Double the Fun

With

Double Loyalty Bucks

Hi Everyone,

I'm so excited to let you all know that beginning today through November 30th, you can earn double Loyalty Bucks. That's right, instead of 1 buck for a minimum $25.00 order, you receive 2. This is a chance for me to thank you all of visiting my blog, commenting, sharing, and ordering from my online store. Once you place an order, I get an email telling me. I can then email you your loyalty bucks and tracking sheet.

Now is the time to fill out your wish list and get those products you need for holiday crafting. I finished up a fun 12 Days of Christmas swap and I thought I'd share a cute goodies box I made. I used the clear tiny treat boxes to fill with chocolates. I didn't do any stamping. I used the Quilted Christmas DSP stack and the Christmas Around the World DSP for the Nutcrackers and saying. 

I couldn't have left off that cute bow either. I just love the Christmas Quilted 1/4" Ribbon. This is such a value. There are 10 yards and the feel of the ribbon is great! Put these items on that wish list. You can make many of these boxes for your friends and family in a snap.

Be sure to take advantage of Double Loyalty Bucks and place an order . Be sure to use my November Hostess Code #RRGBSMSE for your chance to win hostess rewards. A minimum $25.00 qualifies you.

Merry Cafe
More to Love

Hi Everyone,

Stampin' Up! always does a great job coordinating stamp sets and the framelits and thinlits. Coffee Cafe is a great set with coordinating framelits. Merry Cafe is a wonderful set in the Holiday Catalog that offers all year cheer. 

These are a couple of the samples you can find in the holiday catalog. I love the different sayings for the wrap around the cup. At my class, I decided to use both sets to show how much of a value both sets and framelits are.

Who doesn't love a bit of bling and pink!

This is a great holiday card using Holiday DSP

This is one of my favorite gift card holders. Simply use the
gift bag thinlit and create a thoughtful gift.

Add your personal note for your recipient and help
them have a better day.

Now is the perfect time to use these stamp sets. As the holidays get closer, you can create wonderful holiday cards as well as gift pouches for that special someone.

Design Challenge 

Winner + Stampin' Blends

Hi Everyone,

I recently hosted a Finding Inspiration Friday card challenge and my wonderful friend Christi won with this beautiful blue project. It was really fun to receive entries. Christi won the Embossing Paste suite, so she can enjoy creating wonderful textured projects. On her project, Christi used a template and did use Embossing Paste after she colored it. 

This was the design template that I posted for the contest. I was very excited for this one, because I love Designer Series Paper and I knew my stamping friends would us the papers in a mix and match way.

This fun project was created by my friend, Jessica. She used some of our discontinued products. I love her mermaid.

Monica made this birthday card for her daughter. I love that this project looks like a collage. The fall colors and copper 19 really stands out.

It's fun to put out a challenge to my stamping friends. They say it helps them to use the products they have and helps them in their creativity. I hope you will be motivated to participate in my next design challenge.

Giving Thanks

Blogging Friends Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to another wonderful Blogging Friends Blog Hop. We are demonstrators from all over and want to make this blog hop all about Giving Thanks. We are thankful for another demonstrator joining us this month. Welcome to Nikki. Be sure to share our blogs and spread the fun of stamping.

For this project, I used the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper and the Painted Autumn Stamp set. I really like the font of this set. My base is Soft Suede and I can't get enough of the Copper Ribbon Trim. If you don't have the Layering Oval Framelits, be sure to put these on your Christmas list. They are fantastic. 

If it wasn't for the Painted Autumn DSP, I would never have put Soft Sky with these fall colors. The vintage leaves stamp so beautifully. They have so much detail to them. It's great to have the coordinating Leaflet Framelits. It makes card making a snap.

Wink of Stella adds that WOW factor to your project. 

I hope you enjoyed my projects for today's blog hop. I am always thankful for the beautiful days and the changing leaves this time of year. Well it's time to hop along to see what    is thankful for. Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment. I love to chat about stamping.

A Spooky Day

With Treats

Hi Everyone,

First of all, Happy Halloween. I just love today! It is my favorite time of year and it tops off with trick or treats tonight. My daughter helped me prepare treats for my coworkers. I work at an elementary school as well as the district offices, so I have lots of treats I need to make. What is so cool is that making 50 treat tubes and over 40 treat bags, it only took about 1 1/2 hours. Thank goodness for Designer series paper and punches!

A simple 3 1/4" X 6 " made this cute wrap for the candy bag.
I just punched out a spooky cat and my saying with the Label
Me Pretty punch. Super cute!

What a quick and cute treat! M & M candies fit perfectly. Just
add a cute punched out tag and YUM!

Here are my 50 test tube treats for at the school today. These
orange baskets are perfect.

How much fun was that? Just a little effort will make someone's day, so be sure to treat someone today. I hope your Halloween is a fun day.

Happy Stampin'

Stampin' Blends

by Stampin' Up!

Hi Everyone,

It's so exciting to know that the new Stampin' Blends will be release in just 5 days to the world! I just used the Blends in my weekly stamping class and wanted to share our projects. What I love about the Stampin' Blends is that they color so smoothly on cardstock and blending is a snap.

I love the font of the Thank You stamp

These birds are a perfect pair. Stamp them together or
apart. There is a lot of choices.

2 little lanterns make this project so fun. Add a little sequins
and it's perfect

The Color Me Happy stamp set is fantastic. The Color Me Happy Coordinating kit is even more fantastic! There are 16 project, 4 of each and they are so cute. I know that 5 days away seems like forever, but count down to must have.

There are 26 Stampin’ Blends + 1 Color lifter to make your coloring come to life on your stamping projects. These fantastic alcohol markers are so wonderful to use. They glide over your paper and blend so nicely. To purchase the complete set with shipping and tax costs $145.00. That doesn’t even allow you to earn hostess benefits because a minimum party is $150.00 before shipping and tax.

Do I have a fantastic club for you!

Join the Color Me Happy Stampin’ Blend Club and in 4 months, you will have all of the Stampin’ Blend markers as well as getting hostess benefits all for $120.00.

One Sheet Wonder

6 x 6 Designer Series Paper

Hi Everyone,

Well my recent Weekly Wednesday Class was a lot of fun! I decided to do a 6 x 6 piece of Designer Series Paper, DSP, to do a "One Sheet Wonder" class. Doing the smaller size allowed me to keep the class to just 2 hours. If I tried to do the 12 x 12 DSP One Sheet Wonder, it can take many hours because you make up to 12 projects. My projects you see above were inspired my Demonstrator Megan Daves. She had a 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder, and I decided to C.A.S.E hers. The small 3 x 3 in my projects was an extra project because the small piece of DSP was considered a scrap.

This was Megan's sample of her projects from a couple of years
ago. I really liked her 6 x 6 DSP idea and decided to C.A.S.E.

I really liked Megan's layouts from this a couple of years ago. For my class, I decided to use the Birthday Blooms stamp set and Tranquil Tide as my color story. 

For this class, I used the Fresh Florals DSP stack. I used the Tranquil Tide sheets and allowed my customers to choose whichever design they liked best. Then for added texture, I used the Layered Leaves Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder. Silver Glimmer Paper, 3/8" Metallic Edge Silver Ribbon, and the 1/8" Silver Ribbon made these cards very elegant.

I really love that Stampin' Up! came out with Thick Whisper White Cardstock. White is the perfect base for these two samples, but you need that heavy cardstock to have the card feel sturdy. I used the Layering Ovals Framelit Dies for these as well as the other projects. The Metal Rimmed Pearls and Rhinestones add that perfect touch.

This is the cute 3 x 3 card I added to class to use up the little strip that is considered scrap in the 6 x 6 template. This made the cutest little Happy Birthday. 

I hope you like the cards I created based on Megan's template. I have the template for you too, so you can create your own projects using the colors and stamp sets that you like. Comment and share if you like. I love to chat with other crafters. 

If you really liked this, you might like to sign up for my Stamp of the Month Oh What Fun for November. I am planning to do a "One Sheet Wonder" class using the stamp set and a 12 x 12 Sheet of DSP. Here is a preview of the fun Stamp of the Month.

Wonderful projects created by Chick-n-Scratch
