The past couple of months have been a blur of wonderful holidays, seeing friends and family, and a very busy work schedule.  I’m so happy I had all the wonderful Stampin’ Up! products to help me through the holidays.

Here are some of the Kraft Gift boxes (124106) I used for gift cards.   I used Digital images from My Digital Studio downloads for the box fronts and sides.


This box highlights a sneak peek of one of the new Bigz XL Dies, called Designer Rosette, from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions mini catalog, which many of you have already received from me if you’ve purchased from me in the past year.  This new catalog has over 24 new stamps, several new Designer Series Papers, new jewels and trinket hearts, and several wonderful, new Sizzix Dies, like the one on the top of these boxes.  You can begin ordering from this catalog on January 4.

As much as I would prefer to use traditional scrapbooking products for my Scrapbooking, I find I just don't have the time or the space to create multiple pages that all match.  As a digital photo nut who often captures 500 photos at a time, I converted to digital scrapbooking to save time and space.  Going digital, I've created more scrapbook pages this year than I have in the past 6 years -- and they are so easy to share! 

With Stampin' Up! designer papers, cardstock colors, punch shapes and a wealth of pre-formatted templates available I have endless possibilities for creating original content or for customizing templates using colors that match my photos.

Holiday Glimmer Paper to Die for

  • Glimmer paper and dies make great holiday cards
  • You love Cookies....You love Stamps... why not a Cookie Stamp!
  • Free Big Shot Promotion for joining Stampin' Up! ends Oct 31

I'm still playing with different ways to use Glimmer Paper and dies.  Here's a card  I created.  I love trying different combinations of papers, ribbons, die cuts and embellishment until something feels right.  This combination uses my favorite die this year, the Perfect Pennants Die, which includes two scallop circle shapes.  I used the die with a background cardstock of Baha Breeze, and for the smaller scalloped circle I cut from a piece of Silver Glimmer paper.



The larger Bigz L Dies are ideal for cutting thicker materials like the Glimmer Paper using the Big Shot.  I also used the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder in the Big Shot to create a dry embossed background for my elements. 

There was a scrap of 1/8" Baha Breeze Taffeta Ribbon laying on my work surface and I absent-mindedly poked it through the holes in the die cut pieces while I was looking for the right embellishments to add.  I liked the way it looked and decided to use it with an Antique Brad that looked like a stamped snowflake.  The Sentiment is from the Curly Cute set from the big catalog.  I bought this set in both wood mount and in clean mount -- sometimes you just know you'll be using a set for many years to come and it's worth it to invest in something you know you'll use for a long time.    I would love to hear what you think of this card.

Visit my Online Store to buy the supplies to make this project
 
Recipe:
  • Stamps:  Curly Cute (117014-w, 120510-c)
  • Paper:   Whisper White, Baha Breeze, Silver Glimmer Paper (124005) - from the Holiday Mini Catalog,
  • Ink:  Baha Breeze 
  • Accessories:  Antique Brad (117273), Northern Flurry Textured Impression Embossing Folder(1240902), 1/8" Baja Breeze Taffeta Ribbon (122964), Big Shot Die Cut machine (113439), Paper Piercing Tool (116631), Mat Pack (105826)

Crafting and Baking...Cookie Stamps, anyone?
