Black Friday is a week from today but who needs to wait for a week when you can get great Stampin’ Up! deals today!
As promised, I am going to try to show you cards and projects using the products that are on sale!
Simply click the picture below and you will see the whole list of goodies that are available just until December 2nd!
This is a “Susan Card” – love the simplicity of it and I love the fun and festive colors! Can you believe that you can get so much wow on a small card of this size!
This is using the Notecards and Envelope, which is just a 3 ½ “X 5” card, and another great thing about this card is there is no extra postage needed!
Stamp the “deck the halls” sentiment from the Christmas Messages Stamp Set in the middle of the card! I used Cherry Cobbler! YEP – this stamp set is on sale….woot-woot!
TIP ALERT: I have so many people email me and ask me how I get my stamp impressions so even and bold = I KEEP MY INK PADS INKED UP!
I think that many times we over look purchasing the re-inkers but they are so important to have,
especially in the colors that you use often!
There is nothing worse or more frustrating than to be working on a project and the image is not coming out crisp and clean! Try to get in the habit of keeping your ink pads well inked – you’ll be a happier stamper!!!
1st cut a piece of Crumb Cake into the size of the card, 3 ½” X 5”….hang tight – you’ll understand why later!
Pulling out the Big Shot and also the magnetic platform (LOVE THIS) I used the Deco Labels Framelit to cut out the frame! YEP – this is on sale….woot-woot!
TIP ALERT: I know it is the “type A” in me, but I did pull out the ruler to find the center as you really do want this to be rather precise! A quick turn of the Big Shot and presto!
NOW take this to your stampin trimmer and cut off 1/8” all the way around so you will get the mat effect….stampin’ dimensions all around makes the wow for this card!
To add a little interest I pulled out some punches….not necessary at all but if you have this punch I would “go for it”!!! it is the Bird Builder Punch – it took me forever to purchase this punch and I will say…wow – there are sooooo many great ideas to use this punch with it!
When in doubt – google it! You will be amazed with just putting in the item – Stampin’ Up! – WATCH OUT…you’ll get LOTS of ideas!!!
Using the old olive paper I did a quick punch of the vine and did a quick trim to make it a bit shorter….then just a couple of cherry cobbler dots to add the berries!
I did stamp the inside of the card with the sentiment that is on this stamp set…what a wonderful message!
The lining of the envelope was a cinch with the Envelope Liner Framelit and the Big Shot! If you do not have both of these tools – please write Santa a note!
The paper was from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack…and when you make this size of card…you can get 2 liners from one sheet of paper! Fun!!!
Do you realize that you could line 96 envelopes with just 1 pack of this for $6.95 –
I say….wowzers!
I adore this card and I will say that this is one that I will definitely make…it won’t be my “end all” pick for the family card but I will be making many of these as I just love the simplicity and clean lines of this card!
I hope that you have printed off this list and check it twice…and I hope that I continue to inspire you with ideas from this sale list!

Love it Susan! Thanks for sharing another beautiful creation!
I love your simple cards!! So elegant!!! Thanks so very much!!!!
This is a very good idea – makes a small card look big and special! Also wanted to tell you the snowflake background sanded with the ornaments was a very special card. It really had punch! Thanks for your great ideas.
Great Card. Happy Friday! 🙂
Another winner! I love this card! The same idea would work for non-Christmas cards, too! (I don’t do many Christmas cards, but I love Christmas stamps and punches, etc., and have way too many of them!)
And, thanks for the tip on googling the bird punch! Wow! People are creative!
Such a clean and pretty card!
Love this one, Susan, perfect!
Yes – you are right Bridget! This would work with many different themes! I did it before with the telephone and thought it was super sweet!
Have fun playing around with google – it is a big help to me! Have a fabulous weekend!
Another wonderful card! I love everything about it! This is definite, I need this stamp set! I think I broke down finally and bought the bird punch but I don’t think I have used it…..ummm, I need to look for it. I actually tried putting my punches away but then I forget about what I do have. I need to make a master list or something. I never thought about googling a punch – what a great idea. Anyway, this is such a pretty card – when I saw it, I just sighed with a smile – so calming and soothing! Love your little trademark dots! The sentiment inside is perfect – I sort of forgot it was in that set. Thanks Susan for reminding me!
