The Brightly Gleaming suite in the 2019 Stampin' Up! holiday catalog is so beautiful!  On this card, I used colors that I haven't used together in a while, Merry Merlot and Crumb Cake.

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Merry Merlot

• cut at 4 1/4" x 11" score at 5 1/2"
• cut at 1" x 5 1/2"

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5  1/4"
• cut at 2" x 3" for ornament

This card is another great card to make when you need to make duplicates.  It is fast and easy!

Today I am in Lansing, Michigan at a retreat given by a fellow demonstrator.  Later tonight I will be attending Stampin' Up! Center Stage (this is for demonstrators who are Silver Elite and above).  Then tomorrow it will be the big event for all demonstrators.  I can't wait!

I will be posting sneak peeks from the new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page and Instagram.

I know I have been showing you a lot of Christmas projects lately, so I thought I would share with you a birthday card using a stamp set, Perennial Birthday, from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I did use the Gathered Leaves dies from the holiday catalog too.

I want to thank Doris Schneider for sharing her card online with all of us.  I liked it so much, I didn't change anything on it.  That is one thing that I absolutely love about Stampin' Up!  Everyone is so willing to share their creations with others.  When someone wants to make one of my cards, I always tell them, that is the best compliment you can give me.   

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Thank you for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it!

When my friends come to my classes, they always have a little thank you gift waiting for them at their seat.  I made this treat holder for one of my classes last month.  Sam Donaldson, a fellow demonstrator, shared this cute little box online.  

This treat holder will hold 3 of the bite size Hershey candies.  I stamped the trees in the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.  I love punches, so I was really excited when I saw there was a coordinating punch with this stamp set.  You can get both of them as a bundle and save 10%!  Yay!

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Very Vanilla Thick

• cut at 4" x 11"
• on 4" side score at 1" and 3"
• on 11" side score at 1", 5", 6" and 10"
• cut at 2 1/2" x 5"
• cut at 1/2" x 2"

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper

• cut 2 at 1 3/4" x 3 3/4"

I put a piece of the Toile Tidings designer series paper on the front and back of the box.

I am getting so excited!  On Thursday I am heading to Lansing, MI with Robin for the Stampin' Up! OnStage event.  I am going to see some of my best friends, get inspired, see new products and play with some of them and learn new ways to be a better demonstrator for all of you.  Make sure you check out my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page as I will be posting updates.  

On Friday, Robin, Carla, Cathy and I will be going to a retreat a fellow demonstrator is putting on.  It will be so nice to be able to go and stamp, relax and spend time with friends.  It doesn't get much better than that!

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have a marvelous Monday and a wonderful week!

Today I have a fast and easy Christmas card that is so striking.  I used two different designs from the Brightly Gleaming Specialty designer series paper (DSP) so I didn't have to worry about them coordinating.  That is one of many things I love about Stampin' Up! how everything coordinates.   The sentiment is from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in the holiday catalog. 

We were just talking about that in my Christmas card class last Sunday.  We all agreed that we love how the ink, paper, ribbon and embellishments all coordinate.  I was telling them how when I first started scrapbooking and then making cards, how I would have the hardest time finding the exact color of cardstock to go with my patterned paper.  Now, I don't have to worry about it with Stampin' Up! products.  

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Night of Navy 

• cut at 1/2" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Very Vanilla

• cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Copper Foil Sheet

• cut at 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper

• cut at 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" - bottom piece
• cut at 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" -  top piece

This is a great card for a masculine Christmas card or if you need to make multiples of it.  

It's Friday!!!!  Do you have any fun plans for this weekend?  We are going to go and check out some craft shows, which I love to do at this time of year.  We are also going to be putting up our Christmas decorations.  I know it is early, but I have a very good reason to do it now.  I will be out of town next weekend at the Stampin' Up! OnStage event and the following weekend Emily and Jeff will be here.  I want to have it done before they get here, so I don't have to do it while they are here.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

Mr. Wonderful loves penguins, so when I saw the Playful Penguins stamp set in the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog, I knew I had to order it.  I have to admit, when I saw them in the catalog I thought they were cute.  However, when I saw them in person, I was so wrong.  They are so stinkin' cute! 

I knew I was going to make a card with this stamp set for Mr. Wonderful for our anniversary; I just wasn't sure which one.  He loved his card, so I must have made the right one!

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Night of Navy

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Seaside Spray

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 3 1/5" x 5 1/2" for the penguins and scarves
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for inside the card

Silver Foil Sheets

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Sparkle Glimmer Paper

• cut at 2" x 5 1/4"

I used the die from the In The Woods die set to cut the snow bank.  The snowflakes on the Seaside Spray cardstock are stamped with silver metallic ink.  I also stamped the snowflakes on the bottom of the inside Whisper White panel and on the bottom of the envelope.  The penguins and the scarves I fussy cut them using our awesome Paper Snips.  

Happy Hump Day!!!  Thank you for stopping in today.  I really appreciate it.

Welcome to my first Merry Christmas Monday series!  Christmas is my favorite holiday, so I am really excited to share with you different projects for this holiday season.  

The first project I have for you is a Hershey Kiss gift card holder.  I saw one of these on Pinterest and thought it was so cute.  Of course, I had to make one and use a snowman on it.  LOL  

When we were at Lowe's this weekend I saw a wreath that had the same colors I used on this project.  At first I didn't care for it, but then as I looked at it, I started to really like it.  Who says Christmas has to be red and green only.  

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Coastal Cabana:

• cut at 6 3/4" x 9 3/4"
• score the 6 3/4" side at 1" and 5 3/4"
• score the 9 3/4" side at 2 3/4", 5 1/4", 6 1/4", 7 1/4", 8 1/4" and 9 1/4"
• cut at 7/8" x 4 3/8"

Flirty Flamingo:

• cut at 2 3/8" x 4 5/8"
• scrap for circle

Whisper White:

• scrap for sentiment

Let It Snow Designer Series Paper

• cut at 2 1/4" x 4 1/2"
• piece to punch out snowman

Window Sheet

• cut at 2" x 4 5/8"

Can you believe I punched out the snowman from a piece of designer series paper and then added the hat and mittens from the Let It Snow Embellishment kit.  

Here is my Facebook Live on how to make this gift card/treat holder. 

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a fabulous Monday and week.  See you tonight at my Facebook Live.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the pictures from my Holiday Extravaganza event.  I know I have shown you a lot and have spread it out over the last few weeks.  There has been so much that I have wanted to share with you, I knew I couldn't do it all at one time or in one week. 

The above picture is of the room where the attendees at lunch.  While they were there, Robin, Erica (my daughter) and I changed the room over from Fall to Christmas.  

The top picture is the area at the front of the room and the bottom picture is of upcoming classes at my stampin studio.

More pictures of our Christmas decorations around the room.

The new centerpieces for the tables.  The paper on the box is the Toile Tidings Gift Wrap from the 2019 Stampin' Up! holiday catalog. 

When the attendees came back into the room they had the notebook and pen, Santa sleigh filled with a treat in the Santa bag, candy canes and chocolate and the snowman created with the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box.  We got the idea for the little snowman box from the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog on page 18.  

I was so excited when I heard that my sister (on the left), Jan, and Patty (on the right) my niece, were going to be able to come to my event.  They haven't been down to Ohio in 5 years.  So, this was such a special treat.  We had such a great time, I can't wait to see them again.  

We had such a great time at my Holiday Extravaganza.  I can't wait to do it again next year.  I am in negotiations with a couple of places, so as soon as everything is finalized I will let you know.  

Yay!  We get an extra hour of sleep this weekend!  I don't like that it will be getting dark so early at night now.  

Next Monday I will be starting my Merry Christmas Monday series.  I will be creating Christmas projects to share with all of you.  Then, on Monday night I will be creating the same project that will be on here on my Facebook Live.  I can't wait to share with you projects that I have already created for this series.  

Thank you for stopping by on this Friyay!  Have a great weekend and try to stay warm.  It is suppose to be a cold weekend here in Ohio.

Oh my goodness!  The Stampin' Up! October Paper Pumpkin is absolutely gorgeous!  I can't wait to make more of them.  I usually don't make more than one or two of the projects the way they are suppose to be made.  I am always changing them or creating something totally different.  Not this time!  I want to make them just like the kit says to do it.  

There are three different layers on this Christmas card that really make this card.  You have the base of the card with the two trees and the background colors.  Your next layer, popped up with Stampin Dimensionals, is the snow and birch trees.  The third layer is the sentiment, also popped up with Stampin Dimensionals.  

I had so much fun creating my alternative project, a shadow box.   It has been quite a while ago since I created one.  I had to go back and read my old blog post to see how to make it.  LO  If you would like to see it go to Shadow Box. 

I started this project with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  

Mary Ann Rossiter, a fellow demonstrator, had put the directions on Facebook on how to make a shadow box.  Here is the picture Mary Ann put on Facebook.

Here is the video I made during my Facebook Live on Monday.  I shared how to put the kit together and how to make the frame for the shadow box.  

I have a tip for you on how you can get more out of your Paper Pumpkin kit.

If you have the In The Woods dies, you can cut out two more trees from the section that is left over from the birch trees in the kit.  You now can make more Christmas cards or cards for other occasions using the trees.  I love that they have glitter on them.  

In November Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin will have Christmas tags that coordinate with the October kit.  Each kit is all inclusive, so you can get one without the other.  I have to say, I can't wait to see what the kit is going to be.  I bet it is going to be just as beautiful as this one.   This kit will have 24 holiday-themed gift tags of 4 various sizes and designs.

The final kit the attendees at my Holiday Extravaganza made was from the Brightly Gleaming suite in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  The Brightly Gleaming designer series paper is so beautiful, so we used it on each project.  

Did you know you can color the Very Vanilla/Copper 1/2" Classic Weave Ribbon with any of the Blends markers.   On this card they used the Night of Navy Blend marker.

Have you seen the Copper Metallic Ink?  It is so pretty.  You can really make it shine when you stamp your image and then put clear embossing powder on it and heat set it.  

We saw this card online and knew we wanted to include it in our kit.  This is a really fun card to make.  The ornaments look like they are floating.  

The Tufted embossing folder makes any card or project prettier.  I love how embossing folders take any project and makes them even more special.  

With this kit the attendees also made 3 Christmas tags.  These were fast and easy to make.  

You can't make tags and not have a holder for them.  

On Friday I will have the rest of the pictures from our Holiday Extravaganza.  We are already planning our next retreat for next fall.  When we get all the details figured out, I will let all of you.  

Tonight I will be sharing with you how to make the Christmas cards from the October Paper Pumpkin and an alternative project.  I absolutely love how my alternative project turned out and can't wait to show you.  Join me on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page at 7:00pm EST 

Next Monday I will be starting my Merry Christmas Monday series.  I will be creating Christmas projects to share with all of you.  Then, on Monday night I will be creating the same project that will be on here on my Facebook Live.  I can't wait to share with you projects that I have already created for this series.  

Thank you for stopping by today!  I really appreciate it.

Wow!  Can you believe it is my last Fall Friday for 2019!  That went so fast!  I hope you have enjoyed the projects I have created for you.  I have to say, I think this is my favorite one this year.   How cute is the Keurig gift card holder?!  It was so fun to make too!

I have to say, I am not the original designer of this project. I saw this on Pinterest and fell in love with it immediately.  I went to Lorri Heiling's website and purchased the template for it right away.  Thank you Lorri so much for creating this project.  I will definitely make a lot more of these.  

I put a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice K cup inside of the coffee cup, which fits perfectly. You could put chocolates inside of it too.  Who doesn't love chocolate.  I used the Tiny Keepsakes stamp set for the sentiment on the front of the Keurig.  This stamp set coordinates with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box dies in the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog. 

Tiny Keepsakes Bundle

Coming November 4th! 

Every Monday from November 4th - December 23rd I will be sharing with you different Christmas projects.  I am not sure what the projects are going to be yet, but I am thinking cards, gift card holders, 3D projects and scrapbooking.  Is there anything in particular you would like me to create?  Let me know at stampinscraper13@gmail.com.

I will be sharing with you the October Paper Pumpkin kit with alternative projects.   I will be on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page at 7:00pm EST.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday.  I will be sharing with you the second Christmas kit from Holiday Extravaganza. 

Happy Stampin and
