Just a Quick Note! I will not be posting much this week, because I just left the Doctors office and I have the Flu! I was told I need plenty of rest and I'm now on medication. I was trying very hard to prevent this with my hubby being sick with it. I hope you all Have a Happy New Year and Be Safe out there!
A New Hostess Code will Post Tomorrow! Thank You for a Great Year and Thanks for understanding. I will be back on a regular schedule when I get well!
Since I consider you all my friends, I'm going to vent a bit if you don't mind! Ok, I'm exhausted!
It's been a whirlwind of things since the week of Christmas, my Grandson's Birthday, my Birthday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, then my Mom's 93rd Birthday, now my poor Hubby is sick with, I believe the Flu. He's been in Bed for going on 3 days and I'm doing everything I can to not get it! I haven't slept good in 2 days worrying about him and caring for him. Oh! and last night, about 12:45 am there was a helicopter going round and round above my house for about 45 minutes! This morning I heard that they were searching for someone who ran from the police! Yes! I'm not kidding! :0 I know, There now, I do feel much better sharing it with you all! I apologize, But THANK YOU for letting me share here!
This project is another SNEAK PEEK. It's coming January 3, 2019 with the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-bration brochure. FREE time again! There is so much, I couldn't wait to share some of it. It's just around the corner, only 4 days away!
Are these Butterflies not so pretty? This will be a popular Bundle, so put it on your wish list.❤
You will definitely see them again! Which do you like better. I still like the Night of Navy better, than the Balmy Blue with this Box. I really thought it would be easier for you to see the score lines in the video using the lighter color!
I hope everyone had a Wonderful Christmas! It was a whirlwind of a day! We had dinner at my sisters home and then off to my son's house. Usually they come over, but my poor little grandson got a virus on Christmas Eve. I felt so bad for him, because he was so upset he couldn't spend Christmas Eve with us. He was so happy Christmas Day when we brought his presents to him. Oh, the Joy of a Child's face! It made my Christmas! :)
Today, I'm continuing my Beginners Series. Doing my Facebook Lives, I realized there are quite a few beginners out there, wanting to try stamping or don't know where to start. Hopefully I can get you started in the right direction. #simplestamping, #stampinupcards, #beginnerstamping
This is a very Clean and Simple Card. The Varied Vases Stamp Set is a Great one for Beginners because it has several sentiments and some very simple, but Beautiful images.

A piece of Lovely Lipstick Cardstock that measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and you will score at 4 1/4".

I'm actually posting on time this week! Woohoo! The Holiday Rush is killing me this year! Anyone with me? Normally I'm pretty much done. I thought I would have more time since I retired from my regular job. But, Boy was I wrong! Always something to do! I love this technique I'm sharing, because you can actually make a card pretty quickly and it's so fun, also a great way to use your smaller images.
These are all four cards I created using different small images. They are so fun! Make them in the shape of a tree or try making them in a wreath shape.
Don't ignore your smaller images, they need love too! I hope you try this technique and have fun doing it!
Happy Sunday! We are winding down to Christmas! Only 8 days left. Wow! It's amazing how time flies! I will probably only have my Technique Tuesday Christmas Card to share and that will be all the Holiday projects. I need to do a Birthday Treat Holder, because the day after Christmas will be my Mom's 93rd Birthday! We are having a Birthday Party for her and some of the residents.
I have really enjoyed sharing all the Christmas projects with you and doing the 12 weeks of Christmas for my Newsletter subscribers. Thank you all for the Wonderful Feedback! I appreciate you all so much!
I'm sharing a Twinkie Box today, but it can absolutely be used for any kind of treat, I just loved the Red Twinkies that Hostess came up with. Of course I had to make a Box for it!
The Alpine Sports Bundle is one of my favorites because of the Sleigh and Ski's. They are a reminder of my years growing up in New York. The snow and the whole spirit of the Season. I know, those of you who still get all the snow, want to have sunshine, but believe me, when you are away from it for very long, I bet most will miss it! :)
Holy Cow! I just realized that today is Wednesday and I haven't posted my Technique Tuesday Card. WHAT!!! I decided yesterday morning I was going to try to get some Christmas shopping done, since I am so behind before I visited my Mom. I can't believe I forgot to post! I had everything all ready to go! Sorry! The Christmas Rush is on! Ugh!
Well, here is the Card I create for Technique Tuesday. I love this technique. It's a must try. Very fun to do!
I wish the Dazzling Diamonds showed better in the picture, but it was hard to captivate. It does add so much pretty sparkle!
Time is flying by and soon, I will be posting projects that are not Christmas Related. In fact there will only be maybe one more! Wow, If you have been a follower of my newsletter, you know I have created a ton of christmas projects this year. I have loved every minute of it! I will be sharing soon a Haul with all the New Occasions Catalog products I have to share. Can't wait for the Occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration! My favorite time of year. Free stuff! Yeah!
Today, I'm sharing a Treat Holder using the Coffee Cup Framelits. I know a lot of you have these framelits, because it has been a popular Bundle. If you don't have this stamp set and framelits, it's a must have! (by the way, they are no longer sold as a bundle, so you need to order the framelits and stamp set separately)
DON'T FORGET THE YEAR-END CLOSEOUT SALE GOING ON! CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE PDF!!
How cute are these little cups? I know I say this often, but I think it's one of my favorite's for sure!!!
They are really fun to create as well. I did put the embellishments on opposite sides, however, if you would like, you can put them on the same side and have them match up. I wanted them the same on both sides.
Today, I'm sharing another For the Beginner Cards. It's a simple Thank You Card, using one Stamp Set. I really love going back to the Basics of stamping. It makes me truly appreciate the art! So if you are a Stamper, there is a true artist inside you!
When I picked up this stamp set again, it made me realize there is so much more to this set. Take a second look at your stamp sets and see what other way you can use the set. You might surprise yourself!
These cards will come in handy after the Holiday's when your needing Thank you Cards.
I know many lof you wait for this time of year to Shop the Year End Closeout Sale! So many Great Items on this list. I've been talking a lot about the Christmas Traditions Punch Box, a GREAT gift idea for a Crafty Family or Friend. Now on SALE! Holy Cow!
Happy Technique Tuesday! Today's Card is not much of a Technique Card, unless you have never Embossed. Then I guess, It would be a technique. If you have subscribed to my 12 Weeks of Christmas, you have already seen this embossing folder. Now here is a card to create using the same folder. These Stampin'Up Dynamic Folders are amazing. The depth of the emboss is so beautiful.
You can use any Foil Sheets with this embossing folder and it would be just beautiful. Try using Shaded Spruce or Tranquil Tide as a card base. So many variations you can try for this card and it's actually a Quick & Easy Card to create.
THERE WILL BE NO PDF, BECAUSE THE ONLY MEASUREMENTS ARE FOR THE CARD BASE, WHICH IS 9" X 4 1/2" AND SCORE AT 4 1/2" TO CREATE A 4 1/2" X 4 1/2" CARD.
THE PIECE YOU EMBOSS WITH THE METALLIC PAPER MEASURES 4 1/4" X 4 1/4".
Today's project was once again inspired by a chocolate bar! Yep, the Snowmen Ghirardelli I found in Walmart, when I went grocery shopping. When something catches my eye, like this ghirardelli shaped like Snowmen, I had to create a box. It's one you can use as a stocking stuffer, put them on a co worker's desk, give them to your family and friends when you have them over during the Holidays, or even for a party favor! Even hang them on your tree! They are so adorable!
Look at these little snowmen, how cute are they peeking out at you! They are just adorable. It probably helps that I have a thing for snowmen!! :)
As I said in previous posts, I'm going to start posting some Beginner cards and projects. I don't want to forget about those who are at a different level of stampers, or those who want to begin rubber stamping. These post will not take the place of my regular post, they will be added posts, so, Don't Worry, I will still be sharing all the same things I normally share.
This card is a simple, one stamp set card, perfect for a beginner to start. #simplestamping.
The Dashing Deer stamp set will give a beginner a easy, yet elegant looking card. This is one of my top 5 stamp sets this year!
Is this deer not just beautiful!! For those who are more advanced, Can you see this deer embossed with gold or silver emboss?

Today's card is yet another Snow is Glistening stamp set card. I just can't get enough of this stamp set and Snowfall thinlits. I made a card a few weeks ago similar to this one, but I stamped on the Velvet Sheets and also layered and embossed that card. This card, I'm using the Stamparatus for this technique. If you don't have the Stamparatus, Put it on your Christmas Wish List! It's a must have.
This image is just to share the Dazzling Diamonds I used on this Card. It added so much with just a bit of Dazzling Diamonds! It didn't capture it in the other photo's.
With the Stamparatus, You can make several at a time. Perfect for this years Christmas Cards. Try it in another color, I bet it would look pretty in any of our Stampin'Up Colors!
How is everyone's weekend? It's getting so close to Thanksgiving, and I'm preparing, as I do every year, for my family dinner. This year will be smaller than last, but the preparation seems the same! Whether cooking for 21 or 12, it's all the same! That being said, I love family get togethers. How are you all celebrating?
Today. I'm sharing a cased Treat Holder from a Friend, Her You tube channel is Rejoice & Create. Darcy has so many fun projects you will want to check out. She's a girl after my own heart! :)
I think the Joyous Noel Designer series paper is so pretty for these bags, but if you want to make it more Whimsical or for a younger person, try the Santa's Workshop designer series paper. I think it would be really cute! Using the Circle Tab punch does add so much to this project, but you can always just punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon closure or a magnet closure.
So Sorry this is a day late, but I'm still getting my bearings back from the Stampin'Up Convention.
Also, I haven't seen my Mom since last week and was anxious to visit her. Thank you for your patience!
I came back Super Excited as I always do after a Convention. The Occasions Catalog goes live to YOU January 3,2019. Along with Everyone's Favorite time of the Year! Sale-a Bration!!! Woo HOO!
There is so much New Exciting things happening, including Stampin'Up will now only carry The NEW Cling Stamps and Photopolymer stamps. We will no longer carry Wood Mount or Clear Stamps. You are going to love the Cling Mount, No More stamps falling off the Blocks. You will have to put the stickers on the back now, so, no more stamping without the stickers.
On with Today's project!
The card today is a simple Fun Fold Card, but it also is a Beginner Stampers Card. We were reminded, not to forget our Beginner stampers. It's so true, because so many want to make that avid stamper Card, a bit fancy or over the top. I want to start sharing more for the Beginner also.
Any stage of Stamper can make this card and Step it up a bit or leave as is!
Today, I'm sharing A larger Box, perfect for some pretty candies. It has a Window in it! Yes, Surprise a Window! I really like the size of this Box, especially when you want to give a nice gift to neighbors or friends. I'm using the Large Letter Framelits. These framelits are a little bit more expensive, but, I promise you, you will get your money's worth out of them. I've used them for bags and boxes and cards. It's a great investment.
I think that some really pretty Lindt Truffles or pretty Cookies would look really nice in these boxes.
Remember to use a food safe bag when putting cookies or open candy in these boxes. Stampin'Up Carries food safe bags! The paper doesn't hurt the cookies or candy, but you may get some bleeding onto the cardstock from the butter in the cookies or candy. Not a pretty site and you want to preserve the box.
There will be NO FACEBOOK LIVE this Thursday, I am on my way to Orlando for the Stampin'Up Convention. I will share with you when I get back. I'm going to try to go LIVE from the Convention. Keep a eye out, if you are a Stampingwithamore Facebook friend. If not, Like my Facebook page, I would love to have you.
The Technique Card today is using once, again the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set. If you haven't ordered this yet, you need it. It's for a Limited time Only. Now through the 30th, or while supplies last! I know it's absolutely one of my all time favorites.
In playing with this stamp set and the Velvet sheets, I discovered you can stamp on it and also sponge on it. It's so pretty! I wish you could see it in person and just touch it!
I'm super excited to share this Tree Treat Box today. It's using the every popular Snow is Glistening Stamp Set, and Snowfall Thinlits. The one I've been sharing for a couple of weeks now! It's Now Available.
This Box is not difficult at all. It does take some time, but not too bad. It's so worth the extra effort to make it a WOW Treat Box.
The embossing on these make them really more elegant. You can definitely try these on colored cardstock maybe using a Tone on Tone. I also think Embossing the whole tree would be gorgeous to step it up a notch! I wish I could have gotten a better picture, but it was rainy and dull outside.
DON'T FORGET TO JOIN ME TONIGHT AT 7PM FOR FACEBOOK LIVE!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you all!!

Today, I have some Tags to share. It's been a while since I've done any tags. I do love making tags, and I often forget to share them with all the other things to share. I had a few requests to do some tags. So there really isn't much technique here to share. Although this tags is so pretty using the New Snow is Glistening Stamp set and the Snowfall thinlits. They will be available to order Novemember 1, 2018!!
I'm so loving this stamp set and framelits! The gorgeous snowflakes are amazing!! The stamped one's and the Thinlits! Also, Look at the falling snow stamp! So pretty!
THERE WILL BE NO PROJECT SHEET FOR THESE TAGS. THE TAG ITSELF MEASURE 2" X 4 1/2".
HAPPY, HAPPY SUNDAY! I hope everyone's week was good! So, I saw a Box somewhere on the internet. It was a professional Box company,. I was eyeing this box for some time, because I was thinking of purchasing some for Christmas. Yes, I sometimes buy certain boxes, I don't think I can create. Finally this year, I ran across this Box again and was determined to try and make it. So, Today, I'm sharing that box with you. It's not exact, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
This tree can be decorated in so many ways, or leave it just plain, either way, it's a fun one. You need to measure some for this one, but it's really not hard. You need to try one!
Love the Snowfall Thinlits COMING NOVEMBER 1, 2018. The snowflakes are gorgeous!!
