Stamping With Kristen

Stocking Punch is not going to be available much longer!

The Holiday Mini Catalog is almost over.  Stampin Up infomed us that the Stocking Bulder punch will not be available in the next catalog, and they are only available while supplies last. 

Stocking Builder Punch   124095

Price: $16.95  Buy it now

Here are a few cards made using this punch:

 Kim Vale made the pink card, Lyssa Zwolanek made the Christmas Stocking, and I do not have a label on the blue card so I can not give credit to who made it.  If it was you, let me know!  I love how you can use it to make things other than a Christmas Stocking!

The following items will still be available after the Holiday Mini is over on January 3rd.

Final Christmas Cards

Here are the rest of the Christmas Cards that I received this year.  It has been so much fun getting the mail each day! The first several cards were made using My Digital Studio. 

Shari Swanson made the one on the left, and Melony Bishop made the one on the right.

Kerry McDonough made the one on the left, and Lyssa Zwolanek made the one on the right.  All 4 of the My Digital Studio cards had pictures inside of their families and also a nice greeting.  I love all the options you have when you design with My Digital Studio!

Sue Kremer made the one on the left, and Gail Duenckel made the one on the right.

Thanks for all the great cards, they are so fun to receive!

Happy Stamping!

30 Second Card

I just received my order with the Clearance Rack item: Something Special Simply Sent kit.  I love it and will be ordering more!  What a steal.  I opened it up and less than 30 seconds later I had a finished card!

There was no stamping involved (but you could add any greeting), I just used the included rhinestones and ribbon, and was finished!  All you need at home is a scissors to trim off the ends of the ribbon.  You can get an 8 pack of these with envelopes for $2.39!!!  What a steal!  They make great gifts!

Stampin Up also added a few more products today so check them out too.

Christmas Cards

I had good intentions of posting Christmas cards as I received them, but somehow time got away from me.  Here are a few I have pictures of, and I will take more pictures tomorrow.

Come back to see more!  I have received so many beautiful cards! 

Joy Gift Bag

Yesterday I showed you a gift idea using 3 small frames.  Today I want to show you the bag I made to put them in.  I started out with a handled kraft gift bag.

Next I folded a 8 1/2 X 11" piece of card stock in half and trimmed the sides to fit the bag.  I used the word window to punch out an area for the handles to fit through.  I punched it 3 times to make it wide enough.

This picture shows how it looks opened up.  I used the Serif Essentials Bigs Alphabet Die Set, Five Petal Flower Punch, Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper, Basic Pearl Jewels, and Scallop Trim Border Punch on it.

Here is the finished project.  This bag topper is nice because it keeps people from seeing what is inside. 

I am off to wrap a few more presents.

Joy Framed Gift

I made this for a $5 gift exchange.  The frames were bought a couple years ago and have been sitting in my stamp room, so I decided to finally put them to use.  They were only $2.50 for 3 at Target. 

I used Frostwood Lodge designer series paper as the background, and then using the Big Shot cut out the letters with the Serif Essentials Bigs Alphabet Die Set.  To dress it up I punched 2 five petal flowers for each frame over lapping them to look like holly.  I finished it off with an antique brad and used glue dots to stick them on the frame.

 

A Few More Christmas Tags

If you are like me you still have wrapping to do, so here are a few more Christmas Tag ideas. 

Two of these use the Two Tags Die.  I love the Glimmer Paper!

For the Noel tag, you punch the Decorative Label punch twice using the glimmer paper and over lap them underneith to make it look like you have a larger punch to mat the Noel piece.

 

I love our products!  So many dies and punches were used to create all of these. 

Happy Wrapping! (is anyone done wrapping gifts?)

Christmas Tags

Here are more Christmas Tag ideas.

The flowers above were made using the big shot.

The Top Note die was used on the tag above and also on the one on the right below.

Do you know what all these tags have in common?  They all needed the Big Shot!  If you do not have one yet, you will really want one when you see the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It is FULL of great new products for it. 

If you have not received the Occasions Mini Catalog let me know and I will make sure you get one. 

Christmas Gift Tag

I designed this gift tag for a gift tag swap at my upline's (the person who recruited me to join Stampin Up) meeting.

I used the Big Shot Two Tags die to make the backing.  I also used the Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add texture. The image is from Stitched Stockings and was punched using the Stocking Builder Punch. 

 

Tomorrow I will show you a few other tags.
