Stampin’ Up! Be Merry Gift Card Holder, the 12th Project!

Stampin’ Up! Be Merry Gift Card Holder, the 12th Project!

Hey there! Last night I went to see the Disney movie, Frozen, with my son, Ben. He invited me to go with him, and even though I am deep in the prep for my Christmas Catch Up Class next week and the Ina Craft Fair this Saturday, I couldn't let an opportunity to go out with my son go by, so I went! It was a FUN movie! I loved the story, the characters, and especially the music! We both laughed a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed the time! Now I need to make a project with all the beautiful snowflake-y inspiration! But.Must.Stay.Focused.

I just keep finding more cute ideas I want to share with everyone at the Christmas Catch Up Class, but I need to stop! Before I do stop, though, I'm adding JUST ONE MORE project to make it an even dozen, and I think you will see why this one just HAS to be included:
Stampin_up_be_merry_gift_card_holder_1

I received this from Ruth Bingle in the monthly swap I participate in. Isn't it gorgeous? I love how rich and elegant this color combo is! This project combines the Be Merry and Dictionary single stamps with Season of Style Designer Paper, Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding, and Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Baked Brown Sugar colors. Yay!

Stampin_up_be_merry_gift_card_holder_2

Inside is a simple pocket to hold a gift card, money, or anything you want to tuck in! "Oh what fun!" as this saying from Christmas Messages goes!

That's all for now! It's back to cutting paper, writing up directions, putting together packets, and making up craft fair goodies as I go! Maybe I'll find a few minutes to get the snowflake-y inspiration down on paper today, especially since we are supposed to get a few inches of white stuff this evening!

Stampin’ Up! Wishing You File Folder Gift Card!

Stampin’ Up! Wishing You File Folder Gift Card!

Hey there! I just spent the day with Liam and Jaxon again! Good times! They are so fun! At one point they were both dancing to the music of a Curious George movie I had playing for them and Jaxon pulled on my hand and said "up!" because he wanted me to dance with them! It's hard to dance with tears streaming down your face, but I managed, then thanked God for these precious little fellows I get to love!

Today's project is another made with the Envelope Punch Board, this time a "file folder" gift card holder:

Stampin_up_wishing_you_1

I used the Wishing You stamp set (#131748 wood-mount $14.95, #131751 clear-mount $11.95) for the greeting and on the Notecard Envelopes (#131528 $5.50 for 40 Crumb Cake envelopes measuring 5 1/8" x 3 5/8") Did you even KNOW these existed in the catalog? They are on page 162 of the Annual Catalog. They are so cute!

I made the gift card holder to fit inside the envelope. I adhered the Season of Style Designer Paper (#132340 $10.95) to the front flap and the Season of Style Designer Washi Tape ( #132155 $4.95) to the Crumb Cake base before punching with the Envelope Punch Board (#133744 $19.95) and then cutting off the excess with my Stampin' Trimmer (#126889 $29.95).

I wrapped a piece of Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon (#132135 $8.95) around both card flaps to create the pouch for the gift card. After stamping the greeting from Wishing You with Cherry cobbler ink, I punched it out with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch (#119850 $16.95) and adhered over the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430 $3.95)

You can shop for all the supplies to make these little babies in my Online Store:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

As long as you get your order placed by December 17th you should receive your order before Christmas!

This little gift card holder is the final project we will be making at my Christmas Catch-up and Customer Appreciation Open House on December 13th! Now to just get busy and prep all the packets!

That's all for now! I'm really excited for Wednesday. Not only do I have the whole day to be at home with no where to go (it's amazing how seldom that happens!), but my Spring Occasions Catalog pre-order arrives tomorrow too! Yippee! I ordered a BUNCH of fun new stuff that we will be playing with starting in January!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board Treat Pocket!

Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board Treat Pocket!

Hey there! I have another fun project using the Envelope Punch Board today! It's another treat holder, this time using Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper, the Best of Christmas Stamp set, and the Christmas Ornament Punch!

Stampin_up_winter_frost_pocket_treat_1

This project is QUICK, QUICK, QUICK! Just cut your paper to size, score and punch with the Envelope Punch Board, fold, adhere with a bit of SNAIL adhesive, and embellish! After I stamped the ornament with Island Indigo ink, I punched it out with the Christmas Ornament Punch. I tied a bit of Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the pocket, then adhered the ornament to the pocket with Stampin' Dimensionals. This little pocket fits a single piece of the "G" brand chocolates perfectly!

Stampin_up_winter_frost_pocket_treat_3

For the final touch I added a bit of bling to the ornament with my Silver Dazzling Details! It complements the Smoky Slate in the Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper perfectly!

Stampin_up_winter_frost_pocket_treat_2

I used one of the stamps from the Christmas Collectibles stamp set on the back side because it already has a "to:" and "from" in it! This would be a perfect co-worker gift, wouldn't it?

In case you haven't seen the Envelope Punch Board in action, here's a video by Stampin' Up! showcasing the basics of operation and how to make a custom envelope with it:

Stampin’Up! Wonderful Blessing Ornament!

Stampin’Up! Wonderful Blessing Ornament!

Hey there! We had a wonderful Saturday with our house full of family, good food, fun games, a personality quiz, and lots of laughter!

Cohen & Jaxon spent the night so Johnny & Jessica & Ava could take Maddie Kate to her first Cheer Competition in Mt Vernon, and Kimmy & Liam spent the night just because! SO FUN!

My project to share with you today is another from my upcoming Christmas Catch-up Class on December 13th! If you are local to me, please let me know of your intentions to come!

We will be using the Wonderful Blessing Single Stamp to create this easy ornament. I white heat-embossed the image on Midnight Muse cardstock, then cut it out with one of the Circle Collection Framelits. I layered it on a Silver Glimmer circle, then another Midnight Muse circle. I used my hot glue gun to add the 1/8" Silver Ribbon to the back of the ornament.

Stampin_up_wonderful_blessing_1

Up super-close you can see the fine detail of the Wonderful Blessing image. I added just a touch of bling with a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the Christmas star.

Stampin_up_wonderful_blessing_3

On the back side I covered the hot-glued ribbon with a circle of Winter Frost Specialty Designer Paper, then a Whisper White circle that I stamped with one of the phrases from More Merry Messages with Midnight Muse ink.

Stampin_up_wonderful_blessing_2

This is really an easy ornament. I need to make a few more of these even before the class on the 13th!

That's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by. You can order the supplies to make your own from my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Snow Hot Chocolate Pouch!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Snow Hot Chocolate Pouch!

Hey there! We are back home from our visit with our Tennessee family, and today we will be celebrating with all of our kids and grandkids! God is good!

Today I have a Hot Chocolate Pouch design to show you I cased from a UK demo, Monica Gale:

Stampin_up_best_of_snow_1

I used her basic design to construct the pouch (even used the Envelope Punch Board for the corner rounding!), but of course changed some things up a bit by using the Best of Snow stamp in the focal image, adding Northern Flurry Textured Impressions embossing, and using one of the phrases from More Merry Messages punched with the Modern Label Punch!

I went to Walmart to get some candy canes for these pouches and was amazed to find there were no traditional-just-red-and-white candy canes to be had! There were some teeny-tiny ones, but the rest were all blue, purple, orange, & pink! I'm guess I'm a candy-cane purist, as I'm not crazy to have my candy canes in weird colors! I ended up with these that do have a brown and a green stripe (they are chocolate-mint!), but while I was in TN I hunted some more and found REAL candy canes at a Publix grocery store in Franklin, TN! yay! You will probably see them in some future projects (if I don't end up eating them all, they are BOB's brand, which are the BEST!)

Stampin_up_best_of_snow_2

I just love this stamp from Best of Snow! It's been so cold lately I wish it would just go ahead and snow and put some fluffy white stuff on the ground!

This is one of the projects you can choose to make at my Christmas Catch Up Customer Appreciation Open House on December 13th!

ETA 8/23/15: I've had TWO requests for the directions to make this project in the past week, so I am posting it here for you:

Download Northern Flurry Hot Cocoa Cup

Well, I have bunches to do before the kids start arriving shortly after noon! Lots of cooking and a bit of cleaning & laundry from our trip too!

Don't forget there are just a few more days to get your order in from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Sale flyer!

You can view the sale flyer HERE   as well as place your order! Don't forget to check out the Weekly Deals tab and the Clearance Rack too!

That's all for now! I just received a new batch of my monthly swaps, so come back tomorrow for a bunch of fun giftcard ideas for Sunday Swap Day!
