I just wanted to stop by to wish all my lovely followers and customers a Happy New Year. I appreciate your support so very much and look forward to sharing more of my paper crafting adventures in the coming months.
Embossing ~ Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop
Welcome to the 5th Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, I am delighted to be taking part again. We are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Shirley Mercer’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month’s theme is Embossing ~ there are different types of embossing, dry embossing which uses Embossing Folders along with the Big Shot, Powder Embossing which uses embossing powders and a Heat Gun and Embossing Paste – so I had quite a decision to make on which to choose.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice but also because they have the 12 x 12 Page Protectors and Albums.
Foil Edged Cards ~ Stampin’ UP!
Christmas Day is tomorrow and toward the end of next week we will be welcoming the New Year and welcoming the 2019 Occasions Catalog…………….. but at the same time we shall be saying goodbye to the 2018 Holiday Catalog 😦 – however there are a number of products in the holiday catalog that will be carrrying over to the New Year and I am featuring a few of them today.
Now if you want the ones that are retiring you will need to place your order in the next few days – you can do that on-line – see the links below, or contact me and I will place an order for you.

Candy Gift Card Holder ~ video tutorial
Today is the Winter Soltice, the shortest day of the year – as I write this I am listening to BBC Radio 2 (you can take the girl out of the UK but not the UK out of the girl!) playing The Christmas Song by Stevie Wonder and feeling really festive and to be honest, a little nostalgic as well.
I am sharing a gift card holder today with a little surprise, this was designed for me by my friend, Elly, when she was visiting in October – we had such a wonderful 3 weeks together.
Heat Embossing with Snowflake Sentiments
I love Christmas – the traditions, the tree, the sending and receiving of cards and I have a very traditional view of it but while I like traditional Christmas cards and colors there are times I go for a little bit of contemporary and today’s card is just that.
I used the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set because it has some nice greetings and I love that big ol’ snowflake!
Paper Pumpkin – November Kit
Early in the New Year Stampin’ UP!’s Paper Pumpkin will celebrate its 6th anniversary and I have been a subscriber since day 1.
I have not shared too much about it on my blog and you may be wondering what it is all about……. but if you are looking for a gift for the coming holidays you might want to take a closer look 🙂
Introducing ~ NEW Cling Stamps
This is an exciting change for Stampin’ Up! and you are going to love the new functionality of the stamps.
Cling stamps have the same quality rubber stamps you’ve always loved and they now come with highly adhesive image labels. The benefit is that they will cling like crazy to clear blocks so you don’t have to worry about your stamp image shifting or falling off of the block. Cling stamps make stamping easy.
Time for some Gift Tags ~ Christmas Traditions Punch Box
The other day I shared a little gift bag – perfect for some holiday packaging – today I have some quick and simple gift tags using the Christmas Traditions Punch Box. (oh and by the way – this punch box is currently on clearance at $27 instead of $45…… for this bargain click here
The punch box has the ink, clear block, 6 different stamps and a co-ordinating punch – all of which I used to make these tags + plus a few other supplies 🙂
Mini Gift Bag
Christmas is just 14 days away and maybe you are looking for some gift wrapping ideas or maybe a little favor for your holiday table.
This little bag measures just 3 x 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 and it can hold a bunch of goodies…….. 8 tealights or lots and lots of Hershey’s Nuggets or Kisses, or a couple of bottle of nail polish or a couple of small bottles of hand-sanitizer or possibly a lovely piece of jewelry!
I made one for each of the ladies who came to my November Monthly card class as a thank you for their support and shopping for their Stampin’ UP! supplies with me over the last year.
