The Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar Day 2: Give Compliments!

Hope you enjoy a wonderful day! I'm treating a special friend to a birthday lunch.

Easy for a man: Remembering Christmas

 

I think this is the perfect manly Christmas card for those single guys we all know. This Remembering Christmas card is earmarked for my neighbor.

 

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Composition Specialty paper, rounding the corners before attaching it to a Chocolate Chip card front. Then I inked up the deer and stamped it on a Very Vanilla piece of card stock that was die-cut using one Apothecary Accent framelit. The sentiment is from the hostess set, Warmth & Wonder. This is card design 1 of 5 used for this morning's 10-card Christmas class. I've made so many Christmas cards already that I'm giving them away! lol

 

I've got a new hostess code for October - VEHSYQRR. Use it on any and every Online Order this month when you go through my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net and you'll be entered into a drawing for the hostess goodies at my Nov. 1 drawing.

 

 

A simple decoration for any day - a wide-mouth jar of wooden spools and thread with a zinc lid. See more vintage decorations at http://www.facebook.com/booth6goods. And have a great day!



O Holy Night Christmas card

 

O Holy Night is a single Christmas stamp that says so much - especially when you highlight a word with a banner! It's also one of my favorite Christmas songs.

 

I used a sketch challenge when designing this card, starting with a Very Vanilla card base, adding a square of Soft Suede card stock and strips of Pink Pirouette and Crisp Cantaloupe. Note: The card looks better if the strips are embossed (I used the Square Lattice embossing folder) and the brown layer is not. I cut a rectangle, rounded the top corners and added a knot of crochet trim. This is card design 10 - the last one! - from my 20-card class. Tomorrow, I'll share cards from my 10-card Christmas class this morning.

 

Congrats to Kelly!

She's the winner of my Oct. 1 drawing for hostess benefits!

Enjoying Warmth & Wonder

 

I used markers (Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip) to color this image from the Warmth & Wonder hostess set in the Holiday Catalog.

 

This was another design from my 20-card Christmas class last week. It uses the Pretty Print embossing folder (item 132175, $7.95), as well as a strip of Season of Style designer paper on an Old Olive card.

Map It Out with newest photopolymer stamp set

 

I love the map of the US in the newest photopolymer stamp set Stampin' Up! has released. You can see the flyer here. The stamp set is called Map It Out (Item 134620, $13.95).

 

What do photopolymer stamps have to offer?

 

They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time!

They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last.

Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.

They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time.

I could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

Halloween Bash, Toil and Trouble for swap

 

Merjaba and Karşılama to my friends in Turkey! I'm happy you are here. How cute is that tiny spider on the word Halloween? Love it!
 

Before I forget, I have a 20-card class - all Christmas cards - this Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11-2 p.m. The cost is $20, which includes envelopes and light refreshments. I need to know by Sept. 18 (Weds.) if you and a friend plan on attending. Just email me at ericandterry@comcast.net. Thanks!

 

 

I chose to use the raven from Toil & Trouble and two stamps from the Halloween Bash set for this Halloween swap. I started with a Basic Black card and added a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Witches' Brew designer paper. I cut a few 1" strips for the flags - making sure each card had a spider on the far right flag. Of course I used a few punches (Designer Label, Oval Scallop, and 1-3/4" Circle) to make this card too.

 

You may order all of these products, along with Clearance Rack items, via my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net. Please use this hostess code to be entered into a drawing for FREE hostess goodies - AKS76R6P.

Halloween blog hop; August freebies winner!

 

Though the temps are still in the 70s, the hours of daylight are shorter and it feels like the end of summer. One neighbor asked me over to pick blueberries in her yard today. A second brought over some zucchinis, so I baked several loaves of zucchini bread - some with walnuts and some with chocolate chips - as well as 24 muffins. My hubby delivered two loaves to my neighbor, who also shared some beautiful tomatoes with us. We could have our own little farmers' market here in my neighborhood. That would be sweet!

 

 

 

Welcome to the Fright Night Blog Hop. My downline, Sherry, had the great idea for the hop. You might've come from Pearl's blog. But if this is your first stop, no worries. You can start anywhere and not miss a thing!

 

For my project, I'm sharing a Halloween sampler - a home decor item - that may be as sweet or creepy as you wish.

 

 

Here's a better look at the sampler. Everything is Stampin' Up! product except for the shadow box frame, which I bought at a craft store for $5. Instead of buying a new frame for each holiday, I can simply take out the straight pins holding the Modern Medley designer paper and everything adhered to it to the velvet backing and pin a new sampler! I love that. I used the Halloween Bash and Halloween Hello stamp sets in the Holiday Catalog (page 21), along with ultrafine black glitter (page 20).

  

Congratulations to Judy Q. in New York for winning my August Mystery Hostess freebies!

Many thanks to the rest of you who participated. Here's the hostess code to use for your Online Orders with me in September: AKS76R6P.
