Sharon — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:45:11 +0000

Be sure to check back for the details once they are released. As a reminder, you can now order online 24/7 and you will receive your Great Rewards!

“I Wish” Simply Scrappin’ Kit

Sharon — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:00:40 +0000

Below are some of the projects from my "I Wish" Christmas Stamp Camp. I included a close-up of the bow on the gift bag to show off the Build-A-Brad. I love that detail! The Simply Scrappin’ kits are great for card-making as well as scrapbooking. The adhesive die-cuts makes it very easy to put together these projects.

2 RAK Cards

Sharon — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:00:00 +0000

These are 2 RAK cards that I received over the weekend from my downline. The first card made by Ginger uses the Season of Friendship stamp set from the Holiday mini catalog and a jumbo eyelet is added as a swing. Wasn’t that a great idea? The second card made by Ashley uses A Cardinal Christmas stamp set also from the mini catalog and a lovely array of colors. Don’t you love the Pacific Point cardinal?

Would you like to receive a RAK (random act of kindness) card? The first 3 people to leave a comment will receive a RAK card from me!

Acetate Pillow Box

Sharon — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:00:46 +0000

I was inspired by the video of Shelli Gardner decorating her place settings for the holidays. I decided to make small gifts for all of the kids who will visit us over the holidays. The pillow box is made using the Pillow Box die and acetate in the Big Shot. The stamp "ENJOY" and the polka dot cardstock are both from the Country Living Holiday Collection kit.

Enjoy!

You can now view a video on watercoloring through my Stampin’ Up! website. It gives some great tips on watercoloring using an AquaPainter and classic ink pads. The finished project is shown above.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Country Living Samples

Sharon — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 02:00:39 +0000

These 2 ornaments were made with the Country Living kit. The kit has everything you need to make lots of ornaments and tags. The contents of the kit are shown below. I did use the Crop-a-dile to make the holes for the ribbon in the chipboard. I also used the 3/4", 1-3/8" and 1-3/4" circle punches to make the projects easier to assemble. The kit comes with the Tombow multi-adhesive but if you are crafting with kids, I would recommend a glue stick.

Big Shot Serif Essentials

Sharon — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:15:38 +0000

I used the Big Shot and the Serif Essentials Alphabet Dies to make the "J" and "Y" using white felt. The Bigz dies cut felt just as easily as paper. You can also use the Bigz dies to cut material, cork, vinyl, etc. The snowflake is from the Felt Flurries in the Holiday mini-catalog.

Stamps: Snow Swirled

Ink: Night of Navy

Paper: Going Gray and Night of Navy

Bling: Felt Flurries, Rhinestone Brad, Going Gray and White taffeta ribbon
