Enjoy the Moment

Enjoy the Moment is a new stamp set from the upcoming January - June Mini Catalog.  I find the images fascinating.  I like the fonts in the greetings as well.  It pairs well with the In Good Taste designer series paper in the Annual Catalog.  This is a great example of simple stamping.

Pointsettia Petals Ornament

I've been thinking about using our Gold Hoops to make an ornament.  I have to confess that I have re-worked it several times and maybe I'm not done yet...

I die cut the smallest Pointsettias - 10 Red Foil and 10 Gold Foil.  I adhered the red ones to one side and the gold ones to the other side.  Ideally, they would all line up so as the ornament  spins (as ornaments tend to do), there would be pointsettias always showing.  I put Gilded Gems in the centers of the red ones and red embellishments in the gold flowers.

Well Suited

This is such a fun suite of products!  Well Suited is a suite of products that can be used to make a variety of fashion inspired cards.  I think the dies really make this suite.  You can make ties, bow ties, suspenders, pockets, hankies, buttons...so  many possibilities!

The Well Suited Designer Series Paper has so many wonderful patterns to create men's clothing.  And of course Stampin' Up! has so many beautiful designer series patterns for other outfits.  In fact, the demonstrator who shared this suite with us at our virtual Stampin' Up! event made bride and groom cards - so cute!

Simply Succulents

One of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is getting to see and pre-order products before anyone else.  The Simply Succulents bundle was one of those products.  I love it!  I couldn't wait to start playing with it.  You will be able to purchase this bundle starting January 5th, when the 2021 January - June Mini catalog goes live!

Heartwarming Hugs Gift Card Holder

Here is quick and easy gift card holder we made at Hostess Club this month.  The second photo shows the inside of the card.  It's hard to tell where the gift card goes in the photo.  There is a pocket on the left side.  
  • Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 11.  
  • Score it at 1 1/2" and 5 1/2".  
  • Cut coordinating pieces of designer series paper 5" x 3 3/4" (x 2) and 5" x 1" (x2).  
  • Cut a 4" x 4" piece of Whisper White cardstock for the inside greeting.  
  • After adhering the designer series paper, add a small line of adhesive to the edges of the inside flap to form the pocket for the gift card.
  • Embellish as desired.  I stamped and colored the stocking from Tag Buffet, fussy cut it, tied a bell onto it with Linen Thread and adhered it with dimensionals.
