I've been blogging about our Luv 2 Stamp Group Christmas Gift Exchange earlier this month.. and today I'm so excited to share the last segment of our evening together. You can see other posts from this event with my downline here.
This darling apron and gorgeous plates were made by Lorena, and Cindee got this lovely gift. Lorena used Mod Podge to apply Stampin' Up! Candlelight Christmas fabric (#126905, pg 4 Holiday Catalog) to the back of large clear glass plates. These are just STUNNING!!
I received this stunning bracelet made by Ellen... it is so pretty and features NEW Designer Paper coming up in the Spring catalog!!
Lorena was the recipient of these fabulous wreaths made by Laura.. they are wrapped with Candlelight Christmas fabric!
Sharon received lovely cocktail napkins made by Carrie. Carrie is a great seamstress and used Comfort Cafe fabric for these treasures. (item #126894, pg 171 Stampin' Up! Catalog).
And lastly, (but not leastly) :) Joy received this amazing set of drawers decorated by Sharon.. I just love this technique.. Sharon shared it at our October meeting and i will be blogging about this technique soon!
I wanted to give a little gift to each of my downline attending our Luv 2 Stamp Group Christmas party earlier this month, and I also made these for some neighbors.. it''s a great, easy and quick gift for the Christmas season!
I bought the containers in the Dollar Spot at a local big box store, and filled them with hot cocoa packets, peppermint marshmallows, Hershey kisses, and decorated them with Stampin' Up! Sweater Trim (#129939, #127838, #129937), a candy cane, and tags made with the Snow Festival tags (#128152) and printed images in My Digital Studio.
I used these punches: Curly Label (#119851), 2-1/2" circle (#120906), 2-3/8" scallop circle (#118874) and 1-3/4" scallop circle #119854
At our Luv 2 Stamp Group Holiday party on Friday night, Cindee Wilkinson taught us how to make this ADORABLE Christmas Framed Art Craft, featuring the Scentsational Season stamp set and matching set of framelit dies from Stampin' Up!

In October, my stampers came to my class to make these gorgeous ornaments, similar to the one on the cover of the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog. I die cut 800 ornament shapes for this class (which took DAYS to cut and bag and organize).. but now you can make these ornaments super quickly!

Joy and I were inspired by the paper angels we saw on Cindee's blog, and after watching Kay's video, we just had to make these!
I used designer paper from the Candlelight Christmas package mostly... do you LOVE the CLEAR FLOCKED WINGS on this one!? I've been hoarding that paper... so glad i found a great use for it!
You
can see the colors here that I used for sponging on the cardstock.. I
used basically the same colors of cardstock plus the Champagne Glimmer
Paper for some of the Acorns.
For this swap card, I die cut tags from the Two Tags die, and then cut strips of paper from the Snow Festival DSP package and added them to the tags.. what quick and cute tags!!!
a tip for multi colored mittens... ink your Make a Mitten mitten stamp in your lighter color first (I used Primrose Petals ink on Whisper White cardstock), then use a darker marker (I used Raspberry Ripple) to add darker accents direct to the rubber. Stamp and punch out with the Mitten punch. THEN stamp and punch green mitten toppers to adhere to the pink mittens and voila, 3 colored mittens!
I created the greeting portion in My Digital Studio and punched them out with the Decorative Label punch.
and this month I am especially thankful for the amazing 15% off Sale from Stampin' Up! last month and to my amazing customers for a record breaking day!!
So.. of course, that meant LOTS of Thank You cards...
I decided to go with a fall theme for my cards, and I cut about 150 Fall Leaves with my Autum Accents Big Shot die and textured them with the Woodgrain embossing folder, then sponged them with pretty fall colors
You can see the colors here that I used for sponging on the cardstock.. I used basically the same colors of cardstock plus the Champagne Glimmer Paper for some of the Acorns.
The gorgeous combo of Cherry Cobbler, Champagne Glimmer Paper and Old Olive really make this card a winner!
I used all 3 snowflake shapes that cut out on the Snow Flurry die, and added a 3/4" circle punch and a star punch from the Merry Mini's pack to complete the center.
Here are some step by step tips I shared at my workshop:
Die cut snowflakes with Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Champage Glimmer paper with the Snow Flurry die and the Big Shot
Cut a 4"x1-1/2" strip of Candlelight Christmas DSP and sponge the edges with Old Olive Ink, add to 4"x5-1/4" Very Vanilla panel
Add vanilla panel to "side fold" Cherry Cobbler card
Tie Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanila seam binding around card
IIMPORTANT: stamp greeting before adding snowflake
Layer snowflake with circle and star to front of card with dimensionals
