Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! More Giftcardholder Ideas!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day! More Giftcardholder Ideas!

Hey there! Last night my husband surprised me with tickets to see "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" at the Marion Civic Center! yay! I've been reading the book every Christmas to my family since my kids were little, and even though they are big kids now, they still love it! I do to! It was a sweet production. I always tear up when Gladys says "hey! Unto YOU a child is born!" Gives me goosebumps just writing it! It was nice to get out after being snowbound since Thursday. Roads, sidewalks, and parking lots are still treacherous, and we are supposed to get "snow showers" again today, so church was cancelled for today. Oh well, one more day to stay in my jammies and stamp!

Since I have that new bunch of swaps, I think I will share a few more of them with you today:

Stampin_up_a_dozen_thoughts_1

Rene Watson used the Envelope Liner Framelit Dies to put together her holder (it could also be a card with the greeting page pulling out of the top!). She used Old Olive cardstock, Season of Style Designer Paper, Festive Flurry stamps and Framelit Dies, Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edged Ribbon, and "just because" from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set.

Stampin_up_festive_flurry_1

This design is the first giftcardholder style I learned to make! Katy Simecka used the Festive Flurry stamps & framelits bundle with Pool Party, Whisper White, the Northern Flurry folder and Silver 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon!

Stampin_up_festive_flurry_2

The unique feature of this one is the Whisper White Medium Envelope that is the working part of the holder. Just fold the envelope in half, cut the flap in half at the fold, stick down the left side of the flap, then leave the right side open to slip the gift card in!

Stampin_up_a_gift_for_you_1

Barb Dykhouse used the Pop n' Cuts Card Base Die, A Gift For You Single Stamp, Crumb Cake cardstock, Season of Style Designer Paper, Oval punches, adn the Label Bracket Punch for her gift card holder.

Stampin_up_a_gift_for_you_2

Simple and easy with the Pop 'n Cuts Card Base Die, just cut out, score a couple of times, and decorate!

Stampin_up_warmth_wonder_1

Ruth Anne Lilley used  Warmth & Wishes Hostess and More Merry Messages stamps, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and Old Olive cardstock, Season of Style Designer Paper, Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder, and the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle and 1 3/4" Circle punches for this cute little pop-up gift card holder!

Stampin_up_warmth_wonder_2

Inside she used the Word Window Punch, punching a couple of time side-by-side to create the slot of the gift card!

Stampin_up_teeny_tiny_wishes_1

And last-but-definitely-not-least, Tamie Ackerson used the Pop 'n Cuts Card Base Die again for her adorable Snowman holder! Punches, markers, and sponging were used to create his perky little face, and the Bird Builder Punch does a great job looking like "holly"! Doesn't the Silver Glimmer Paper cut with the smallest Festive Flurry Framelit look a little bit like a sheriff's badge?

Stampin_up_teeny_tiny_wishes_2

The inside features a pull-up greeting, in addtion to the gift card pocket!

Stampin_up_teeny_tiny_wishes_3

Tamie used Teeny Tiny Wishes for the outside greeting, and Wishing You for the pull-up greeting!

Well, that's all for today! Even though we aren't going to church today, I still want to make a Sunday-dinner-worthy meal! Most of my kids are staying snug in their homes today, but Troy is coming over for lunch! yay!

Stampin’ Up! Dress Up Framelits Mrs. Claus!

Stampin’ Up! Dress Up Framelits Mrs. Claus!

Hey there! Busy weekend. I had my final Christmas Trimmings Class Saturday, then started prepping to celebrate Troy & Logan's birthdays Sunday. Troy's birthday is the 19th and Logan's is the 22nd, so we always celebrate them together. We try to have a separate day than Thanksgiving (although some years Logan's birthday is ON the day), so today is our selected day. We are also hoping to take our family Christmas picture, and are hoping for outside, but since it's been so cold (17 degrees and windy), I'm not sure that will happen!

The card I have for you today was created by a couple of my stampers, Donna Ninness and Diane Richardson, as Diane's Christmas Card. I took a picture of it at the monthly class we have in Marion:

Stampin_up_dress_up_framelits_mrs_claus_1

They CASED a Pinterest find, using the Dress Up Framelits, Scallop Circle Punch, and Petals a Plenty Textured Impressions Folder to create an adorable Mrs. Claus dress! LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Stampin_up_dress_up_framelits_mrs_claus_2

The colored a Rhinestone Basic Jewel with a red Sharpie Marker and added some retired white flocking to her collar to give it that warm, fuzzy, Mrs. Claus look!

That's all for now. I've got to get to bed so I can cook up a storm in the morning before church! Looking forward to warming up my kitchen!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Calendar Class!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Calendar Class!

I apologize for the super late post today. I actually had one almost ready to post this morning, but for some unknown reason my computer froze up, I had to restart, then when I cam back to the blog the post was lost! So frustrating, but also compounded by the fact that I couldn't re-do it then because my daughter was picking me up to run some errands so it had to wait! WAAAAAH!

Ok, now that I've whined a bit, let's try this again! Thanks for letting me vent! ha!

I'm having a Birthday Perpetual Calendar Class at my house on the 31st of March, my last SAB event for this year, so of course I've been working on the calendar. I decided to go with two different cover versions. The inside pages will be the same for both, just the covers will be diff!

Here's the first one using the Big Shot Blossom Party Originals Die, Twitterpated DSP, and Cherry Cobbler Regals Buttons!

Bc 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

The tiny little flourishes under the medallion are from the still-free-set with a qualifying SAB order, "Kindness Matters"!

Bc2
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

Here's the other calendar cover, this time in earthy tones using "Nature Walk" and "Best Friends Forever"!

Bc3
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

I love collage stamping, but am somewhat intimidated by it, so I decided to just go for it with this, and I love the result! The one stamp that "Nature Walk" lacks, in my opinion, is a foliage stamp, so I turned to "Best Friends Forever", and it has the perfect one! I also used the Label Framelits Dies to create the focal image layers, and it turned out well too!

Bc4
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

I used the "Petals-a-Plenty" Textured Impressions Folder for the layers, and added a brad from the "Vintage Trinkets", which added the perfect finishing touch!

Gotta go for now, lots to still do for my next few workshops and classes! Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Petals-a-Plenty Christmas Tree!

Petals-a-Plenty Christmas Tree!

As promised, here is my mini-tutorial for creating an embossed Christmas Tree using the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot!

I started by using my Hobby Blade and the Cutting Mat to cut two tree-shaped triangles out of a piece of thick cardboard from one of my packages of Candy Candy Christmas Designer Series Paper. The cardboard needs to be pretty thick and sturdy so it can take the place of the bottom acrylic cutting pad.

November 2010 065©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

I attached these two triangles to each other with Sticky Strip.

November 2010 066©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

I then attached the triangle to the positive side (petals popping UP!) of my Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions folder with Dotto repositionable adhesive. You want your triangle to be on the bottom of your sandwich going through the Big Shot, (this pic shows everything upside down). Insert your cardstock as shown in the picture so you can perfect the placement of the tree. Flip this all over and run through the Big Shot with this sandwich order: cardboard triangle attached to Impressions Folder, Impressions Folder with cardstock in middle, acrylic cutting plate.

November 2010 086©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Here's your Petals-a-Plenty Christmas Tree!

November 2010 071

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Use the journaling tip of a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to just barely apply color to the dots in the centers of the poinsettias and between the flowers. You will have a few slightly embossed petals around the main tree image, but you choose where you want your tree to begin and end by where you color the dots and later where you put the Two-way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter!

  November 2010 072©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

This pic shows part of the tree has had Two-Way Glue applied and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter so you can see the difference of with and without the glitter!

November 2010 076©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

We stamped the inside with a verse from Seasonal Sentiments, and surrounded it with snowflakes from Snow Swirled, all in Cherry Cobbler ink!

November 2010 085©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

After adding a strip of Cherry Cobbler punched with the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border and a strip of Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper, we added a greeting from Snow Swirled punched with the Wide Oval punch, matted on a Cherry Cobbler Decorative Label. The finishing touch is a Basic Jewel Rhinestone on the top of the tree!

That's all for today! I hope to be back tomorrow with the cards from my November Punch Class!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!
