Welcome to the 1st day of the showcasing of the Holiday Swap Cards that many of you sent! There are some real keepers and I am sooo darn tootin' proud of each and everyone of you….YOU give me inspiration each day.
Please do not worry if you do not see your card today, I have many cards so I am spacing them out for your enjoyment!
Have fun, please leave them comments of love as this is an incredible treat for all of us…..seeing and learning from others is the best way to jump start our Mojo…
What a fabulous use of the DSP….and I adore the embossing folder…the enamel dots make me smile but the icing on the cake is this amazing envelope! Super fun card!
Robyn is a part of what I call, "The 3 stamp-a-teers"….3 very special ladies that always make me in awe of their work and friendship!
I had to share with you 2 pictures of this card as I want you to see how spectacular and easy these framelits are to create a WOW card. I adore the navy, it is so rich and classic!
You can see how Susan cut from the (1) piece of white paper to get the fun image to the front and the inside of the envelope! Super job!
WOOT-WOOT….this is from our dear friend "Chris R. from Iowa"….What a super fun and clean card ~ I love this paper and I know that it is hard to see in the picture but she added some "bling " to the centers of the snowflakes! Beautiful….just beautiful ! The gold foil is super-de-duper!
You always bring the blog so much joy….I truly wish that we did not live so far a part!
I wish that the pictures came out better but I snapped (2) for you to get the feel of this fun swing card! This is a fun card and I love how you can still stamp a sentiment. Whenever a card is "interactive" and instant smile is next! Great job with this super fun plaid paper, I am adoring these paper stack!
Adorable…..simply adorable and I am sure that our friend Caleb helped you! You are soooo darn clever with the igloo – I am sure that this will be cased away. I know that my mailman smiled when he saw this super sweet envelope!
Great use of the vellum….I need to use that more!
This is a "Susan Card" – Again, we are seeing this great paper! I think that many of us are on the same page….great paper….great prints…great value! Many thanks for reminding me to use the embossing folders and then sponging over top.
I admit, I forget about that and it does make a HUGE difference….instant warmth!
This is another super example of using and embossing folder – look at the difference it makes! Again, the camera did not do this beauty justice as there is silver in the area under the trees….it is just beautiful!
These wooden snowflakes have been a huge hit – loved how you used this for a perfect balance!
Aren't these amazing….doesn't it bring joy to your heart to see others talents! Trust me, there is more on the way – I do love to showcase your work as I am sure that it brings a smile to you but it makes my heart pitter-patter!
Until tomorrow!

Good Morning! This is exciting to be able to share with you some of the "fun make-n-takes" that we made on Saturday at the unveiling of the New Occasions catalog with Stampin' Up's On Stage event!
Darn, I wish that I could share with you the catalog and also the Sale-a-bration goodies…you will smile, trust me!
Below are 3 photos that will tantalize you with products from the catalog that goes live January 5th….YIKES – when I hear the word January I think of it being far…far away but look at that darn calendar….
This is a fabulous collection….one that is super versatile. I love the framelits (plus it comes as a bundle) there are many dies and they cut out great basics that will "fill" here and there….I just love fillers!
Another super fun ting…there is a flower in this stamp set that you can also double stamp on the DSP if you wish to give the flowers on the DSP more details!
I can clearly see this as a great set for a traveler….super masculine cards….a set that will allow you to think out of the box! LOVE the embossing folder!
This picture does not do this offering justice – this is one that you all are going to go BONKERS over! You know how I love the itty bitty punches…..well I say, MOVE OVER as you now have some cousins!
There are 3 mini punches that cut out the balloon, candle and cupcake….I say THANK YOU – I adore punches – a total time saver!
It was a super fun day and I was thrilled to make the above make-n-takes but even happier to come home with (3) free stamp sets and the amazing catalogs to drool over while I make my "shopping list" (I actually was able to pre-order some things)
Speaking of shopping lists….don't forget to check out the retiring list from the current Holiday Catalog….click here to see the list and remember, it is while supplies last so please do not be disappointed!
Now this will not disappoint you…..here is the current list of offerings for the Weekly Deals.…remember, they are only good for a week….shop away!
Tomorrow starts the parade….the parade of Christmas Swap Cards…..pop back as you will be WOWED!

Good Monday and here is to a GREAT week!I am coming back and adding to this post as Stampin' UP! just revelled the retiring list of products for the current Holiday Catalog. This is a fantastic time to get this Santa….
Remember, it is only while supplies last for the retiring goodies so if there is something that you have been looking at and on the fence about…..DO IT!!!
Click here to see the list….
and then pull out your catalog and have fun!
I want to give you all a HUGE shout out for the wonderful comments that you have left on my blog the past 2 days.We have another lucky winner!
To me, it is a wonderful way to "hear where you are" with what you like and would like to see with Stampin' UP! but then yesterday was a fabulous glimpse of how you became "hooked" with this fabulous and healthy "obsession" we have in creating cards!
I will share with you my thoughts about the past 2 days posts after we chat a bit about this "hands down" adorable Santa!
If you click here you will see the post that I did at the beginning of the month with the curvy keepsake box that was a Thanksgiving Theme…..because of that darn calendar rolling forward so fast, the Santa is replacing the Thanksgiving for any orders that I receive from today until the end of the month!
This adorable Santa was totally cased from the super talented Mikaela Titeridge and you can click here to see the tutorial that she graciously has on the Internet (thank you Pinterest)!!!
I am sure that you would love to receive this adorable guy and I would love to pack him up and send him to you!Yes, he does have a "window" on the back side that you can take a peek inside to see what goodie you have. (Yep, I did M & M's again)!
These would also be SUPER CUTE to have as name settings for your Holiday Table. You could write the persons name on the little tag….I am going to do this and also for my sons class (I know that his kids will love them)
Again, click here to see the post with all of the specific on how you can get this adorable Santa plus an opportunity for you to get the Silicone Craft Mat from me absolutely free!
Please remember to use the
Hostess Code of 4JUNK3R7
to take advantage of both of these FREEBIES from ME!
Way to go and I am soooo happy for you! Please shoot me an email and I will make a trek to the good old Post Office and send them to you! I think that it is wonderful that you remember your 1st stamp set and that it still makes you happy!
Now to some fun thoughts from me! I want you all to know how much I enjoyed and appreciated your comments and as I said yesterday, we have similar thoughts…if I had a "magic ball" some of my very first thoughts of what I really, really would like to see are….
- stitched framelits
- more sentiment dies
- Thick Card Stock in Very Vanilla
- Notecards and Envelopes in Very Vanilla
- adhesive strips for shaker cards (like the ones that are in the Holiday Shaker Cards, I will be blogging about them next week)
I "hear you loud and clear" about more sentiments for the insides of cards and I know that I need to do a better job sharing and helping you with ideas – thanks for sharing your wishes…
Shipping….I hear you and I feel your pain! I will say that I HOP on the train when I hear FREE SHIPPING (with a favorite store/website).…and yep – it would be a great if SU offered that….(I will say, since I have been a demonstrator they did have it once….who knows – maybe they will do it again) I think that there were some FABULOUS ideas for shipping price suggestions and trust me, I will pass them on!
I know that I want to share with you my introduction with Stampin' Up! but we will do that another day, (This post is already long) and guess what, I am not going anywhere as I LOVE what I do and I ADORE helping YOU! Please have fun shopping away and I will be happy to "pack up a Santa and silicone mat"
Guess what tomorrow will be….a small but hopefully exciting "sneak peek" of the new goodies…..I am very happy with the new catalog and Sale-A-Bration….wowzers – get ready to be doing the happy dance!
You all are the best and I soooooo appreciate you….(so does Eddie and all of his friends)! Until tomorrow!

This is going to be super short as my eye lids are going south very quick! I ADORED your comments and in general there were many similarities…..(I think I am going to email SU and share this post with them as it is amazing at how many of you feel the same way about many products)
Now to the winner….WOW – many, many thanks for the comments, I think that we all learned a lot from each other!
WOOT-WOOT and way to go Sonny! I had a HUGE smile on my face when I saw that you were "lucky 21" When I am able to get all of the new papers, I will send you all of the new papers in swatch books…..they are lifesavers and yes, I will be doing a product share!
Now how about this blog candy…..12 homemade cards and matching envelopes!
Today's thought for you to think about and leave a comment…
How long have you been stamping and how did you get
"hooked into it"
I think that this will be a fun one to see how we all were introduced to Stampin' Up! and how long you have "had the bug"!
Yesterday was FABULOUS – I was at a fabulous table of FUN! Lots of great make-n-takes….lots of laughter and I met new friends = you are going to like…really, really like new "NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK" –
I can't wait to share them with you….it will happen soon….hang tight – sneak preview for you on Tuesday!
Tomorrow I have a super cute Santa for you…..you will smile, I just know it and I am also going to summarize your answers to yesterday and todays post comments with my personal thoughts – I think we are all on the same page and I am interested to tell you how I was introduced to Stampin' UP!
