Christmas 2020

Well, it is officially Black Friday, not that there will be many opportunities for in person shopping today. Here is St. Louis, the stores are open, but operating a minimum capacity so I guess I will be doing most of my shopping online.  Although yesterday was Thanksgiving, I could not resist the Snowflake Wishes, Thanks Snow Much stamp. After all if we have been good little boys and girls then we might need some Christmas Thank you cards, Right?

I started with a Whisper White card base embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder on top and to the bottom added a layer of designer series paper from my pack, Feels Like Frost. I added a strip of Smoky Slate cardstock and added a few basic pearls. The sentiment is stamped in Smoky Slate on a Whisper White square layered on a Smoky Slate square and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Again, I added a few pearls to the sentiment.

I stamped the inside greeting and bundle of snowflakes in Smoky Slate ink. I really do love how the Smoky Slate gives a silver appearance. I hope you have fun shopping. If you need more crafting supplies, I would be happy to serve as your Stampin’ UP! demonstrator. As always, until next time, be Blessed!

Here is a fun Joy card to spruce up your holiday season. I have seen several versions of this on the internet and have no idea who to credit, sorry about that, but whomever it is, I am sure he/she would be proud to have you CASE this card. By the way if you are not familiar with the term CASE, it is what we crafters lovingly refer to as Copy And Share Everything. After all it really is about making new friends, in person and virtual, and of course having a good time crafting!

This card features the Tag Buffet stamp set and the card base is in Misty Moonlight. highlighted it with a touch of Rich Razzelberry, (4 x 5 1/4), followed by another layer of Misty Moonlight (3 3/4 x 5). The Whisper White is cut from the Stitches So Sweetly Die set. I used the stocking stamp for the J, the ornament stamp for the O, and the leaf branch stamp to create the Y. All the coloring is done with the Stampin’ Blends.

The inside is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on Whisper White (4 x 5 1/4) using the sentiment from Peaceful Boughs. I also added a leaf branch and colored it with the Old Olive blends. I know I have mentioned once or twice (LOL) how much I love this sentiment from Peaceful Boughs and I am praying that the spirit of peace really does fill your home this holiday season.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Please feel free to leave a comment, I love the feedback. Hope you will join me again tomorrow, until then, be Blessed!

Today’s card is all about the joy of snowflakes. I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a diagonal of Whisper White embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder. Using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine, I cut snowflakes from the Snow Wishes Bundle in Balmy Blue Glitter paper and some Whisper White cardstock. I layered the snowflakes along the diagonal and added a few random dots cuts from the Balmy Blue Glitter paper.

The Joy is also cut from the Balmy Blue Glitter paper using the Joy Die set. The inside of my card is a layer of Whisper White (4 x 5 1/4) stamped with Balmy Blue ink using the sentiment from the Snow Wishes Bundle. I wanted to carry through my snowflake theme to the inside so I added a large snowflake from the Joy Die set.

Today’s card was born out of a St. Louis Virtual stamping event that I helped my friend Sally Nusbaum put on this past fall. It was a lot of fun and Sally is a hoot! She is very creative and has a generous heart. She is a blessing in my life. Since this was a virtual event, no stamped images were allowed in the kits, so the main focus of this card is the Stitched Triangles used to create the trees.

For my banner greeting, I used the Itty Bitty Christmas set and stamped in Garden Green ink on Very Vanilla, with an added banner accent of Real Red. I love all the greetings in this amazing go-to set. They are also great for making tags too! Hurry, you might want to add it to your Christmas collection before it is gone.

This card also features the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper, which was a returning favorite from last year! Check it out, I am pretty sure it is not coming back again!

The card base is Real Red with a layer of green plaid (4 x 5 1/4) from the Toile Tidings paper pack. The trees are cut using the Stitched Triangle Die and coordinating green colors in the Toile Tidings. The middle tree is embossed using the Wrapped in texture embossing folder with Garden Green cardstock.

The bottom red square is cut at 4 x 4″ with a 1/2 x 4″ strip of Garden Green at the top followed by a 3 1/8 x 3 7/8 layer of Very Vanilla. The layer directly under the trees is from the Tis the Season Designer Series pack and measures 3 x 3 3/4.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Feel free to leave a comment! Join me tomorrow for some more crafting fun! Until then, be Blessed!

I don’t know what it is about silver bells, but I just love them, especially at this time of the year. When my kids were little we would put up an “Angel” tree in the toy room. At least that is what we called it because we hung all kinds of angel ornaments on it. I also hung small silver bells and blue ornaments on it. I think it is time to bring back those silver bells, but until then this card will have to do! Today’s card features the Cherish the Season Bundle, with you guessed it Silver Bells!

I started with a card base of Misty Moonlight cardstock and added a 2 1/4″ x 5 1/2′ strip of Smoky Slate. For some fun texture I layered a piece of Misty Moonlight (2 x 5 1/4) that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the Old World 3-D Embossing folder. I heat embossed the bells on Smoky Slate cardstock with the VersaMark ink and silver embossing powder.

The Merry Christmas greeting from the Tag Buffet set is also heat embossed with the silver embossing powder. I added a Misty Moonlight bow on the double bells and off set two of the smaller bells, one on each side. This is a perfect set for using the heat emboss tool. So today’s challenge is for you to dig out your heat tool and create something beautiful.

If you don’t have a heat tool, no worries, I am happy to help with that! Just click on the add to cart button below and it will be added to your shopping cart. Add or delete whatever items work for you. I so appreciate your order as I hope to advance to the next level of sales before Christmas, fingers crossed!

Have you checked out the NEW 6 x 6 Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper? Today I used a sheet of the Cherry Cobbler stripes and the Cherish the Season Bundle to create this adorable card. My card base is Shaded Spruce with a layer of Shaded Spruce and Whisper White on top of the Designer Series Paper.

I heated embossed the bells with Silver Embossing powder on Smoky Slate cardstock. I really like how they turned out. The Tis the Season greeting is from Tag Buffet, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

I really love this Merry Christmas stamp from the Tag Buffet set. I finished off the inside with one of the small bells from the bundle, again, it is heat embossed with the Silver Embossing powder.

With Thanksgiving less than 2 weeks away I started thinking about making my Christmas cards. It seems if I do not get them made and ready to mail before decorating, I run out of time! This year there are so many wonderful Christmas bundles to choose from, which is great, but then again, I can’t decide. Maybe I will make a wide variety!

Today’s cards features bells from the Cherish the Season Bundle and the Joy from the Joy Dies. Our Cherry Cobbler cardstock is so elegant and doesn’t even have any calories! LOL

I began with a Whisper White card base and added a thin layer of Cherry Cobbler. Using the Cut and Emboss machine I embossed a piece of white cardstock with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I really love how the softness of these snowflakes brings out the elegance of this card.

I cut a square of Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White using the Layering Squares. The bells and the holly sprigs are cut from Shaded Spruce using the Cherish the Season Bundle. I added a Gold Metallic bow to the top of the bells.

TIP: This gold ribbon frays quite a bit, which I love when making tags, but not so much when it comes to bows for a card. I put a tiny bit of liquid glue on the both ends after cutting to stop the fraying.

Thanks for stopping by! Join me again tomorrow for more crafting tips and ideas. Until then, be blessed!
