In just a few short days, the Stampin’ Up! Year-End Sale will begin! Starting on December 1st, this Friday, select retiring and surplus items will be on sale but only while supplies last. The sale will continue through January 2, 2018, but once items are gone, they’re gone! I’ll post more about the sale as information becomes available to me!

If you weren’t able to reserve a Stamparatus last month, a new reservation window will open next week on December 5th. Last month we were told ahead of time that only a limited number would be available for preorder and within 15 minutes, 27,000 had been spoken for. On December 5th, you’ll have a second chance to preorder this awesome tool. As of today, I haven’t heard the exact time when the reservation window will open but as soon as I have this information, I’ll let you know! If you’d like more details about the Stamparatus, you can click here!
If you have any questions about the sale or the Stamparatus, don’t hesitate to contact me!
Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday! I’m so glad that many of you were able to take advantage of the free shipping special from Stampin’ Up! yesterday!! Yay for free shipping!
Today I have another card using our Metallic Foil Snowflakes (they can found in the Holiday Catalog). Unfortunately my picture doesn’t do them justice. No matter how many different angles I tried, I couldn’t capture it! Hopefully the picture from Stampin’ Up! gives you a better idea how pretty these snowflakes are!


Basic Gray: 11″ x 4-1/4″ Scored at 5-1/2″
Whisper White: 5″ x 3-3/4″
Pool Party cardstock: 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 2-1/4″
Punches: 1-3/4″ Circle & 2″ Circle


- Run the Whisper White through the Big Using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.
- Glue the Designer Series Paper to the Pool Party piece and then attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
- Attach the snowflake to the DSP using Liquid Multipurpose glue.
- Emboss the sentiment onto Whisper White using Silver Embossing Powder. Be sure to first swipe the Embossing Buddy over your paper to help with static electricity.
- After adhering the sentiment to Pool Party, add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
This is a card that you can quickly put together and looks so fancy with the embossing and foil snowflake.
A list of all the products I used can be found below. For easy shopping, just click on any item and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Have a great day!

It’s the biggest shopping day of the year! Personally I hate all the crowds and never step foot near a mall the day after Thanksgiving but today we have an 8 hour car ride ahead of us as we head back home after visiting family for the holiday. I can still do some online shopping in the car!!
I mentioned the other day that I pulled out my foil snowflakes and finally started creating with them. This time I combined the snowflake with paper from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper. I’ve never made a Christmas card with Pool Party cardstock but I think the combination is really pretty!

Christmas Around the World DSP #144629
My sentiment is from the stamp set Tags & Trimmings which can be found in the Holiday Catalog and I embossed it using silver embossing powder. I cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and adhered it to the snowflake using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used the gorgeous 3/8″ Metallic Edge Ribbon underneath the snowflake (this ribbon is also available with a gold edge). I’ve listed all of the products I used to make today’s card below. Have a great day! If you’re shopping, I hope you mark a lot of names off your list!
