What an elegant looking card this is! I stamped the star with Versamark and then sprinkled silver embossing powder over it and heat set it with my heat gun. So pretty! I hadn’t planned to stamp my little snowflakes but a smudge of ink got on the card. The snowflakes completely covered it up. I think they are a nice addition! The star is one of our single stamps and will be available until January 31, 2014. My greeting is from the set Special Season in the Holiday Catalog.

Have you had a chance to use our new Foil sheets yet? You have the choice of gold or silver and you receive (2) 12×12 single-sided sheets. They can be cut with the Big Shot or punches. I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder to create my present-like card. It was very simple to put together and the shine makes it look so pretty (definitely a bit hard to tell in the picture). The base of my card is Cherry Cobbler and I “wrapped it up” with our beautiful white organza ribbon. My greeting is from the set Tags 4 You and I punched it out with the Label Bracket Punch. I adhered my bow with Glue Dots. Easy! I have to give Jackie Topa credit for this idea. Her card used the Gold Foil sheets and I knew immediately that I wanted to give the card a try. I’ve made several more with different embossing folders and will show those throughout the week!
Happy Stamping!

Yesterday I mentioned that I would show another version of my snowman card. Instead of cutting him out, I stamped him directly onto my cardstock. Which one do you like better?

Who doesn’t love a snowman?? This cute little guy is from the set Snow Day in the Holiday Catalog. I stamped his body using Smoky Slate. I inked the stamp up, stamped it on my grid paper and then stamped it on my Whisper White paper. I did this because I felt that the color was just a bit too dark going immediately onto the paper. An extra added bonus was that I could practice placing his eyes, mouth, etc. on my grid paper first! I also used the Expressions Thinlits Die to make the word Merry (yesterday I used the set for the word Thankful). I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock and paper from the Season of Style DSP Paper Stack. I cut my snowman out and used dimensionals to mount him on a piece of Whisper White that I ran through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. Another option, if you don’t want to cut the snowman out, is to stamp him directly onto a piece of paper that has not been embossed. I will post one tomorrow so you can see the difference.
I hope this inspires you to get into your stamping space today and make something!

Happy Friday! Yesterday I mentioned that I was heading to the DMV to renew my license. One piece of advice: make an appointment online! Oh my gosh, I was in and out in ten minutes! It was very painless. Now I just hope my picture turns out!!
Today’s card uses a very fun product from the Holiday catalog called Expressions Thinlits dies. These are used with your Big Shot and are very easy to use. I found that using waxed paper made the words just pop out of the die. The sandwich I used was: cutting plate, cardstock, waxed paper, thinlit, cutting plate. I used dots of glue with the 2 way glue pen to adhere the word to my card. I also used the 1 1/4″ Burlap ribbon. I don’t know why I waited so long to use this product!
Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Welcome to my new blog! I am so glad that you are here!! Over the last several months I have had to take a step back from my Stampin’ Up! business. I’ve been very fortunate to spend a great deal of time babysitting my granddaughter, who does not live in the same area as I do. She’s a joy and I enjoy every moment that I can with her! On the days that I babysit, I am pretty much worn out! If you are a grandmother, I am sure you understand! I am back home again and plan to visit again very soon.
It has been nice to be back in my craft room! I’ve been busy making cards AND learning how to navigate my new blog platform! There are still things to figure out (such as how to make my text larger!) but I decided to just go ahead and jump in with my first entry. Please note that my promotions on the right side have NOT been updated. I am in the process of learning how to do this.
Onto my card! We made this at my club meeting last week. I just love this stamp set (Joyful Christmas)! It is so pretty stamped onto vellum with white embossing powder. In person, it is just beautiful! I stamped the poinsettia twice and then cut each one out and used a dimensional to lay the smaller flower on top. The Frosted Finishes Embellishment in the middle of the flower just adds so much wow to the card. My paper comes from the Winter Frost Designer Series Pack. I NEVER would have thought to use blue as a background for a Christmas card but it really does work!
I am off to the DMV to renew my license. I have an appointment so I am hoping it goes well! Again, thanks so much for stopping by today.

I feel just awful that I haven’t posted in so long. I’ve been helping out my daughter by babysitting our granddaughter and at the end of the day I am too tired to do much of anything! The other day though I did get some time in my craft room and made this pouch using the Envelope Punch Board. I slipped in two packages of Almond Roca. Wouldn’t this be great for some of your adult friends on Halloween?
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
