Winter Gift Card holder

Another great gift card holder using the Top Note die.  I saw this idea from Becky Roberts, again, I know:)  I changed the colors but here he is.  You can use this for any winter birthdays or events as well seeing as it uses a snowman.

Snow globe ornament

One more ornament from our class.  This is making a snow globe using the Mica Flakes.  This was one of my favorites.  Maybe because it uses my favorite snowman?

Merry Christmas Big Shot Style

Here the card highlights a special use of the embossing folders.  You brayer on your embossing folder with any color you choose then run it through the Big Shot.  This is what you come out with.  It is a beautiful effect.

Starburst Ornament

This is an ornament we made in my ornament class.  This was the "vintage" ornament. It took the longest to make but it is beautiful using our Shimmer Gold card stock and Wood sheets.

Elegant Christmas

This was a simple but elegant Christmas card we made in my clubs this month.  The bottom design is stamped on card stock vellum and then flipped over so the stamped side is down.  It makes for a very soft look.  We used Bravo Burgundy and Basic Gray.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.  Hope your day is wonderful and your new year blessed.

My sister took our family picture over Thanksgiving and this is what I did to it in My Digital Studio.  This was our Christmas card this year!

Paper Ball Ornament

Another ornament we did at my ornament class.  Get a clear ornament ball.  Cut strips of Designer Series Paper into 12" x 1/2" pieces.  Roll the paper around a pen or pencil and pop it in the ball.  Fill it up as little or as much as you want.  Add a bow to decorate and twine to hang and you are done.  I think this was one of the favorite ornaments of those in attendance.

My Homemade Gift

You saw this yesterday on the White Elephant post but this is a close up of the frame I made.  I love it so much I think I may need to make myself one.  This may be a good class idea, hmmmmmmmmmmm?

"Our occasion-specific mini catalogs allow us the opportunity to share the latest seasonal products with you and your customers, and we often carry over products from our mini catalogs into the following Idea Book & Catalog. This time, however, we have decided not to carry over the Stocking Builder Punch (item 124095) from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog into the next Idea Book & Catalog. Instead we will offer other great designs in its place--not to mention a trendy, new design planned for next holiday season.

Once the current inventory of this punch has been depleted, it will no longer be available for purchase. We hope many Stampin' Up! stockings will adorn cards and brighten holiday projects this season and look forward to seeing what you create with the next seasonal design."

We had such a great time at our group Christmas part.  The White elephant did not get too dirty either.  Only 2 gifts were stolen away.  It was amazing to see all the wonderful gifts all these girls made.  They were all so different.

Teacher Gift

From the beginning to the end you see the gift I made for Lorin's teacher.  I started with a cute apple dish that I found that was very inexpensive.  Then I bought 2 personalized stamps.  One that said "a note from" and the other the teacher's name.  I made some note cards and some thank you cards and wrapped it all up in the apple dish.  I am so excited with how it turned out and I hope her teacher loved it.

Christmas Party Swap Card

Okay, you are seeing this a lot.  Not all original ideas.  I got the idea from this card from Becky Roberts who had made an adorable card with our snowmen.  This is a swap card I made for our Christmas Party.  I was trying to think Spring.  Hard to do when it is freezing outside.  This makes a beautiful card or you can add a pocket inside and have yourself another gift card holder.

Paper Ornament

This is an ornament that we made at my ornament class earlier this month.  This looks so difficult to make but it is EASY and makes a BIG WOW!

Directions:
Cut 5 pieces of card stock 3"x3"
Fold in half and in half again.  Turn it over and fold 1 diagonal.
Flip it back over and it should fold into the shape on the bottom picture.
Stamp however you want
Using Tombow multipurpose glue, glue all five pieces closed on top of each other.
Take 2 pieces of 1 1/2"x1 1/2" and add to each side gluing the ribbon in between.
Add a bead and tie a knot.

When you slide the bead open you can flip your pieces open and it makes a beautiful ornament!

Frosty

Again I was inspired by another talented demonstrator who made this gift card holder.  I added my lolly flair and LOVE it!  I will be using this a wrapping this year.  We made this at my November group meeting.  The Top Note die is a perfect and easy way to "wrap" those gift cards.

Doily Snowflakes

These are the cards I made for my top 3 in sales for the month of November.  I was inspired by another demonstrator and copied a lot of it.  I changed colors and the main stamp.  I love how it turned out.  This is the first time I used my White Stazon pad.  I like the result.  I used my Big Shot to get my snowflakes.  The main card is Shimmer Silver card stock.  Then had to add some bling with a clear rhinestone brad in the middle.

Cookie Packaging

I got these boxes off the clearance rack and used them this year to package cookies for my husband's colleagues.  I made a simple tag and they all got delivered.  One of my favorite things to do at this time of the year is bake.  Cookies galore.  Now if I can just not eat all of them:)
