Stampin Up has two great 2022 Christmas crafting kits currently in the online store and are only available while supplies last!

These two kits have everything you need to create some great projects that you can use this holiday season.

One is a Christmas card kit called Cozy & Bright Kit (English) [160338] with a cinnamon and orange cider theme that's usually associated with this joyous season. It would be a great invitation for an open house or it would make a fun Christmas card.  Your recipients would love it.

Although the project looks really involved, difficult to put together, and a like a really over-the-top card, it's very simple. And, as with all of our Stampin Up kits, there are step-by-step instructions with pictures which is always a plus.

The other kit is called the Christmas Gifting Kit [160342]. It's a kit with all the supplies to make nine easy tags with a little pocket card that attaches to the tag with a piece of twine.

Tuck a little cash inside, a coupon, a gift card, or anything you'd like. I think these would be great to hang on your Christmas tree with a little cash or candy tucked inside for young visitors during the holidays.

You can even use it for a Christmas cookie exchange where you can tuck the recipe in the pocket and attach the tag to your little package of baked goods.

Let's take a look at the LIVE video from Thursday night where you can see how easy the assembly can be.

Here are the links to the kits and the scissors used in the video.  Order some for your friends, too, and have a fun night of crafting!

Let's work on our holiday cards with the 2022 Christmas Online Class Series from Lisa Brown, Ink and Inspirations.

From last week's YouTube Premiere, here's a fun fold card and the baby wipe technique with the Soft Seedlings stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog.

This technique has been a while for a WHILE!  It's been almost that long since this has been used on a card or any project of mine!  It's so simple!  All you need is a stamp, baby wipe, ans assorted ink refills.

And, even though you may use the same colors each time, your project will look different due to how much and the way you apply the drops of ink to the baby wipe.

Here's the recording of the Premiere from last week so you can create it yourself!  Be sure to add this beautiful Soft Seedlings stamp set to your order!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Card stock base is a single layer of So Saffron Cardstock [105118] at 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.
• Accordion is cut 4-1/4 x 9-3/4.  Scored at 3-1/4 and 4-1/8.
• Pumpkin Pie Cardstock [105117] layers are cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 and 3-1/8 x 4-1/8.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276]: Two pieces at 3 x 4; one for the die cut and one for the inside of the card. 
• Also needed is a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock [159276] and So Saffron Cardstock [105118] for stamping and fussy cutting the sentiment.
• Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper [159651] layers are cut 4-1/4 x 5-1/4 and 3 x 4.

You could also add another piece of designer paper to the inside of the accordion piece shown above.  I think that I will do that!

See you this evening on YouTube!

We are switching it up a bit this week for the third in a series of 2022 Stampin' Up! Halloween Projects!  This time we are looking at a cute wrap for a gift for the "young at heart".

If you have been following me for a while, you know that I am always looking for cute seasonal towels or towels that coordinate with our Stampin' Up! stamp sets or bundles.  Our daughter, Kristen, has a good eye for trends, too, and she picked up a couple of gnome-themed towels at TJ Maxx last week.

These tags are simple to make and take a simple gift and turn it into something special.  Below is a different towel with three little gnomes embroidered along the bottom.

Let's take a look to see how simple it is and I encourage you to try it, too!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Scraps of Basic Black, Petal Pink, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Basic White
