Take out the numbers and you could use this card to celebrate just about anything! The best thing about this shaker card is that it is EASY! And because it is part of my Wednesday's Kit class you can get all the supplies (minus the stamp set) to make 4 of these cards for FREE when you order $35 worth by Friday the 18th of December.

Shaker cards are known for being a little tricky and have lots of steps. Well the Amazing Demonstrator named Rosemarie Gonzalez (also from California) taught us at Onstage how to make this easy shaker card by using Stampin' UP!'s clear envelopes!

Christmas Boutique Items-2020

 


On November 15th I was invited to be part of an Outside vendor event at church parking lot only 2 1/2 miles away from me. I was hesitant to do it because I had not planned on doing an event this year due to the Covid19 restrictions but with only 3 weeks to prepare, I went to work! I am so glad I did this event and was able to sell some of my homemade crafts and meet some local people who may be interested in stamping with me in the future. Below are just some of my creations and hope they inspire you to make some hand stamped Christmas gifts as well! 

I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Pine Tree punch to create this fun mint truffle clear chocolate boxes. 



I made these cute tags using the Warm Hugs stamp set and dies. 

These were favorites and I made a video on how to make these. 



These nail file holders weren't very popular until my online sale but I love them! Perfect stocking stuffers! 


This was a new one for me and was a Santa Kisses Count down! I love that Santa from the Don't Stop Believin' stamp set and the Celebration Label Dies (both retiring). 

Hope you loved seeing some of these and try to make them too!

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!



November Demo Swap- Christmas Cards

Demo Swap is one of my favorite things. It started over 5 years ago with just a handful of ladies. All of these ladies have a love for card making and love sharing it with others. We "meet" every other month and have a theme or color rules. We swapped in November and I'm just now sharing. Lucky for you they are all Christmas cards! Look through this gallery of cards and click on the link to take you to my online store.  Many are retiring and are on sale right now! Which means they will be gone by January 5th, 2021.

Here are all cards from this swap! Scroll down to see one by one.

***I sent out the Peaceful Nativity card before I took a picture and that one was made by Stefanie Wilcox. This one is retiring but not at a discount. 

By Mandy Whitfield

Mandy did a wonderful job making the words from the set the focal point of the card! This stamp set is retiring and has even more great sayings! 

By Julie Miller

Julie made this amazing card using the great DIES and Tree Angle stamp set. Tree Angle is retiring and is on sale for $13.60. 

By Marjeen Nation
She did a great job making a snow covered scene. This stamp set is retiring along with it's matching dies. 

By Natalie Woll

I love this set that Natalie used and am sooo sad to see it go! However, the dies for this set is all sale at the low price of $22.40

By Susan

Susan used another favorite stamp set of mine, the Don't Stop Believin' will be retiring as well when January rolls around! She even used the dies from the Joy & Peace set for her greeting. 

By Cheryl Holden

She used the Snowman Season stamp set to create her card and luckily it is found on the pages of the annual catalog and will NOT be retiring yet! But that awesome DSP, Snowflake Splendor she used will be! 

By Cindy Hafner

This stamp set and dies are STUNNING and I am happy to say are not retiring but will be carrying over!!! Cindy made this super FUN fold where it slides underneath from the center to make an easel card.  So it is dark when laying down and it is white center when standing up. 


I hope you have enjoyed this Christmas Gallery of cards! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
