More Christmas Cards

My Mom made this beautiful card for us.

She used Heat and Stick powder and the green Fine Cosmo Glitter for the main image.

Home for the Holidays is the stamp set she used from the Holiday Mini.

She also used Gold Emboss Powder for the greeting, that you can see thur the Word Window Punch.

I love it!

This next card was made by Pam Lee, my Stampin' Up! Upline.

She used the stamp set Snow Swirled. I love how she used the gold brads on the tree.

Thanks Pam for the beautiful card!

Handmade Christmas Cards

Look at these beautiful Christmas Cards I've received!

The first is made by Dana.

I love this set and the glitter too!!!

The Kiwi Kiss ribbon looks so nice.

Beautiful card!

Ann made this beautiful card.

The picture doesn't do it justice!

I looks like she used a type of flocked cardstock, for the tree and layers.

My Auntie Sharon made this snow filled card!

I love how she made the ground covered in snow and glitter!

Love the brads too!

And my Auntie Carol made this cute little squirrel card.

(I think he is a die, cut out on her Big Shot).

I don't know if you can see all the glitter snow in the picture,

but it's beautiful! 

Thank you Ladies for the beautiful cards!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

December's Stampin' Club

This time around we made 3 projects.

The first was this cute Gift Card holder.

With Mr. Twigster, of course!!! 

Then we made a little ornament, using a Chocolate Mint Paddy.

I ended up making 25 of them for my son's friends.

And last we made a Spiral Pop-Up card.

We used the Jumbo Snow Wheel, heat and stick powder, then we poured the light blue Fine Cosmo Glitter all over it!

We used the Big Shot to cut out the snowflakes, and attached them to the spiral we made from the large circle punch.

Thanks for another great time Ladies!

Christmas Card Class

Here are the Christmas Cards we made on Thursday and the same class again on Saturday.

We made two of each card, 10 in total.

We used the big shot to cut out the snowflakes, and the Winter Post set from the mini catalogue.

We punched out the stars with the large star punch on silver cardstock.

I love the silver cord from the Holiday Mini catalogue, can you tell?

This card we used the Snow Swirled Set.

I Love Mr Twigster! He comes from the mini catalogue too!

We added some dazzling diamond glitter for snow.

The designer paper is Ski Slope from the mini. 

We used the Jumbo Snow wheel, and cut out the snowflake with the Big Shot.

You can purchase the snowflake dies from the mini catalogue, they come in a pack of 4 different designs.

I guess I really liked the Holiday Mini Catalogue this year!

Thanks for a great time Ladies!

Bad Blogger!

Boy, have I been a bad blogger!

But have been busy!

I had a wonderful time on Monday night with Lisa, her friends, and co-workers!

We made 10 cards, (2 each of the 5 designs).

Here are the cards we made.

This first one uses the hostess level 2 set Deer Friends.

The next two are from the stamp set Snow Swirled.

Love the silver cord from the mini catalogue!

I had to get Mr Twigster from the mini catalogue!

He's so cute!

I used the Top Note die, and Winter Post stamp set again from the mini catalogue!

Here are my Stampin' Club's November projects.

We made two cards using water color techniques.

Both cards were made with the Winter Post set.

Thanks to everyone for a fun November.... so far!

Happy Stampin'!!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

We're looking forward to trick or treating tonight!

But first we are off to preschool!

I decided last minute to make 24 of these little kit kat holders for preschool.

Crazy? Yes!

Once you get a little assembly line going it goes pretty quick!

We made these in this months Stampin' Club.

You could also make them for Christmas, just change up the paper and add a Santa chocolate!

Have a Happy Halloween everyone!

Another 4 Year Old!

Our son's friend turned 4 this week also!

I had to use the cupcake from my new set Party Hearty!

I used Stampin' Write Markers to get all of the different colors.

(I love using markers for stamping!)

I also used my 2 way glue pen to adhere the chunky glitter to the cupcake.

The base of the card is Cameo Coral, Rose Red, and Pumpkin Pie.

I used those colors for the markers as well as Certainly Celery, So Saffron,

and Tempting Turquoise. The ribbon is Tempting Turquoise.

Oh, and I pulled out my Crimper for the Rose Red piece!

4th Birthday!

Our Little Man is now 4!

I can't believe it!

He had a wonderful party with friends and family!

I made this card for him using my new stamp set Party Hearty.

I used the colors Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Old Olive, cardstock and stampin' write markers. Bashful Blue marker. I used my new Scallop Edge punch on the Old Olive cardstock. 

I think I will get alot of use from this set, as it also has a cupcake in it too!

October's Club Meeting

We played with my new machine, The Big Shot, this month!

This little basket is one of the projects we made, using the die Baskets & Blooms in the holiday mini.

We used Ghostly Greetings Designer paper.

The Happy Halloween stamp is from the set House of Haunts.

I'm really liking this little machine, and want more dies!

My wish list just got bigger!!!!

September's Stampin' Club

Here are the cards we made at the last Stampin' Club Meeting.

This first card is called a free standing pop up card.

It folds up and fits into the medium envelopes.

The Eastern Blooms stamp set  was used and check out the new kiwi kiss ribbon!

It's kiwi kiss on one side, very vanilla on the other!

I wanted everyone to go home with a sample of all of the new in colors.

So here is the second card we made.

We used the Garden Whimsy stamp set. 

I'm looking forward to our October meeting, were we will be making some Halloween items using my new "Big Shot".

Thursday evening

On thursday evening I met with fellow demonstrators. (Yes!, we have our own meetings!) We get together and talk about the latest and greatest things Stampin' Up! has to offer!

During this time we do a card swap.

Here is the one I made using the Fresh Cuts stamp set, the new "In colors"; Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, and Kiwi Kiss.

When we first arrive at the meeting we get to make our "Make'n'Take's".

Pam Lee created both cards for us.

The first card uses the butterfly from the Dreams du Jour set as well as the set Heard from the Heart. 

This card also uses the set Dreams du Jour.

As well as all of the new "In Colors"! 

I'm loving the new colors!

Thanks again Pam for having us!
