My December Thank you card!

Good day Stampers!

I have been absent lately as I am dealing with some personal issues that have been taking over my days.  But I found time today to make about 20 cards to thank  my customers for their order, which arrived today.

I also have a cute video from Stampin' Up! that should make you smile!

Here is the card -

 

I used Very Vanilla card stock and cut my inner piece at 5" x 3 3/4".  I sponged around the outside of this piece with Soft Suede.  I stamped around the sides with the pine branch from Watercolor Winter.  I used Garden Green for the pine boughs and Soft Suede for the pine cones.  I added some Dazzling Diamonds to the pine boughs for a really quick card.  I used the sentiment from Rejoicing with You!  I stamped that in Soft Suede also.  Bamm done! 

 

This is a picture of some of the Christmas Cards that should already be in the mail but hopefully will get there later today.  Whew!  I'm bushed just thinking of all I have left to do.

 

On the flip side, My Annual Hostess Appreciation Christmas Party was a huge success.  I drew for a hostess gift of two stamp sets and the winner was Amanda Barnes.  Amanda was unable to make it to the party but I'm sure she will be pleased to find out she was a winner.

 

Almost finished this post but I wanted to leave you with a cute video from Stampin' Up!  Just click here to go to the you tube site.  It's really fun to watch, I hope you will take some time to see it.

 

Well that's it from me today.  I have to head out to the post office and get some of those cards in the mail.  Then I only have about 50 more cards to make and one more class to teach and I can start on some of my neglected housework and wrapping up Christmas.  Wish me luck. 

 

Frazzled hugs!

Wrapping Up Christmas!

Hi there Stampers!

I am starting to get into the mood.  Yes, I have a class here at my home this coming Sunday and I am getting ready to Wrap up 'Christmas!" 

I have been busy designing my Gift card Holders and tags.  Today I am going to give you a little teaser of two of the holders I have designed.

Hang on for the gojusness of these -

 

First up is a Twisted card gift card holder.  This one is stunning in real life, the flower just shimmers and it will fit in a standard envelope.  How cool is that?   OOPS!  I just realized I used last year's DSP.  Oh well, It's a great way to use up those little pieces of DSP that we never throw out!  I know you are out there, so stop pretending you don't know what I am talking about!

 

The next one shows the front of the holder.  I used the new Christmas paper called Snow Festival!  I love the images on this Designer Series Paper.  I also used the new in color Stitched Satin ribbon in Gumball Green.   This ribbon is so lush and easy to work with!

 

 

This is the inside of the holder.  Lots of room for your sentiment and either a gift card or a check or even cash!  One thing about cash or gift cards as a gift.  I have never had them returned to me stating they didn't fit or were the wrong color! lol 

 

 

Well, that is just a little sample of what is in store at my Class on Sunday Nov. 25th.  If you are interested in either booking a class or attending one please contact me.  I would love to spend time with you and your friends.

 

 

Since I didn't have anything to make you smile today I thought you might like to see my Granddaughter, Emily!  If this face doesn't make you smile, then nothing will!  She is such a happy baby!  We are so blessed!

 

That's it for me today!  Wrapped hugs!
