Last Minute Shopping? 24 hour offer…

I have a last minute offer for you!

Do you have the Northern Flurry embossing folder?  You should!!  Check out these cards we made the other night at our final Christmas Card Club meeting.  Not only did members make 3 each of the following cards but they also received the Northern Flurry embossing folder for free with a a $50 order.  Now all of them loved the folder so much that they each took advantage of the free Northern Flurry embossing folder deal!  So I thought I would pass the same deal on to you as well!  This special is a 24 hour only special and will end Tuesday, December 13 at 8:00 EST.

Spend $50 on any Stampin' UP! merchandise and receive the Northern Flurry embossing folder (or another of equivalent value) for FREE!

On this card we added a little Smooch Illuminate Top Coat to make the snowflakes stand out even more.

A little bling anyone?

I wish I could take full credit for this cutie patootie but I cannot.  I found him on our Demonstrator Web site!  Here the snowflakes are the background, not the main focus.

And I don't know if you can see it but the snowflakes here were embossed on Shimmery White card stock.  So pretty!  In case you can see it better here's a closeup.  And a few pearls is just enough to finish these snowflakes.

It’s Beginning to look a lot like…

Christmas???  Thank goodness it's really not, but we are doing the first Christmas Stamp a Stack of the season tomorrow!

Here's one of the cards my guests will be making…

So the best thing about this card is that my pool is in the background!  LOL  No, but seriously, I love this card!  The inspiration came from this card here.  It's basically the same, just different colors and a different sentiment.  Hope you like it!

Christmas Scrapbook Pages

This year I did a silver and red themed tree so I just had to make a layout to go with it.  Now to get those pictures printed….

Anyway – I used the printed snowflakes acetate, the Delightful Decorations stamp set and coordinating Ornament punch all from the Holiday mini.  I added some vellum paper snowflakes and added our Duo Silver Beads to the center (I have to have bling!).  I also dabbed on some Frost White Shimmer Paint (did you know all 3 shimmer paints from the Holiday mini are STILL available!!!!) on the ornaments and the edges of the Kraft cs.  A special shout out of thanks to my friend Teresa M for the inspiration of these pages!

And here’s our tree.  Not sure if you can tell the red/silver going on on the tree.  I really need some photography lessons!  I have this great new camera now and no idea how to use it!  Silly!

And here is Christmas morning (bear in mind we have 4 kids!).

Tired of Christmas Yet?

Well can you suffer through a couple more of these great Christmas cards I received??  I think you can!  Check these out.

The first one was made by Dottie C.  The wreath is such a nice deep green (Handsome Hunter maybe?) and the red bling really stands out from it.   And check out the corner details!

The second card was created by Mary C.  It’s a fabulous easel card using the Definitely Decorative stamp set.  The ornament was stamped and embossed with Iridescent Ice embossing powder on Real Red cs and punched out with the ornament punch.  It holds the tent up just perfectly!  And what a perfect way to display a picture of her handsome boys, huh?!?!

Thank you ladies!
