Let the countdown begin! 7 weeks and counting (but who's counting)…I think we have some really great Holiday Stamp Sets this year! To me, they are very clean and simple…just like I like them!
The Christmas Collectibles Stamp Set is a keeper as it has great ornaments and the best thing…we have a punch, the Christmas Ornament Punch to make this a snap….no "fussy cutting" today!
The other BINGO-BANGO thing is…this comes in a bundle – what does that mean to you? Something that will make you smile…and instant 15% off when you purchase them together and guess what….if you are a Demonstrator, you'll get another 30% or 20% off…I say WOOT-WOOT!!!!
This is a "Susan" card for many reasons! I love the odd size, I love the simplicity, I love the minimal colors used…I love just everything!
Here is the scoop and I know that you like it when I give you the exact measurements! Here you go….please try this card and please send me your version! I love seeing your work!
- The card size 3 ½” X 7” in Whisper White
- The Old Olive is 3” X 6 ½”
- The next white base is 2 ¾” X 6 1/4”
- The Sentiment Stamp Set is from the Joy to the World Stamp Set and I
used the brush tip of the markers in Crumb Cake and Old Olive….gave them a “huff
of Stampin’ love” and PRESTO – a perfect image! This is an "A List" Stamp Set to have for the holidays!
- The Ornaments are in Old Olive and a TIP ALERT: When you have a stamp
that has a flat surface like this that needs great ink coverage, make sure you
do 2 things!
1. Make sure that your ink pads
are well inked…this is soooo important and will make your projects always look
so professional!
2. Take the sanding block and
give the stamp a good scruffin’ – this really helps let the ink soak in to give
you great coverage each and every time!
- Adding a simple touch of Linen Thread makes the Ornaments come to life! Also, adding some Stampin Dimensionals adds that punch that we all love!
- The envelope was made easy with the Envelope Punch Board and then the simple liner from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper…such a beautiful and fun collection of prints!
I think one of the things I like best about this card is the simplicity of it! When you break it down, this would be a super easy card to make many of….lots of simple stamps…cutting paper….and BAM – done! I can see the smiles!!!
With the hour glass turned with the holiday's fast approaching….and if you are going to want to make some projects for the holiday – why wouldn't you consider being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator? There is no obligation to stay….you can do it "your way" and this is a great way to get products at cost!
I thank you for your support, and please share my blog with your family and friends as the growth and friendships I have made during this fun journey is simply the best! I can hardly wait to go to Leadership in January to see many of the cyber Demonstrators I have had the privledge to get to know!
Tomorrow is the Pals Paper Art Challenge and I hope you will consider playing along….it is open to ANYONE and that means YOU!
Have a great day and I thank you for popping by! Remember, I am an email away and also you can click and have fun with my blog…..
Until tomorrow!
What a pretty card! Thanks for the added tips and of course all the dimensions! Dimension sharing is always a PLUS in my book!! 🙂
Have a great day.
Your card is beautiful, as usual! I like that ornament set and punch. I still have the one that got retired last year, which I like, too. I’ll have to try doing a similar card with it.
I would love to be a demonstrator! Some day…
I was glad to read that your husband is getting out and doing PT! I hope he heals quickly! You are both in my prayers!
Very nice Susan. You did a great job. I wish the ornaments were more rounded though.
Looks like this time Stampin’ Up kind of chiseled off the sides. Thanks for sharing so much with us.
Susan vary lovely. !!!!
Hugs frenchie,
Wonderful card! I love the punch and the stamp bundle. I have been hesitant on the sentiment stamp set but I really like here in the two colors. May have to be on my next order. I love the fun size of card and works perfectly for 3 of these ornaments! Of course, you had me at the old olive to start with! I can’t wait to see how people use this punch for other things. To me, I see a chubby airplane when I look at it on it’s side! I love punch art! I think I will have to try this card too. But, now I can’t remember if I ordered this bundle the other day or decided I had to wait a little bit. Either way, I gotta have it and I think I need to add the sentiment set too. I can never have enough holiday stamps in my book! Fun and wonderful card – can’t wait to see it in other colors as well though this is my first choice!
I had to come back for another look today of this beauty! After seeing some other holiday cards – in garish colors – this really quieted my thoughts. I am totally in love with it!
