Inklings:

• Sometimes just a little bling can be just the right touch to finish a card. Dazzling Diamonds(102023; $4.50 ) is the "go to" glitter for me. Love it!


• Although this card is smaller than standard size, you can still pop it into a standard size envelope and put it in the mail...good to go!

Stampin' Up! Holiday: Quick and Easy Decor Elements Gift Idea

Good morning!
Just a quick project this morning using the Flurry Decor Elements to create easy gift for the holidays!
I purchased this red acrylic bowl from a discount department store and wanted to jazz it up a bit. In this set of Decor Elements(Flurry), there are several sizes of snowflakes so I chose one of the larger ones and cut it in half. It took about 10 minutes to apply these to both sides of the bowl! Instant gift!!! Just add candy!

More later...time for work!!!!---Lisa

Stampin' Up! Holiday: Winter Post-Silent Night

Hi everyone!
Today I challenged myself to create a Christmas card using the Night and Day Designer Series Paper. I knew that I wanted to use only black and white on my card so I chose the snowflake from Winter Post as the main image.



The snowflakes are stamped and embossed on the Top Note. Dazzling Diamonds
give these a pretty sparkle. I used my Horizontal Slot punch on the Top Note so I could thread the Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon through and tie a bow. "Silent Night" is written with a Signo White Gel Pen on Basic Black punched with Word Window and backed with a punched Whisper White Modern Label. I also used the white gel pen in the floral centers on the designer paper bordering the Top Note. I finished the card by spraying the alcohol and Frost White Shmmer Paint mixture to make it the entire card sparkle.

The Night and Day Designer Paper Collection is absolutely beautiful and is only available until January 4th. Order yours today through my website!

Stampin' Up! Holiday: Quick and Easy Christmas Jingle Card

Hello all!

I am working on my Christmas projects today and here is a little notecard I made with some cardstock and elements from the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. If you need an idea for a quick card, try this one!

The card base is a piece of Real Red Textured cut 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches so the finished card is 3 1/4 inches tall x 4 1/2 inches wide. I had a strip of the polka dot designer paper from the kit and I used the Scallop Border Punch and Paper Piercing Tool to enhance the top border. Also from the kit are adhesive strips and the the tiny border strips that separate these...great for accents and borders on your card!

Finishing the card are the Modern Label Punch as a background for one of the kit's sentiment and Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon tied into a bow.

Need one of these kits to create some adorable Christmas cards?..sure you do! :) Click here to order this great kit or any Stampin' Up! product! ---Lisa

Inklings:

• Challenge yourself to create with your left over cardstock...it's fun and makes great use of your supplies!
• Keep those tiny border strips for accents on your cards and other projects! These can add just the right touch to your creation.

Stampin' Up! Holiday: Merry Moments and Christmas Cheer

Good Monday to all!
...and, I hope all of you in the U.S. enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend!

How about another simple Christmas card design? I've seen this little deer from Forest Friends used on other holiday cards and those were the inspiration for the one you see here.

I added some "baby" antlers and a red nose to this little guy and added some "christmas cheer" with a rub on sentiment from Chit Chat Rub Ons. The designer paper is from Merry Moments from Stampin' Up! Love those colors!

Inklings:

• Try using a "non- Holiday" stamp to make a holiday card. Color scheme or a bit of alteration or the right sentiment can make this happen easily!
• I sketched in the antlers with a pencil then traced over those with my Stampin' Write Marker. It was easy to erase the pencil lines when done.

Stampin' Up! Holiday: Merry Moments Ornaments

Hi everyone!
Here is another Christmas card for you that is easily created with the Ornament Punch and Merry Moments Designer Series Paper. To add to the background, I stamped my Woodgrain Background Punch directly onto the designer paper in VersaMark and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. Sentiment is from Chit Chat Rub Ons in the big Idea Book and Catalog. Dazzling Diamonds adds a bit of bling to the ornaments.

Inklings:

• Try stamping over designer paper for a really unique look. The Woodgrain stamp here totally changed the look but did not hide the pattern of the paper.
