This stamp set is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Anything in the SAB catty you can get FREE with a purchase of $50. This will continue through the end of March and starts on January 5th. You can reach me here if you would like to schedule a workshop at your home or mine. Additional hostess rewards throughout the 3 month period also.

As always, with a little creativity you can make the kit into just about anything you can dream up! We even turned it into an adorable mini scrapbook. Separate your photos by month, punch some holes, and you’ve got an instant scrapbook for 2016.

Or, you could easily turn those gorgeous background papers into card fronts. There are so many beautiful colors and patterns to choose from. Anyone would love to get this card from you!

Check out this adorable birthday card with the stamp set. Highlight a specific date to make someone feel super special.

Got to add that I purchased this on Wednesday the 23rd and it sold out on the 24th. This is the most popular kit so far. I cancelled my December because I assumed it would be Valentine cards and I already have so many of them. Was I surprised when I found out about this calendar. Holie Molie! Never gonna do that again, cancel that is.
I love this set, called Timeless Textures. It is one of those sets that keeps on giving. It reminds me a lot of our wonderful Gorgeous Grunge. It has all different kinds of textures. You are going to love it. Hopefully, it will be a set that is carried year to year. Except for the Washi tape, everything is from the new catty.

We rec’d this card in the mail and it was from our Daughter Mo. We were so blown away by it I thought I would use it for my Christmas Post today. I think she did an incredible job with the coloring and I love the sky and the black glimmer paper really sets it off. This set you can still get, maybe not for this year but you can always save it for next year. All Ye Faithful on page 20 in the HC.
From our family to yours, hope y’all have a blessed Christmas!

This is one of those dies that you will love to use if you have the precision plate. Now I have cut it out without the precision plate but it so much easier when you have the right tools. In addition to the Precision plate we have a new tool coming out in the Occasions catalog. It is the Big Shot Die Brush. This little item removes those chards in a snap.

I love this little guy from the DSP Home for Christmas, page 9 of the HC. Our SU artists really did a fantastic job designing our Holiday Designer Paper. The wreath, embossed in gold, is from the set Peaceful Wreath, page 21. The Gold Vellum paper is from the AC, page 149. The gold Sequins are from the Metallics Sequins, page 160 of the AC.

Today is Jack’s birthday and I couldn’t wait to make his card with this new set that you will be able to get in the Occasions catty when it is released in the beginning of January. It has the matching dies and also has a banner for one liners. Just Awesome! And how do you like this DSP? Totally awesome also!

So sad that this set, page 21, will be retiring at the end of this Holiday catty. I ebossed the wreath with gold embossing powder and fussy cut the reindeer from the DSP, Home for Christmas. The Fancy Foil vellum paper can be found on page 149 of the AC. The sentiment is from the set Sparkly Seasons, page 40 HC.
PS: The die cut banner is from the NEW Occasions catty coming soon.

Hey Stampers, this is a fantastic set called Party Wishes that will be in the upcoming Occasions catalog. You will get yours in the mail towards the end of this month. If you haven’t rec’d it by January, then contact me and I will get one out to you.
Along with this catalog comes the new Sale-A-Bration catalog which you know is the most wonderful catty of all because everything in it is FREE. With a $50 purchase you may select any one of the great sets or embellishments. AND what’s even more awesome you can keep selecting FREE stuff with every $50 purchase. So if you have a $150 workshop, your home or mine, select 3 FREE sets plus get an additional $40 FREE merchandise of your chossing from either the Occasions, or Annual catties.

I love both these sets, page 17 & 33 of the HC. In addition, I fussy cut the little reindeer from the DSP, Home for Christmas, page 9. They are so stinkin’ cute! The tree was cut out with the matching framelits from Perfect Pines framelits, page 16. I also used the bling, Winter Wonderland, page 23 of the HC.

In case you miss sending out Christmas cards this year because you were so busy, why not send New Year’s cards? I started receiving NY cards last year, so I guess it is kinda of a new tradition. Makes sense. This card was created with the wreath from the stamp set, Peaceful Wreath on page 21 of the HC and also the matching framelits Wonderful Wreaths, page 172 of the AC. I used the gold thin Metalic thread, page 159 AC and the sentiment from the Hostess set, Six Sayings. This is such a dynamite set for the Holidays and you can get it by hosting a work shop in your home or mine. It is from the Holiday catalog. Contact me HERE.

I was short this year and had to make up some more cards at the last minute and this was one of them. Usually, I have so many samples from my card making classes and clubs that I don’t need to. I generally send them to people out of town but I noticed that a lot of people no longer send Christmas cards.
I get a lot of email type cards. I am sure you know the kind. Where you click on it and it brings you to a singing card or a beautiful Christmas card online. That is not good for business.LOL I will keep making and sending cards for as long as I can. I think it is extra special for someone to go to the mail box and find a hand written card. It takes a lot more effort to create a card and means so much more to the recipient, don’t you agree?

Don’t miss out on this great year end sale. Go HERE to see what’s hot!

Jolly Christmas Card w/ Reindeer Clip Embellishment
Hello my friends! I’m wrapping up a whirlwind week of classes, a team party, and home renovations. Yep, we are renovating again – insert eyeroll. It seems once you open pandora’s box of home updates and repairs it’s impossible to close. Maybe we can resolve to have 2016 be renovation free. Good grief, I hope so.
Today’s card is one I made with my SE Calgary Stampin’ Up! Card Club ladies in November. I’m a big fan of the Jolly Christmas stamp set. I just can’t seem to get enough of it, and I LOVE it with the sentiment coloured all bright and fun with my Stampin’ Write Markers!
Did you notice that fun Reindeer Clip? Isn’t he just darling with a Red Pompom nose?!
All of these items are now while supplies last, so make sure you head over to my Canadian Online Stampin’ Up! Shop to get your must haves before they’re sold out.
Have an amazing weekend! I’ll see you back here on Monday!
Happy Stampin’

I used the Star embossing folder on the back ground and the beautiful gold cording trim, page 24 of the HC. In addition, I used the vellum Winter Wonderland paper stack, page 23, in back of the tree. The stamp set, Peaceful Pines, page 17 ,with the matching dies. Colors are Whisper White and Lost Lagoon.

My WA ladies & Gentlemen asked me to make a card for our Instructor for Christmas. They usually take up a collection for her and they knew I was a card maker. So this is what I made for her. It is a 5″X7″ because we need enough room for all to sign the card. We usually present it to her at our Christmas Party held at Alhambra Hall every year! Hope y’all like it! AND.. in case you are wondering, no one that I do WA with knows about my blog so she will not see this. LOL

This was taken last night at our annual Christmas party. We had such a great time. The Chinese Exchange was awesome, the food great and the swaps were the best! Several ladies missing from this photo. Our next meeting, shooting for February, will be a shoe box swap. Hopefully everyone will make that one!

The holiday season is here! And you know what that means, it’s time to deck the halls, trim the tree, and as Ol’ Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra sang so beautifully, “Oh, by gosh, by golly. It’s time for mistletoe and holly.” And we couldn’t be more excited to haul out the holly! Our November kit, Mistletoe and Holly, is full of fun surprises to help you spread some holiday cheer.

It’s a beautiful kit for sure! And what’s even more beautiful is the fact that you can get creative and change the kit up. Try using just the kit contents to create alternative projects like this cute card.

With just a few extra supplies, turn one card base into a tiny treat bag. Add some sparkle with Gold Basic Metal Buttons, Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and Gold Glimmer Paper.

Don’t worry: the fun doesn’t stop when your supplies run out. Keep creating with the stamp set and your other Stampin’ Up! products, like Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and the Winter Wonderland Embellishments.

Change the color scheme add some Season of Cheer Designer Washi Tape and silver confetti stars to step up the glamour!

What do you love most about this time of year and what do you love most about this kit? Don’t forget, current subscribers can get a refill kit (while supplies last).

Another beautiful set from the new Spring catalog soon to be released. We did this card as a M&T at on-stage also. I love this DSP because you can stamp on it and actually cut out the images on it from the Botanical Builder framelits. It is the most awesome combination of stamps and dies that I have ever seen. The DSP is to die for, and you know the catalog never does justice to the actual paper once you see it in person. The set is called Botanical Blooms.

We had a class on this and everyone loved making these tags. Here is Sara on TV showing the kit!
