More Stitched Stockings

Yes, it’s Stitched Stockings again! Love it! I used a the new Pool Party and Wild Wasabi on this one. I really like the wintery feel of this color combo.The new Dazzling Details make it so easy to add the sparkle with no mess. The cuff on the stocking is that pretty new velvet ribbon from the Holiday Mini catalog.

Hope you get to stamp today!

Book a Workshop Today, earn a FREE Stamp Pad or Set!

Today Stampin’ Up! is having a world wide Bookathon. You all know I hate to make those phone calls where you ask people to book a workshop and for you that means FREE goodies! Book a workshop today and earn a FREE stamp pad  of your choice when you hold your qualifying workshop! Get a booking at your workshop and we’ll turn that free pad into a free stamp set of your choice, valued at $14.95! I know some of you would love to have a fun evening of holiday stamping with your friends, and you and your friends will be thrilled to have a chance to earn that FREE Big Shot I am giving away, so call me today to book your workshop! And for those of you who stop by a little later this week, yes, I’ll still honor this offer through 8 PM Sunday night (Oct 16th). Call me! 918-827-6148 or email

If you would like to book a Holiday Stamp a Stack (yes, the booking incentive applies!) These are three of the card choices for your stamp a stack.

What is a Hostess stamp a stack? Rather than a standard workshop where we do a couple of make and takes, your guests make multiple cards. You and your guests stamp 25 cards for $25 and as the hostess you get to keep the stamps, pads and other tools that are used to make the cards! It’s a great option for hostesses who would rather offer a stamp camp type event as opposed to a traditional workshop. Call me and we’ll plan a camp for you! The more campers you have attending the more you earn!

The sounding joy

Hostess Offer Fine Print!

We will order your free item on your workshop when we place the final order. Your workshop must total $150 in sales to be a qualifying workshop and receive the pad as well as hostess benefits. All workshops must be held between now and November 30th.

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Stocking

Holiday Stocking

How cute is this little Christmas Stocking? There are lots of little goodies that can be tucked inside. The best part  is that you don’t need a pattern or a lot of cutting. There is a new die in the holiday mini catalog that will cut them out for you! There is an accent die, also. I used it to make the holly berry decoration on the stocking. I will be using these a lot this season!

Thanks for looking!

More Stitched Stockings

Today I have another fun little card using the Stitched Stockings set. This is such a fun set to play with! It’s a fairly quick and easy card, but I fussed with it a little more than most people would! You could use the punch to cut out the stockings and it would go more quickly. You can make the most adorable stocking cards using the set and punch together or either one on it’s own. Yesterday, I used both together. On this card, I used the set alone and hand cut the stockings.

Tomorrow I am going to force myself to play with some of my other new goodies 🙂

Thanks for looking!

Stitched Stockings

This is the first card I was able to put together with my pre-order from the yummy new Holiday mini catalog that goes live on September 1st. I can’t wait for you to see it! Until then, I’ll keeping posting fun little sneak peeks like this one! Isn’t the little Christmas stocking adorable? Even more fun is the matching Stocking Builder Punch that works with it! Love it! The Frostwood DSP is traditional, but with a masculine appeal. I’ll be using this one a lot this season. Last but not least, I have to bring your attention to the gorgeous new quilted ribbon. It comes in Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip. Mmmmm, that even sounds yummy. I’ll be back tomorrow with more sneak peeks, so stay tuned!

12 Gifts of Christmas

Tags til Christmas

These are the last two gifts in my 12 gifts of Christmas series. These are quick and easy to do, but show how easily you can personalize or dress up a simple little gift to give it that special touch.

The first is a popular idea, just fill a mug with baked goods or goodies of any kind and package it up with a pretty bow and tag. I actually bought this already packaged and just added the tag and bow.

Bells and Boughs

I made a bunch of these little candles for myself. I love the scented holiday candles, but when I buy the yummy smelling ones, I am hungry all the time! So I like to buy the votive candles and just burn them for a short time. I added our glass glitter to the base of the candle and they look so sparkly and festive in a little crystal holder. Just paint some glue on the candle and roll it in the glitter. Our glass glitter is so pretty. It’s made from real glass and gets a really nice antique look as it ages. Pop a couple of these candles in a cello bag with a topper for a nice little gift.

Thanks for looking!

CD or DVD Envelope

This project was very easy and I must admit, it is one of my favorites. We all love music at our house. I say that without a bit of exaggeration. We often spend an evening listening to music and chatting rather than watching television and rarely does a Christmas or birthday go by without a request for a particular CD. I must also admit that I am addicted to the digital music downloads on Amazon! You can own your favorite song in seconds and if you just like one or two songs on an album, you can choose just those songs. You can find music that you just can’t find on the shelves at stores. So you can see where I am going with this. I created CD’s for each of us with personal favorites and I needed an envelope to present them in.

Tags til Christmas

I just took apart a CD envelope and traced it onto the paper. I needed several envelopes, so I traced the pattern onto a blank stencil sheet and cut it out. Once the envelope is traced and cut, simply score from one side of the flap to the next or use a bone folder to fold in the flaps. I used Dotto repositionable on the top flap, so that it can be re-sealed.

Thanks for stopping by!

Inkspirations Christmas Blog Tour

Welcome to the……

I hope you are enjoying the tour. If you started at the Inkspirations Challenge blog you probably just arrived here from Andreas fabulous blog!.

We are highlighting Christmas gifts on the tour, and so I am continuing with the 12 gifts of Christmas theme that I have been showing on my blog. I’ll be adding gift ideas throughout the weekend and next few days, so feel free to check back for more gifting inspiration.

The first item I have for you (or 5th in my 12 gifts series) is a simple but very festive box that is filled with candy treats. I used the #2 box die and I wanted to mimic a beautifully wrapped gift box. As with all of our dies, these go together very quickly and I simply added a satin ribbon and a quick and easy tag. Any of our die cut boxes or containers are perfect for a candy treat that makes a quick gift for teachers, co-workers, party guests or anyone else you may want to remember with a little something special.

This next item is a tea bag holder. You could use this as a simple little gift or add it as a tag to a special mug, tea pot or box of someone’s favorite specialty tea.


The tea bags are tucked into a stamped glassine bag and tied inside the card.

I printed a fun little poem on the back of the tea bag holder. This would be perfect to tuck into the card of someone dear who won’t be home for the holiday.
