Need a simple envelope as a holder for money or gift cards?

Our creativity-boosting Envelope Punch Board makes it easy to customize envelopes in up to 66 different sizes!  I used it to create a simple money holder for my grandchildren.  It is so easy with the Envelope Punch Board.   Here’s the Stampin’ Up! video on how to make an envelope using the punch board. I added a berry sprig so that Sydney (my granddaughter) would know that that one was for… Read More »

Santa came early this year!

My box of goodies were delivered by Santa about two weeks ago and I have not been able to use them!  With my headaches, it hard to concentrate and I haven’t stamped since my accident.  But I’m going to at least get them out of the box and into their proper places this weekend and try making a couple of cards.  So be on the look out for some sneak peeks! Most… Read More »

Weekly Deals 17 Dec 2013

I love the extra large gift boxes.  They are food safe so that you can put cookies (the home-made kind!) in them and give to that special someone.  I just bought several of them (3 to a package) a couple of weeks ago.  I’ve used the Gift Bow Die to and Season of Style Designer Series Paper to make the bow and ribbon. Weekly Deals – 17 through 23 December… Read More »

A gorgeous card using the Joyful Christmas Stamp Set

Well, I think it’s gorgeous anyway!  It’s a good thing I had a couple of extra cards made before I hit the ice on Saturday because I have not done any stamping since my accident.  I am still getting terrible headaches and I’m all out of pain medication (LOL)! I can’t even remember how made this card and I’ve already sent it on its way so I have nothing to… Read More »

Santa’s List (Card & Gift Box)

I’ve been playing around with the Santa’s List Stamp Set a lot lately.  To me it’s a vintage Santa but in this case, I decided to go modern. The ladies at Friday Big Shot Class made this card and the gift box from the Tag A Bag Gift Boxes.  If you live in Northwest Arkansas and would like to attend a class (2nd & 4th Friday of each month), please send… Read More »

Santa’s List

Are your friends and family looking for gift ideas for you?  It’s the dreaded question this time of year:  What do YOU want for Christmas? Your mind goes blank … you feel like Ralphie from A Christmas Story when he’s in Santa’s lap.  Don’t give up and tell them you want a mixer or a toaster or a vacuum cleaner when what you really want is crafty things like those from the Stampin’… Read More »

Tags for You

Don’t let a goodie bag or gift go out underdressed–add a tag and your bag or gift will be fashionably attired for any occasion. Make a stack ahead of time and keep them on hand for holidays, birthdays, anytime.  The stamp set has a tag for almost any occasion including Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. I was inspired by a card on Pinterest and tweaked it a little to… Read More »

Welcome Home

This is one of the cards I worked on while in New Orleans – it was inspired by one on Pinterest.  What I do is design/play around with the card on My Digital Studio and then when I get home, I print out the images I want from the My Digital studio.  I then add them to actual card stock and add the embellishments. Last time I used the Expressions… Read More »

Joyful Christmas – Marina Mist

Share Christmas joy and your best wishes for the new year with cards you make yourself. Some cardstock, a little bit of ink, and Joyful Christmas Stamp Set are all you need.  In this case, I used the Vellum Card Stock and Silver Embossing Powder.  I love, love the way this came out! Don’t know if you can see it but I colored the poinsettia with our Aqua painters and… Read More »
