Merry Christmas!

I hope all of my loyal Stamp Club ladies are loving their new goodies and having time to play with them during the often crazy holiday season!

We are at my parent's house for the weekend to celebrate Christmas and tonight I gave my mom the monogrammed cards I showed in an earlier post plus a few others I made for her. She loved them! She is so excited to have nice cards to send out to her friends & family.

It's a bit more challenging to take pictures here & post from their computer, so more pictures to come once I'm back home.

Happy Holidays!!

My Wish List!!

Don't forget to tell your mom, dad, husband/boyfriend, sister... everyone! what stamps & supplies you're dreaming of this year for Christmas. Have them send their order over to me by next week on Tues, Dec. 8th to make sure it arrives by Christmas. Husbands and boyfriends especially are sure to love the free gift wrapping & gift tag I'm offering, plus I'll include a free stocking stuffer bonus item on any order over $50! What an easy way for them to get you what you want this Christmas!!

My personal wish list includes:
- Bold Brights full Stampin' Write marker set & cardstock pack- bright happy colors that all match & coordinate (pg. 156)
- The "Full Heart" punch- great for Valentine's Day! (pg. 186)
- "Everything Nice" stamp set- perfect for so many occasions (pg. 145)

What's on your Wish List this year??

Loads of Holiday Cheer!

My computer had some funky stuff going on lately so I had to go without *gasp* for a few days, but I am now back online... woohoo!

Here is one of the holiday cards I made recently. As I think most of you know, the people driving the truck here sort of look like Aaron and me so I am planning on sending this to his parents for Christmas. I think they will get a kick out of it and really enjoy it being so personalized just for them. :)

More holiday cards to come... I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner!!

Chocolate Chip Christmas

I can't get enough of the Delightful Decorations stamp set & punch! I was playing around over the weekend with new color schemes and came up with this holiday card featuring Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and a little Whisper White.

It always amazes me how a few little changes in color & design can make a totally different card. I've been experimenting with non-holiday ways to use this set more, too. More pictures of those designs to come in the following weeks :)

Delightful Candle Set

Did you know you can use your stamps to make beautiful home decor items, like candles?

Following up on my recent post about the bird candle I made using the Always set, here is a whole set of candles I made using my favorite holiday set- Delightful Decorations from this year's Holiday Mini. The Delightful Decorations stamps plus a Real Red stamp pad made these three basic white candles perfect to use during the rapidly approaching holiday season.

So fun, quick & easy to make, and a very reasonably-priced gift idea! Perfect for friends, neighbors, co-workers and family. Let me know if you have any questions on how you can make these, too! I am thinking they will be perfect for birthday presents and centerpieces for different holidays throughout the year.

Sneak Peak! Elegant Joy

This is one of the cards for this week's Stamp Club. It uses the Delightful Decorations stamp set and punch on pg. 24-25 of the holiday mini catalog. It's a bit hard to tell in the photo, but the *joy* really shimmers with a subtle touch of Dazzling Diamonds glitter.


Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Delightful Decorations Trio

I've been playing with the Delightful Decorations stamp set & punch and have these three mini card ideas to share with you that I made last night.

As you can see, holiday cards don't have to be just red, green & white! These are about half the size of traditional cards, but could still be put in a normal envelope for easy mailing or on top of a package for a thoughtful (and pretty!) homemade touch to any gift.

Click on the photo for a zoomed in view. The card with the red & green color scheme features an ornament that could actually easily be taken off and hung up on a tree or in another special spot.

Looking forward to making cards with everyone next week at Stamp Club!
