Stampin’ Up! Holiday Happenings!

Posted on December 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the December edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!

Our December theme is "Holiday Happenings". Today I want to share with you some custom ornaments I created with my daughter to give to her kid's teachers with the Gnome for the Holidays and Way to Goat stamp sets!

First the Gnomes! I actually stamped and colored these little guys (and the goats) while creating the Merry Christmas banners I shared with you a while back. I stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Stampin' Blends.

I adhered each one to a window sheet circle cut with a Layering Circles Die using glue dots. I added a matching Whisper White circle that I had printed "Christmas 2020" and the recipient's name. After punching a hole at the top I tied some white sewing thread to it so I could hold on to it while rolling it into a tube to fit through the top of the ornament. It popped back open easily!

I tied the thread to the ornament wire, then tied some Real Red Sheer Ribbon for the hanger.

Now for the goats! First the dad:

Then the mom:

The "kids":

Now it's time to continue on the hop! Just click on any of the names listed to see what holiday happenings they have going on!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday December 14th!

Posted on December 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another busy weekend. I try to stay ahead as much as I can, but always something comes along that gets me off-track. Family always comes first, so that's why I've been blogging my Sunday Swap Days on Monday so much lately.

Today I have a fun collection of gift card holders to share with you!

First, Emily Tull created her gift card holder with Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and the Moose Punch, which are both on the Year-End Closeout Retiring List!

Next, Laura Barto used the retiring Festive Post with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder and the Rectangle Postage Punch for her gift card holder. The Mossy Meadow 3/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon is 50% off on the Year-End Closeout Retiring List.

This gift card holder pulls out:

And then flips open!

Barb Dykhouse created her gift card holder with the Tag Buffet stamp set (retiring), Red Foil Sheets, Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders (retiring and 50% off), and Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Paper (retiring and 50% 0ff)

It's a simple gift card:

Finally, Rhonda Bassler used the retiring Gnome for the Holidays with retiring-and-20% off 'Tis the Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. She used Hippo & Friends dies from the Annual Catalog to cut the layers.

It's easy to make a place for a gift card by simply scoring, folding, and securing to make a pocket!

You will find the complete listing of everything on the Year-End Closeout (retiring) in my online store.

Moose Punch	Plaid Tidings 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper	Festive Post Photopolymer Stamp Set

Posted on December 10, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Year-End Closeout and Clearance Rack Refresh, coupled with my Free Shipping offer, has been going so well I've decided to extend the free shipping through Saturday to give you all a few more days to send me your order!

Today I want to share with you a few projects I've created and shared in the past few months with the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set, starting with this Merry Christmas banner I shared HERE.

Earlier I used this same little guy as the focal point of the Christmas card I shared HERE.

I paired this guy with Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is also on the Retiring/Year-End Closeout List. I used the Tailored Tag Punch, which is from the Annual Catalog, to punch him out and to create the mat layers.

Finally, I created a more traditional Gnome For The Holidays Christmas card with another print from Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer paper and a print from In Good Taste Designer found in the Annual Catalog. I cut out the focal image with a Celebration Labels Die, which is also on the Retiring/Year-End Closeout List and are discounted 50%! Get all of the details for this card HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Gnome For The Holidays Banner!

Posted on December 3, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Over the long Thanksgiving weekend I helped my daughter create 9 banners for her co-worker gifts. We used the trendy Gnome for the Holidays!

It's hard to see how cute this banner really is. My little point-and-shoot isn't up to this task!

I used Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White for my color scheme, which was the perfect background for the snowflakes, letters, and gnomes! I spelled out "M E R R Y" using a retired set of Stampin' Up! dies I will never get rid of, then used the Playful Alphabet to add "CHRISTMAS". In between each of the "M E R R Y" letters I added a banner with just snowflakes and the small Playful Alphabet letters to spell "CHRISTMAS". All of the banners are stapled over the twine so they can be slid back and forth to get the spacing correct depending on where you hang it.

I added adhesive with Adhesive Sheets before cutting out the snowflakes. This made assembly MUCH EASIER than trying to use liquid glue!

The gnomes (we made one banner with the Way To Goat stamp set but I forgot to take a picture before she took it away) were stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. I colored around each gnome with a Light Seaside Spray Stampin' Blend so I could easily cut around them.

Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set (English)	Playful Alphabet Dies	Winter Snow Embossing Folder
So Many Snowflakes Dies	Cherry Cobbler 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
