Christmas Flash Class!

Hi, friends!

I've had to cancel this week's online card class, but I am offering a Christmas Flash Class instead! This class is only available for one week, and it ships out rather quickly (by December 5). I did a quick video to show the cards and explain a little bit more about the class. You can watch the video here:  

 

Here's a little peek at the cards in this class. There is a danger of this paper going out of stock, so while I will do my best to order as class registrations come through, I may have to make a substitution. 

 

To add a little bit of extra fun, I am also going to add a gift to some of the packages. For every 5 class kits that are purchased, I will choose one random person from everyone who has purchased this class to receive one of our $14 kits. Yay! 

This class is available to purchase until Friday, November 28. Class kits will ship out by December 5. If you'd like to purchase the class, please fill out the registration form, and I will send you an invoice. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Happy Stamping!

Creation Station: Spooktacular Treats

 

It's the first Sunday in October, and that means it's time for this month's Creation Station Design Team hop! Our theme this month is Spooktacular Treats.

 

 

For my project, I've created two treat boxes using products from the Spooky Sweet Suite Collection. This box design comes from Erica Cerwin - she created the cutest Christmas version for a Creative Convention I attended recently, and I've turned her design into a fun box for Halloween! She recommended a Little Debbie Christmas tree for her box, so I think some of the Little Debbie fall/Halloween treats might fit as well. I've put in two Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - they're my favorite. This box is perfect for a few of any fun size candies you like!

 

The box is a pretty easy design - cut a piece of cardstock 6 1/2" x 9 1/4". Then score the short side at 1 1/4" and 5 1/4". Score the long side at 1 1/4", 4", 5 1/4" and 8". Then cut the tabs as shown below.

 

Your adhesive will go only on the tabs. You'll fold four of them in to create the bottom of the box, and then the top two will fold in to create the lid. Wrap your ribbon around the box and tie in a bow, then adhere a Perennial Postage die cut to both the top and the bottom to hold the ribbon in place. When you untie the bow, your box can fold open. 

 

Make sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created - they're sure to inspire you in all of your Halloween crafting!

 

Happy Stamping!

Creation Station: Two Tone Cardstock

 

It's the first Sunday of the month, and time for this month's Creation Station Design Team blog hop! Our theme this month is Two Tone Cardstock. 

 

The number one reason I love this product is that we now have cardstock in two shades of every Stampin' Up! color! I've loved using multiple shades of color on my projects, and I decided to highlight the beautiful shades of Secret Sea on my card today. 

 

To create my diagonal striped background, I glued 1/4" strips of Secret Sea Two Tone Cardstock to a piece of Basic White cardstock and then trimmed the edges. I created a pattern by alternating between the light and dark sides of the Two Tone Cardstock.

 

The other products I've used on my card are from the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection. Here is a full list of products used on this card:

 

Stamps: Traditional Labels

Ink: Versamark

Paper:  Thick Basic White, Real Red, Secret Sea, Basic White, Secret Sea Two Tone Cardstock, Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Traditional Sparkling Sequins, Real Red 1/2" Shiny Ribbon

Tools: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Textured Notes Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
