Here's an idea to involve your "littles" in preparation for Santa's visit! 

How about leaving Santa's cookies in a personalized bag? The little ones can color the Santa from the Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle and you can do the rest! I think it's a fun alternative for cookies on a plate!

Let's take a look at the how-to video!

Lisa's Inklings:

• You will need two pieces of Poppy Parade CS cut at 6" x 6".
• Score at 1-1/2" on three side of three sides of each piece.
• The designer paper is cut just for the front at 2-3/4" x 4-1/4".
• You will need a piece of Shimmery White CS cut at 4" x 5" to stamp Santa.
• Cut the "Santa" letters from scrap Sparkle Glimmer paper.

Here are the supplies for the Santa Cookie Box:

Have the little ones color the Santa before adhering to the box.  Use Watercolor Pencils or crayons for the coloring.  Maybe this will start a tradition with your children and grandchildren.  Let me know if you try this...I will be waiting to hear from you!

Today's project is a sweet Christmas card featuring the So Many Stars bundle.  The sentiment and the font are so pretty!

The designer paper is no longer available but you could create your own background with stamps and Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder.  Let's take a look at the quick video.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Card base is Night of Navy 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". 
• Cut another Night of Navy piece instead of designer paper at 4" x 5-1/4".  You can stamp, emboss, or texture this piece.
• You will need another piece of Night of Navy cut at 4" x 4" to die cut for the sentiment.
• Die cut a star from a piece of Sparkle Glimmer paper approx. 4" x 4".

Today's 2019 Christmas card project was a struggle for me!

I know...it's a simple card, what could the struggle be?

Well, I wanted to use the "boughs of holly" sentiment with some holly.  As you'll see in the video, this is my third try at the project.  To tell the truth, sometimes we (I) make things too hard.  You (I) can put too much thought into a creative project when most of the time it's just best to keep it simple.

Such was the case of the Boughs of Holly Saga.  Are you ready? Here you go...

Here are the supplies needed to create this card!  Just click the links to shop.  Thank you so much for your support of my business!

Today's card project features the beautiful Christmastime is Here Suite all decked out with a golden rose!

The more you work with this set, the more you see how versatile and beautiful it really is!  You really should get it if you haven't already!

The creative process started with the decision to emboss the Christmas Rose stamp in gold. Once that was done, choosing the remaining elements was easy.  This card reminds me of this Christmas card that I made with the retired but not forgotten Lovely As A Tree from years ago.

I recorded a quick video with a voice over for you to see the process.  All the details and the products used are listed below.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Base is in Very Vanilla cut a 4-1/4 x 11 and scored at 5-1/2.
• You will need about a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Very Vanilla for stamping and die cutting and another 3 x 4 piece for the sentiment.
• Gold Foil is cut at 4 x 5-1/4.
• Ribbon is cut at about 18".

Here is the list of Stampin' Up! products used for this project.  I would be honored to serve as your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  Just click below on the images to shop or you may call or email me with your order.

Here's an idea to involve your "littles" in preparation for Santa's visit! 

How about leaving Santa's cookies in a personalized bag? The little ones can color the Santa from the Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle and you can do the rest! I think it's a fun alternative for cookies on a plate!

Let's take a look at the how-to video!

Lisa's Inklings:

• You will need two pieces of Poppy Parade CS cut at 6" x 6".
• Score at 1-1/2" on three side of three sides of each piece.
• The designer paper is cut just for the front at 2-3/4" x 4-1/4".
• You will need a piece of Shimmery White CS cut at 4" x 5" to stamp Santa.
• Cut the "Santa" letters from scrap Sparkle Glimmer paper.

Here are the supplies for the Santa Cookie Box:

Have the little ones color the Santa before adhering to the box.  Use Watercolor Pencils or crayons for the coloring.  Maybe this will start a tradition with your children and grandchildren.  Let me know if you try this...I will be listening for you!

For today's project, here's an idea for a gift box for a bottle of essential oils.  This is one I've made and gave to a good friend.  We both love Stress Relief by Eden's Garden so presented this bottle to her a few weeks ago.

This is a very simple box style with a sweetly pinched top. In the video, be sure to watch for how I secure the closing.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Cardstock is cut at 5-1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 2", 4", 6", and 8" on the long side.
• Turn the cardstock where the short side is on top and score at 2".  This will be the box bottom.
• Designer paper is cut at 1-3/4" x 3-1/4". You'll need four pieces of this.
• Scrap pieces of Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, and Pretty Peacock are needed for die cutting leaves and punching circle.
• Whisper White scrap is needed for stamping and punching the sentiment.
