As The Ink Dries

Bundle Up Some Cuteness!

Just in time,  Stampin Up! has some cute ways to help you with your holiday wrapping and at a great price!

                            Petite Treats Bundle         Trimmings & Tags Bundle                                        

Here's a little something I made up in a hurry.   I don't have the felt ornaments yet but will soon.    I think it will increase the cute level 100%!

I printed up a little poem and then stamped the mug from Scentsational Season.  To make sure the poem was legible, I stamped the image first on a scrap piece of paper to remove some of the ink and then stamped over the poem.  Using the Holiday Collection framelits I cut out the mug, so quick!   I punched some holes and ran the Gumball Green satin stitched ribbon through the handle and tied a bow.   I took some poetic license and changed the poem just a little so it would fit on the mug.  The font is Tekton Pro 10.  You can see how the Petite Treats bundle can really help you make up some quick, easy and of course cute gifts.  So, go to my online store and order this sweet bundle of cuteness!

Santa Says...

The Sell-a-Stamp Spooktacular is coming!  On Monday, October 29th almost every stamp that Stampin' Up sells will be 15% off!  You can buy background stamps, personalized name stamps, cookie press stamps, single image stamps all at 15% off for one day only!  What can't you buy?  The 15% does not apply to hostess stamps, bundled stamp sets or digital stamp-brush sets.

Santa says this would be a great time to do some Christmas shopping for yourself and your friends.  You can send or call me your order or you can also shop online at my store.  However you want to order is great just make sure to order on Ocotber 29th between 12 am (MT) and11:50 pm (MT).

See the sentiment above it is one of the stamps available for purchaseas a single stamp!  To see all the stamps you can purchase as a single go here.  Be sure to check carefully because there are new single stamps available AND 3 new single stamps that are Brand New!  Love it and yes you can order the single stamps on October 29th and get them at 15% off!

No you are not seeing things it is the same card just different patterns of the DSP.  I had leftover cut  pieces of Be of Good Cheer DSP from  the Christmas Crafting event in Spokane (what a fun day!) and did not want to waste them.  This is a easy card and great to use up all those scraps you have been saving.  I will tell you a secret  the Real Red and Silver Glimmer paper strips were not long enough to go the width of the card so Santa is covering up a gap.  

One last reminder to look at your catalog and get those stamps that have been on your wish list ordered on Monday, October 29th!  

 

 

All the Single Stamps, All the Single Stamps

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh...  

If you like it you oughta put some ink on it.   

Good thing you cannot hear me actually sing this!  I just couldn't help myself.  Why am I talking about single stamps?   Stampin' Up! Is trying something new.  How often have you thought,  I like that saying but not the whole set?  Well this is perfect for you.  You now have the opportunity to buy single stamps from 3 different sets.  The sets are Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings.   The stamp will be a Clear Mount stamp and the price varies depending on the stamp.  Now, this is just a test and will be available thru January 2nd.  The other thing you need to  know is that they will not come in a case but a cello bag.  

Click here for the Word Play set.

Click here for the Perfectly Penned set.

Click here for the Seasonal Sayings set.

I think it is a great opportunity to add to your sentiment stamps without having to get some that you might not need.  

Guess what I found?  I found another nail file that not only matches Stampin' Up colors but also punches too!

Did you notice that the "thanks" is from the Seasonal Sayings set?   Here's a close up.

Stamps: Perfectly Preserved, Seasonal Sayings
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo
Paper: Melon Mambo, Very Vanilla
Punches: Itty Bitty Shape Punch pack
Big Shot: Window Frames Collection framelits, Cannery Framelits, Perfect Polka Dot folder
Extras: Pearl, Sharpie 

 Would you like your own decorated file?  If you would then leave me a comment and tell me which set you wish you could buy a single stamp from.  I will draw a name on Sunday at 5 pm.

 

Gumball Green for Christmas

Don't you love the name Gumball Green?  Not only is it a fun name it describes the color so well.  I think it would be a dream job to be the person who gets to name the colors, the person in charge of creating more words for our not so secret Stampin' Up color code.  What would be your first addition to the not so secret code be?

I  was feeling very extravagant with my Gumball Green Stitched Satin ribbon while making this card.  The Back to Spool special makes it easy to feel this way.  Seriously now, free ribbon?!  

I know that the second ribbon was not necessary but i could not help myself!  Here's a listing of the fun products used on this card.

Stamps: Greetings of the Season
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Paper: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Be of Good Cheer, Silver Glimmer paper
Punches: 1" Square
Big Shot: Snow Flurry die, Northern Flurry Folder
Ribbon: Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon
Extras: Rhinestone

This is a pretty easy card and using the 1" square punch made it super simple to make the little patchwork strip.  This is  also a great way to use up those little bits of DSP that you  cannot bear to throw away.  

Now that you have seen all the colors of the Back to Spool ribbon special.  Which colors are you going to get free?

Don't Miss Out on the Candy Wrapper Die!

Today is the last day of the Online Extravaganza!  There are some great deals to be found there.  One of the great products that is 20% off is the Candy Wrapper die.  I was fiddling around with it and found out you can make a smaller version of the six sided box.

Here's another look at the box.

I also made a few other styles of boxes made with this die and I will hopefully get them photographed later this afternoon.  I am off to the dentist which is not a happy place for me but when I get back I will get some other samples of the die posted.  

You can shop via my online store or contact me but remember the extravaganza ends today!

Holly Berry Bouquet Duo

Happy Cyber Monday!  Have you checked out the Online Extravaganza?  Lucky for you it runs until  November 30th!  Today's projects uses one of the stamp sets that is part of the Online Extravaganza.  The set is called Many Merry Messages and it is one you can use in your crafting now and the best part is it is 50% off! 

I simply wrapped a piece of the Holly Berry Bouquet DSP around a box and tied a piece of cherry Cobbler Seam binding to secure it.  The words are from the Many Merry Messages stamp set and the dove is from the Holiday Windows Movers and Shapers die.

I wanted to use the same ingredients and make a card to share with you and it even qualifies as a Mailable Monday card.  Definitely letting the Holly Berry Bouquest DSP do all the work.

Here's all the sentiments that are in the Many Merry Messages set and at $17.48 it is a deal!

To check out all the specials go to my online store.  Have a great Monday and see you tomrrow!
