Beautiful Blizzard

I love the Beautiful Blizzard#148562 stamp set from Stampin Up and am sad that it will  retire on January 2,2019 along with the coordinating Blizzard Thinlits #147902. The sentiments in this set are perfect to last the whole winter season.

2018 Wall Christmas Tree

 Today I am posting my annual wall Christmas tree of all the Christmas cards that we receive from our friends and family near and far.  The tree is a nice blend of traditional, photo and handmade cards.  I will do a handmade card parade in the next couple of days.

Penguin March

 For today’s post I used the Making Everyday Bright #148813 stampset and the coordinating Christmas Bulb Builder punch #148013 to create the string of lights.  The sentiment is from the Making Christmas Bright #148046 stampset.  The Snowflake Swirl was cut using the now retired Snowfall Thinlits from Stampin Up.  I used the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the background layer.

Winter Woods

Walking through woods in the winter is one of the most beautiful experiences and Cammie  recreated it with the photo realistic trees in the Winter Woods stamp set #147658 from Stampin Up.

Heavy on the Embossing

  Today’s card features 3 Stampin Up Textured Impressions Embossing Folders:Snowflake Embossing Folder (Retired), Oh My Stars#143710 and the Tufted Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folders #143710 from Stampin Up.  The sentiment is from the Snowflake Sentiments #144817 and then she added snowflakes from the Swirly Snowflakes #144678 Thinlits to complete this beautiful card.

Still Night

 Cammie started out with a Silver edged card #147900 from Stampin Up and then created the background using Brusho ink and then added the trees and owl from the Still Night #147673 stamp set.

Gifts galore

Merry Christmas!  Today’s post is some of the packaging ideas I did for this holiday season using Stampin Up products.

Messed Up Lights

 

Today’s post is probably my favorite Christmas card I made this season.  It features the Christmas Bulb Builder punch #148013 from Stampin Up.  I used my engineering drafting skills to construct the box and then strung the lights with a piece of black bakers twine.  The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Making Christmas Bright #149947 stamp set.

Happy Christmas

 

I try and make a handmade ornament every year and when I saw this on a fellow demonstrators blog I knew I had to make it.  I bought the wood slices from Amazon and used the glitter embossing paste from Stampin Up to make the ice rink.  I stamped the Spirited snowman #148075, colored him and hand cut him out.  The sentiment is from the Merry Christmas Thinlits #147912 and the coordinating Merry Christmas To All stampset #147912.  Love this sweet ornament and I even kept one for myself!

Dashing Along

Today’s card is a unique way to give gift cards or other small items that fit inside the 3 mini envelopes inside the card.  I  went for a traditional color scheme offered with the Dashing Along #149903 DSP from Stampin Up.  I decorated the front with a large layered Snowflake from the now retired Snowfall Thinlits.  The sentiment is cut from the Merry Christmas Thinlits #147912 and the coordinating Merry Christmas to All #147912 stamp set.
