Card Set for my Hostesses in November - Gingham Gala & Butterfly Beauty

I had such fun making and sharing this card set with my November hostesses

We were able to pre-order if we attended the Stampin' Up On Stage Event the first part of November and you can bet I didn't miss that chance.

This is the card holder

January Stamp of the Month Needle & Thread

Wonder what the Stamp of the Month Kit is?  If you have ever purchased stamps 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!!

We are going to start the new year with

Needlepoint Nook Suite

Needle & Thread Stamp Set

and Needlepoint Elements Framelits Dies

This bundle sells for $45.75 plus $4.58 shipping for a total of $50.33

I'm offering it to you for $43

AND.....

Since Sale-A-Bration starts January 3rd, if you were to add something to make it $50, you can choose a Sale-A-Bration item!

My recommendations

Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper ($11.00)

Needlepoint Nook Cardstock Pack  ($8.50)

Old Olive Linen Thread ($5.00)

Needlepoint Nook Mini Buttons ($7.00)

What you receive 

1.  Needle & Thread Cling Mount Stamp Set

2.  Needlepoint Elements Framelits dies

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

5.   A pdf file emailed 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!   I always include at least 10 samples so you will have tons of inspiration!

If you already have these products, you may substitute any products in any current catalog for the same price (to total $45.75).  If you sign up for six months, the shipping is free.  Otherwise I will include $7.10 for priority mail shipping in your total.   

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

I will be placing the order on Friday, January 4th and will send out the kits around January 15th

Two Cards to make

For our November Stampin' Up Club Projects we used the Chicken Wire Elements 

We used one half a piece of the Chicken Wire to sponge through

and then used the other half on another card!  

LOVE making products go further

Measurements

Very Vanilla Thick Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Cherry Cobbler 5 1/8" x 3 7/8

Very Vanilla 5" x 3 3/4"

We attached the Chicken wire (half a piece) to the Very Vanilla with Washi Tape and sponged Soft Suede ink over

 

Easy Peasy - and we had the actual chicken wire element left for another card!

Check back tomorrow for the 2nd card we made using the actual chicken wire element

Countdown 'til Christmas Day 2

I really love sharing a different calendar project each year and this year I have already made about 50 + of these

They are quick and I love that they stand up - 

Easel Calendars

I ordered the calendars from Vippies.com

Here's a brief tutorial - as always, contact me if you have any questions

Card Stock Base 11" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"

Cut another piece 4 1/4" x 4" and score on the 4" side at 1/2", 2" and 3 1/2"

Fold this piece on the 2" and each of the outer score lines fold the opposite way

Add Tear and Tape to each tab

Place this piece inside the card base with the center up to make your easel

Add the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper cut 5 1/4" x 4" to the front of the calendar

The calendars are 3" x 2 1/4" so cut a piece of card stock 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" - adhere calendar to this piece and to the front of the card

Add a sentiment - DONE!

Fun gift and so easy to put together!

Another Spirited Snowmen

Just LOVE this stamp set and it's retiring - boo hoo!

You might want to consider getting it before it's gone!!

Measurements

Cherry Cobbler Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Dashing Along Designer Series Paper 2 pieces 4" x 1 1/2" and 4" x 2 1/2"

Cherry Cobbler 3 1/4" x 3"

Whisper White 3" x 2 3/4"

The Dashing Along Designer Series Paper was a special for hostesses in September - it's now available to order Item # 149903

 

This card is beautiful in real life.  The picture definitely doesn't do it justice!

A swap shared by Judy Pinner

Measurements

Basic Gray Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Smoky Slate 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4"

Judy stamped the trees in Basic Gray ink on the Whisper White

She then stamped again on a piece of Basic Gray 3 3/4" x 2"

I'm not sure, but I think she used Frost White Shimmer Paint

She then lined that piece up over the top of the Whisper White

VERY effective!

 

Such a cheery card

Cathy Miller shared this card

Measurements 

Cherry Cobbler Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Crumb Cake 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

Cathy used Champagn Mist Shimmer Paint and did the Faux Mother of Pearl on the Crumb Cake

Click here to see a tutorial on Faux Mother of Pearl

She used the Sprig Punch to punch out some "sprigs" and the sentiment is from the Peaceful Noel Stamp Set

This card is using the Filigree Stamp Set 

This stamp set has 4 sentiments, so will be good for all year!

Love this

Measurements

Very Vanilla Thick Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Shaded Spruce 5 1/4" x 4"

Cherry Cobbler 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

The Filigree is stamped on the Cherry Cobbler in Cherry Cobbler ink and then the sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla and punch out with the Pretty Label Punch

Then the creator added 4 little triangles of Dashing Along Designer Series Paper 

Really frames the sentiment!

I'm thrilled to say the Dashing Deer Stamp Set and Detailed Deer Thinlits Dies are being carried over

Just a reminder that once they have been bundled in one catalog, they are no longer bundled and you can't get the 10% bundle price

So if you want this bundle, now is a good time to get it

Measurements

Whisper White Thick Card Base 11" x 4 1/4"

Merry Merlot 4" x 3 5/8"

Very Vanilla 4" x 3 3/8"  this is embossed using the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
