I know I've been absent from here for a LOOOONG time, but I'm back and I hope to share a few of the things I've been up to with you over the next few days!
I was able to attend a Stampin' Up! Regional event in Louisville, KY at the end of October. A BUNCH of my downline were able to attend as well: Jan, Rose, Joyce, Angela, Melinda, Linda, Babs, Cassey, Janice, and Sandy! These girls are so much fun, and I am blessed to call them my friends!
A dear friend of mine, Megan Wheeler, was a Demonstrator Presenter at this meeting. She gave an outstanding presentation, and I have CASED her demo'ed project here for you: a darling lunch sack giftbag and matching card!
We wheeled the Real Red cardstock with the Jolly Jingles Jumbo wheel and Basic Black ink cartridge, wheeling on the diagonal to give it that cool "retro" look! The handle is punched with the Extra Large Oval Punch, and the ribbon is Basic Black Dotted Scalloped Ribbon.

On the front we attached a cut-down Clear Translucent Envelope with Sticky Strip to slip the card down into.
The card itself is stamped with the "holly jolly" greeting from "Festive & Fun" from the Holiday Mini catalog in Staz-on Black, then colored with Real Red and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers. I prefer to stamp any image that I am going to color with Markers, Blender Pen, or Aquapainter with the Staz-on ink because Staz-on will not smear or run when moisture come in contact with it.
This is a fun little set we will be making at the rest of my workshops through December. If you would like to have a quick little Christmas Card Party before Christmas gets here, I have these dates still open:
Thursday, December 1st
Thursday, December 15th
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them for me!
Tomorrow, I will show you another card made with the same set, this time for Valentine's Day!
Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
