October 2015 Stamp of the Month! Embellished Ornaments

October is almost here and it's time to think ahead to our Christmas/holiday cards.  Seems like just yesterday we were doing them for last year!!  Right?  There are some beautiful stamp sets in the 2015 Holiday Catalog and I know you will enjoy the next three months as we use some of these wonderful products!

Wonder what the Stamp of the Month Kit is?  If you have ever purchased stamp and accessories and then didn’t know what to do with them when you received them, I have the solution.  You purchase the kit (at a discount), and I will send you the kit and three projects to do up immediately.  The kit includes the stamp set and whatever else I choose in making the card kits.  I don’t include adhesives, ink and stamped images (per Stampin' Up rules), and you can substitute what you have.  These projects are fun and easy to do.  I will send you a pdf file by email with the instructions and pictures for each project and the actual product to make three projects will be included in your kit!  Plus I will include additional samples that you can use to create even more cards and projects!!

For October I have chosen the beautiful Stamp Set

EMBELLISHED ORNAMENTS

 

And the coordinating Thinlits

Delicate Ornament Thinlits Dies

These purchased separately are $49.00 and the bundles price is $41.50

You will get them for $40 

What you receive 

1.  Embellished Ornaments Stamp Set

2.  Delicate Ornament Thinlits Dies

3.   Three projects ready to put together including the cut card stock, any dry embossing I use and all the embellishments and designer series paper!

4.    A pdf file mailed to you when I mail out the kits with pictures, step-by-step instructions AND additional ideas so you will be able to use your stamp set immediately! 

If you already have these products, you may substitute any products in any current catalog for the same price (to total $41.50).  The projects will be for the above products.  If you sign up for six months, the shipping is free.  Otherwise I will include $5.70 for priority mail shipping in your total.   

I take Visa, M/C, Discover, checks and paypal (I will send an invoice when I place the order.)  

This order will be placed on Wednesday, October 8th and the kits will be mailed around October 15th

Party Favor!! Scallop Tag Topper "Purse" Treat Holder

I attended my good friend and downline, Char's Christmas card class this week.  We had such fun - one of the things that was sitting at our place were these darling little party favors.  Of course there was candy!!  Chocolate helps SO much when you are busy crafting!!

Since I LOVED any kind of purse, these just were perfect!  

Side View

See the wrapped chocolates?  YUMMMMM

Here's a quick tutorial o make this darling little favor

Start with a piece of card stock 6" x 2" and score at 1 1/2" , 2 7/8", 4 1/2" and 4 3/4"

Cut a piece of designer Series Paper 2" x 1 1/4" and adhere to the last segment of above piece (after the 4 3/4" score line)

Punch the end with the designer series paper with the scallop tag topper punch

Flip the piece over and add a bit of Tear & Tape to the back between the 4 1/2" and 4 3/4" score lines.  Add some ribbon for the handle (6")

Fold on score lines and draw them up to form your purse.  Add a candy dot base brad to the front for the closure and a candy dot to coordinate with colors

Using a 3" x 1" piece of designer series paper, cover two chocolates and add to center of purse with glue dots!

That went fast, eh?  If I get a chance I'll add pictures

Christmas Gift Card Holder

Do you give gift cards at the holidays - or ANY time?  Here's a great holiday card that includes a slot for a gift card!  I'm always looking for new ideas, and this one is beautiful!!  I made this at the Christmas card class I attended on the 23rd at my downline, Char's, home.  It was SUCH fun and I loved all her creations!

and open

Don't need a gift card holder?  Just leave out the slot and you have a wonderful and unique Christmas Card

You score the Cherry Cobbler card base at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" 

To make the slot for the gift card, line up the Word Window punch between the end of the card and the 2 3/4" score line - punch once and move the punch over about 1" to the left - punch again; then move it over to the right the same distance and punch again - you have a perfect slot for a gift card.  Once you have the slot punched, using Tear and Tape, fold on the 2 3/4" score line and adhere to the center.

Christmas Cards - have you started yours yet?

I mentioned yesterday that I had such fun at my friend and downline, Char's, Christmas card class yesterday!!  SO fun to go and just make cards and not have to PLAN them!  

We made this beautiful card and I simply adore how it turned out!  We used the new Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and sponged over the trees!!  Very lovely affect!

It's kind of a "gatefold" card, but with different measurements!

and open....

Fun and beautiful card.  LOVE the sponging on the trees.  We used Soft Suede and a Stampin' Sponge - but you could also use the brayer and very LIGHTLY run over the trees!!

We also added some bling to the wood snowflake - just dipped it in the VersaMark and added some Iridescent Ice embossing powder and then a basic rhinestone - turned out beautifully!!

Thinking about Halloween? Here's a great card!

Definitely not too early to get started on those cute Halloween cards - here's one I just made and I think it's SO cute.  LOVE the brooms.  And can you see the Black Glimmer hat?  SO cute

Think this turned out SO darling!

Can you pick out something brand new in the 2015 Holiday Catalog?  Well.....there are LOTS of things, but see the curvy corners on the Basic Black and Whisper White pieces?   A brand new punch called

Curvy Corner Trio Punch

Three punches in ONE!  There is the curvy corner AND the beautiful

three tears corner and then a ribbon slide!  What a bargain!!  $26 for three punches!

I have to admit there is SO much in the 2015 Holiday Catalog that I completely missed this punch until my 3rd order!  I kept seeing these great corners punched and couldn't figure out where they were coming from!!  Duh!!

Another fantastic new product is the Fine-Tip Glue Pen - perfect for attaching the Spider Web Doilies.  

This glue dries fast and has a very fine applicator.  Wonderful for attaching small paper cutouts, glitter, small embellishments!!  I find I'm reaching for it often!!

I also used it to adhere the Tangelo Twist piece to the hat!!
