I've shared boxes similar to this one that had both 3x3 cards and Christmas gift tags together. This time I decided to put cards in each of the four spots. There is 5 of each card design and of course enough envelopes for all the cards. If you notice, I stamped snowflakes in the lower right corner of the acetate lid using White Stazon Ink and then satin ribbon topped off the entire package beautifully! I spent a wonderful day stamping with 12 other demonstrators today! We made so many fun projects and I can't wait to share them with you! Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to share the Continue reading
Stamped Tile Coaster Set & Box
Don't you love this cardinal? He is from an old, retired stamp set called Christmas Cardinal. I am about to offer this stamp set for sale, simply because I need to clear out retired sets, but I really like him, he looks very regal. It is hard to see here, but in person the cardinal and leaves shimmer due to the shimmer paint. (We'll be learning about that at the Technique Club this month!) The cardinal is the top of a box to hold a set of tile coasters. This is a chipboard box that can be found in many craft sections, I just covered it with cardstock. Once again, you can't tell in the Continue reading
Stacked JOY Block Decor
I made this set of JOY blocks today. Wouldn't this make a great Christmas Decor item in any home? I used Photo Cubes picked up from a local dollar spot to make the blocks. The blocks come apart and then the DSP is inside. I used the Serif Essentials die to cut the letters out of Chocolate Chip cardstock and then covered them with Iridescent Ice embossing powder to give them a little glitter. I decided to use some ribbon to tie the blocks together. In my house it's important to have things tied together or the kids will be taking it all apart! I believe I'm going to take this to the Continue reading

More Stampin' Up! Ribbon Weaving
Here's another sample of ribbon weaving like I promised (the front view this time)! I had a lot of fun making this wreath and it took very little time! The wreath is somewhere between 7 and 8 inches in diameter. I have a lot of Certainly Celery Twill ribbon left over from Sale-A-Bration last year so that's what I used for the wreath and then decorated it with both wide and narrow Real Red grosgrain ribbon. I think it looks a lot better in real life, the picture just doesn't do it justice. Once I had the weaving done I had to come up with a way to keep the circular shape of the wreath Continue reading
Christmas Ribbon Wreath Card
I'm excited to show you this card, I've had it made for a couple days now and I've been wanting to get it on here for you. The Christmas wreath you see there is made from ribbon! The ribbon weaving I used here is very simple to do and a whole lot of fun! What you see is actually the back of the weave, I decided I liked the look of the back better than the front for this card. Tomorrow I will be showing you another project with this weave and then you'll be able to see the front. It does not take a lot of time but it does take a decent amount of ribbon. To make this card I used some Continue reading
Stamping with the MS Society
I am greatly looking forward to stamping picture frames, just like this one, and Christmas cards with the MS Society today! I think they're going to be a bit hit! Once again I went with the colors of Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum and Bashful Blue. I hope you're not tired of seeing those colors together with this stamp set yet, I love them together! If you don't know what I'm talking about, visit my post on Handstamped Christmas Gift Packaging. The picture in the frame was just taken on Monday of our family. The boys were "fun" when it came to the camera but I think in the end the pictures Continue reading

JOY Handstamped Christmas Card
I wanted to share a Christmas card I came up with a while back. I debated using this as one of the cards for the Christmas Card classes but then decided against it for various reasons. This card was made with Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla cardstock, and Merry Moments DSP. The Certainly Celery you see is twill ribbon from last years Sale-A-Bration. "JOY" was cut with Serif Essentials Alphabet die and the Big Shot. A few brads for the Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware finished off the card. I hope thise will spur on your creativity! Don't forget to check out the Holiday Extravaganza Continue reading
Handmade Gift Tags for the Presents
Yesterday I showed you some fun Christmas packaging and today we're going to focus on labeling who those gifts are for! I've had a bunch of fun making the tags you see here and more. All of the tags sets I'm going to show you contain 12 tags and are packaged in medium cellophane bags (found on page 159 of the Idea Book & Catalog) with a stamped topper I made out of a 4"x4" square of cardstock. These little bags are wonderful for party favors, a quick little thank you gift for a hostess, teacher gifts and more! This set was made with the Christmas Punch stamp set. I used Real Red and Continue reading

The stamp sets are Serene Snowflake, Four the Holidays and Delightful Decorations. I bought a 2-pack of white gift bags at the local dollar store for just a dollar, of course I couldn't leave it white though! After stamping the bag I cut the snowflake Continue reading
