Christmas Countdown Class

Advent Calendars are a fun way to count down the holiday season so when I saw the new set 25 & counting in the mini catalog I just new I had to have a countdown class.

There are three different styles to choose from:

Peak-a-boo countdown
(featured in the holiday mini)

This fun advent calendar is featured on a 12×12 paper.  You can attach it to a board or magnet which ever you desire.  I haven’t quite finished it yet so it’s not very straight so please forgive me.  I’m going to be putting mine on magnet so I can reuse it each year.

This is a great calendar to create an activity calender.  Just write down a fun activity on the back such as: making cookies, building a snowman, Christmas Caroling or reading a story.  You can even put a different Christmas book down and read a book each day.  This is great if you have young children.

Cost- $15.00
Magnet Add on- $5.00
Additional Countdowns- $10.00

Candy Countdown

Don’t you just love this countdown.  It’s the perfect countdown to enjoy a little treat each day.  You may need to make one for everyone in your family.

This was an idea that they showed at our recent meeting and I new I just had to add it to this class.  Sorry I don’t remember who is was to give her credit.

Cost- $15.00
Includes Candy
Additional Countdowns- $10.00

Countdown Kisses

Who doesn’t love kisses and it’s even better when you get one everyday.  This fun countdown has cubicles for each day that holds a kiss.

I saw this countdown on our group site Stampin’ Connection. It’s a place for demonstrators to share ideas.  Just another great reason to be a demonstrator.  It was created by Brenda Quintana.

Cost- $15.00
Includes Kisses
Additional Countdowns- $10.00

 

You may sign up for as many countdowns as you would like.  Plan about 1 hour per countdown.  You will probably be faster if you are making multiples.  You may need to stamp and punch then assemble at home.  You can come anytime during the class hours just be sure to plan enough time to finish before 9:00 PM.

Covention Swaps Group 3

Wahoo I got another group done already.

I am so in love with this page.  I think it’s so cute and so well done.  First the colors are great, second I love the stamp set and third the which feet accent is just adorable.  It was created by Lynda Day.  In fact I almost didn’t get this fabulous page because of a mix up in times.  I’m so glad we were able to work it out a get it because it’s terrific.

Wicked Cool
#118738 Wood $19.95
#120600 Clear $14.95

Another great layout by another great stamper.  This was created by Stacie Jensen.  I’ve been asked several times which DSP was used so I thought I would let you know it’s not, it’s actually a stamp set so any one can create it.

Growing Green
#118758 Wood $21.95
#120624 Clear $16.95

This cute page was created by Kathryn Whittaker.  What makes the page so fun is all the strips of Designer Series Paper in the background.  They really make the page fun.

#117167 Greenhouse Gala $9.95
#113510 Schoolbook Serif Alphabet $43.95

I know I should have posted this sooner since it uses the fun set from the mini that just retired, but I still love the layout and it can be very in so many other ways.  It was created by my up-line Janice Barlow.  The unique thing about this page is she used the die cuts from the big shot as a template to sponge the letters.

This last one was created by my awesome friend Maxine Conrad.  What you can’t see is that she used textured card-stock for the family as well as for the Cherry Cobbler Strips.  It’s so easy to add your pictures to the adorable page.

#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95
#115778 Circle Circus $28.95
This set is also available for MDS

One more set so be watching.

Convention 12 x 12 Group 2

I’m finally finding some time to get to then next cute set of Convention swaps.  Hope you enjoy them.

This was created by Jessica Hiltz.  It’s such a fun and easy layout, but it’s so cute.  I really love the color combination as well.

#116716 Animal Stories $15.95
#111254 Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel $8.50

Sorry I don’t know the awesome creator of this page.  It uses one of my favorite Designer Series Papers.  It’s perfect for just about anything from a fun spring pages to and awesome family page.  You can even turn the pages around or switch sides to make it work for you.

#117163 Elegant Soiree DSP $9.95
#115778 Circle Circus $28.95
This set is also available for MDS

This page just screams summer to me and I love it.  It was created by Becky Kittaka.  The color combination’s are so fun and have so much energy it just brightens your day to look at it.  You can’t see it, but the summer fun die cuts are embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Folder.  It really adds a lot to the page.

#117168 Play Date DSP $9.95
#119747 Brights Designer Buttons $8.95
#115960 Alphabet Simple Letters Dies $89.95
#117335 Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folders $7.95

My totally terrific up-line Brandi Barnard created this darling page.  I love how simple it is.  She even created the girl bear so we could switch it out if we need too.  Of course I will most likely keep it the boy since I have all boys, but I can sure turn the cute little bear into a fun card.  What you can’t see of course is that she used crystal effects on the balloons to make them all shinny.  It’s so cute.

#119278 Basic Birthday Die $21.95
#118052 Beary Best Friends $18.95

Doesn’t this page just make you happy.  I love it.  It just makes me smile.  It was created by my good friend Ashley VanCamp.  She’s so talented.  I love that she used the new owl punch.  It’s so cute.

Funky Four
#113738 Wood $14.95
#120438 Clear $11.95

#118974 Large Owl Punch $16.95

There’s two more sets to go so be sure to watch for them.  If you would like to recreate any of these let me know I’d be happy to help you with any of the supplies you need.

I’m so excited I had to share!

I’m super excited and just had to share my good news with you.

Stampin’ Up! was having a contest to help us get inspired to earn the Disney World trip this year.  So they decided to have a Disney contest.  All you had to do was create something Disney and then post it on our group website Stampin’ Connection, which is like a facebook for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators only.

Of course I just had to enter and today I found out that I won.  There were over 250 entries and I was picked as one of the five winners.  I also got a free stamp set of my choice so I’ve been walking on air all day.

Anyway I thought I would share with you the 5 projects that I entered.

This is my fun Disney sign to keep me inspired.  All of the fun characters are made with punches.

I had a friend request for me to make a Donald Duck out of punches so I thought the contest was the perfect opportunity.

This one is a little different.  It’s a giant Genie that I have on my back door.  He’s holding our dream board.  I drew him, but I colored him with the Stampin’ Up! water-color pencils.  Oh and yes I do know that I spelled command wrong.  I just through it in the picture on Photo shop and didn’t notice till later.  It will be correct when I add it to the door.

You’ve probably seen this one before it was a page that I entered in my first Artisan Award Contest.

Last is the winning card.  This is my Goofy card which you’ve probably seen before.  His all made with punches.  I actually made him for a swap a few years back.

Thanks for sharing my excitement with me.  I hope you enjoyed my projects.

Remember that there’s still plenty of time to join me and earn the Disney trip together.  Plus there is the Totally-Awesome tote that you get for free when you sign up before 18th.  Contact me today for more information.  435-245-5321

PS-
I was thinking that I would give away 5 of these fun cards. To win all you have to do is help me get to 50 fans on my “Stampin With Candice page” on Facebook.  All you have to do is go to my page by clicking on the link and select like, then invite your friends to like my page too.  Then leave me a comment. I will choose 5 winners when I get to 50 fans and I’ll mail them out to you. Thanks so much for your support and for helping me to spread the word.

Covention Swaps 12 x 12 group 1

Sorry I’ve been missing in action we’ve had internet problems and I’ve had camera issues, but I’m back and with some fabulous swaps form convention. The last group I did was 12 x 12 pages. There were actually two group for this one. Because there are so many I’m going to break them up in 4 groups. So enjoy!

There is no particular order here and I will try and let you know who did each one (hopefully they are all marked.)  Thanks again to everyone who participated all of the pages are great.   I’ve already used some for Club and I’m looking forward to adding pictures to them.

First up is mine.  I used the awesome Awash with Flowers Set.  It’s hard to tell but the flowers are done with a fun technique that gives you a water color look even though it’s a solid stamp.

Word Play
#120308 Wood $41.95
#120651 Clear $28.95

#117163 Elegant Soiree DSP  $9.95

Is this page just cute or what.  I love it.  It was created by Shelly May.  I love the colors and the overall layout.  Plus how cute is the cogs punch.  I’m so glad that they put it in the catalog.

Party this way
#118744 Wood $15.95
#120609 Clear $11.95

This page is so fun and so cute.  In fact I used it for club last month.  With just one change.  Her cute sand is actually made with real sand paper.  I created it with the awesome log cabin spray.  I just love all the fun punch art on this page as well.  It was created by Natalie Cottle.

Punches used:
#119856   Scallop Oval  $16.95
#119856   1-1/4″ Square  $15.95
#119850 1-3/4″ Circle  $16.95
#119869 1/2″ Circle  $5.95
#119872 Spiral Boarder $15.95

#119871 3/16″ Corner $6.95

Can I say I’m in love.  This page is adorable.  It was made by Melanie Williams and she would say it’s a little Cheese.  I would have to agree.  The cheese is so cute I love how easy it is to make just using all of our different circle punches.  Plus doesn’t the hamburger just look good enough to eat.  She even added texture to the bun by using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

#117335 Perfect Polka Dots $7.95

On the Grill
#116970 Wood $23.95
#120474 Clear $17.95

The last fun page for today was created by Deanne Henderson.  I love how simple it is yet very I catching.  There’s so much detail in all the flowers.  Off course they were created with our great punches again.  What you can’t see very well is the fun Rhinestones in the center of the small flowers.  With 150 per package it’s so easy to add fun bling to your page.

#119831 Sunny Garden DSP $9.95
