Only FOUR more days!

Happy New Year!


I just wanted to remind you that there are only FOUR MORE DAYS to get items from the Holiday Mini Catalogue, before it's gone! Click here to view it, and don't miss out on these fabulous products. Some we may see again, and some will be gone forever!


Place your order online here, or email me by Jan 3rd. 



Holiday_mini_09_en-CA


Some of my favorite must-have items from this mini are:


Sweet Centers stamp set (page 6 #116521 $41.95) **See a project I made with this set below**


Sweet Treat Cups (page 7 #116802 $3.95 for 12) **See a project below that I made with these** 


Night & Day Specialty Paper (page 11 #116768 $15.95)

Delightful Decorations stamp set (page 24 #116517 $28.95)


matching Ornament Punch for above stamp set (page 25 #116794 $22.95)


And so many more things! I could keep going on about the elastic cord, Shimmer Paint, Serene Snowflakes stamp set, Digital Studio, Christmas tree Pop-Up Die, etc etc. But I won't! Trust me, you'll want to have one more look.....


**Please note that the Shimmer Paint WILL be available after the mini expires.


And here's a cute Valentine's project I made using the Sweet Treat cups and Sweet Centres stamp set above, and chunky white glitter.

One more Christmas post!

Well, I have already started working on Valentine's projects, but I wanted to share one last post of these Christmassy projects that were shared by some demonstrators at the last team meeting I held.


Here's a card made by Julia Bell......


Christmas Card


It uses the Brilliant Blue, Real Red and Green Galore cardstock, and the Big on Christmas stamp set. The punches she used are the Scallop Edge punch, and Snowflake Punch. It's hard to see in the pic, but there is Shimmer Paint (mixed with rubbing alcohol) spritzed over the whole card and it really adds a pretty shimmer.


(By the way, the Shimmer Paint was so popular, that Stampin Up had decided to extend it past the mini catalogue expiry, so you'll still be able to order it in the coming months! Yay! Can't wait to try this on some Valentine's projects!)


Here's another Christmas card that I love. This one is made by Debby Evoy.


Penguin card


It is made with Real Red and Not Quite Navy cardstocks, and I love the little penguin guy! Debby used the 2 way glue pen, and some dazzling diamonds glitter on the ice flow, so it really sparkles!


Well, I wish you and your family a wonderful Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I am thankful for each and every one of you who drops by my blog on a regular basis! It is great to be able to share my projects with you, and my favorite part is hearing from you, via comments or in person. Thank you for inspiring me, and allowing me to inspire you a little. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Here's a snapshot of the teachers Christmas gifts we made this year for my kids teachers.


Teachers gifts


I got these pails from a local scrapbook shop, and added designer paper from the Christmas Cocoa set, along with 5/8 Real Red grosgrain ribbon, and Soft Suede polkadot ribbon.


Teachers gifts top
I cut out the circle on top using my Circle Scissors Plus. We also added a Whisper White snowflake using the Snowflake Punch, and a tag made with the Christmas Punch stamp set, Real Red and Soft Suede markers, and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch.


Teachers gifts side


We popped in some home-baked goodies, and a gift card, and off the kids went to deliver them! I think these pails would make really cute Valentine's gifts too!


Wishing you all a wonderful Merry Christmas!


Thanks for popping by!

Good Morning!


I was just working on some of my Digital Scrapbooking, and thought you might like to see one of my pages! This is made using My Digital Studio from Stampin Up, and was actually a pre-done template, included with the software. I just dragged a couple photos onto it, and edited the words underneath. Took me about 2 minutes!


My Project 1-003


Enjoy your day!

Christmas Trees!

 
Good Morning!


I wanted to share with you these Christmas trees I made with my kids recently. We had a great time!


Nov-Dec 2009 166


You can see from the bottom view here that I used styrofoam cones from the craft store, and added the paper curls all around. 


Nov-Dec 2009 167


You just cut double sided paper (I used the retired set called Holiday Thyme) into 1" X 6" strips. (You need about 3 12X12 sheets per tree.)  Then, using your Bone Folder, curl one end at a time, as you would with curling ribbon. Leave a flat space in the middle, and put a sewing straight pin thru that area into your styrofoam shape. No glue required! 


You can also do this on foam wreath shapes too, but make sure to get the dense foam so the pins don't fall out! This was easy enough for my 7 and 11 year olds to do, but I did help them with the curling part.


Enjoy!

Christmas is on the way!

Good Morning!


Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming! How exciting! I hope you are enjoying the sights and smells of the season, and are finding some time to relax a bit.


Here's a cute Christmas box I made using the Big Shot Matchbox Die, Christmas Punch stamp set, and Christmas Cocoa Designer Paper. This is the perfect size for placing a gift in: some jewelry, little chocolates or good old-fashioned cash-ola!


Nov-Dec 2009 014


Don't forget about the 12 Days of Christmas Sale on Big Shot dies and supplies on until Dec 22nd! See my previous post for more info.....


Merry Christmas!

Suede ornaments!

Happy Christmas Card making!



Ornament card -Soft Suede.jpg



Here’s a card I made using the Movers & Shapers Die, as well as the Ornament Punch, and Delightful Decorations stamp set from the Holiday Mini. It is on Soft Suede and Whisper White cardstock. I used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to stamp the small snowflakes, and also added a little shimmer on the ornament with the paint, and punched the bottom with the Eyelet Border Punch.  The ribbon is Soft Suede Polka Dot.


Hope you like it!



As always, if you'd like to place an order, or join a Stamp Club, email me at stampinwithjoann@shaw.ca, or order online thru my website at www.stampinwithjoann.stampinup.net
