ALWAYS THANKUL LAST CHANCE!

This card is made with the Always Thankful Stamp Set available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog, and it is only available to order until January 3, 2012.

This stamp set is very versatile and can be used to make awesome masculine cards! For this card, I stamped the image in Black Staz-On Ink and then watercolored it. I also used the Square Lattice Embossing Folder for the Big Shot to add some texture to the background.

TAKE IT TO HEART SNEAK PEEK!

Here is another sneak peek at a stamp set in the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.

This card is a CASE (copy and share everything) from another demonstrator, named Julie Davison. I used a different embossing folder, but I love her idea, so I stuck close to what she did.

This card features the Take It To Heart stamp set, Heart Framelits and some new Designer Series Paper and pleated ribbon~~all available in the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog!

A TOTALLY A-MAZE-ING SNEAK PEEK!

This is another Sneak Peek card made with the Totally A-Maze-Ing stamp set, available soon in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog!

This card it a CASE (copy and share everything) of the card that is the mini catalog! I added a background stamp for a little more texture. This card also uses a Maze Game piece. This stamp set and these little game pieces are super fun!

TOTALLY A-MAZE-ING SNEAK PEEK!

With the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog making it's debut on January 4th, 2012, it's time for some sneak peeks!

This is a card I made with the Totally A-Maze-Ing stamp set and a Maze Game piece. I remember these little maze games from when I was a kid, and they are just as mezmorizing now! For this card I also used one of the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders for the Big Shot.

PERHAPS HAVE FOUND A PHOTO SOLUTION!

Well, I have been working and working on a solution to my photo problem, and I hope I have found something that may work. I will start to post again over the next few days and see if my photos are better than they were.

Thank you for being patient!

GIANT CANDY CANE TREATS!

I saw a great Santa stick posted on Becky Roberts blog, and when I found these really, really big candy sticks at Kroger (they're really like clubs), I knew they would be perfect for making that Santa. I made the Santa, and then I took it a couple steps further and made the Grinch and a Happy Elf.





You know how much I love my Stampin' Up! punches and, of course, my Big Shot, and this is a perfect example of how much you can do with these items. I thought these guys turned out so cute that I decided to share them with my demonstrator friends at our last get together.

THE STAMPIN' UP! STOCKING PUNCH IS MAKING ITS LAST APPEARANCE!

This stocking builder punch is available for a limited time only!

Once the current stock of Stampin' Up! Stocking Builder Punches has been depleted, it will no longer be available! I know I will miss it, and I'm sure you will want to have it in your stash, so be sure to order it while supplies last!

This is just one of the many cards I made with my Stocking Builder Punch!



This punch is so versatile you can use it to make baby booties, reindeer, a stick horse.... the possibilities are endless! Don't be left without this great punch~~click the link below today and order it before it disappears!

STAMPIN' UP! MINI CATALOG CHRISTMAS LODGE!

This card is so simple yet has an elegant look to it! I am a big fan of the quick and easy card that looks like it took a long time to create.

We made this card in my last Holiday Stamp-A-Stack, and my customers loved it. I used the Christmas Lodge stamp set, which is available in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set. I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to give it a little "bling"!
