Just a quick post for you with a few Christmas cards I haven't shared yet. With Christmas coming up so fast and so much still to do, I haven't had a chance to put supply lists together. So if you have any questions about what I used, please don't hesitate to contact me!
This one was a fun one to make. Plus I like that it's not the typical red and green color combo. And see those fancy scallops I stamped on the Cherry Cobbler panel? Can you guess what those are? Well, believe it or not, that's the peacock image from World Treasures (also available as a single stamp
through January 2, 2013)! Just hide the peacock's head and body under another panel and you've got a great border!
This was actually going to be my Christmas card this year, but it was just too much work. Then it was going to be my next Think Outside the Jar card, but I just ran out of time! The good news is that the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and Framelits are still going to be available even after the Holiday Catalog ends on January 2nd! Love these! I made a shaker card and punched stars and a heart out of glimmer paper to put in the shaker. Cute!
Did you think I forgot that I said Think Outside the Jar would be a series? :) I can't believe I posted the first video in August - it feels like just a couple weeks ago! My second project featuring the Perfectly Preserved stamp set in unique and creative ways is this cute and cheerful Halloween card.
This is one of the cards I made for swaps back when my upline and I went to Stampin' Up's regional event in Providence, RI. I've been sitting on this video for weeks, I just haven't had the chance to edit and post it! So go ahead and check it out! I gotta say I'm kinda in love with this card! :)
So just a little heads up for you, my friend. I know I haven't been holding up my end of the bargain as far as posting regular videos lately. No Start-to-Finish Sunday in like 3 weeks, and then I post 3 videos in one week? What's up with that? :) So I want to tell you in advance this week that I'll be on vacation next week so I won't be posting any new cards or videos until after October 24th. I still have a few Halloween ideas I want to share, so if I have the time, awesome, but please don't be mad at me if you don't hear from me for a while, OK?
Welcome to a new mini video series! As if I didn't have enough on my plate these days :)
I'm completely addicted to the Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. Of course, I love all the little images that come in the set, but as soon as I saw it I started dreaming up all sorts of other ways to use it. So I'm shooting for maybe 4 or 5 videos to help you "think outside the jar" (can you tell I'm proud of that title? lol!) and mix up your stamp collection.
It's Labor Day Weekend - the unofficial end of the summer. But there's still plenty of nice weather yet to come, and plenty of chances for outdoor entertaining. So for my first video, I wanted to show you what I think is a super cute place card idea. Plus, since I decided to use the corn image - what's better than corn on the cob for a summer party, right? :) - you can totally recycle these for Thanksgiving!
