Season of Cheer Rub-Ons--Last Day to Save 20%

Today is the last day to save 20% on all Stampin' Up! Rub-Ons!  With a purchase of $20, you can save 20% on ALL of the Rub-Ons!

I used one of the Season of Cheer Rub-Ons to create a "Santa List".  I think this list would be ideal to add to a scrapbook page.  That's why I added the oval punch with "Christmas 2008".  Make sure you have your kids write their own lists--that way you are capturing their handwriting too! 

   

If you don't plan to add your list to a scrapbook, you can add a magnet (I used a business card size magnet) so that you can hang it from the fridge for convenience. 

I hope you like this project.  Thanks for the visit!!

Holiday Extravaganza and FREE Shipping Special--good only until Monday, December 1!!

Taffy Apple Card

I can't believe I never posted this card!  It was a card we made back in October for World Card Making Day.  I don't remember where I first saw this type of card--but the idea is not my original one.  I used a stencil to make the shape of the apple and then I freehanded my "caramel".  Now I know that the caramel is not true to life--each one of my boys (that's 3 boys) had to tell me that I had it upside down.  Gosh I love being told what's what by my cuties, lol!!

   

We traced the apple pattern on Real Red card stock that's been folded--that way the fold was there.  We traced the caramel pattern on Creamy Caramel card stock.  Then we pressed it into Versamark and embossed with Glassy Glaze Enamel Embossing Powder.  This provided some shine and texture.  The "stick" is Chocolate Chip punched on one side with the Word Window Punch.  It's sandwiched between the apple and caramel.

I think this apple would make a really cute banner too.  You could use it for any fall theme party, Thanksgiving or Halloween.  So, put that in your "project idea book" for next year!

Thanks for the visit!

Blogger's Challenge--Inspiration Card

Happy Friday!  To those of you brave enough to battle the crowds--I wish you luck shopping!  For the rest of us, let's celebrate Blogger's Challenge!  Yeah!

This week's challenge is to use this photo as inspiration for our card.

 

I was mostly inspired by the colors which I think look like Really Rust, Gold and Very Vanilla.  The flourish design made me think of Baroque Motifs.  So here's my take on the inspiration.

 

To create the background, I used Really Rust ink on Really Rusht card stock.  To create the focal point, I used the Gold Encore pad to stamp the flourish.  "Wonderful" is heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

I hope you are inspired by this Inspiration challenge.  Inspiration is all around us.  What inspires you??

Thanks for the visit!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! 

 

I chose "friendship" for my card because I am thankful for all the friends and people I have met thru my website.  I haven't personally met a lot of you, but I have truly enjoyed talking with you on the phone.  And, of course, all the local friends that I see regularly at classes--thank you.  You really are a very bright part of my life!!!  OK, I'm getting all mushy and choked up here!  lol

One last group of people I would like to thank and send "happy hugs" to--the men and women that are without family today because they are protecting our country and freedom.  THANK YOU!!!  And to your families--thank you too!!!!  What a blessing all of you are!!!

Thanks for the visit!!!

Jolliest Time of the Year

I decided to participate in the Sketch Challenge on SCS.  I grabbed my Santa since I haven't used him for a while.  Here's the result.

 

Doesn't he make you smile?  It's a little hard to see, but I made all of his white "fluff" sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  I used Stampin' Write Markers to color Santa and then just blended the colors a little with my Aqua Painter.

If you want to make this card, you'll need the following products:

Stamp Sets:  Jolliest Time of the Year, Season of Friendship (the snowflake is stamped on the Real Red card stock)

Inks:  Black Stazon, Real Red

Stampin' Write Markers:  Real Red, Basic Black, Old Olive, Blush Blossom

Card Stock:  Baja Breeze, Real Red, Old Olive, Ski Slope DSP, Watercolor Paper

Accessories:  Aqua Painter, 2 Way Glue, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Stampin' Dimensionals

Vikki's Cards

Vikki gave me permission to post her cards from the contest last week.  I think they both are quite adorable.  I really like the Voila Chef though! 

 

 

Even though the same supplies (card stock dimensions) are used, you could send both cards to the same person and he/she would never know because the colors and stamp sets are different.  So...when you are stuck, go find a layout that you like and use it!

Thanks for the visit!!

Deer Friends--Easy and Quick Card

Here's one more project from November's Stamp Camp.  This one went together really quickly.  The colors are inspired by the Frosty Days Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini catalog.

But, hurry!  The FREE stamp set with $350 order is only good until Sunday, November 30.

Don't forget to fill out your Christmas Wish List.  If you want to be in the drawing for the FREE stamp set from my retired bin, you have to your list filled out completely to me by November 30.  You can snail mail or email it to me, whichever is easiest for you!
