Today’s project is quick & simple and is inspired from our
Annual Catalog. This card is easy to make and could be recreated using a
variety of sentiments. I also demonstrate some basic masking to create this
card…check out the tutorial to see this card created from start to finish.
Enjoy!
I don't know if you've noticed but there are some really fantastic
project kits in our Holiday Catalog. The beauty of our project kits is they fit
the needs of any crafter, whether you're a beginner or avid. Home décor kits
are my favorite and this year’s Forever Evergreen Project Kit is the perfect
project to add a little handmade pizzazz to any area of your home!
The kit makes three trees in two sizes – one 13” tall, two 11” tall
– each individually trimmed with handmade ornaments.
Kit includes:
·Garden Green and Wild Wasabi die-cut cardstock tree pieces
·Cardstock ornaments
·Kraft, vanilla, and printed gold foil die-cut ornaments
·Gold foil and glitter die-cut stars
·Gold 1/8” ribbon
·Cherry Cobbler ¼” Natural Trim
·Cherry Cobbler Pompom Trim
·Linen Thread
·Cherry Cobbler honeycomb balls
·Gold faceted sequin garland
·Die-cut wood snowflakes
·Ornament hooks
·Plastic dowels
How fun would it be if you and some of your friends each ordered
this kit and assembled your trees together?! Umm…super fun! Here are some
additional supplies you will need to complete the project…each of you could
split the cost of these additional supplies and share them!
Check out the video tutorial for tips on how to assemble this kit.

If you haven’t purchased the Christmas Pines stamp set, you’re
missing out! I love this set! It has tons of fabulous images and fun holiday
greetings. PLUS, it’s on sale for 25% OFF until the end of November!! Awesome, right?!
Today’s project is a card I designed for a leaders swap I’m
participating in with my team. My favorite thing about this card is it’s yet
another way to use up loads of washi.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I know many of you look
forward to my Stampin' Up! Saturday tutorial, but this weekend I decided to
take Saturday off to spend time with family. It was well worth the time off. My
honey works over the road and was able to be home for just one day this week. I
was able to spend most of Sunday in my craft room working on fun projects to
share with you all.
I finally got to play around with the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set. I was a huge fan of the Cookie Cutter Halloween set, so I'm hoping to be equally as inspired by this one. I came up with these cute, quick, and simple Christmas cards.
Project Supplies
Each card base was cut 5.5” by 8.5”, scored at 4.25”. I stamped the
snowflake image, from the Christmas Pines stamp set, in the background using Mint
Macaron ink.
I layered a piece of the Presents and Pinecones Designer Series
Paper (2” x 4.25”) on top of Cherry Cobbler cardstock (2.5” x 4.25”).
A fun holiday greeting was stamped from the Presents and Pinecones
stamp set using Emerald Envy Ink. The cute reindeer were stamped in Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and punched out using the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.
Six loops of
Gold Metallic Thread was placed in some adhesive on the designer paper.
Dimensionals were placed on the back of each reindeer before adding them on top
of the metallic thread. To finish off these adorable cards, I used the leg
portion of the builder punch to cut out a sparkly nose for each reindeer using
Red Glimmer Paper.
Where has the time gone?! I can't believe it's the end of October already! Oh, well, one good thing is I get to share my customer thank you cards...which just so happens to be one of my favorite things each month!
Every month I design a handmade card to send to everyone who shopped in my Online Stampin' Up! Store that month. I attach a sticky note with a hand written message to each, so that I can leave the card blank for your own personal use. I truly enjoy making these cards each month and I'm so thankful for each and everyone of you for helping to support me and my business!
