Time to Send Thoughts of Appreciation

I trust everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a great break.  Normally I would start with Christmas cards, but I was thinking about kind gestures of appreciation.  Maybe you were invited to Thanksgiving that you had never joined before now.  So now would be a great time to send a card to thank them for their kindness.

Stampin’ Up! Perched in a Tree would be a perfect card with the Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede colors for an after-Thanksgiving card. If you don’t need it as a Thank You card, just change the greeting.

You may want to grab this bundle as the Perched in the Tree stamp set is retiring at the end of December, but the dies are not.

Trim the Tree

Good Morning everyone.  I am going to change up the post this week. I had a three-day craft show which was great, but no time to prepare a post. So I thought Stampin’ Up! always has great ideas for all levels of stampers. So we are going to explore three ideas for one stamp set.

However, first I want to explain this week’s schedule.  There will be a newsletter on Tuesday, but no posts or emails for the rest of the week.  The post will resume on Monday.

So let us look at today’s post.

Spruced Up Bundle Step-by-Step
This Holiday Season Card (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″) (10.8 x 14 cm)Are you on a quest to make a flurry of festive, handmade cards and tags this Christmas season? If so, the Spruced Up Bundle could be your best friend with its boldly-imagined tree and ornament stamps and unique outline dies—ready to help you make merry with Christmas paper crafting before the season rush! We show you how to go from casual to fancy with our samples—but what can you do with this card to make it yours?CASUALTo create the casual card, stamp and die cut the ornaments. Cut the Gold 3/8″ (1 cm) Shimmer Ribbon and layer it behind the sentiment. Add the 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (8.3 x 14 cm) Garden Green Cardstock layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and adhere a 1″ (2.5 cm) strip of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper on the right side of the card. Die cut the pine bough from Garden Green Cardstock using the Decorated Pine Dies and adhere it to the card.AVIDFor this version, die cut the Decorated Pine piece in Garden Green Cardstock and use the same color ink with a Sponge Dauber to achieve a darker color. Stamp the sentiment and die cut with the Stylish Shape Dies banner. Cut the ribbon in half, make a bow, and layer it behind the sentiment label with Stampin’ SEAL.ARTFULLY AVIDEmboss the 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (8.3 x 14 cm) Garden Green Cardstock layer with the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. Add Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics in white to the ends of the pine bough die cut (after adding Garden Green ink with a Sponge Dauber). Take the Gold 3/8″ (1 cm) Shimmer Ribbon apart to use the gold threads on it and add them with Stampin’ SEAL behind the sentiment label.

It is Getting Ho Ho Time

That means Christmas to all the little boys and girls. Who is kidding who? There is that glimmer of the man in red we all like.  So I think Santa is an essential sign of Christmas.  So when I saw Stampin’ Up! Santa Delivery stamp set in the Mini Catalog it was a must-have.  I remember taking my boys to the mall to see Santa and riding the train.

You find this is a very simple card, but you will need the Cut and Emboss Machine for the circle and train. The Santa Express Designer Series Paper has so many choices to make that card special. I chose one that has Christmas trees.

If you think this stamp is set for Christmas, think again.  I am working on an idea of cutting out Santa and just using it as a train set.
