Gift idea you can make #1: Sparkly snowflake earrings

 

What a great pair of holiday earrings! They are so sparkly and radiant - who'd guess they were made using some Stampin' Up! embellishments? I love them. This is what I made for the gift exchange at my American Ink group's annual Christmas party that was on Saturday. I even made myself an extra pair.
And Mary Ann made a pair of earrings AND a necklace! Fun!!!

I love Santa's List!

 

This fun little banner is from a hostess set called Perfectly You. There are stamps for many occasions in the set.



 

It's so quick and easy to create a cute Christmas card with the Santa's List stamp set and banners. This one uses a 2-1/2" x 5-1/4" piece of Season of Style designer paper. The only ink is a Real Red pad, and I used the 2-1/2" circle punch for the main image.

 

My kids are eagerly counting down the days till their Winter Break - 10 as of today! I hope you enjoy your Monday.

Pairing new with old Christmas stamps

 

Cute little images are so fun to mix and match with washi tape for quick and easy Christmas cards like this one!

 

This was one of my designs for a Christmas card class. The little images are from the now retired Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set. The images were stamped, punched out using a circle punch, then adhered over the washi tape with dimensionals. If you're pressed for time, this is a great layout to work with. And if you don't have washi tape, use strips of designer paper! The big sentiment is from the Joy to the World stamp set, which is in the Holiday Catalog.

 

There's less than a month left to order what you'd like from that catalog. You may order anytime thru my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net. Don't forget to use this hostess code - 3XTCDNG6 - and you'll be entered into my January 1 drawing for free SU! product. Thanks! Enjoy your Sunday.

Bringing on Winter Memories

 

I pulled out one of my favorite vintage-looking Christmas stamp sets for my 10-card Christmas class Saturday. It's called Winter Memories, and it includes these fabulous ice skates as one of the 5 stamps in the set.

 

This Crumb Cake card has an embossed front, a knot of natural trim and some distressing around the Blushing Bride Oval. The skates were stamped in Early Espresso ink and there's a warm and wonderful Christmas sentiment stamped inside (and no photo of it, sorry).

 

I'm currently selling this stamp set and many other holiday stamps on Ebay, so check them out if you're looking for a retired set you'd wished you'd purchased "back when." Thanks!

Color me happy with Color Me Christmas stamps

 

Color Me Christmas is such a fun Christmas stamp set. I paired the tree with Season of Style designer paper. I colored the tree with markers above - Crushed Curry, Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar - after stamping it in Jet Black StazOn. 

 

This card uses the flip side of the same designer paper, and I went with a monochromatic look using Cherry Cobbler for the ornaments and sentiment, which comes from the More Merry Messages stamp set.

Peace on Earth and Label Card Thinlit

 

This sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set is one of my holiday favorites. I paired it with the Label Card Thinlit for a quick and easy card.



 

I started with a 6" x 6" piece of Island Indigo card stock and added a 1-1/4" strip of Winter Frost Specialty Paper (one of the shiny patterns). Then I used a snowflake stamp from the Just Believe set in White Craft Ink to add my own pattern on the left. This was one of the designs at my 10-card Christmas class yesterday. I had a great group of women there and truly enjoyed the afternoon.

Color Me Christmas for a happy card

 

I love a well-dressed reindeer! This little guy from the Color Me Christmas stamp set (page 32 of the Holiday Catalog) is just so cute. I used a blender pen and ink pads to add color.

 

I started with a Wild Wasabi card and added strips of Cherry Cobbler card stock (embossed with the Stylish Stripes folder - item 132174, $7.95) and Season of Style paper stack (item 132181, $6.95). The sentiment is stamped on Baked Brown Sugar card stock. I CASE'd this card from fellow SU! demo Nicole Tugrul.

 

As you know, Black Friday is upon us. I avoid stores at all cost since I don't like the crowds and craziness, and you can too. Stampin' Up! is having some wonderful deals on great products - and will be adding a couple more online for Cyber Monday - when you can get all kinds of specials when ordering online. Here are the current SU! specials:
