Dasher Box

This is the largest set of cards I'll be selling this Saturday at the Jingle Bell Boutique. The set includes the box and 12 coordinating Dasher cards with envelopes. Each card is stamped, embossed, glittered and has a white liner on the inside with a Christmas greeting on the inside.
These would be great cards for anyone use, but because they come in this lovely box they would also make a really super gift for someone else to enjoy.

The box comes with four of each of the following three cards:

This box will be selling for only $20.00 so don't miss out!

Kit 2 - Delightful Decorations

Just like the last kit, this kit comes with all the parts to make 6 coordinating cards. All you need is adhesive!

Each card has a Christmas greeting on the inside as well as on the outside. There are 2 of each of the following three cards:

This is my favorite! So simple and cute!

IN the kits, I actually changed the "Merry Christmas" to red, but you get the idea.

What could be more Christmasy than this?

And here is the box that holds all six envelopes, stuffed with all you need to assemble your cards.

If you won't be able to make it to the Jingle Bell Boutique this Saturday, you can still order this kit!

The cost is only $10.00 (plus shipping if you're not local)

Just let me know!

Kit 1 - Bingo Bits

Everyone loves to make cards, but not all of us have the time and materials to do it. This is why I've made these adorable kits!

This is the first of two quick and easy kits I've put together for the Jingle Bell Boutique this Saturday. Each kit includes six envelopes, each stuffed with all the things you'll need to put together two each of these fantastic cards. All you need is adhesive! I've stamped,cut, textured and punched everything!

Here's a close up of the first card. I love the look of the circle inside the scallop squares on this card.

I couldn't resist the Santa face!

And of course, ornaments!

This is the box that everything comes in. This would be super fun to do at home, with a friend or daughter or to give as a gift to someone who loves card making.

Most of the items at the boutique sale will only be available while supplies last, but I can take online orders for these fun kits so if you can't make it to the sale and you'd like a kit, just let me know!

Peaceful Season

Here's another quick project I showed at club this month. I've found that when I need to make large multiples of one card, if the card is too complicated I get really frustrated really fast. This card is a perfect balance of fancy and quick. Nice enough to be a special holiday card and quick enough to not drive you crazy making 50 of them.

I used:

* Peaceful Season (Hostess level 2) stamp set

* Early Espresso ink

* Naturals Ivory, Brushed Gold and Soft Suede Card Stock

* Deck the Halls Designer Paper

* Gold Smooch Spritz

November Club Pillowbox

Stamp Club was last night and since it's getting closer and closer to Christmas I thought I would show a couple projects that can be done with minimal supplies AND time. Because we all need more time. Especially me!

The stamp set and punch I used were purchased at 20% off through a Christmas Bundle Promotion through Stampin' UP! Click here for the details of the promotion!

I used:

*Tags Til Christmas stamp set

* Early Espresso and Always Artichoke markers

* Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla Card Stock

* Deck the Halls Designer paper

* Decorative Label Punch

* Linen Thread

Gift Card Holders!

I've been busy making gift card holders for the Jingle Bell Boutique!

I'm a little short on time and sleep (and I'm covered in glitter) so I'll just post a link to each gift card holder's info in case you'd like to create it yourself.
 If you'd like to know exactly what supplies I used then, well, you'll just have to come to the Boutique and see for yourself...or ask.

Bookmarks!

I'm really scrambling now to get everything made for the Jingle Bell Boutique, and I know I should be making the most important things first but who's to say bookmarks aren't the most important, right???

I can't tell you how much I enjoy making bookmarks. They're even more fun than cards because

A) They are smaller and easier

B) I can make them for myself as well as other people and

C) I use them all the time!

The size for these I believe is 2 1/4" x 6 1/4" but any size in that neighborhood works just as well.

For this one I used:

* Tags til Christmas and Jolly Bingo Bits stamp sets

* Jolly Holiday Designer Paper

* Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso (markers and card stock)

* Scallop Square Punch, Scallop Border punch, Tag Corner Punch (retired) and Slot Punch (also retired)

* Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon

And here is the other design of bookmark I made. The thing I like about this one is that the paper is so pretty, I didn't even need to use any stamps! Bonus!

Also 2 1/4" x 6 1/4"

I used:

* Deck the Halls Designer Paper

* Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso card stock

* Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding ribbon

* Corner Rounder Punch

* Crop-a-dile

* Jumbo Eyelets (antique brass)
