Elite Holiday Party

 

Hi Stampers!

First, let me tell you that I have the MOST AWESOME ladies on my Stampin' Up! team!! I had an Elite Holiday Party today for those on my South Texas Big Shot Team who met certain requirements. This photo shows the name pins each attendee received. 

My wonderful husband, who happens to be the BEST cook in Victoria, grilled fajitas for all of us!

My daugher, Vanessa (on the right) and her friend Whitney pampered us and made the most scrumptious brownies, served with ice cream. 

A few ladies enjoying the Make-n-Takes. More below...

I hope these ladies enjoyed this event as much as I appreciate them for all they do all year long! STBS's ROCK!
Happy Stampin'

Who are YOU thankful for?

Hi Stampers!

Wouldn't anyone and everyone like to get this card?!?!?  Since Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, my thoughts turn today to a "Thankful for..." card. My hostess clubs actually did this card last month using Thankful for... and Elements of Style Stamp sets, River Rock, Basic Black and Whisper White card stock and Basic Black ink. The 'U' was die cut from chip board with the Serif Alphabet die only after being covered with B. Black cardstock. To cover the 2.5" square piece of chip board, we used the new adhesive sheets in the Holiday mini catalog. What a BREEZE! Wow! The sheets make it SO easy!! We also used the ribbon punch on River Rock CS and put 1/8" Basic Black taffeta ribbon over it. The only thing we used dimensionals on was the sentiment. Oh WAIT! What punch is THAT to fit those words??

It is not a punch at all! Instead, the Top Note die was used to cut about 1/4 of a top note. Then the pointed design portion was put back into the Big Shot and lined up to cut the opposite side. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone. Perhaps I will have to start making videos since verbalizing how to do things gets a bit tricky. 

Happy Stampin'!

My Christmas House

 

 

Hi Stampers! 

OH MY GOODNESS!! What FUN I had making this Christmas house!! It is made extremely easy by Stampin' Up!  because they have a kit in the Holiday mini that sells for ONLY $5.95!  The kit includes all the pieces, cut, scored and ready to decorate and assemble (oh, and the doorknob).  I added Candy Cane Christmas (120809) designer series paper for the walls with Real Red card stock embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder (119976) for the roof. I even made the snow! It is PAPER! Gotta show you that trick sometime!! To view and order, click on the House Kit .
You will see that the decoration above the door was copied right out of the Holiday Mini catalog. Different ideas came from different houses I have seen on-line. (TIP: if you click on any of the photos, they will enlarge for you to take a better look)

The wreath on this side of the house was made from the Flower Burst embosslit (114515) with a 3/4" circle punched out of the middle then, tiny red circles (from the 1/16" circle punch) were added along with the 1/8" taffeta ribbon.  If you look closely, you will see Mom and Dad decorating the tree inside the window. 

There - I tried to get in a little closer for you. There is an electric tea light lit on the inside of the house. I stamped the silhouettes from Welcome Christmas (118736) in Basic Black ink onto vellum cardstock which is standing up inside the house. I just could not get the camera to cooperate with me to show how precious it looks with the twinkling light on inside. All the window sills have Silver Glass Glitter (120995) on them. 

This time the bells from Bells and Boughs (120831) were embossed with gold embossing powder and colored with Stampin' Write Markers, cut out and dimensionaled to the house. 

Finally, let me give you a close up of the roof with the "snow" on it...

I hope you like my house enough to try one yourself! If you want to order just the kit, shipping and handling will be more than the kit costs. In that case, email me and I will add it to a party order so you can pay just 10% shipping ($.60) instead of the $6.95 minimum.  If enough people order these, maybe we can set a day aside to get together and make them. It is always more fun creating with others than alone! Let me know your wishes.

Happy Stampin'!
