Last Monday I said I would share more swaps from our 2014 Holiday Stampin’ Retreat … today I have 3 more for you! Let’s begin with Eileen’s swap card ….
Eileen used the new “Cheerful Christmas” stamp set and Filigree Frame folder from the Nordic Noel Suite found on pages 14 & 15 of the Holiday Catalog. She framed it so beautifully by using the Apothecary Accents Framelit Die.
She used Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White for her card … then added a pop of red holiday cheer by coloring her rhinestones. This card truly sends cheer for Christmas!
Our next swap is from Cindy P. …
Cindy’s all Whisper White present card is striking with the bold pop of red ribbon. Her gifts were embossed with the Lovely Lace, Woodgrain, and Perfect Polka Dots embossing folders. With each layer you get the dimension of real Christmas gifts … how lovely!
The third swap comes from Cindy S. …
Cindy’s card was done in Island Indigo and Sahara Sand with just a pop of White to tie in her snowflakes! The snowflakes and greeting come from the “Endless Wishes” stamp set found in the Holiday Catalog.
You may think you have enough snowflake stamp sets, but with the many greetings included in this set … you will have “endless” ways to say Merry Christmas!
Cindy also used the Silver Metallic Ribbon and Frosted Sequins to highlight her card … It’s simply stunning.
I am so glad that Kris suggested doing swaps at our Retreats, because not only do they get to do all the wonderful cards & projects at retreat, but they also get the beautiful cards made by each other… How wouldn’t be inspired 🙂
Thank you for checking out my blog today, I hope you enjoyed these beautiful cards as well.
Today I’d like to share with you more star’s from our NEW “Holiday Supplement” … Stampin’ Up! has released a supplement to our Holiday Catalog! It is full of new & exciting products designed for you in mind and to meet your Holiday needs by providing fabulous kits for home decor, card making, and memory keeping.
My favorite, and the one I’m going to focus on today is the “Many Merry Stars” Simply Created Kit. Yes, a kit … designed so even novice stampers can create these fabulous stars. I like that, a time saver, especially around the holidays.
The Many Merry Stars kit is filled with die-cut pieces, peel-and-stick adhesive edges, and accents galore! Easy… yes, but you can still put your own twist to them if you’d like. Here are a few ideas from the home office …
You can make fun and colorful ornaments for your tree with the Many Merry Stars kit from Stampin’ Up!
And how about using them for …. Christmas Cards! So, so many things you could do, these are just a few.
I’ve got mine, and you can be sure my house will be filled with these stars! Heck, I may even use them to “gift” with … because they are so adorable! I will finally have something neat to put those “gift cards” in!
Hope you had a good week and that you have a better weekend planned.
Today I’d like to share with you a card that calls for you to be joyful! I used the warm colors of Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar. Hmmm… sounds yummy too!
I sponged the edges of the Brown Sugar to give it an aged look and then ran the “Perfect Polka Dot Folder” through my new Texture Boutique Machine. Wow … it works great!
The stars were cut out using the Star Framelit dies, using the warm & lovely “Under the Tree’s” Designer Specialty Paper.
The Cherry Cobbler 1″ Sheer Linen Ribbon added the perfect touch to the card. It is not too heavy or think to tie a beautiful bow … it is really nice to work with.
The “Be Joyful” came from the “Project Life Holiday Cheer” stamp set. I liked it soooo much, that I ordered two! LOL … yes, demonstrators do that too.
Just look at all the fun stamps this set has, and you can use it all year long!
Hmmm, I might just have do a “give-a-way” … I don’t need two. Keep your eyes peeled!
For more information on the products used in today’s card or to purchase … just click on the items I have listed below for you.

This uplifting set will surely bring a smile to many faces. A crowd favorite, this stamp set will be sure to shine. Recommended clear block size is D (not included in the set).
And my third suggestion is a Gift Certificate! If you are not sure what to give the stamper on your gift list, contact me and I’ll get you a Gift Certificate that fits your budget. And Yes … I will have it ready for you (or I’ll send it out) in this cute little gift card 🙂

I hope this gave you a few ideas for the stampers on your Christmas list. Feel free to contact me, I can help you with a simple order or create a gift basket.
OK … Halloween is over and many of you know that I just loved that “Motley Monsters” Designer Series paper, but what are we going to do with it now that Halloween is over?
Don’t fret … I have an obvious solution for you in today’s card share plus an awesome stamping tip!
The obvious answer … Yep, flip it over! The great wood-grain paper below comes from “Motley Monsters”! I teamed it up with the “Wondrous Wreath” stamp set and coordinating framelits. Save 15% when you bundle the stamp set with the framelits!
The stamp set and framelits are amazing to work with … the beautiful color you create when using this two-step stamp set. I stamped Old Olive onto the Whisper White and then the Mossy Meadow in-color on top of the Olive.
* Just a quick reminder that the tabs on the photopolymer stamps are there for you to align the images and make your stamping easier.
You know me, I wanted that holiday sparkle so I used the Red Glimmer Paper and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details. I had a blast putting this card together. The Multi-purpose glue works wonders on glimmer paper and holds superbly.
Yes, the “JOY” comes in the Wonderful Wreath framelits collection!!
One of the things I liked about this stamp set was that it also had a beautiful verse for the inside of the card, but if you are like me …. you can never stamp it straight! Today I want to share an easy solution to that problem …
1. Begin with the Grid Paper and align the inside of your card so it’s straight …
2. Use Washi tape and place it where you want your verse to “end” ….
(I unsticky my washi tape a bit by placing it on my skin or clothing … you don’t want it to peel your cardstock)
3. Align the bottom of your verse slightly above your washi tape and stamp …
Ahhh … doesn’t that look nice! Perfectly straight! I love it, I love it, I love it! Why didn’t I think of this before, like 13 years ago – lol.
I hope you enjoyed my card and stamping tips …
I’d love to hear what you think… you can leave me a message below. I will have another “Motley Monsters” transformation for you tomorrow!
It’s been two weeks since we were at our Holiday Retreat and one of the pillow gifts my guests received was the beautiful Christmas Bauble stamp ….
We made a gorgeous card by coloring in the bauble with our inks and blender pens, and a touch of that fun glitter glue! It definitely is a perfect stamp for those who love to color, but what about those of you who don’t like to color?!
That was a challenge posed to me at retreat. After thinking about it, I described a card that could be make in silver and blue, with minimal coloring. It’s now out of my head and onto the paper … or should I say cardstock…
I began by embossing the Christmas Bauble in silver on the stunning Brushed Silver cardstock and then colored it with the Night of Navy Blendabilities Assortment. I only used the darkest shade for coloring the bauble.
I framed it up like a pretty little package using the Silver 1/8″ Metallic Ribbon.
I mounted the bauble image onto Night of Navy cardstock and embossed Seasons Greetings from the “Watercolor Winter Too” photopolymer stamp set, then completed the card by mounting it onto a Smoky Slate base.
You don’t have to love coloring to love this precious stamp … I’m sure there are many different cards we could create with little or no coloring, this is just one idea.
Feel free to share your idea with me … I’d love to share it with our stampin’ community! Send picture to lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com
Thank you for stopping by ~
Hope you enjoyed today’s solution to coloring in an entire image. Sometimes less is more … especially when you need to make 80 Christmas cards!
Today I would like to share a card that I did as a Make & Take at Alice’s stampin’ party.
We began with Lost Lagoon, a new in-color this year and it coordinates perfectly with the “All is Calm” Specialty Designer Paper. Specialty… Why?
Because not only does this packet contain the pretty double-sided designer papers, but it also has 2 beautiful silver foil embossed designs. A must have for your holiday cardmaking this year.
I chose the paper with the pretty little snowflakes because it goes so well with the snowflake design of the “Merry” in the Seasonally Scattered stamp set.
We stamped our image with the coordinating Blue Lagoon ink and tied it all up with the Blue Lagoon ribbon! I love how everything coordinates … makes life so much easier!
I wanted a bit of holiday sparkle… so we added a few rhinestones to our card. So simple and fun to make, especially when your sitting around the table with a bunch of your friends and family.
I would love to host a stampin’ party for you and your friends. With the holidays coming it’s a great time to get together, see all the wonderful holiday stamps and accessories, and go home with a couple of cute Christmas cards!
Contact me (lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) … we’ll pick a date and begin planning a FUN get together for your friends and check out the free hostess goodies for you!
I have listed all the supplies you need to make the card below.
Thanks so much for dropping by …
and have a great day!

Yesterday I told you that I was going to share with you another idea from my scraps, today it’s a 3-D project using the flip side of the paper.
First I will tell you that I cut the “Under the Tree” Designer Specialty Paper into 4 x 4 inch squares … it made cutting the star’s for my retreat projects easier.
Today I turned my scrap into luminaries …
Such a quick and easy project! Cut some vellum into 4 x 4 squares and tape them to the inside of the cardstock. Then I taped my sides together with …. washi tape! That way if I made a bit of a mistake (crooked) I could lift it up, reposition and attach the side.
Tomorrow I will have one more product share for you using my scrap pieces. How’s that for saving money! Then we can spend it on more fun stampin’ stuff! LOL
Happy Sunday to you! Today I’d like to share a simple card that I created out of my scraps from a retreat project!
Each retreat we create name tags for our guests, that are hung on the doors to their rooms. It’s just a cute little way to welcome them, and they get to take them home. Sorry I don’t have a photo of them this time.
This year we used “Star’s” … so not letting anything go to waste, I turned it into a card!
I used the Baked Brown Sugar which coordinates well with the “Under the Tree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Whisper White. And of course, the BigShot and Star Framelit Dies.
The negative from the star is what I’m using for my card, and popping it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals to create that fabulous dimension we all love.
My greeting “JOY” comes from the Project Life December Wonder Photopolymer Stamp Set …
You can find this stamp set in the 2014 holiday supplement. If you need the new supplement, please let me know. If you are a regular customer of mine, you will find it tucked in your last order 🙂
I coordinated my Cherry Cobbler seam binging with my greeting to complete the card. Don’t you just love sweet and simple Christmas cards!
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check back tomorrow as I will show you another version.
Have a simply serene Sunday ~
STAMPIN’ SUPPLY LIST …

Wooo Hooo … the weekend is here and we’re kickin’ off November! Hope you had a good week.
Today I want to share with you a card that we had several discussions over at our retreat last weekend..
One of the ladies found a card on Pinterest and I commented that we had made that card at Alice’s stampin’ party as a Make & Take, but I changed the colors. For the life of me, I could not remember what colors I used! So here it is ladies …
The base color used was “Crumb Cake” …I teamed it up with Early Espresso. My pine was stamped in the new “Mossy Meadow” ink and the stem filled in with the Espresso marker.
The smaller piece of Crumb cake was cut at 4″ x 2-3/4″ and the Espresso mat at 4-1/4″ x 3″. Simply place the smaller Crumb Cake onto the center of your folded base (I tack mine down with a bit of adhesive so it doesn’t move) and then stamp … use firm, even pressure and you’ll get a great image.
Pick up your smaller piece and mount it to your mat, then mount the mat directly onto the base. It’s so pretty… and so easy!
This was not my original design, I just “cased” it (Copy And Share Everything) and switched up the color scheme for a more natural look. You can follow me on Pinterest as well … CLICK HERE!
Don’t forget your coordinating envelope … and stamp that too! It’s always a treat when you open your mailbox and find a hand stamped card!
Stampin’ Tip:Make sure your ink pads are properly inked to get the best stamped image. It’s always best to purchase an ink refill when you purchase your ink pad. If you have not done this, ink refills make a great filler when your adding to your orders.
I’d love to hear what you think, feel free to leave a comment below.
And Happy Halloween! Today I have a quick -n- quick sweet treat to share with you. I’m using the “Tiny Treat Boxes” from the Holiday Catalog – page 10 to be exact.
These cute little boxes are quick and easy to pop up and have 25 in the package for only $6.95… perfect for passing along a sweet treat.
To decorate I used designer paper to create a belly band … just think, you can do this for birthdays, Halloween, wedding favors – the possibilities are endless!
My flower was created with the (yes, it’s retired) 5 petal punch stamp set, but I know many of you have this punch, and I wanted a poinsettia as my flower. The center petals comes from the Boho Blossom punch.
We colored the pearls with the Blendabilities marker … and they turned out so cute.
These cute little boxes were made for my retreat attendees as a pillow gift on Friday night. Each box contained two Christmas truffles …. yum!
It’s that time of year again … and here in Wisconsin, we woke up to snow on the car!
Today is Day 2 of my “Holiday Retreat” series and I would like to take you along to our first stamping session on Friday evening. After a dinner of hot turkey sandwiches, fruit salad, taco dip & chips and more, we retreated to our stamping area …
I set up the area before my guests arrive so they can just come in and begin the fun. The projects are pre-cut for them but they still get to do some of the BigShotting, embossing and punching. On Friday we began with a project, an awesome bag they could take their cards home in and pass on for a gift.
I’m sure some of you recognize the “Paper Pumpkin” bag … One of the benefits of being a Paper Pumpkin supscriber is that you can order “past kits” when available … and this is one of my favorites! I’ve personally used them many times. Click Link for more information …
I jazzed it up with our beautiful “Under the Tree” Specialty Designer Series paper found on page 5 of the Holiday catalog. A touch of Old Olive behind it really highlights the snowflake pattern.
The precious snowflake comes from the “Snowflake Card Thinlit Dies” and is done in the stunning Champagne Glimmer Paper. I will admit that the large Rhinestones used for the center are now discontinued, but my guests learned how easy it is to color any of their Rhinestones and Pearls with our Blendabilities … we used the “Skin Tone Assortment”.
I swapped out the ribbon from the kit and used the “Natural & Old Olive” Two-Tone Trim for the handles … they look so cool! All the colors came together so nicely to create a beautiful holiday bag that could be given to a man or women.
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing a few of the swap cards that my ladies created … we did an all occasion swap! There was a lot of talent in out stamping group!
The Stampin’ Supply List for today’s project is listed below.
Today I will be sharing a part of our Holiday Retreat with you. Follow me for wonderful trip on our road to the Holiday Retreat ….
Photo was taken by Kris H.
We stay at the beautiful Green Lake Conference Center in Green Lake, WI. Our house is a 1930 English Manor and nestled beautifully on the lake. This photo was taken during our lunch break … a time set aside so our guests can dine and then explore these beautiful grounds.
This is the view inside that greets our stampin’ friends as they arrive…
The fireplace is adorned with a touch of Christmas Cheer and the dazzling little Curvy Keepsake boxes. Each guest got to take one home with them. We treat them to many little surprises throughout their retreat stay.
Close up shot of our shimmery delights ….
We added contrasting tags on our boxes to highlight the snowflake embellishment, and then embellished the snowflake with a rhinestone in the center!
One of the projects our guests made was this cute little Santa box also created with the Curvy Keepsakes die. Both of the boxes were inspired by a collection of boxes I have found on Pinterest.
