Hey there! I can't believe it's time to start thinking about making Christmas cards again, but with the 2022 July/December Mini Catalog starting this coming Friday and thinking about creating cards for my "Christmas in July" card class, I guess it is!

Last Friday I showed you a fall Mini Catalog Sneak with the Hello Harvest bundle of stamps and dies, so today I have a card created with products from the same catalog; Trees For Sale stamps and the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder.

Before embossing the Shaded Spruce layer I inked the inside of the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder with the White Craft Ink Pad. I love how it gives the trees a look of sprinkled snow! I stamped the largest solid tree with Shaded Spruce ink on Shaded Spruce card stock, then stamped the coordinating detailed tree over it with White Craft ink. After I cut out the tree with a coordinating Tree Lot Die (these dies are free with a $100 order during July or August from the Sale-a-bration brochure), I used a Blending Brush to add White Craft ink to the edges before adding it to the card front with dimensionals.

The string of lights was cut from White Glimmer Paper from the Real Red & White 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper found in the July/December 2022 Mini Catalog. I accented the lights with Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I stamped the greeting from Trees For Sale with Real Red ink on a 3/4" x 3 1/4" strip of Basic White card stock. I cut the ends at parallel points with Paper Snips. I cut Shaded Spruce card stock with a die from the same die set, then used the same blending brush to add white craft ink before adhering to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Inside I stamped another Trees For Sale sentiment with Real Red ink and a couple of the smaller solid trees from the set with Shaded Spruce.

Here's the supply list of available products in my online store. You will find the rest available in Friday, July 1st!

Hey there! Today I have a group of gift card holders to share with you! This is my last Sunday Swap Day for 2021, but don't worry, I will be back on Sunday, January 2nd with a brand new crop of swaps to share!

Note: a few of the products used to create these swaps, offered in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog have now sold out. I will note these products with a (R) after them.

First, Carol Slack used the Be Jolly (R) stamp set with a sentiment from Christmas to Remember to create her gift card holder swap.

The gift card holder area:

Next, Linda Pagel used Encircled in Warmth from the Holiday Catalog with Whimsy & Wonder (R) Specialty Paper for her swap creation.

Inside she created a simple folded pocket for the gift card with the opening accented with a partial punch with the Label Me Lovely Punch.

Laura Barto used a variety of punches, including the Sprig, Detailed Trio, and Starlit (which  will appear in next year's Holiday Mini), to create her snowman gift card holder.

Ruth Bingle used the Pine Tree Punch with Tidings of Christmas Designer Paper, both from the Annual Catalog, to create her pretty card/gift card holder.

A cute tri-fold!

Gail Connelly used the Host stamp set, Seasons of Fun (R) along with the Annual Catalog set, Count On Me, for her swap.

She used sentiments from Happiest Birthday for the inside. This is definitely for a winter birthday!

Hey there! Today I have a pretty snowflake card I CASE'd from myself! I CASE'd my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop card HERE to turn it into a Christmas card!

I used the Pearlescent Specialty paper from the Annual Catalog to stamp the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set with stamped-off-once Misty Moonlight ink. After stamping I then embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder. The Pearlescent paper is so much more shimmery in real life, this picture simply doesn't do it justice!

I cut the wreath with three different layers: vellum on the bottom, Silver Foil Specialty in the middle, and Misty Moonlight on the top. I adhered each with tiny dots of liquid glue.I tied a bit of 1 1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon, also found in the Annual Catalog, into a perky bow and added it with a glue dot.

I heat embossed the greeting from For Unto Us onto Misty Moonlight card stock, then double-punched with the Label Me Lovely Punch to get the smaller label. I also accented the card front with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Here's how I double-punched the greeting label. I only partially punched the embossed greeting once as shown here:

Then I attached a post-it-note to the punched piece to re-insert into the punch to punch the other side.

I used a sentiment from Snowflake Wishes on the inside and added a layer of Silver Foil behind it.

Here's a paper-saving tip! Cut the Silver Foil wreath layer out of the center of the inside foil layer before adhering to the inside of the card. After you add the stamped Very Vanilla layer (which coordinates with the creaminess of the Pearlescent Specialty paper better than Basic White) over it no one will ever know!

Hey there! Today my cards were created with the October Paper Pumpkin kit, "Peaceful Christmas". The fall and Christmas kits are my favorites of the year!

Peaceful Christmas contained everything needed: pre-printed card bases, lovely silver-embossed Shaded Spruce envelopes, stamps, ink, twine, and embellishments to make 10 cards, 5 each of two different designs! These cards came together in a snap!

The silver-embossed (foiled) envelopes are pretty enough to cut up and turn into card elements too!

I loved the font of this "Merry Christmas", and the glittery, snowy-looking gems are perfect with the snowy  background!

Each card making stamp set includes sentiments for the outside and the inside!

The second design in the kit included this lovely Shaded Spruce Buffalo Check designer paper layer, as well as pre-cut vellum trees and silver "Noel". Everything was assembled with the included adhesives: mini glue dots and stampin' dimensionals.

 Inside I used another sentiment from the kit, then stamped the tiny evergreens with the included Shaded Spruce ink.

This kit is no longer available to order, but it coordinated with the existing "Peaceful Place" Suite from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog!

You can choose from several products in this suite!

Hey there! Today I have a couple of cute projects to share with you that I've been working on for the craft fair this weekend. I saw where someone (I don't remember who) used the Jar of Flowers stamps and Jar Punch to make gift tags, so I decided to make some for Christmas!

I decorated the jar lids with Pattern Party Host Designer Paper on the left and Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer on the right. The greeting is from Sweet Little Stockings stamp set. I used a Christmas Trimmings die to cut the holly leaves, and cut the circles for the lids and greeting with a couple of the smaller Layering Circles dies.

This jar contains 6 tags, each adorned with Playful Pets trim to match the jar lid. I stamped the "To: From:" found in the Tidings & Trimmings stamp set with Real Red ink on the Kraft side of the tags, along with a Stampin' Up! copywrite stamp to fulfill the Stampin' Up! Angel Policy. I added a Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone to the holly on the jar lid for some sparkle.

The tags came together very quickly because so much of it was punched with the Jar Punch. I added a single Mini Stampin' Dimensional to the back of each tag for easy attachment to a package.

Hey there! I thought I was done making Stitched Stars Ornaments to share with you, but I decided to make one more using Garden Birdhouses again with a "rustic" look, then I found one more I had made with the Stars Are Shining that I hadn't shared yet, so here we are! lol!

I used Early Espresso and In Good Taste Designer Paper for the stars base, then stamped the birdhouse on Crumb Cake with Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends. Hand-cut with Paper Snips, I think when I make a bunch of these for the craft fair I will just stamp them on wood-grain designer paper (lighter than the base) to save time. I used strokes of Color Lifter to give this one a bit of a wood-grain look. I also added Clear Wink of Stella to all of the Sprig-punched Mossy Meadow for some shine.

On the back I added a sentiment from Words of Cheer, double-punched with the Tailored Tag to make it a bit narrower.

This Misty Moonlight Stitched Stars Ornament features The Stars Are Shining stamp set silver heat-embossed!

Punching out one of the stars with the Starlit Punch and adding Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Silver Swirls adds more sparkle.

The silver heat embossed sentiment is straight from The Stars Are Shining stamp set!

Whew! Finally done! Come back tomorrow for a calendar idea!

Hey there! Today I have my final group of Stitched Stars Christmas ornaments. I've had fun letting my creativity loose to make these!

My first one to share with you today was created with the Garden Birdhouses stamp set!

I stamped the birdhouse with stamped-off-once Tuxedo Black Memento ink, then colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I added a border around it all with a Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends.  I hand-cut the little birdie, then added with a snippet of a Stampin' Dimensional.

The final idea I had for these ornaments was to create a "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament with my soon-to-be-born 8th granddaughter, Scarlett, in mind!

For this one I used Real Red and Gold Foil for the sparkle, and Crumb Cake to stamp the teddy. The hat is an image in the Penguin Place stamp set found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

For the back I printed "Baby's 1st Christmas" from my computer. The snowflakes are cut with a Knit Sweater die. I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center. I used Evening Evergreen card stock for the middle star layer.

For the baby boy version I used Balmy Blue card stock and ink, with a silver-foil print from the Whimsy & Wonder 12" x 12" Specialty paper for the smaller star layer.

On the back side I used Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty paper and again computer-generated the sentiment.

Finally, I used Blushing Bride and a silver snowflake print from the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty pack along with the teddy from All For Baby. I'm so glad there is both gold & silver cording in the Simply Elegant Trim pack so I have both of the colors I need for each ornament!

After playing around with several shades of pink on my computer, I finally settled for this one. It doesn't really match the Blushing Bride card stock, but it was the closest I could get!

Now to just make a few more batches of each of the ornaments I have designed so I have plenty to sell at the craft fair! Oh, and then I will also make a custom one with Scarlett's name on it! Really excited about her birth!

Hey there! Today I have another set of Stitched Stars Ornaments with the Great Tidings stamp set. This was the set that I envisioned when I first started playing with this star ornament idea!

I used Blackberry Bliss for the largest Stitched Star, as well as Blackberry Bliss ink to stamp on the Very Vanilla smallest star.

I used Gold Foil for the middle Stitched Star and the swirls.

I added a Gilded Gem to the top of each wise men's gift.

I also added a Gilded Gem to the center of the Christmas Star.

This group of four ornaments came together quite quickly!

And yes, I'm not quite done with the Stitched Stars ornament concept quite yet! I have at least one more I will be sharing with you tomorrow, maybe two, so come back!
