Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

HOLIDAY HAPPINESS CARD!

I LOVE the simplicity of the HOLIDAY HAPPINESS stamp set located on Page 34 of the Stampin’ Up!® 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.

I added a bit of extra dimension to this card by adding an element that I ran through the Big Shot using the Snow Burst Embossing Folder which is featured in the Holiday Mini Catalog on Page 33.  I also added Basic Pearls to the ornaments.

LET IT SNOW Gift Box!

I'm excited to share another GIFT BOX project with you today!

I decided to dust off my PUNCH PALS stamp set because I like to experiment with sets that have been around a while and see what NEW IDEAS I can come up with.

What do you think?  The Whisper White Fancy Favor Box combined with a mostly Whisper White stamped element gives this little box a simple, clean look!

My favorite part of this project is the "To/From" sign stuck inside the box!  LOL, it's the little things that excite me!

TIP:  To add a bit of dimension to the snowman, I used Basic Pearls colored with a Black Permanent Marker for the eyes and buttons.

MERRY Gift Card Holder!

The holidays are just around the corner and to simplify my gift giving, I give several gift cards, so I thought I better get busy creating some HOLDERS...

The holder I am sharing with you today is a matchbook style featuring NEW products available in the Stampin’ Up!® Holiday Mini Catalog.

Be sure to check back tomorrow...I will be posting a variation to this design as well as a step-by-step tutorial.

SUPPLIES:

STAMP SET:  Winter Post (to/from image) (111780)
CARD STOCK:  Real Red (Textured-121077), Very Vanilla (101650)
HOLLY BERRY BOUQUET SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (124004)
INK:  Real Red (103133)
ACCESSORIES:  Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Buttons (125636), Winter Wishes Stitched Felt (124108), Linen Thread (104199)

ADHESIVES:  SNAIL (104332), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)

TIPS:

Punch the Decorative Label and then cut in half lengthwise to create a top & bottom mat.

I separated the "TO/FROM" stamp image by using Craft & Rubber Scissors to cut apart and then remounted the two images on the wood block.  This way I can stamp the images separately allowing for better positioning.

NOTE:  The inside envelope is a Non-Stampin' Up! item (2-1/2" x 4" Mini Bag) purchased at a local craft store.
