Christmas Gift Holder

Hey there bloggers! It's been awhile again since I've been able to post.  Unfortunately working 

9.5 hour days does that. There isn't much energy left for creativity. But I will be trying to make more of an effort. 

So, back in the spring I saw the new Envelope Punch Board when the new CHA products were being released to the distributors. And to be honest I thought... why do I need this? I don't really have any interest in making my own envelopes, it so much easier just to buy them. Once it arrived at work I wasn't able to keep in stock. But I still didn't see the need for one. Then Stampin' Up! announced a partnership with the manufacturer and we would be carrying them also. So I thought... Well I should probably have one so I can be informed when my customers ask me about them. So I bought one. 

Then I saw a project online and I was so excited! I made a few envelopes, and some file folder cards, and it was so easy to use. I started to get  a little more interested. And then it happened... my Ah-Ha moment.... I saw this awesome chocolate treat holder online and I was soooo excited! I couldn't wait to try it out. I have to give credit to Janet Wakeland who created the original project.

So I made one for my Stamper's Club project and everyone was wowed. Unfortunately I didn't have any current Christmas DSP so I used some retired items. Here it is, enjoy!

Stampin' Up Tulle

Hi all! It's been awhile....unfortunately I have had some back issues and have not been able to get downstairs into my craft room to create anything so I haven't been posting lately. 

But I missed my bloggers! So I decided to post other ideas, other than my own that is. I thought it was a great way to get some fresh ideas and promote some products that you may not have put much thought into. 

So today I wanted to focus on Tulle. I had a Jingle Bell Card Creations class recently and the ladies were almost scared to use it. They didn't know what to do with it. And it shouldn't be so intimidating because it's such a simple product and actually very versatile and easy to use.

So here are some cute ideas that I found showcasing the Stampin' Up Tulle from the Holiday Catalogue. 

So my first share is from Celia. And I love what she did with the Tulle which showcases a very simple technique for using the Tulle, just gathering it behind an image. 

Next up is Ann, who created this very cute rolled flower using the Tulle. 

And finally Kimberly, who created this great vintage style card by wrapping and tying the Tulle. 

Okay so that's it for today. I hope that you have found some ideas to get you inspired. And I am placing an order this weekend so email me to order your Tulle so you can start playing!

TGIF

Hi Ho Bloggers! Sorry for the late post today.

Today's project is a note holder that I made about a week ago but it seemed like it was lacking something. So I added a few new elements...

and voila!

Gift Bag

Happy Wednesday! I wasn't feeling well yesterday so I didn't end up spending any time creating. So today's project is a CASE from my Stampin' Success magazine. 

Stampin' Success is a magazine filled with inspiration and business building ideas for demonstrators. 

Enjoy!

Christmas in July Day 4

It smells like cookies in here! And if you know me you know that I don't cook or bake so there's no cookies here....but I have something better....Sugar & Spice Scented Embossing Powder! And wow...it smells so good! I want to emboss everything in sight so I can keep smelling this! LOL

Holiday Catalogue Preview Info 

So in this section I want to tell you what you can look forward to in the new Holiday Catalogue.

And today I am obviously going to talk about the Scented Embossing Powder. It comes in two different scents...Peppermint Sticks and Sugar & Spice. The scent will last for up to two weeks and I have to say that they smell so good. Sugar & Spice will emboss in a slightly off white color so it is best used with darker colors and the Peppermint Sticks embossing powder will emboss clear. And today's card features the Sugar & Spice Embossing Powder....


My Christmas Sneak Peek today uses the new Scentsational Season stamp set as well as the new Scalloped Tulle Ribbon and Good Cheer wheel. I also used the new Candlelight Christmas DSP.
And my card is perfect for the Playing in Paradise Challenge #76, as the new Scalloped Tulle Ribbon is definitely soft and fluffy!

Christmas in July Day 3!

Hi ho Bloggers! It's Wednesday and and I'm hoping for some sun today. The last few days have been gloomy. Although I am grateful for the slight cool down that it has caused.

Holiday Catalogue Preview Info 

So in this section I want to tell you what you can look forward to in the new Holiday Catalogue.

I'm very excited to announce that Stampin' Up! is offering Core'dinations cardstock in Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso and Gumball Green! As well as the Dust Buddy and Sanding System. For those of you not familiar with this cardstock it is a sandable cardstock that has a smooth side and a textured side. The inside is a monochromatic color that can be revealed by sanding, tearing or distressing! So Cool! Watch my blog for samples using this creative new product coming soon!

Today's card is once again featuring the Holiday Ornaments bundle. Hope you enjoy! Please leave me a comment!
