I'm Hooked on the JOLLY HOLIDAY Designer Series Paper!

 





I think I LOVE this Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! because Cherry Cobbler is my new FAVORITE color and it coordinates beautifully along with Old Olive and Very Vanilla.

The layout I used for this Christmas card is quick, easy and versatile.  Try changing the Designer Series Paper and sentiment to fit any occasion!

TIP:  I cut a very thin piece of Old Olive card stock to use in the center of the button embellishment.

TIP:  I added some texture to the Very Vanilla card stock background by running it through the Big Shot using a texturz plate from Kit #4.

SWEET SNOWGLOBE!

WELCOME back for DAY 6 of the RemARKable Holiday Madness Blog Tour!

I am having so much fun playing with the NEW Sweet Snowglobe stamp!

Yesterday I shared a pocket card with you that had a bright, cheery color scheme.  So, today I am changing it up a bit using neutral colors paired with Cherry Cobbler (my new favorite color).
   
 
TIP:  I used 1/2" Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding in place of ribbon on this card .  This new product is available in the Holiday Mini Catalog in three colors; Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Always Artichoke.

Holiday Pocket Card...without the Pocket!

WELCOME back for DAY 5 of the RemARKable Holiday Madness Blog Tour!

I hope you are having as much fun as I am!

Don't you just love SNOWGLOBES?

The Sweet Snowglobe stamp is located in the Holiday Mini Catalog under the
A La Carte section.  All items in this section are priced under $10.
I like the cheery, holiday feel of this card.

Tip:  To achieve the ruffled look at the bottom of the embellishment, I punched a strip of card stock with the Eyelet Border Punch and then ran the strip through the Crimper.  Then I gathered it a bit and attached with a strip of sticky strip.


TIP:  To achieve the look of a pocket card without the pocket, I cut and scored a piece of card stock as you would for a regular card and then I scored 1-1/4" from the top on front flap and then cut down to the score line along the middle score to create a flap.

Deck the Halls Holiday Gift Bag!

Welcome back for DAY 4 of the RemARKable Holiday Madness Blog Tour!

I am having so much fun sharing creative ideas with you AND checking out all of the wonderful projects on the tour!

Today I am sharing a holiday gift bag with you that features the Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!

I also used the new Mini Lunch Sacks and the Tags til Christmas stamp set.  You can find many of the products I used for this project in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Step 1:  Cut the 1-1/2" off the top of the lunch sack.
Step 2:  Fold the bottom flap of the lunch sack down to create a V at the bottom
Step 3:  Cut a piece of card stock 6-5/8" x 3-3/8" and score along the 6-5/8" edge at 1-1/2".  This is the back and front folding flap.
Step 4:  Cut a piece of card stock 5" x 3-3/8".  This is the front panel.
Step 5:  Punch holes just below the score line on the front panel as shown in the photo. 
Step 6:  Thread ribbon through holes and adhere to inside back panel before adhering the panel to the lunch sack.
Step 7:  Adhere the back panel to the sack making sure the score line is just above the top of the sack to allow the flap to fold down.
Step 8:  Adhere front panel to lunch sack.
Step 9:  Attached a Velcro dot to the underside of flap.
Step 10:  Embellish as desired.
If you have any questions regarding this project, feel free to contact me.
