Christmas – Page 13 – Stampin' With Candice

Freewheeling Friday 12-19-08

I was going through some of my Holiday Decorations and discovered these two great frames I made last year. I thought I would share them with you today since the background was so simple to make. I just used the Versa Mark with our Bold Snowflakes Jumbo Wheel.

I know it’s really hard to see but it looks great in person. I’ve added a close up shot so hopfully you will be able to see the effect. The are really fun to put out for the holidays.

I really like the big one because I can change out the picture when I want to.

Thrifty Thursday 12-18-08

Here is a fun idea to put your Big Shot to good use. I love to let the kids make little gifts for their friends at Christmas time. This year I was so excited because I knew the Big Shot would make it so easy and very cost effective.

My boys had fun creating these cute Christmas gifts for their friends. Here are a few pictures.

The basic idea is really easy all you need is 1/4 sheet of paper plus some scraps for the punches. Then you need the little bags and some ribbon.

We used the Stampin’ Up! Exclusive Top Note Die to cut out the toppers then scored them the short way and folded them in 1/2.

We filled the little bags with treats and stapled them to the back of the topper. Then I tied the ribbon around it. We used the scallop punch, the 1 3/8 Circle Punch and the 1 1/4 Circle Punch to create our little tags.

The boys each choose 2 favorites from the Hostess set “Deer Friends” and colored the stamps to get the great colors. We used just one Stampin’ Dimensional on the bottoms so that you could slip the ribbon off the top and get to the treats.

The boys had a lot of fun making them and especially loved using the big shot. It was a fun evening. Sorry it was so late getting this post up but we had to finish all of our projects.

I think we made about 50 in about 2 hours. Hope you enjoyed this and have fun making your own treat bags.

Technique Tuesday 12-16-08

Rolling with the Punches

This is the technique my club member learned last week. You will be able to see more samples in the club page. I got this technique from Laura Fredrickson you can see her complete tutorial by clicking here. I had a lot of fun with and thought it was a great technique. I actually found it months ago and have been waiting for Christmas to show it. The basic technique is to use your punches to make a template then roll your wheel over the template so you only get part of your images. Then you can trace around them or use sponge daubers to fill them in. If you want to see the step by step instructions you can check out Laura’s site. Here is just one of the fun cards we made. Be sure to check out the other card and Scrapbook pages under clubs.

Stampin’ Sunday 12-14-08

I really wanted to try using one of the great snowflakes from the mini catalog on a project. I thought it would be fun to put it on a pictures frame. I really loved how this turned out. I have to admit the picture really helps too. This is my little Xander last year. We called him Xander Claus. The picture was taken by JC Penny Photography.

Swapping Saturday 12-13-08

Sorry this is late. This is a 3D swap that I got from convention. It was created by Tammy Johnson. I love how she used the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper to create a Christmas Project. She also used the Deer Friends Level 2 hostess set.

I also love that the cute box hold 4 Christmas cards with envelopes. The cards are actually the Note Cards which are a smaller size. They are 5 x 3 1/2. Just perfect for giving with a gift. I hope you enjoyed this swap and be watching for more. Thanks Tammy for your great project.

Freewheeling Friday 12-12-08

Freewheeling Friday Holiday Fun Pages

I usually tend to do cards when I am trying to come up with an idea so this time I decided to challenge myself and come up with a scrapbook page to share. I have to say that I think it turned out really cute and I’m excited to share it with you. Today’s theme is Freewheeling Friday so I just need to use a wheel. I had fun making the Rudolph with the punches and the Big Shot. I hope you like the pages. I even added pictures.
