Jan 1, 2019 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Cards, Embossing Paste |
Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see what 2019 will bring not only in my personal life but in my Stampin’ Up! life. I have plans to try some new things so be sure to stay in touch through my blog, my Facebook page and other social media platforms and in person at my events and classes.
For this card I used Embossing Paste. I want to share a tip with you about storing your paste. When the paste is new the container is sealed with foil, but when you open it up you have to break that seal. In order to keep the paste moist you want to store it sealed AND I add back a piece of foil. Just cut a piece and place it over the top of the jar and then screw the lid back on. I also put mine back in the little plastic bag but I think its the foil that makes the difference. This jar was originally opened in the spring and then I used it again these past couple of months and it was perfect. So if you have trouble with yours drying out then add the foil back to seal it up. It also helps while using the jar on a project – the foil just rests over the top and you don’t have to take the lid on and off while working.
Supply List
- Timeless Tidings Stamp set
- Shimmery White Embossing Paste
- Smoky Slate card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Basic Gray ink
- Silver Glimmer Paper
- Twinkle Adhesive backed Sequins
- Pattern Party Decorative Masks

One more little trick on this card. I used the Timeless Tidings Stamp set and if you look at the sentiment it also includes the words ” And A” as part of the stamp. Well I cut that part off of my stamp so I had just the Happy New Year. The Holiday catalog will end on January 2nd so you have a little bit more time to order anything you didn’t already get.
Be safe and enjoy the New Year!!

Dec 22, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Big Shot, Christmas, class |
Did you know you can make plaid deer? Use the Buffalo Check background stamp. And good news – it’s one of the stamp sets that will be carrying over from the Holiday catalog into the new year. Yay! Check out these quick little treats…
I folded some card stock – measure the bottom to fit the width of what you are putting inside and add a flap at the top to fold over the front. I punched two holes and tied the braided linen thread through. The top flap has been stamped with Buffalo Plaid stamp and so have the deer die cuts. Aren’t they cute? Even though it looks like black I actually used Basic Gray for all of the stamping.
Supply List
- Buffalo Check stamp
- Detailed Deer Thinlits Dies
- Christmas Pines stamp set
- Thick Whisper White Card Stock
- Real Red card stock
- Basic Gray ink
- Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker
- Basic Gray Stampin’ Write Marker
- Metallic Pearls
- Braided Linen Trim
- 1/8″ Handheld punch
- Stampin’ Trimmer
- Stamparatus
- Big Shot Die Cut Machine
In case you are wondering what is inside mine – well it’s Walker’s Shortbread Fingers. They are packaged in a plaid wrapper and coordinated perfectly with this project. I was able to find some at Tuesday Morning.
Merry Christmas to You!

Dec 22, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Big Shot, Boxes, Christmas |
This is a fun little treat idea if you need something to gift this weekend. We made this in my Tags & Treats class and I gifted one to the mail lady. I’m trying to get my Christmas cards out. Yesterday I had 75 go out and today another 40. There will be one more batch going out on Monday. I’m not sure if any will arrive before Christmas but as long as I get them in the mail by Christmas eve I’m ok with that. Hopefully the recipient will be too.
This is the gable box turned into a crate style box. Inside I have some festive cake balls. I stuck with a Red, White and Silver theme for this one. It’s a bit hard to see in the catalog but the Lustrous White Gable boxes have a shimmer to them – they aren’t just plain white.
Supply List
- Lustrous White Mini Gable Box
- 2×8 Cellophane bag
- Silver Glimmer Paper
- Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon
- 1/8″ Solid Real Red Ribbon
- Whisper White card stock
- Real Red Ink
- Dashing Deer Bundle – Dashing Deer stamp set + Detailed Deer Thinlits die
- Big Shot Die cutting machine
- Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets
I used some red striped paper straws to create the handle. So that you don’t tear the box use a hole punch the size of the straw at the top of the little slot. Mine was just a standard size hole punch like you get from the office supply store. And I used some scotch tape to hold the little cello bag shut after I put the cake balls inside. Enjoy!
Don’t miss the year end closeout sale – Happening now and the Clearance Rack – new items were added to it.
