Holiday – Page 5 – Stampin' With Candice

Thrifty Thursday 2-12-09

Today we had to make lots of Valentine’s for my son’s classes. So we decided to make the same fun project. My son, Mikey had a lot of fun helping to make them. Then we put them in bags so the candy would stay in when he gave them out. I love making the Valentine’s because they get something fun and different.

It was also nice because one of my other sons told me last minute that he need some as well. He’s in middle school so I didn’t think he needed them. Thankfully I had extra Candy and Paper already so it was easy to make more for him. Once again Stampin’ Up!© saves the day.

Swapping Saturday 2-7-09

Today I thought I would share with you some of the Valentines day project Swaps I received at leadership. These are just a few of my favorites. You can check out more by clicking here.

Valentines Bucket:
I loved this bucket. It was filled with a hot chocolate packet, a Hershey’s kiss on a spoon, a 2x4x6x8 box with marshmallows and a cute little envelop with a poem for hot chocolate.

Love Banner:
This cute banner is made with coasters. They used the big shot letters and the Love you Much Stamp set (113756, $25.95)

Test Tube Candy Holder:

I loved this little test tube candy hold. I really loved how they made a box to put it in. Once again this is the Love yo Much Stamp set and lots of our fun punches.

Wacky Wednesday 1-28-09

Thanks so much to all of you who made it to my open house. I had a great time and I hope you did too. For those of you who couldn’t make it here is some of the fun you missed. Maybe next time you will be able to join in the fun.

Because it was and open house and there was no official hostess to give a gift to and my prize drawing was for the hostess benefits I decided to give each guest a special gift for coming. Each guest received one of these fun Good friend boxes and each was filled with a different surprise gift. Once again I used the new Good Friends Stamp Set #113740 $28.95 and the fun new Petal Pizzazz #113417 $32.95.

Then each guest had the opportunity to create 2 fun make and takes. The first used the set Just Buzzin’ By #113228 $27.95. This is one of my favorite new stamp sets. We made a card and a matching envelope. It’s hard to see but the card says “just buzzin’ by to say…” Then on the inside it says “have a honey of a day! We also stamped a cute flower on the inside.

The second project used the wonderful big shot top not die #113463 $21.95 and some of the products from the Love you Much Bundle #115405 $41.48. We used the heart to Heart Punch #113694 $15.95 and the Love You Much Stamp Set #113756 $25.95. The Bundle also includes the Candy Lane DSP#113980 $9.95 which I love so much that I didn’t have enough left to use. If you bought these products separately they would be $51.85 but you can save 20% on the bundle for just $41.48 through the end of Januray. Hurry fast time is running out.

My guest also had the chance to check out my retired sets for sale, earn chances to win the hostess benifits, visit with old and new friends and have a little bit of chocolate. We had a great time. I still have lots of sets for sale you can check them out by clicking here. Be sure to check out the great specials I have going along with them.

Marvelous Monday 1-12-09

I know we have lots of great new Valentines sets and projects but I thought I’d pull one out from last year. This set is on the dormant list now, but I think you will probably find it in the new catalog. Either way I know it’s not being retired so I thought I’d show it off. Maybe I’ll try and add some more samples using the great big shot top note die and the mini catalog sets.

This is another Marvelous Marker technique. This technique is great because it allows you to get more versatile colors with just a white roll of ribbon. It’s actually really easy all you need is your white ribbon, your stampin’ write marker and scratch piece of paper.

To color the edge of the ribbon simple drag the brush edge of the marker along the edge. Don’t worry if you go off the edge a little bit because once you tie it you really don’t notice. I had fun with this technique and used it as just an accent. You can also see it on my Celebrate page for the Freewheeling Friday Post on January 2nd.

So give it a try and see what you can come up with.

Stampin’ Sunday 1-4-09

After I finished making the little wish boxed designed by Kelly Gettelfinger the I showed you in my Marvelous Monday post on December 29th I realized I still had a lot of stuff left from my Simply Scrappin’ Kit. So I decided so see what I could come up with. I got the design for this from one of Patty’s posts. So here is what I came up with.

I used the long ended envelopes to create my book. First I sealled them the cut of the very edge to make a pocket. Then I used my punch to punch a whole in each one to make it easy to pull out my cards.

I covered both sides of each envelope with paper. (I didn’t have enough paper left for these so I used some that I had, same thing with the pullouts.) I used the crop-a-dile to punch the holes in the side that I tied my ribbon through. I used the Aspen ribbon from the mini catalog.

I think this is a great book because of all the pull outs. It really allow you to put lots of pictures in it and it make a great gift. I used my extra pieces from the “I wish” Simply Scrapin’ kit to decorate my book.

Remember that this great kit could be on the retired accesories list. (I won’t know for sure until tomorrow.) So order yours today to make sure you get one. Click here to start placing your on-line order.

Kits of the Month-Jaunary

Some of you many have noticed that I have the new January Card kit of the monthup. I’ve also decided to add 2 new types of monthly projects. I’ve added the page of the monthand the project of the month.

Just like the card kits you will get all of the consumable products you need such as paper, ribbon and some accessories. I will be featuring one stamp set in each of the different kits. You can always get this set on sale with the purchase of the monthly kit.

In addition I’ve added a Kit Night. This will be the last Thursday of each month. This is a night that you can come and use any of my products to complete your monthly kits. If you have loved the monthly kits, but are missing several of the products and just can’t afford them this is the best place to get them all done. You must pre-order your kit by the 15thof each month in order to attend the kit night. You can still order any of the kits by the 25thof each month and pick them up later or have them shipped (additional charge).

You can see more information about each kit and the current kits by clicking here. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Here is a preview of the kits for this month. Click on any of them to go directly to that kit.

Page kit

I hope you will enjoy this new program and take advantage of it. I’m not the one that designs the card kits but I will be doing the other two so if there is any set that you would love to see featured please let me know.

I just want to quickly clarify. This is a different program than my monthly club. There is no commitment simply pick the ones that you want to do and let me know before the cut off date.
