More Great Deals for the Week!

Truly Grateful

Todays card is one that I saw on Brandi Cox's blog.  Isn't it amazing??  I didn't have
some of the supplies she used so this is slightly different..not much...
This card uses Truly Grateful stamp set from Holiday catalog...and appropriately titled...we
have so much to be grateful for!  Colors used are Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede
and Chocolate Chip.  The greeting is from Tags for you and punched with Label Bracket punch.
The ribbon is the 1 1/4 Burlap Ribbon from Holiday catalog and Pearl Basic Jewels on top of the ribbon.

Festive Flurry Treat Holder

Here's a great treat holder made with Festive Flurry Stamp Set!  The original idea is from
Dawn Olchefske's blog.  She made hers using Chicklets packets but I wasn't able
to find those.  This is a Peppermint gum packet...a little thicker than a Chicklets box so
its a little bulkier.  This slot is made with the Word Window Punch. and I had to punch
several times to make the insert wider for the box to fit.  The snowflakes are stamped
in Bermuda Bay and popped up with Dimensionals.  The large snowflake is cut with
framelits and Silver Glimmer paper and topped with Frosted Finishes Embellishments.
The belly band is embossed with Stylish Stripes embossing folder and a rhinestone is
placed at the point.

Santa's List

Heres a card made with the Center Step Tutorial from Splitcoaststampers.  The stamp
is from Santa's List from the Holiday catalog.  The base is Real Red embossed with Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder and the DSP is from the Season of Style Paper Stack.  The Naughty/Nice is from the Very Merry Tags set and the bow is made from the large oval punches. 

Santa's List - Gift Card Holder

This a a great gift card holder that I found on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.
It's made with Santa's List from the Holiday Catalog.  Cardstock is Gumball
Green with DSP Seasonal Style Stack. I used the Windows Framelits for the center
and Verry Merry Tags for the Naughty/Nice which coordinates with the Decorative
Label Punch.

WEEKLY DEALS

Prince Of Peace

Prince of Peace is my favorite SINGLE stamp! Its stamped in Bermuda Bay ink and die cut with Deco Label Framelits Collection.  The card base is Bermuda Bay embossed with Northern Flurry embossing folder and the snowflakes have the rhinestones in the centers.  The DSP is Winter Frost from the Holiday Mini catalog.  It's hard to see from the picture but the paper is foiled which really makes it pop!.

Endless Wishes

Endless Wishes is one of our new Photopolymer stamp sets.  I usually don't buy clear stamps
because I don't like the impression as well as the rubber stamps, however, these new stamps
are just as great!  The background on this card was done using one of our clear blocks directly
on Classic Ink-Tempting Turquoise or you can use a brayer for a not so splotchy background.
It's hard to see but there are rhinestones on the snowflakes!

WEEKLY DEALS

Magical Season

Here's card I made using the PopNCuts die cut.  I used Cherry Cobbler CS and
Season of Style DSP.  I stamped the snowflakes using the smallest snowflake from
new Endless Wishes photopolymer clear set.  The main stamp is Magical Season
from the Single Stamp list.

NEW "Best Of" Snow set

This is the "Best Of' stamp set for November! 
This stamp set coordinates with the Label Bracket punch!

Halloween Hello

 

This card is called a Flip Down Stack Card and I found the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers!

A little time consuming but very cute!  I used the Halloween Hello set from the Holiday Catalog.  The embossing folder is one that we used to carry...its still part of my "collection". 

Halloween Bash

This card is made with Halloween Bash stamp set out of the Holiday catalog!  I've used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstock and I stamped the background in Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink using the Positively Chevron background stamp.  The greeting is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and cut with the Framelits Label Collection die cuts.  The bat punch is a retired punch but I couldn't part with it.... LOL

Another Thank You

Heres a very simple Thank You card using our newest Photopolymer Stamp Sets called
"Another Thank You" #133454.  This is a set of 10 different stamps.  I used some of those
stamps and just place them all on one block.  Cardstock and Ink is Melon Mambo.  There
is a little rhinestone in one of the hearts.  This is the first Photopolymer stamp set that I have
purchased only because I prefer the rubber stamps, but I was very surprised to see that the
images come out just as great!  I know some of the clear stamps you buy at the "M" store don't
stamp too great, but this is a great value!

Delft Tile - Sunflower

I saw a tutorial on Delft Tile recently and thought I would give it a try...
Here's my attempt with the Sunflower background stamp.  I used Crushed Curry cardstock
and stamped with Baked Brown Sugar ink.  The greeting is from Gifts of Kindness...

Festive Flurry

Today's card is one that I made for a monthly swap I participate in.  This is another
new set from the Holiday Mini catalog called Festive Flurry.  The stamps and dies can
be purchased separately or in a bundle.  I've used Bermuda Bay CS and Ink along with
Smoky Slate.  The background is embossed with Stylish Stripes embossing folder.
I placed a window sheet in between the White and Bermuda Bay CS so the snowflakes
are layered and stacked on a glittered die cut snowflake and adhered to the acetate with a dimensional., topped off with a Frosted Finish Embellishment.  The greeting is from Wishing you stamp set, punched with Modern Label Punch. Thr Ribbon is 1.8 Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon.

Magnificent Maple

I know I haven't posted in quite some time but you know how it is....life happens.
I know for me, once we get back from Convention, you're on fire, ready to hit the ground
running...so here goes....lets see how long I can keep this up! LOL

This card is using Magnificent Maple, a new stamp fro the Holiday Happiness Mini Catalog.
It uses Crumb Cake and Vanilla carstock and the DSP is Sweater Weather, also from the new
mini.  I used New In-Color Baked Brown Sugar to stamp the leaf and the Gorgeous Grunge
stamp set is used for the background, stamped in Crumb Cake.  I sponged the edges a little with
Baked Brown Sugar.  The trim is the 7/16 trim in the main catalog, it has that burlap look to it.
The greeting is from the Truly Grateful stamp set, stamped in Early Expresso. I've also used Naturals
Designer Buttons and Chocolate Chip Bakers twine.
