Merry Christmas Everyone!

Have a blessed Holiday Season & a safe & Happy New Year!

I rubbed Decor Elements onto a travertine tile & added jingle bells & ribbon. Thanks to Braden for drilling me the holes! Hope the family likes them!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Here is a project I did with my stamp club this month. The base is cut using the scallop square die from sizzix (115950) and covered in real red, chocolate chip & soft suede cardstock. The letters were die cut from an ellison machine and covered with the Christmas Cocoa Designer Paper (116770) and assorted stamps & embellishments.

Happy New Year Workshop

These are the cards we created in my Happy New Year workshop last night. The workshop included the stamp A Brand New Year (116838) and the Groom Paper *LOVE THIS!!* (116478) 12x12 - 5 sheets each of damask & pin stripe as well as the "oh so shimmery" Brushed Gold (102935) and Brushed Silver (100712) cardstock.

Holiday Gift Cards

I made these gift card holders for a friend to use for her gift cards. She wanted to be able to hang them on her tree. Each one uses the Sizziz Gift Card Holder die. I ran the tops thru the Big Shot using various embossing folders & decorated the tops with stamps & sizzlits....Thanks for looking!

New Clear-Mount Rubber Stamps by Stampin' Up

Over the past few years, there has been enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it!

Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2010 Sale-A-Bration Brochure, Stampin' Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount option. Our new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps.

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Features
* Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
* Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
* Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist.
* Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
* Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
* Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
* Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.

Last-minute gift ideas

There are only 17 days left until Christmas! Do you still have loved ones to buy gifts for? Here are a few suggestions:

* My Digital Studio is a great gift for teens! They'll love making scrapbook pages, cards, and calendars for friends using the simple software. Plus when you order this exciting software suite, you'll receive a free Décor Elements piece valued up to $16.95!

* Simply Sent card kits are a great ready-to-wrap gift and have everything you need to complete 10 cards. This is the perfect last-minute gift for card makers or people you think may like making cards!

* Anyone who has a Big Shot will want the Alphabet Simple Letters Bigz die. It can cut through a variety of materials including vinyl, chipboard, and felt. This makes a great gift for a seamstress who would like to sew custom appliquéd pieces on her projects, someone who wants to create their own vinyl phrases to personalize her home décor, or any paper crafter who uses letters. And when you purchase this item, you qualify for a free Décor Elements piece valued up to $16.95!

* Add the final touch to your gift that says "I was thinking of you when I bought this gift" by personalizing it with Décor Elements. Add an Upsy Daisy Décor Elements to a laptop or cut it apart and apply it to a cell phone. Put all of the toys from Santa together in one container and add the So Many Toys Décor Elements to it, or use individual letters to add monograms and names to your gifts. These extra special touches won't go unnoticed.

Holiday Cards

My husband asked me to make him some holiday cards for his clients. This is what I came up with. It is hard to tell (I have a dinosaur camera), but I used the Medallion stamp (115223) -one of my fav's - in the upper left corner. Simple & elegant. I LOVE our "fuzzy" holiday Christmas Cocoa designer paper (116770).
