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!! :)
