UDI Inspiration Challenge #125

For the UDI inspiration challenge this week I saw the ribbons and the first thing I thought of were gifts.  I am a sucker when it comes to giving handmade gifts.  I have a decorative plate that I put out in my kitchen for each holiday, season or special occasion.  I decided to decorate chargers that you can get for very little.  I had my definitely decorative Christmas elements from the Holiday Mini Catalog that I wanted to use up.  It took less than 5 minutes to decorate these plates and what a great gift!  I put up the stocking plate in my kitchen and I think I will give the others away, maybe with cookies on them.  Then it is a plate they can reuse or decorate their home with.  Be sure to check out what the other talented UDI team members came up with this week.

Ginger Carton?

Sorry I have not been posting regularly.  This season is hitting us too.  So much to do, so little time.  This is a great gift to put candy in for school parties or for teachers.  It is made from the milk carton die for the Big Shot.  I also used the stamp set, Got Treats!  So quick and easy and the kids love them.

Peace on Earth with Bling

I originally got this sketch idea from the Mojo Monday blog, I think.  I got to use my Star die for the Big Shot and used my Sticky Strip Sheets to cut it out.  Then I added some glass glitter.  It worked like a charm.  I used the colors gold, vanilla and Early Espresso for this card.

UDI Inspiration Challenge #124

This is a great UDI inspiration picture.  Now that Thanksgiving is over we are all about Christmas at our house.  We have our tree up and I love the colors of the candy canes.  This post is also a club project/spoiler for this month.  I got the idea and measurements for this project from a new friend, Connie Stewart.  She is a fellow Stamping Sister and we met on our Founder's Circle trip and hit it off.  I loved the idea of her swap and knew I would be duplicating the idea.  We are now big on gift cards in our family.  It is easy to travel with it and that special recipient can get whatever he/she wants.  Now you have a fancy way to package it.  I hope you enjoy it.  Be sure to check out what the other talented UDI team members came up with this week.

A CASEd Christmas

At Founder's Circle I got a great swap and decided to change some of the stamp sets but kept the rest of the card the same.  I LOVE this Christmas card.  I love how the colors work together, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Real Red.

News From Stampin' Up!

• Because of unusually high demand for our Candy Cane Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (available in the Holiday Mini, item 120809), there is a possibility that we will deplete our inventory within the next week, and we will be unable to order more. If you want this DSP make sure you order it soon so you don't miss out.

WATERCOLOR WONDER CRAYONS NOW AVAILABLE!

Great news! The Watercolor Wonder Crayons are now available for purchase. As we mentioned in a previous current update, the Watercolor Wonder Crayons were delayed due to a relocation of our supplier. We now have inventory and you can start ordering today!

When you and your customers receive your Watercolor Wonder Crayons, you may notice that some of the crayon sleeves feature old artwork on them. This does not affect the quality of the crayons; we simply need to deplete inventory of crayons with the old artwork before we use crayons featuring the new artwork.

Use the following item numbers to purchase your Watercolor Wonder Crayons:

• 120949 New Color Kit
• 119802 Subtles
• 119803 Regals
• 119804 Brights
• 119805 Neutrals

Thanks for your patience!

I have not fallen off the face of the earth.  I have been gone with family and very busy getting things ready for upcoming stamping events that I have neglected my blog.  I hope to be back in full swing tomorrow.  Please check back then.
