Last of the Christmas Cards!!!

Here are the last of the Handmade Christmas Cards I received.

This is a great card from Jill Caccia. I am pretty sure this was a Stampin Up set that retired! Let me know the name of it if you know it! I love the holly leaves in the corner. What fun it was to receive this in the mail!!!

 

Check out this awesome card that Julie Piesciuk sent me. Julie is a member of my team and more importantly is a wonderful friend! She made it using My Digital Studio, this card is so awesome and she did a great job!! I love My Digital Studio, it makes all the projects you do look so professional and it is so easy to use. Contact me for details on this awesome program. Thanks Julie,  you are amazing!!!

 

This is an amazing card from Dawn Werfelmann, a dear friend of mine.  I don't think it photoed well. It is so elegant. The gold embossing on Rich Razzleberry card stock is so awesome with the Holy Triptych stamp set. She sprayed the card stock with a combination of alcohol and shimmer paint. Let me tell you it is beautiful!!! Thanks Dawn!!!! Thankfully you are still able to order shimmer paint after the mini catalog retires.  Well I am sad that Christmas is over but it was so fun!!!!! Now we have salebration to look forward to right around the corner!

Gift Ideas from Stampin Up

 

There are only 17 days left until Christmas! Do you still have loved ones to buy gifts for?  Here are a few suggestions:

• My Digital Studio is a great gift for teens! They'll love making scrapbook pages, cards, and calendars for friends using the simple software. Plus when you order this exciting software suite, you'll receive a free Décor Elements piece valued up to $16.95!

• Simply Sent card kits are a great ready-to-wrap gift and have everything you need to complete 10 cards. This is the perfect last-minute gift for card makers or people you think may like making cards!

• Anyone who has a Big Shot will want the Alphabet Simple Letters Bigz die. It can cut through a variety of materials including vinyl, chipboard, and felt. This makes a great gift for a seamstress who would like to sew custom appliquéd pieces on her projects, someone who wants to create their own vinyl phrases to personalize her home décor, or any paper crafter who uses letters. And when you purchase this item, you qualify for a free Décor Elements piece valued up to $16.95!

• Add the final touch to your gift that says "I was thinking of you when I bought this gift" by personalizing it with Décor Elements. Add an Upsy Daisy Décor Elements to a laptop or cut it apart and apply it to a cell phone. Put all of the toys from Santa together in one container and add the So Many Toys Décor Elements to it, or use individual letters to add monograms and names to your gifts. These extra special touches won't go unnoticed.

2 More Stampin Up Gift Tags / Note Cards

Here are the 2 other gift tags / note tags that I made.

 I saved my favorite for last I love the one that has the 2 ornaments on it form the Delightful Decorations Stamp set. (#116517 $21.95) This stamp set has a punch that matches and makes it so easy to make cards like this. (Ornament Punch #116794 $15.95 ) Both of these are only available until January 4th. So be sure to order yours before it is too late. Contact me or click order online at the right.

Stampin Up Note cards / Gift Tags

I made some cute note cards or they can be used as gift tags. They were really simple and easy to make. Start out with 3" x 6" card stock and fold it in half. I cut very vanilla card stock to 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and ran it through the Big Shot with the Petals of Plenty embossing folder (LOVE THIS buy it now before it is gone item # 116824 $7.95) I then attached a snowflake die to one and punched out 2  5 petal punches to make the poinsettia flower. Quick and simple!!!! I have 2 more fun cards to share tomorrow and saved my favorite one! Check back tomorrow.
