Baby, it’s cold outside …

Posted in Project Life by Stampin' Up!, Quick -n- Easy, Techniques by Linda Schnabel

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

A truer statement I could not make … it’s cold outside, and getting colder! But enough about the weather, I have a cute and easy card for you today.

Since today is the last day you can purchase from the Holiday Catalog, I thought I would share a few items that I love from the catalog. First is the beautiful “All is Calm” Designer Series paper … you’ve seen quite a few of my cards using it. It has so many wonderful patterns – today’s is one of my favorites.

I used the coordinating “Lost Lagoon” cardstock and ink. The stamp set is from the “Project Life Holiday Cheer” stamp set … I hope this carries over into the next main catalog. It captures the fall and winter seasons so nicely.

I highlighted today’s stamped images with the “Postage Stamp” punch… always fun to use on a card.

My granddaughter Shayla liked the way I did the heart on yesterday’s card and said I should do the snowflakes with the same technique … so I did. Makes them sparkle so nicely.

I added a bow to bring your eye full circle and embellished it with a silver sequins and white snowflake from the “Frosted Sequins” … they really go a long way. Then, I topped off the sequins with a rhinestone! Isn’t that pretty?!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’d like to share some cute projects created by one of our concept artists, Jen.

There are some darling kits in the new holiday catalog. Today we are highlighting the Gratitude for Days Simply Created Kit. I love the bright colors and patterns. The coordinating stamp set also has some great images for any card or project.

Here are Jen’s creations playing with this cute kit.

1. Add a little pocket and note to a treat or gift. I love being able to tuck a little message inside the pocket. And there are 30 of these cute clips in the kit that are perfect for attaching the pocket to your gift.

2. Create a little birthday “card” that holds both a message and a gift card. Use the number stickers to represent your recipient’s age. Stamp on the lined pocket card and add a sweet birthday wish. This is super-quick and easy.

The coordinating stamp set is also great for memory keeping. It helps prompt journaling about things you’re grateful for.

I had a lot of fun playing with this kit. There are so many fun ways to use it!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend,

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Let me begin by saying “Thank You” for the get well comments and e-mails. Still not feeling up to par, but nothing makes me feel happy than to share one of my card creations with you.

We all have days when we’re not at the top of our game but have to make a card …. here’s my suggestion for you today. Project Life! A scrapbooking revolution… It helps busy people (so basically all of us) document life using photos and journaling in a quick, simple, and fabulous way.

BUT WAIT … We’re making cards! That’s what I love about project life, not only does it make scrapbooking easy, you can pull a card together in a matter of minutes! Let me show you …

I wanted my greeting to be a bit smaller so I wouldn’t hide the background, so I trimmed that down to 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. To make it easy …. it’s a 1/4″ off all 4 sides 🙂

Because I wanted to bring the black color in from the base of my card, I cut a 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock. I didn’t want to mat the greeting, just give it a pop of black behind it to emphasize the Bermuda Bay color, which is our focal point.

Just for fun … I wrote the “there” in with the Journal Pen. If you don’t want to write something, you could leave it blank or stamp it with any number of our wonderful greeting sets. I finished it off by popping it up with our Stampin’ Dimensionals!

This card took me less than 5 minutes to put together … another 5 to choose from the many cute cards in the pack.

So simple, when your just not “feeling up to it” or you’re desperate for a card … and haven’t we all been there?! With just a few simple cuts and your favorite adhesive … your done! Problem solved.

Thank you for stopping back today!

Have a marvelous day ~
