October Club Projects

I thought you might like to see my October Club Projects. It’s never too early to make Christmas cards…thankfully the ladies in my stamp clubs agree. This month we focused on the Merriest Wishes Stamp Set and Merry Tags Framelits Dies from the Holiday Catalogue. Bundle them together and you save 10%.

Card #1
The star of this card is the shaker element. We used the foam adhesive strips, window sheets, and metallic sequins to create this beautiful ornament that is sure to delight young and old.
merriest-wishes-1Card #2
This tree cut-out shape is hung through a die-cut circle on the front panel. I think this was their favorite. Do you see the mini copper pinecone? Adorable.
merriest-wishes-2Card #3
We used aqua painters and a night of navy ink pad with refill to create this watercolor wash background. The woodland scene ornament was die-cut 5 times! … twice in crumb cake and once each in vellum, garden green, and early espresso. So worth it though.
merriest-wishes-3We also featured this die-cut in my Creative Christmas Class on the weekend.
merriest-wishes-5Hershey Nuggets are my go-to chocolate pieces for little treats over the holidays. It’s super easy to decorate them with strips of 1″ x 3″ Designer Series Paper. I used the Garden Green plaid pieces from the 6″ x 6″ Warmth & Cheer paper stack (#141991) on these. Place the chocolates in our 2″ x 8″ Cellophane Bags (#14173) and tie the bag closed with Kraft Rope Trim (#141996).  All these supplies are from Stampin’ Up! and can be ordered HERE.

Card #4
This last one is super simple and NOT a Christmas card. A number of greetings fit in that middle circle…so some of them it into a birthday card. This utilizes the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper. That whole pack is designed using Night of Navy and Whisper White…love.

More Cookie Cutters

This morning I have a few more projects using the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle. These were brought for display at our team meeting a couple of weeks back.

These first 2 were made by Sue-Ella Hardy. cookie-cutter8A cute little box…
cookie-cutter-9But look what’s inside!
cookie-cutter-10These adorable Santa earrings were made with Shrinky Dink, a StazOn ink pad, and markers. The instructions on the package say to heat in the oven, but did you know that an Embossing Heat Tool works as well? It makes you want to run out and buy some Shrinky Dink right now, right?!  Can you image gingerbread men earrings? These would make such cute stocking stuffers!

And then Alana Jean-Louis made these treat bags…
cookie-cutter-7I can think of a few nieces and nephews who would LOVE these. Can you spot Rudolph’s red nose in that bag? Clever idea.

If you are looking for some other inexpensive stocking stuffer and gift ideas, I still have a few spots left in my Creative Christmas Class this Friday, October 21st. Email me to save your spot at winona@thestampinroom.com.

Don’t forget about the Designer Paper Sale that’s going on now. You can stock up on the super cute Candy Cane Lane paper to start your Christmas crafting!

Stitched With Cheer

Are you looking for a simple way to get your Christmas cards done this year? I LOVE our new Stitched With Cheer Project Kit. Stitching is a very hot trend right now in the paper industry, and it takes me back to my cross-stitching days. stitched-with-cheer-1The Stitched with Cheer Kit makes 18 cards: 6 of each of these 3 designs. Each design is already pierced…you just need to poke them through with your needle (which also is included:)) They are SO beautiful in real life. And I love that they come with coordinating envelope liners.

On this one, the trees are 3-D…you sew through 2 layers…adorable.stitched-with-cheer-2This one is sewn with white and gold baker’s twine. The gold enamel dots add that special accent to each card.stitched-with-cheer-3And finally… I think this is my favorite. I still love the country look of burlap and plaid.stitched-with-cheer-4If you watch this video before you begin assembly, it has some helpful tips for you. I will be buying a few of these kits this year. I put the first one together on our last road trip. It’s great to take with you anywhere.

Ready to start? You can either gather a group together and I will bring the extra supplies needed…or…you can make it on your own with a few additional products:
Stitched with Cheer Stamp Set (p. 34 of the Holiday Catalogue), Basic Black Archival Stampin’ Pad, Emerald Envy Classic Stampin’ Pad, and adhesive.
