The Best Wine

Who would have thought using the same stamp set twice!  I mentioned on my last post that I had a little technique to share with you using this set – making the glass look half full (get it?  the name of the stamp set –

I’ve had this set sitting on the shelf for quite awhile.  I’m not really a wine drinker – I got it because I loved one image – “Merry Christmas”.  It was fun to sit down and use a set that I really wasn’t sure about.

I’ve really been afraid, to do the eclipse technique.  Thankfully, my friend Bree had a very similar card at her card class a few weeks ago that I was able to attend.   It was really a simple card to do!

I embossed and stamped the whisper white piece first.  Here’s a little tip I would stamp first then emboss – but make sure the stamped images are facing up and that the Stampin’ Up! logo is facing up when you run it through the big shot.  Just a little tip 🙂

Once I did that, I cut out the letters S-N-O-W.  I did use little stickies just to keep them in place.  I used mini Dimensionals to lift up the letters and offset them just a bit.

I loved, loved, loved the October Paper Pumpkin kit.  I can’t wait to add to it with the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  We actually made these cards in our monthly class.  Everyone loved it!

Oh my goodness – You need to seriously set a reminder to shop during extravaganza!  Here is how it will work – November 20th to 26th select items will be on sale all week (I would suggest shopping early – as things may sell out!).  There will be a 24 hour flash sale on November 20th and November 27th – again shop early so you don’t miss out!  I don’t have details on what will be available for the flash sale on the 27th but I can share with you what will be on the flash sale for the 20th.

We needed to make another stack of thank you cards – looks like we will be spending the weekend making another stack too.  This time, Jackie used the Stampin’ Blends to color in the globe image from the Going Far stamp set.   The deal we

A few weeks ago, we were in Walla Walla with my daughter.  Part of her duties are to make an official visit to each chapter in the state.  I was so happy to learn that my friend Bree was having a stamp class while we 

Seasonal Lanterns

Seasonal Lanterns

While my tribe is off to OnStage in Salt Lake City, I’ve decided to hold stamp class.  Its the first time I’ve had a class since I lost my craft room.  I wasn’t sure how it was going to work out – but surprisingly it worked just fine.  My customers are the best – reassuring me that everything was just fine and worked great.

So today we made this super simple, super cute, easy to mass produce Christmas card.  We used the Seasonal Lanterns stamp set and die – (I mean – dies are the best!) and a little hint of wink of stella.  What I think I like the most about this card is the vellum and the greeting.  It’s just a simple card with a big impact.
