I am continuing with projects from the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event this past weekend. I had two friends, one is a downline of mine, coming in from Florida for the event. As Atlanta weather goes we were having very chilly weather, especially on Thursday when they were arriving. I found a little humorous gift for them and made a package for them.
I realize I have once again used the snowman products, but in this instance it was very appropriate. Do you see the designer series paper theme? It is mittens. And that is what is wrapped in the tissue paper. I found the little “one size fits most” pull on gloves. I love these because I have really short fingers and they fit my fingers! LOL!!! The added bonus is they are very inexpensive and great as little add on gifts. Or in my case because I tend to loose at least one of them.
I used the 6 X 8 Cello Bags for the gloves. The topper is made by using a 6 X 4 piece of Poppy Parade Card Stock and added a 5 3/4 X 1 2/3 piece of Coastal Cabana to the front and back. That is topped by a piece of 5 1/2 X 1 1/2 piece of the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper. It is also on the front and back. I folded this over the top of the bag and secured it with two staples, both placed towards the center. I used the old SU stapler that is retired. But any small craft or desk stapler would work fine.
For the tag, I used a 2 X 5 strip of Whisper White card stock. It is punched at the bottom with the Banner Triple Punch and at the top with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. I stamped a scene from the Snowman Season stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. It is highlighted with the Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is one of my go to themes. It is from #Elfie stamp set.
Thank you for stopping by today. I will have a few more different projects for you in the next couple of days.

As I mentioned on Friday, I attended two Stamping Events Friday and Saturday. Friday was an event from Brian King. He is known to most of you stampers, and also is my Stampin’ Up! Upline. Saturday was a Stampin’ Up! Event. More about that later.
Brian’s event had a card swap included. I am sharing my swap card with you today. Let me just say that I am happy with how it turned out. BUT…when you are making 50 of something, a lot of layers may not be the best way to go!! LOL!!!
Isn’t the snowman just so darn cute? I have used that suite of products several times. He is so easy to work with and always makes me smile so I knew he had to be the focus of my swap card.
I paired the snowman with the Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper Stack. I adore these plaids prints. And what goes better with a cold snowy day than warm plaid. To highlight the gold accent in the plaid, I placed a strip of Gold Foil behind the plaid.
The circles were what seemed to be the easiest method of producing a lot of backgrounds. The snowman has the 2″ Circle Punch and the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch. They are in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce. Those are also the colors in the plaid. I chose the Night of Navy background partly because it is in the plaid, but also because I thought it would show off the snowman the best.
The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas. I love the font of the Christmas. And I adore it when they do more than one font on a sentiment. I added the Gold Foil behind the sentiment to compliment the gold stripe in the DSP. I used the 1″ Circle Punch and the 1 1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch for this layer.
Thank you for coming back today to see my swap card. I will have some more treat projects and card ideas from the weekend to share with you this week.

I am sharing a rather different color challenge for Paper Players challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the colors. But when I first saw them I had to think a minute. Now however, I am in love and trying to figure a way to incorporate some Bermuda Bay into my Christmas decorations. I went wild with my colors last year so I’m mostly there with two of the three colors.
What do you think? I believe these bright colors all work wonderfully together. The only problem I had was there is not a Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Blend. I made do with the Stampin’ Write Marker in Gorgeous Grape and actually the lines it left on the stocking topper works.
Here is the challenge from Paper Players:

Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects for “Layer It Up” – showcasing our favorite Designer Series Paper and embellishments. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For my “Layer It Up” card, I chose the Christmas Rose Bundle and the beautiful Christmastime Is Here Designer Series Paper. I LOVE this suite of products and it was perfect for what I wanted to create based on our theme.
The focal point is this beautiful Rose image. I stamped the large rose image in Memento Tuxedo Ink and then used the individual stamps to “color in” the image. It was so much fun! I didn’t get the exact position on some pieces and I am okay with that. It gives it character I believe. 🙂 After I finished stamping, I cut out the image using the matching die.
The Gold Shimmery Ribbon is part of this suite of products and works so beautifully with the DSP that has the gold running through it. The sentiment is part of the set and the shape is a part as well. I love the coordination.
The background is almost as pretty as the flowers. It is two different pieces of the Christmastime Is Here Designer Series Paper. To finish off this card, I added some of the Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the roses and on the sentiment layer.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 11th, for our Retirement Fun Fold Party when our Design Team showcase projects using retiring products from the Holiday Catalog with a fun fold card. Don’t miss the fun!

I love sketch challenges. It is a perfect way for me to begin a card. In other words, it makes my life much easier! So today I am playing along with the Global Design Project #214 for a sketch challenge.
It is also the first time I have inked up the Nature’s Beauty stamp set. Oh my! I adore this stamp set!! I hope you will give it another look. It is on the last page of the Holiday Catalog.
Here is the sketch for the challenge.
That deer is so pretty. He , or she, is so peaceful looking. Exactly what I wish for this Holiday season. I hated to add the sentiment and cover up part of the deer. But after seeing the beautiful script of the sentiment, I fell in love with it as well. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas. I have all of the “Itty Bitty” stamp sets. This one is especially great with different fonts for the variety of Christmas wishes.
The background designer series paper is from Magnolia Lane DSP. I thought the leaves paired beautifully with the deer and his woods. To emphasize the “snow”, although you have to use your imagination there, I added the Shimmery Crystal Effects to the base of the trees and at the deer’s feet.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you will come back tomorrow for another new project.

I am back to holiday cards today. I am combining the Cup of Christmas Bundle with the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper. This paper is a favorite of mine. I am sure you have noticed that as much as I have used it!
It is hard to say what is the star of this card. I love the designer series paper. I have used three different patterns of the Let It Snow DSP. For the mug, I stamped on the DSP then used the matching die to cut it out.
The glitter on the sentiment of the mug is added to by Shimmery Crystal Effects. I also added just a bit of the White Snowball Accents Puff Paint along the rim of the cup. I was very light handed with it in that I didn’t want too much “foam”. I have not played with puff paint in quite a while. It is so fun.
The candy cane is cut using the matching dies. It is two pieces. There is a solid white layer and then the striped red layer. I attached the two and placed them under the cup. Just for some cuteness i added a bow to the candy cane.
I hope you will give these two neat products a try – the Shimmery Crystal Effects and the Snowball Accents Puff Paint. They are perfect for hot chocolate!
Thanks for stopping by today, please return tomorrow.
