Everyone loves DASHER and why not when the little guy is less than $9.00 and one of Stampin' Up!'s top selling stamps! You get this one stamp which is simply gorgeous when stamped on your holiday cards.
DELIGHTFUL DECORATIONS is a really sweet and easy to use holiday stamp set! This is a simple card with clean lines and relaxing colors.
I love using fun, new products to make simple cards. This card was part of my stamp-a-stack at THE MECCA--where I hold my classes in New York City. It is using SNOW BUDDIES-a hostess set in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
Today's project was inspired by a lantern done by Heather, an amazing member of my Gotham City Stamper Downline. She did a fun lantern for Halloween and I was excited to recreate it for the holidays.
It is simply (3) 6X8 sheets of Designer Series Paper run through the BIG SHOT using the TOP NOTE DIE. The middle of each side if vellum stamped with SERENE SNOWFLAKES and embossed.
I picked up a small battery operated votive candle and put that inside the lantern. This picture is a little odd but I wanted you to see it all lit up!
Here is a close up of the snowflakes!
When I took the picture of the lantern, I put it on this table and put down a beautiful piece of paper. After I took the lantern off, I thought it would look pretty to keep the paper on the table under the candle that was originally there.
Our paper is a beautiful and simple way to add some color and holiday cheer to a table. It looks like a really elegant placemat! NICE!

I love DASHER for so many reasons. He has nice, clean, simple lines and the lil' guy is only $8.95! This is another card that I used at my holiday stamp-a-stack. It was a huge hit as it only took a few minutes and really made a beautiful impact. Do you love DASHER as much as I do? You can order this happy guy on my ONLINE BOUTIQUE.

I LOVE this new hostess set from the HOLIDAY MINI CATALOG! You can earn this stamp set by placing a $150 (or more) order! I saw a card similar to this one on www.splitcoaststampers.com and thought it was so simple and elegant. I tweaked it and used it as one of my four cards for my recent Stamp-a-Stack Class! Do you love to shop online? Check out this amazing site!
I love this beautiful new Stampin' Up! stamp set, Serene Snowflakes. I love using snowflakes to make holiday cards and I really love how elegant these stamps are. At the 2008 Stampin' Up! Convention, we learned how to use circles to make really fun and easy pop up cards.
First, I ran BASHFUL BLUE through my BIG SHOT using one of the Stampin' Up! Texturz Plates. I wanted very simple swirls for the front of the card. I like doing a pretty simple card front when the inside of the card pops a lot of punch.
The inside can be made by punching out a few circles, here I used five circles in RICH RAZZLEBERRY. You then cut them into swirls--I teach second grade so I we call this type of cutting "snakes".
Then, glue the tail of the snake into the card. Put some adhesive on the other end of the snake (make sure it is coiled inside of your card). Then, close the card. This will make the "snake" stick from the top and the bottom of the card.
I used Serene Snowflakes and stamped them in Silver Pigment Ink and cleared embossed them. The snowflake for the front seemed perfect with a clear crystal brad in the center.
The other smaller snowflakes were for the inside of the card! FUN!
This is the front of the card--you might have noticed the sparkle on the blue cardstock. I made my own glimmer mist using water, reinker and a bit of the new Stampin' Up! Shimmer Paint. Shake it up and spray!

This is the final post for the RemARKables Holiday Blog Tour! It was so much fun. This is my favorite project so far--yes, I love the project itself but more importantly the pictures of many of the amazing GOTHAM CITY STAMPERS from the Stampin' Up! Convention 2009.
For this frame, I used a paper mache frame and painted it brown. Once the paint dried, it was so much fun to paint it all over with CHAMPAGNE MIST SHIMMER PAINT. My friend, Eileen, said it looked like fabric once that dried. I then used VERY VANILLA CRAFT INK to stamp the flowers from the CHARMING STAMP SET. The butterfly as well the "CRAFT" piece of the art are also stamped using stamps from that set. I can't wait for the SIMPLY ADORNED JEWELRY to go on sale so I can use that elegant set for that!
Major shout out to my amazing team members that are featured in these pictures:
Melissa, Eileen, Pat, JennyB, Laurel, Corris, Gayle, Yvonne and Jen. You gals are amazing and have truly touched my life! HUGS!
TOO CUTE for words! I am loving this brand new stamp set SWEET CENTERS from Stampin' Up! Here, I used the hot air balloon images and filled the plastic sweet treat cup with SKITTLES! I have two young nieces and I am sure they would love a card that is full of candy treats. Imagine the possibilities of what you can do with this! I teach second grade at a school which promotes very healthy eating--trying to think of what I could put in here that is yummy and healthy. Or some sort of school supplies...any ideas? Post them in the comments section of this blog. I would love to hear them!
Stay tuned for another card using this set--so cute! And check out the blog of the amazing,Carolyn Serviss and remember to leave tons of comments. We LOVE hearing them!
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
Here is another Christmas card using amazing products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini. I was inspired by a card that I saw online and decided to embrace the design.
I LOVE the new Delightful Decorations Stamp Set and the Ornament Punch! I was able to stamp the ornaments and use the punch to quickly punch them out. The picture looks like I may have done a masking technique to get the ornaments to look like one is on top of the other. BUT, I punched them out and used dimensionals to layer the top ornament on top of the other two ornaments.
My friend and downline, Pat, told me that she saw how someone used the punch online to make a flower. They cut out five ornaments and glued them together like flower petals. How cool and very versatile!
