Nutz about Stamping

Why not explore the fabulous Holiday Catalog with me?

The Holiday Catalog has been live for under a week so it's time to turn those pages and start noticing things! As you explore, here's a wish list so you can pencil in your favorites as you go. 

Click on the photo above to download a full page list!

So, where shall we begin? How about with a product medley? What is a product medley you ask? Great question! It is like a kit in that you get everything you need to make a ton of cards but without instructions and a fancy box. (note: you need to supply your own additional cardstock ink and adhesives)

You will design your cards, tags, scrapbook pages (etc) all on your own. Think of the medley as a one-stop shop. As a grouping of products that Stampin' Up! has selected for you, for hours of crafting fun. 

Note: Stampin' Up! used to sell product medleys as a special one-month promotion and this is the first time they are trying a medley in a catalog. 

So now that you have your catalog, turn to page 39. Introducing the Most Wonderful Time product medley (order #150705)! Also available in French and German.

How to create a colorful vintage Christmas card

What is your stamping style, sleek and modern, cute and colorful, or soft and vintage? If you chose vintage, you will want to try this last-minute Christmas card idea! 

I remember when cross-stitching was all the rage and I made several 'pictures' to hang on my walls back in those days. I loved the quiet as I crafted and to see my picture coming to life as I wove the colored yarn in those tiny cross patterns. I was a school teacher at that time and I even remember my principal telling me that he loved to cross-stitch too. He found it so relaxing as did I.

The Cross-stitch Christmas stamp set stands for tradition, dedication, handmade decoration, and above all, love. Simply perfect for your vintage holiday projects!

Let's have a look at the stamp set - click on the small image to order it over at my online store - after all, vintage never goes out of fashion and you will have this set already for the next holiday season too!

 

Cross-Stitched Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set
$21.00

 

This is a photopolymer set so you will be able to achieve perfect placement when stamping the bauble and then the 'hook' which means you can do so using different ink pads. 

The card base was embossed for extra interest - you can try that idea or simply stamp the background if you don't yet own a Big Shot. 

Here's the card - I hope you give it a try!

Supplies:

Instructions:

1. Emboss the larger piece of Shaded Spruce CS, then glue it onto the front of the card base.
2. Stamp the main body of the ornament in Cherry Cobbler ink, then the fill in area in Cherry Cobbler ink stamped off once., onto the smaller piece of Whisper White CS
3. Stamp the side and top of the ornament as well as the hook in Crushed Curry ink.
4. Stamp the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink.
5. Stamp the small star in Crushed Curry ink onto the flap of the envelope.

You need to see this delightful stocking stuffer idea

This week I am going to feature some fun Christmas stocking stuffer ideas for you to consider. Stampin' Up! has so many smaller items in our Annual catalog and I thought it would be fun to point out some of the items that could easily be popped into a stocking. And the good news is that you still have time to order these in time for Christmas. 

The first item I want to feature are our fabulous:

Aqua Painters

 

Aqua Painters
$17.00

Details:

• You get 2 brushes in one package  – 1 medium brush tip, 1 large brush tip, so you can do big watercolor washes or finer detailed work.
• Stampin’ Up’s Aqua Painters have a stopper inside the tip to allow water to flow only when you squeeze the barrel - no more needless drips everywhere!
• You can add different liquids to an Aqua Painter – water, rubbing alcohol, bleach, etc. Each one creates a different technique! (leave a comment if you want to see some of these amazing techniques)
• They last forever!  I have had the same set of Aqua Painters for over 10 years.
• Use them to add subtle shading your stamped images.  
• Want to “smear” color in a stamped image?  Aqua Painters are perfect!
• You don’t have to be a water color artist to use them.

Here's just one idea for using our Aqua Painters - you can share this video with everyone who finds these delightful products in your stocking this year:

 

How do the holidays inspire your cards?

This week's Paper Craft Crew card map challenge is wide open! This fun challenge below has me ask: how do the holidays inspire your cards? For me, it is my home decor.

A few years ago I bought this gorgeous paper mâché reindeer with a huge red velvet bow and I set it beside my fireplace every year. The Dashing Deer bundle was an instant 'gotta have it' for me because the reindeer stamps reminded me of my home decor deer. 

Here's some exciting news: Dashing Deer is on sale and available while supplies last! Click on the image below to order it at my online store:

Dashing Deer Clear-Mount Bundle
$50.25

So when I saw this challenge I knew I needed to use Dashing Deer. But I chose to use a different paper for my deer die-cut: Sparkle Glimmer paper!

And as I had several bits of the Festive Farmhouse designer paper around I decided to use some of this appear on my card. 

Festive Farmhouse 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper
$11.00

 

Here's my card; don't miss the Falling Softly embossed layer - a nice final visual touch. Why not try my layout to make your cards this year?

See a creative way to stamp words

Today I am excited to share something I discovered - a creative way to stamp words! I discovered this almost by accident as I was designing and creating the card below. 

Here's the story behind the design:

I loved the designer series paper pattern and wanted to feature it as a main layer for my card. So I cut and adhered it to my card base. I was thinking about an image for the front of my card and decided to use a solid Whisper White deer from the Detailed Deer thinlits pack. 

Detailed Deer Thinlits Dies
$34.00

I wanted my die-cut deer to stand out from the designer paper pattern so created a couple of layers (Whisper White and Shaded Spruce) to make that happen. 

Then I got stuck. I didn't want just the plain deer on the card front. I wanted to add a phrase. I looked through my Christmas stamps and spotted the Merry Christmas to All stamps:

Merry Christmas To All Photopolymer Stamp Set
$27.00

And that's when it hit me. I would try stamping right on the deer! Here's my card and I can honestly say I love it! I featured this card at my November Crafternoon class and my customers loved it too!

Give my idea a try using the instructions under my card photo:

 

Supplies: 

• Stamp Sets – Merry Christmas to All (147702)
• Card Stock – Shaded Spruce (146981), Whisper White (100730)
• Ink: Shaded Spruce (147088)
• Misc. – SNAIL Adhesive (104332), Big Shot (143263), Detailed Deer Thinlits (147915), Magnetic Platform (130658), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Under the Mistletoe designer series paper (146921)

Measurements: 
Shaded Spruce: 2 1/4” x 3 1/4”; 2 3/8” x 3 3/8”
Whisper White: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”; 2 1/2” x 3 1/2”; 4” x 3” (deer); 3 1/2” x 1/4” (banner)
Under the Mistletoe: 4” x 5 1/4”

Instructions:

1. Fold Whisper White card stock in half to create card base. 
2. Using SNAIL adhesive, adhere Under the Mistletoe layer to Whisper White card base.
3. Layer larger Shaded Spruce and Whisper White layers and adhere using SNAIL. 
4. Cut banner ends to Whisper White strip. Adhere to Shaded Spruce layer and then adhere final Shaded Spruce layer on top. 
5. Diecut Whisper White deer. Using Shaded Spruce ink, stamp ‘Merry’ onto deer body. Adhere deer image to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

How to create a Merry Christmas to All layered effect

In today's video I am going to show you how to create a beautiful Merry Christmas to All layered effect for a Christmas card.
