly by using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper as one of the main ingredients in your designs! The paper is gorgeous and it requires little effort to make beautiful cards that your friends and family will treasure.

FB Live Recap: Hershey Kiss Holder and Gnome Card


On this week’s Facebook Live video, I made an adorable Hershey Kiss holder that can also hold a gift card, plus a cute coordinating Gnome Christmas Card. For me, the holiday season isn’t about getting a lot of big ticket gifts, but I must say I enjoy giving (and getting!) cute little token gifts like this chocolate kiss holder just because of the “cute” factor.

Tutorial: Santa with Snowflakes Card

 

While I’m usually a fan of Santa in the traditional red suit, for this card I chose shades of blue to match the snowflake paper. Without having to stop and color the Santa, this card makes up pretty quickly!

 

Cut Cardstock:
  • Card Base: Misty Moonlight – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/2″
  • First Layer: Whisper White – 5 1/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
  • Second Layer: Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Third Layer: Whisper White – 3 1/2″ x 3″
  • Fourth Layer: Misty Moonlight – 3 3/8″ x 2 7/8″
  • Santa Layer: Whisper White – 3 1/4″ x 2 3/4″
  • Greeting: Scrap of Whisper White

 

Assembly: 

(Note: All stamped images are from the ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ stamp set.)

Layer a 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Whisper White cardstock onto the card base. Adhere the Snowflake Splendor DSP to this layer.

Using a Water Painter brush, lightly moisten the 3 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock (it should not be dripping). Use Misty Moonlight ink to make a light blue wash on this piece. Let it dry naturally, or hasten the process by using the heat tool to dry it.

When completely dry, use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the Santa image onto the piece. Crop the corners with the corner rounder punch. Adhere to the 3 3/8″ x 2 7/8″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock which has the corners cropped with the corner rounder punch.

Layer this onto the 3 1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock which has the corners cropped with the corner rounder punch. Attach the completed piece onto the card front with Dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement.

Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the greeting onto scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Crop with the second largest oval from the Stitched Shaped Dies, then attach to the card front with Dimensionals, slightly overlapping the Santa piece. Refer to photo for placement.

Attach several of the Adhesive-backed Snowflake Embellishments to the greeting and the Santa piece.

 

Inside:

Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the sentiment to the remaining piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using the snowflake image, stamp several snowflakes across the top of this piece with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off first onto a scrap piece of paper so that the snowflakes image is much lighter than full strength ink.

 

 

Envelope:

Stamp the snowflake image to the lower left corner of the envelope with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off first on a piece of scrap paper so the ink is a lighter shade of blue.

Tutorial: Curvy Christmas with Poinsettias

 

The tiny poinsettias made from Red Foil are a pretty addition to this card card made with the Curvy Christmas bundle. The traditional red and green Christmas colors really pop out on this card! I love the way the the little holes at the bottom of the curvy die allows just a peek of the cardstock color underneath the white.

 

Cut Cardstock: 
  • Card Base: Whisper White – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
  • First Layer: Real Red – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
  • Second Layer (front): Tis The Season Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 3″, Whisper White – 5 1/4″ x 3″

Assembly:

Adhere one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Real Red cardstock to the card base. Adhere the large piece of DSP to the card front near the bottom, leaving a slight border of Real Red.

Use the Curvy Die with the tiny holes to crop the bottom edge of the 5 1/4″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Using Real Red ink, stamp the greeting from the Curvy Christmas stamp set toward the right side of this piece – refer to photo for placement. Emboss this piece with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder, then adhere it to the card front.

Use Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the leaf swag image from the Quite Curvy stamp set onto the 5 1/4″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Color the leaves with light and dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends markers. Crop the image with the corresponding die from the Curvy Dies set, and adhere to the card front with Dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement. (As an alternative – stamp and color the leaf swag directly onto the cropped Whisper White piece BEFORE embossing it.) 

Crop six tiny poinsettias from the Poinsettia dies set out of Red Foil paper. Adhere two of the flowers together with glue dots so that you have three poinsettias. attach them to the leaf swag with Dimensionals- refer to photo for placement. Place a medium Gilded Gem on the center of each flower.
