December's Class Cards.....

Good morning everyone!  Well...school started back up today, so I'm home alone and it's so quiet!  My husband is off helping a friend so I'm getting back to blogging!  I didn't intend to, but I took TWO WEEKS off while my daughter was on Christmas break.  It was wonderful to just hang out with your and my husband and my adult kids when we could.  We slept in...we stayed up late...there was no schedule...it was AWESOME!!!  That said...there's lots things I didn't share with you...my wonderful followers that I'm gonna share with you now and through out this week!  I'm forgoing my "Make-It Monday" today to show you the four cards we made in my December classes. 

Created with the Peaceful Boughs Bundle and the Magnolia Lane Specialty Cards & Envelopes.

Created with the So Many Stars Bundle and Gold Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes.

Created with the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set & Christmas Bulb Punch.

This cute gift card holder is created with the Swirl and Curls Embossing Folder and the Cup of Christmas Bundle.  I LOVE the idea of using a 3x3 envelope as the gift card holder!

My classes were so much fun this month I enjoyed every one!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Tuesday's Tip Video...I want to show you one of our new stamp sets...it's BEAUTIFUL!  Wednesday evening I'm participating in a Paper Pumpkin Alternatives blog hop and Wednesday through Friday I'll have more creations from December! I hope to get back to scrapbooking too!  I desperately need to catch up!!

ICS Blog Hop....Sale-A-Bration

Hello and WELCOME to the Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop!

Our theme for this month is anything SALE-A-BRATION!  The new Mini Catalog and SALE-A-BRATION are live on January 3rd.  You're gonna love both publications and you are gonna LOVE the inspiration you find in this evenings Blog Hop! 

You'll also LOVE getting to choose FREE product from the SALE-A-BRATION brochure for every $50 you spend January 3rd through March 31st!

I chose to use the Kerchief Card Kit. This kit makes eight cards and comes with four each of two designs of printed card bases & envelopes; diecuts. gold foil and vellum accents, twine and printed sentiments.  Here's what the cards look like put together the way the kit suggests!

When I saw the kit I thought country and frames!  I can't wait to play with them some more, but LOVE what I came up with for tonight's hop!  I hope you're inspired to choose this kit as a FREE item during SALE-A-BRATION!!

I cut the center out of the card base with my Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped it in Night of  Navy Ink with the Buffalo Plaid background stamp. I attached it to the inside of the card (under the framed front) with dimensionals.  I think this look is SOOOOO COUNTRY!  Next I used the Painted Poppies stamp set to stamp the sentiment onto the Night of Navy oval that is in the kit.  I heat embossed it with VersaMark and White Embossing Powder.  I added the flower and the foil leaves from the kit and tied a piece of Night of Navy Twine (from the Country Club Twine Combo Pack) around the frame, fraying the ends.  I also tied a bow around the frame with the twine that comes in the kit!  

I created this card with the piece that I cut from the center of the card base.  It's super simple. Just add a tree cut with the Majestic Mountain dies and glue it to the center piece and adhere it to a Whisper White card base.  My tree is cut from Shaded Spruce cardstock.  Next, cut a frame from Night of Navy cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle dies and attach it over the tree image on the card base with dimensionals.  Add a sentiment...mine is from the Label Me Bold stamp set and is stamped in Shaded Spruce and cut out with the Classic Label Punch.  Again, I added some twine that was in the kit, tying it into a knot and fraying the ends.  It's a GREAT masculine birthday card! 

Now hop on over to Deb's blog to see how she used the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper!  You'll be happy you did!

Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by and hopping along with the ICS design team!

12 Weeks of Stampin' Up! Christmas - Peaceful Boughs Box...Week Twelve

Hello everyone!  Some days are just hard and yesterday was one of them. It's crazy how life hits you hard some times and you don't think you can handle it but with God's help you do and then the next day life just seems different! Yesterday, I woke up not wanting to do anything but go back to bed...I was so tired and drained. I needed to bake cookies & order gifts (I had done ZERO...yes 0 shopping).  I needed to get ready for my class in Redding that is happening today! Really, all I wanted to do was stay in bed and cry, but I forced myself to get moving...got a couple of batches of snowballs made to send to my son in Phoenix with his Christmas gifts, sadly he won't be coming home.  I got lots of gifts bought...YAY!  Made my downline gifts and got them ready to mail and got everything together for class! I even had time to make little gifts for my customers AND put labels on my NEW Mini Catalogs and Sale-a-Bration Brochures! I'm was packed and ready to go by 10:30pm!

Today I woke this morning feeling strong, ready to go and excited to see my ladies down the mountain in Redding.  It's suppose to start snowing in about an hour and I need to leave in about two hours...hoping there's not so much snow that I have to cancel...or that I can't get home!  Time will tell!!

I'm excited to share the last 12 Weeks of Stampin' Up! Christmas projects with you today!  It's a FUN...QUICK...and EASY last minute treat box!  BE INSPIRED!!!

Copper Dotted Treat Bag - OVER THE TOP!

Hello and how are you doing today?  Gosh...it's been a SUPER busy morning!  I've been baking...baking...baking!  For our 50th Annual Candy Cane Basketball Tournament!  One back of peanut butter cookies burned...but that was the only casualty!  I also tried a new chocolate cookie recipe (that my husband loves) and my new brownie pan! This pan is so cool...you bake individual square brownies so each brownie has four edges!  Edges are the BEST! I'm done now so on to blogging!

Today I want to share a quick and pretty gift bag idea!  It's created with the Copper Dotted Treat Bag!

I used my Pool Party Stampin' Blend to color my bag.  Isn't it pretty?  I think it's a FANTASTIC idea...not mine, sadly...but FANTASTIC!!

I love the sloppy bow look so I folded the top of the bag over, punched a couple of holes in it and slipped a piece of ribbon through both holes and tied it in a half knot.  Next I laid a strip of lace, polka dotted tool and burlap ribbon over the top of the half knot and tied another knot to hold them all in place!  I LOVE the look...kind BOHO CHIC!!

I haven't tried coloring the bag any other colors yet, but plan on doing it soon for some Valentine projects!  STAY TUNED!!


HEY...thanks BUNCHES for stopping by today!  Enjoy your weekend...be safe and patient in the crowds!  I hope you find a moment or two to CREATE!
