I'm excited to share these Christmas gift tags we'll be making in the Special Christmas Wrapping class! They are so fun with their coordinating pouch for storage! I've seen a bunch of these pouches made before but this is the first time I've sat down to make one of my own. What took me so long?! Here are the fun tags we're going to be making with the Tags til Christmas stamp set for in the pouch. Aren't they fun! The tags that do not have "to: from:" on them have a Whisper White back so the information can be written on the back. Thank you for stopping by. I always love to see your Continue reading

If you have not already signed up for this class, you still have time! Check the dates and information listed below and contact me to let me know when you will be attending!

Stampin' Up! Stamping Event Prizes
I'm sorry my posts have been a bit sparse this week! My husband's grandmother passed away Sunday morning so we packed up the kids (3 boys ages 6, 4 and 2) and headed to upstate New York very early Tuesday morning and returned Thursday evening. Needless to say, the trip was very tiring! Believe it or not, I did take a little bit of stamping with me though! I didn't get a lot accomplished but a little. What you see above is what I worked on in New York as well as at PMS Night last night. I am making these little packs of Christmas gift tags for prizes at some of my upcoming events. Are Continue reading
Pink Ribbon of Hope
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so it seemed only appropriate to dig out my Ribbon of Hope stamp set and use it along with some pink. Unfortunately I didn't really have time so I was just sneaking a couple quick minutes I should have been using elsewhere. I'm sure I could have done most justice to this card if I'd had more time! This is a 3 inch square card but the really neat thing about it is that the stamped ribbon is actually a pin. The recipient of the card can take it off and wear it! Here's the pin by itself. If I'd had more time it would have been nice to use our Continue reading
Gift Card Giving Class Tin
I'm excited to show you another of the projects we're making in the Gift Card Giving Class! As soon as I saw these tins offered in the Stampin' Up! Clearance Blitz (which is now over) I knew we needed them! No, they don't come with those snowflakes on them, we're stamping them! You may be able to see the snowflakes a little better in this picture. They're from the Snow Swirled stamp set and we're stamping them on there with White Stazon ink! The nice part about this tin is that we're only putting the ribbon on the lid so you won't have to untie it to put the gift card in or take it Continue reading
Handmade Tea Light Candle Holders
I wanted to share another option in the Gifts to Give class. Participants may choose to create a fun tea light holder such as these. I have made several different options and class participants may choose the style they like. Here's a side view of the holders. Aren't they cute? Be sure to sign up for the Gifts to Give class so you can make one for yourself or as a gift! I'm so glad you stopped by today! Thank you! Continue reading
I made another Christmas Tree!
I made another Christmas Tree and just had to share it with you! I really wish you could see it in real life, it's so pretty! This time I used the Elegant Soiree DSP. It's really hard to decide which I like better, the elegant Soiree or the Deck the Halls. They're all so pretty! If you have not yet ordered your Christmas Tree Kit you'll want to check out the pictures and information. I'm so excited about the kits that have already sold, they are going to be headed to Georgia, Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Florida, Connecticut and of course Pennsylvania! Thank you for Continue reading
Dasher turned Rudolph Gift Card Holder
This cute ornament is another of our Gift Card Giving Class projects! We're taking Dasher and turning him into Rudolph with his bright red nose! Wouldn't this be lovely hanging on a Christmas tree or from a gift? I know I'd love to get one! When you open this lovely ornament there will hopefully be a fun gift card enclosed! (Note, I don't provide the gift cards - that's your job!) Of course you don't want to forget that you can purchase a Gift Certificate for Stampin' Up! from me and tuck that into one of these fun projects too! Thanks for stopping by today! Continue reading
Gift Card Giving Class Information
Today is the first day of the Gift Card Giving class and I'm very excited to share one of the projects with you! This is the more intricate of the projects but I just couldn't pass up offering this one to you! Don't you just love it? It's like a Coach purse! You know, I think I'd be as excited about receiving the little purse as I would be about the gift card inside it! I have a feeling this will quickly be a favorite among those taking the class! Now, all of the purses will be made using the Elegant Soiree DSP but keep in mind that not everyone's will look the same. I will try to Continue reading
Gifts to Give Whiteboard Option
Isn't this a cute whiteboard? This is another option for the Gifts to Give class being offered currently. You can see more information by visiting my post from yesterday. Here's a close up. We are using several different types of Stampin' Up! ribbon along with the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and Beautiful Wings embosslit Die. Once again, this was a favorite with the ladies who attended the class on Saturday! Thank you for taking the time to stop by today! I'm so excited about the orders I've received for the Christmas Tree Kit! Have you ordered yours yet? Be sure to check it Continue reading
Christmas Gifts to Give Class
Yesterday was the first session of the Gifts to Give class. We had a great time! I'm doing something a little different with this class. I have four gift options, class participants get to choose three. I figure we all like to have options and everyone's style is a little different! This is one of the options. Isn't it a beautiful container to give to a friend? There are lots of things that can be stored in here! The box is lined with Baja Breeze on the outside, bottom and inside. The Victoria ribbon, Very Vanilla Grosgrain and Early Espresso 1/8" taffeta set off the color in such a Continue reading
10 Minute Christmas Ornament Challenge
Sorry I'm late with my 10 minute Challenge this week. Life has been quite busy lately and it looks like it's only going to get busier! This is the inspiration I was given to work with for the challenge. The pictures of these Christmas ornaments were taken by fellow design team member, Debbie, at a place called Bronner's in Frankenmuth, MI. Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure I visited Bronner's when I lived in Michigan! Alright, it's time to get started. I decided to base my project around the Christmas bulb in the middle of the bottom row. The one with the candy cane and holly. Here Continue reading
