This simply but elegant holiday card was created using the Serene Snowflake stampset from the Holiday Mini, the Not Quite Navy paper and the patterned paper from the Bella Bleu designer series paper pack. 

The snowflake was stamped in Craft White Ink and then covered with White Embossing Powder. Then heated. Then the piercing tool was used to put a whole in the center of the snowflake so the Filigree brad could be placed.

Then the patterned paper and the Not Quite Navy cardstock were adhered together to make a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of paper. 

The Scallop Edge punch was used on the Not Quite Navy cardstock and then the small strip from the punched edge was also used in the sample instead of being thrown away! Vintage Brads were placed in the bottom to the right (and through the patterned paper. 

Then the panel was adhered to the card front (Very Vanilla cardstock) using SNAIL Adhesive.

Really a quick card but I still love the way it looks!

Other Suggestions

• To create this card even faster, skip the scalloped edge and instead just wrap Taffeta ribbon around the front and adhere in the back.
• Then simply adhere brads in the lower right corner of the patterned paper or just skip them altogether.

Happy Holidays!

So first, I cut a 5-1/4 x 10-1/2 piece of Soft Suede (but Close to Cocoa could have been used as well as Chocolate Chip) and scored in half. Then cut a patterned pieceof paper from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper collection.

Next I placed a few snowflakes (rub-ons) towards the top of the thin-striped patterened paper, and then border rub-ons at the bottom.  I used the Two-Way Glue Pen to then adhere Dazzling Diamonds to the snowflakes.

Lastly, I punched three ornaments from different papers in the Christmas Cocoa pack, punch a whole a the top of the ornament to tie a bow, laid the string (silver cord) which will appear linked to each ornament, and then adhered each ornament using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Other Suggestions:

• Try White Embossing Powder.
• Add a greeting.
• Stamp snowflakes using the Serene Snowflake stamp set or use the new wheels in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
• Use the Merry & Bright rub-ons collection with the ornaments.

The Only Ovals stamp set is one of my favorites because it has a coordinating oval punch.  The punch makes this card quick to make and the two earth tones are perfect for the fall.  The finished size is a 4" x 4" notecard that still fits in a standard envelope. 

Supplies Used:

Only Ovals stamp set (#111666)

Wide Oval punch (#112082)

Chocolate Chip ink ( #100908) and Old Olive ink (#102277)

This Owl Treat Bag is sure to please the old and the young alike.  The bag topper is made using the Big Shot Top Note Die in Chocolate Chip cardstock and the following punches:  Round Tab in Creamy Caramel, 5 Petal Punch in Pumpkin Pie, 3/4" circle in Barely Banana, 1/2" circle in Whisper White, and 1/4" circle in Basic Black.  Here is a picture of the different punches:

Please email me if you have any questions.  Of course, my favorite part is the Hershey’s kisses in the small flat cello bag!

Isn’t this the cutest treat you have seen for Halloween?  All I used are various punches (scallop circle, 1/2" circle. 1/4" circle, and photo corners) and cardstock scraps (basic black, pumpkin pie, perfect plum, and green galore).  In between the 2 black scallop circles are mint patties.  Super cute and easy!  Thanks to Julie Case for sharing the idea.  Let me know what you think.

This treat bag is a flat cello bag filled with Hershey’s nuggets wrapped in the Designer Series Paper Ghostly Greetings.  The bag topper is made with Top Note, an exclusive Stampin’ Up! Sizzix die.  The bag topper also has the Batty for You image, a few extra punches, and a piece of black grosgrain ribbon.  Wouldn’t these bags be cute for your trick or treaters?

This Batty for You Gift Bag is made from a full sheet of Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper.  I enjoy origami and this bag is made with a few easy folds.  There is no cutting required.  Please email me at stampinsharon@cox.net if you would like the pattern.  I finished off the bag with Basic Black cardstock cut to 2" x 6" and the Batty for You image punched out with a 1-1/4" punch and mounted on a 1-3/4" punch.  The bag is filled with Halloween candy.  Super cute and easy!

This card again highlights the new In Colors Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red along with the Designer Series Paper Bella Rose.  I added a 5 Petal Punch, a small flower from the Pretties kit, and an In Color button for the flower embellishment.  The sentiment is from the set Heard from the Heart and the Scallop Edge Punch and white gel pen were used to add more details.

One of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up! is how everything coordinates together.  This card highlights the new In Colors Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red along with the stamp set Fresh Cuts and the matching Fresh Cut Notes.  I added a 5 Petal Punch of Kiwi Kiss, a few stamped images with the small flowers cut out, a piece of Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon, and some stippling with Kiwi Kiss to finish off the card.
