Countdown to Christmas Project #10Christmas Lodge Kraft Box

Good morning stampers!

For this week's project we decorated the Kraft Box featured in the Holiday Mini!

P.S. I just realized after visiting my team member's blog that I was supposed to coordinate this project with last week's card, Christmas Lodge. So guess what.....here's the redo.

Here is the "real" project. LOL.  So you have a treat with two boxes today.  Here is the box that now coordinates with last week's project, featuring Christmas Lodge, Northern  Flurry Textured Impressions Folder and the Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty paper!

Or course there is some more scalloped edges and beautiful ribbon to finish off any project!  My tutorial will be now on this project!!!!

Here is the original project post from this morning.....

I didn't use many new supplies, but this week the new product is the Champagne Shimmer Paint.  The picture doesn't do it justice and I actually ran out of my paint supply (LOL) as I use it often!

And here's the close-up...you've seen this beautiful cross (created from the large Serene  Snowflake) many times....but is is very beautiful.

So I painted the box with the Champagne Shimmer Paint, let it dry, and then stamped with Early Espresso Classsic Ink and Whisper White Craft Ink using the snowflakes from Serene Snowflakes stamp set.

I again  used the Scallop Trim Border punch, again a favorite and used throughout my Countdown to Christmas with Sandi & Friends.

Finishe the project with a bow!

I hope you enjoyed this week's project.

TODAY is the LAST DAY for YOUR CHANCE to win!

Be sure to leave a comment on every team member's blog, as well as mine (LOL), to increase your chances of winning some delicious blog candy!

Countdown to Christmas Project 9Christmas Lodge Embossed Card

Good morning stampers!
For this week's project we created a beautiful embossed holiday card!  I am featuring a new stamp set and color scheme, more traditional Christmas:

• Garden Green
• Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series Paper
• Christmas Lodge stamp set 

I also did something a little different....I also stamped on the strips to be embossed!  Do I have to tell you which Textured Impressions Folder I used? LOL.

I love the warmth of "chocolate" so I went with the piece of DSP that had some brown added. And I like the elegance of the Scalloped Trim Border.

The bow is Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon, but I also used Cherry Cobbler Seam  Binding ribbon on the ban as well. 
I hope you enjoyed this week's project. Remember to visit everyone on the team and post comments on all the blogs as each of us are giving away BLOG CANDY.

Countdown to Christmas Project #8Holiday Tags

Good morning and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

For this week's project we created Holiday Tags!  Each design team member had the option of choosing a style.  I chose the "Square" tags.  I created three different tags using the same style, bringing all my previous projects together and combining the themes :D

All of the cards feature Whisper White cardstock embossed with Northern Flurry Textured Impessions Folder and all have Dazzling Details!!!! Bling...bling...bling....I just love to use glitter for the holidays!

The stamp sets featured are:

• Polar Party
• Jolliest Time of Year
• Serene Snowflakes

The images were stamped on scraps, the colored, then cut-out and adhered to the tag base.

In closing, one of the best things about making Holiday Tags is that you can use up all your scraps!!!!! That's what I did this week. Just cut-up the scraps I had left over from the Countdown to Christmas projects.  You can make tons of tags quickly, all in one style or you can mix it up like I did here :D

I hope you enjoyed this week's project. Remember to visit everyone on the team and post comments on all the blogs as each of us are giving away BLOG CANDY.

Countdown to Christmas: Project #7Jolliest Time of Year

Hi stampers!

My post is finally ready. I'm very, truly sorry for my delay today. It's been one of those weeks....I appreciate your patience.  Here is your Countdown to Christmas Project #7. It's a cutie if I say so myself - LOL.

And...I changed up the color scheme and stamp set!  This time I used purple...Elegant Eggplant...and a snowman!!!! What's the holiday without snowmen?

Here is the inside of the folded card.  The sides are embossed instead of being stamped.  I think it adds just the perfect touch of snow and the theme for my project.

The center is again embossed and a snow hill cut out, as well as the 3 stamped images being stamped, colored and cut out.  Watercolor pencils were used again in this project w/o the Blender or Aqua Pen. I just colored.

Lastly, Dazzling Details was added to the tree ornaments and parts of the snowman.

Since I used Designer Series Paper, for the outside, I chose not to stamp on the triangles (the fold to make up the front).  Instead, I created a fancier, scalloped edge ban.  I stamped and colored the snowman and added some Dazzling Details as well to the snow balls.  It's hard to see in this picture, but the edges of the snowman piece are also embossed with Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder to coordinate with the embossing on the inside and over all theme of the card :D

I hope you enjoyed this week's project. Remember to visit everyone on the team and post comments on all the blogs as each of us are giving away BLOG CANDY.

Countdown to Christmas - Project #6Polar Party Fancy Favor Box

Good morning and welcome to week 6 of Countdown to Christmas with Sandi & Friends! 

This week's project coordinates with last week's Polar Party card with the accent color still being red (nice, birght and fun, traditional holiday color)!  But not just any red....GLIMMER red!  The Glimmer Paper sparkles like diamonds --- BLING!!!!

And I've also added Dazzling Details again to the cute little penguins and the decorations on the center tree, as well as the snow fall at their feet!

This gift box features the cute penguins from Polar Party and the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder to add a soft, subtle texture to the box top area.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS

This week again I used Watercolor Pencils to color in the artwork. I did not use a Blender Pen this time to blend the coloring.  Next, I stamped and CUT OUT the trees and the two penguins. This is so I could layer then on top of one another (this is instead of using the Masking Technique) with Stampin' Dimensionals to add more dimension to the project.

Here is a close-up!

Hope you have a great week! Enjoy :D

Countdown to Christmas - Project #5Polar Party NAPR Card

Good morning and welcome to week 5 of Countdown to Christmas with Sandi & Friends! 

You don't have to have many layers to a card to make it special, cute or beautiful!  This week's projects is Sandi's NAPR idea (No Added Posted Required).  No dimensionals are used in my sample, nothing with added weight (such as Filigree Brads or Clear Brads which you may guess is one of my favorite ways to add "bling" to a project).

Instead, this week, I use the new Dazzling Details to give this otherwise "flat" card some "shine", and also use Nothern Flurry Textured Impressions Folder to add texture.

This card again features the fun Polar Party stamp set and the masking technique was used again to show the little penquins playing in front of the holiday trees :D

You may not be able to tell well from the picture, but the Dazzling Details is added at the bottom of them, the snowy edge, but also to their hats and scarves, as wel as the decorations on the trees.  Just love this stuff!

Hope you have a great week! Enjoy :D

OTHER IDEAS

If youwanted to step-up this card, where extra postage may then be required (LOL), you could trim this card and mat just the card front on a piece of Cherry Cobbler paper.  Then add dimension by added a few cut out snowflakes or die-cut snowflakes with a rhinestone center!

Countdown to Christmas Project #4Polar Party Box Topper Gift Bag

Good morning and welcome to week 4 of Countdown to Christmas with Sandi & Friends! 

During the holidays especially, we love to give gifts in a gift bag...so why not make a handmade one and one with a box topper!!!

Just a mention of Blog Candy to come…..make sure to leave a comment on my blog and those of the other Artists and you will have a chance for lot’s of Blog Candy….start leaving comments today and we’ll be drawing from all the Friday Countdown Comments for some fabulous Blog Candy at the end of the Countdown.  

Each of the design team members are offering blog candy…so that is 7 chances to win!  Be sure to send in your comments on Countdown to Christmas Fridays :D.  Picture to come……

This box topper (kinda of like a bag lid - LOL) and decorated gift bag features the Polar Party stamp set as the featured stamp set (center panel) and the Bright Hopes stamp set for the snowflakes you see.

The color scheme this week is Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy and White.

What other color do you see in there?

The techniques used this week are the "Markers" (where you stamp in a base color and then use a Stampin' Write Marker and literally color on the stamp/ink) and "Masking" (where you can hide something behind something else and bring an item(s) to the front, like a Send to Front in MS Word).

For the snowflakes on the box topper trim, notice the base is  Cherry Cobbler and the Not Quite Navy accents are on the outer part of the snowflakes and the center (could not be accomplished with last week's Rock-n-Roll technique).  Markers also give a rich color.

Look at the center of the front panel and notice the Polar Bear is in front of the trees!  That is where the masking technique was used.  And then lets not forget watercoloring using the Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.

OTHER IDEAS

I was trying not to "overdo" the gift bag.  But here are a few other ideas that you could use but it will add a little more time to do your project!

• I was going to add silver or clear brads to the center of the snowflakes in the box topper (there are many!).
• You could add any brads or jewels to the trees on the front panel to add sparkle.
• You could use Crystal Effects on the tree decorations or the polar bear's hat and scarf for added dimension and shine.
• Stamping snowflakes or a background stamp on the actual white gift bag. I thought about this but again I didn't want to overdo it. LOL.
• Lastly, you could add ribbon to the project - everything looks nice packaged/sealed with a bow! :D

Countdown to Christmas - Project 3Bright Hopes Gift Card Holder

Good morning!

Here is this week's Countdown to Christmas with Sandi & Friends.  It is a beautiful gift card holder.  I love snowflakes and coffee (Early Espresso, LOL), so I tried to keep with my overall theme, but this time I added some more color, Cherry Cobler Red!

Instead of using Serene Snowflakes this time, I featured one of the new holiday stamp sets in the Holiday Mini Catalog, Bright Hopes.  It's very pretty and versitle. Click here to view the set (I have it linked to the main Stampin' Up! website as I know many people, fans, and customers of my fellow demonstrators on the design team will be visiting, and it wouldn't be fair for me to link to my own personal site during this Countdown to Christmas special series).

This picture, featured above is just the front view of the gift card.  In the tutorial, to go out tonight at 7 pm EST via my newsletter, you will see the inside and the back, and complete instructions (with pictures) on how to create this project.

This week's project features:

• The BIG SHOT and the Top Note die.
• Very Vanilla Ribbon.
• Cherry Cobler, Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand, and Early Espresso Cardstock.
• Northern Flurry Textured Embossing Folder.
• The Bright Hopes Stamp Set.
• Scallop Trim Border Punch.
• Clear Brads.
• Cherry Cobler and Early Espresso Classic Ink.
• The Love Blossoms Wheel (which I think compliments the Bright Hopes stamp set).
• Rock-n-Roll Technique.

I think I got it all...if I've forgotten to mention anything it will be in the tutorial :D

If you haven't already, sign up for my mailing list. I sent out the newsletters at 7 pm EST on Fridays. So you still have time to sign up (in the right hand sidebar)!!!!

Countdown to Christmas - Project 1Serene Snowflakes in a Diamond Fold Card

Diamond Fold  Card - Project 1 in the 

Countdown to Christmas series

This card is a funky folding card and created using the Serene Snowflakes stamp set.  It is one of my favorite sets!!!! Love it!  And for some reason, while looking through my paper and inks, I decided not to go with the traditional holiday colors and to go neutral!

Can you tell me what SU colors are used in this sample?

 (without and before reading the PDF! LOL.)

Each week I'll be sharing another holiday sample with you but so will all the Countdown to Christmas team! So be sure to visit their blogs and get even more inspiration and view different  samples of this Diamond Fold Card technique.

To learn how to create this card, sign up for my newsletter and join the Countdown to Christmas mailing list.  Each week you will receive a PDF tutorial on how to make the card I showcase.  

Newsletters will go out every Friday night at 7 pm EST.  The posts, like this one, are scheduled for Fridays at 8 am EST.

Remember to visit all the wonderful artists in this year's
