Christmas Gift Event - Sound Card

So it is time to start thinking about your Holiday Gift Shopping! I know you might not want to but I promise to do all I can to make it easier on you. The first thing that I am going to do is host a Holiday Gift Making Event. Where you can choose from eight different gifts to make & give to all of your favorite people for the Holidays. Make sure to put yourself on the list too.
Over the next 2 weeks I will be posting pictures of all of my Holiday Gifts here on my blog. Make sure you check back frequently so you can pick all of your favorites. The first one is the new Sound Card out of the Holiday Mini. You can choose from one that plays "We wish you a Merry Christmas" or one that you can program with your own sounds.

The card itself is whisper white. So I decorated the front with always artichoke cardstock. Then took a piece of very vanilla & stamps the words Season's Greeting in Cherry Cobbler. Then stamped 3 of the leaf images in always artichoke ink. The leaf & the words are from the Peaceful Seasons level 2 stamp set out of the Holiday Mini. This stamp set is only available until January 4th. Contact me today to find out how you can get one for FREE. Then behind the very vanilla cardstock is a strip of the new Stampin' Up material called Deck the Halls. The button is laced with linen thread then glued onto the card with 2 mini glue dots.

Here is a side view of the card so you can see the sound card itself. This card will be available for $7.50 each & will come with one of Stampin' Up's padded envelopes.
Be on the lookout for other great gifts.

Button Up for Chrismtas

A card similar to these was on the front of this month's Stampin' Success magazine. A magazine that is for demonstrators only. If you are interested on how to receive this wonderful magazine every month contact me.

The cards are made exactly the same I just used different shaped buttons out of the candy cane buttons in the Holiday Mini catalog.

The base of the cards is baja breeze. The words are also stamped in baja breeze ink. The stamp is one of the images in Christmas Greeting stamp set. The saying from this stamp set is stamped in baja breeze ink on the inside. Then each of the buttons are glued on with 2 mini glue dots each.
Now wasn't that simple. You know how I love simple & pretty.

My Daughter Alexis' 16th Birthday Card

My daughter Alexis is turning 16 tomorrow. I wanted to design a card that was SO her. Purple is her color. For my older daughter it is pink but this one loves purple.

The base of this card is concord crush cardstock (I just love that color). Then I took a piece of perfect plum & ran it through the Big Shot machine with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. Then I took concord crush 1/2" stitched ribbon & made the back & forth design by sticking it to a piece of sticky strip. Then I stamped the cupcake image & the words "Got Birthday" both from the "Got Treats" stamp sets in concord crush ink on whisper white cardstock. The words I punched out with the word window punch. Then glued them to a punch of concord crush using the modern label punch. Then the image I also stamped with concord crush ink on whisper white cardstock. I punched the image out with the 1 1/4" circle punch. I layered it on a 1 3/8" circle punch of perfect plum & a 1 3/4" circle punch of concord crush. Both the image & the words are attached to the card with dimenionals to give a bit of a pop.
Happy Birthday (tomorrow) to my beautiful daughter Alexis!
