Heard from the Heart Holiday Card

Here is a Christmas card that some of you may recognize. We did it as part of a stamp-a-stack last year. I stamped the snowflakes from the Snow Swirled set in white and then the greeting from Heard from the Heart in garden green. The scallop edge punch and striped grosgrain ribbon add the finishing touches to this quick and fun card.

More Ornaments

Delightful Decorations is my FAVORITE new Christmas stamp set (in case you couldn't already tell from my posts). I received this card from a swap with other demonstrators, but the maker did not sign their work so I can't give credit. This card features two ornaments tied with the silver elastic cord that can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog. There are so many possibilities with this stamp set, be sure to order yours today. If you order by Saturday, you can take advantage of my amazing stamp sale and get it for 10-15% off!!!

New Label

I've added a new label to my list. Most labels are specific stamp sets or accessories used. To help you with Christmas Card ideas, I've labeled all of those cards CHRISTMAS CARDS. Scroll down on the right side of my blog and you'll see the list of labels. Hope this helps!

Another Digital Christmas Card

Digital Snowflake Card

A few squares of paper, a scallop edge, a punch, a button, and a greeting make a fast and fun Christmas card. I think I'll have to try using this recipe on other cards and see how they turn out.

This is another fast card that I made using My Digital Studio. The template was done for me, I just changed the punch and greeting, but everything else was already created. I love that these pre-created templates not only make fast cards, but also inspire me to make hand stamped cards using the same layout. I hope you are enjoying the card ideas so far. Stay tuned for more cards (hand-stamped and digital).

Another My Digital Studio Card

Here is another card as part of my Virtual stamping class this month. It is another card that I made with My Digital Studio, but the great thing is I could make it with my regular stamps and paper too!

My Digital Studio makes projects so easy! I love the way this card turned out, and it is digital so I could print a bunch of them and send them out for my Christmas card this year. I also like how I was able to create it without making a big mess. I think I'll re-create this one using real stamps now. This software works well to create digital projects, but it is also a great way to conceptualize the "regular" stamping projects that you want to make. I was able to play around with it and change colors and layers without wasting supplies.

First Digital Christmas Card

Here is the first of a bunch of cards that I am going to upload as part of my Virtual stamp class over the next week.

This is my first card that uses My Digital Studio. This is a great new paper crafting software that Stampin' Up! just came out with. You can make cards, calendars, digital scrapbooks, and more with this program. This card took less than 5 minutes to create. You can start from scratch or make a card that already uses a template. I just added the background pieces and the ribbon, the snowflake elements were already done for me.

If you'd like to find out more about My Digital Studio, or would like to get it for yourself, give me a call (or email). Remember, I'm still having my amazing sale and you could get this for 10-18% off if you act now.

There are still good discounts left....

Did you see my post yesterday about my amazing sale? Well, two people have taken advantage of it, but that means there are still great discounts left. Will you be one of the lucky customers to get more than 10% off? Who wants to get 18% off their order? Contact me now to place your order.

Here is my best ever special offer....

With the H1N1 flu going around (including in our household), October's stamp class is going to be Virtual. Visit this blog over the next week for card ideas in lieu of an actual hands on class this month. I'll be posting some new cards over the next week. In addition, I am offering an amazing special to all of you, one that I've never offered before.

The FIRST person who emails me or calls me with an order will get 20% off their ENTIRE order (that is MY discount, so it's not going to get better than that)! The second person gets 19% off, 3rd gets 18% off, and so on. Once we hit 10% off we'll stop there and everyone can take advantage of that. This is a great time to stock up on supplies for Christmas projects. This special begins today at 7:30pm and ends on Halloween.

Virtual Stamp Class

So, as most of you know I haven't announced any information about my October stamp class yet. I like to hold stamp classes in my home each month, but that isn't going to happen this month. We got one confirmed case of H1N1 in my household over the weekend, so for everyone's benefit this month's stamp class is going to be virtual. I'm going to upload some fun ideas and then I'm going to give you all a special offer that you can take advantage of this month. Stay tuned over the next day or two for details.

What is the significance of October 24?

So, October 24th is significant to me in my stamping world. Do you wonder why? Check out my website at http://shaunacundick.stampinup.net to find out. If you do, click on the date on my calendar and you'll see my special offer!

3x3 Mini Envelope Pull-out Album

Here are some pictures of the final project that we made at my stamp club class. This is a fun pull-out mini album that is made from the 3x3 envelopes. The cover of the album is 11-1/2"x3-1/2" and it is scored at 8", 7-1/2", 4" and 3-1/2". I use 6-8 mini envelopes for the pockets. Fold the top of the envelope over, lick the glue, and stick it to the next envelope. The final envelope gets glued to the middle of the cover. Once that is done, all that is left is the fun part--decorating and adding photos. I used a Simply Scrappin' Kit to decorate. One kit is enough to do 8-10 albums. These would make fun gifts! They are the perfect size to throw in your purse or diaper bag so that you can show off pics of your kiddos. Let me know if you have any questions.

Dasher Bookmark Card

This is another fun project that I made with my stamp club last week. The card features a detachable bookmark. The card stock is 11"x5-1/2", so you can get one of these cards from a regular sheet of card stock or two from a 12x12 sheet. I used the cutter kit to perforate the card at 2-1/2" for the bookmark. The designer series paper is from the Merry Moments collection, the stamps are from the under $10 section in the back of the catalog. I used the new shimmer paint from the Holiday Mini Catalog to add some sparkle and shine on the front of the card (it looks much better in person). If you have any questions about the bookmark card, let me know.

Deal of the Week #2

It's Monday, and that means it is time for another Deal of the Week from Stampin' Up! This week the deals are on dies for the Big Shot machine. If you are interested, you need to order these items THIS WEEK! The Perfect Setting die is on sale for $25.99 (reg $42.95), the Pop Up 3 Tier Cake die is on sale for $25.49 (reg $39.95) and the Flower Burst Embosslits die is on sale for $5.99 (reg $11.95). This is a great deal! If you have a Big Shot, add these dies to your collection now! If you don't own a Big Shot, order one THIS WEEK and I'll buy you an extra die for it (up to $19.95 value).

Birthday Calendars

Here is a picture of a fully stamped Birthday Calendar. You can order a blank Birthday Calendar for $7.95 and then decorate it however you want.

I just ordered 20 of these to make with some ladies at my church. It will be fun! They make great gifts. I love that they can be used year after year.

Christmas Tag Matchbox

This fun little box was made with the Matchbox Bigz XL die for my Big Shot machine. I cut the base of it with Real Red card stock and the top with the Merry Moments designer series paper.

I made some tags to go inside the box with the Delightful Decorations stamp set and the coordinating Ornament punch--I love how these two go together.

Water Bottle Topper

Last night I had a special class for the ladies who are in my stamp club. This was a free class as a Thank You for being part of the club. We made some fun projects that were different than the types of things I usually do at a hands-on class. We had a great time together. If you are interested in joining a stamp club, let me know. I'll be starting a new one in January.

This project is a water bottle topper. I love the little packets of Kool-Aid (for an 8oz bottle) or Crystal Light or Country Time Lemonade (for a 16oz bottle). The topper is 3" wide by 8-1/2" long. I scored the paper at 3" to make the pocket and then decorated it. I love how the scallop circle punch and 1-1/4" circle punch make a fun collar and reinforce the card stock where the topper sits on the water bottle.

I used basic black, pumpkin pie, and always artichoke for this project. The stamps are from the Pumpkin Patch set that is in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I used some always artichoke brads to secure the pocket.

Fall Tote

Here is a picture of the make-n-take project that I prepared for my last downline meeting. I promised a couple of weeks ago that I'd get this posted, and I guess it is better late than never. Things have been busy around here so my stamping blog was neglected a bit last month.

This tote is made with the Box#2 die for the Big Shot machine. The patterned paper is from the Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper and the colors are Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Dusty Durango (all new In Colors). I just love how these 3 colors coordinate so well. The stamps are from the Autumn Splendor set that is in the Holiday Mini catalog. The ribbon is Dusty Durango polka dot ribbon. If you'd like to know how to make this tote, post a comment or email me. If you'd like to have a workshop in your home, I can teach you and your friends how to make this fun tote.

Pumpkin Trio

I love these pumpkin stamps from the Holiday Mini, the set it called Pumpkin Patch. This is another of the cards that we made at last week's stamp-a-stack class.

The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Basic Brown. The patterned paper is from the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper collection. We stamped the greeting and then punched it out with the oval and scalloped oval punches. The Pumpkin Pie card stock has a textured pattern on it (sorry the picture doesn't do it justice) that we created with the big shot and the Texturz Plates.

Autumn Splendor from Holiday Mini

Here is one of the cards that we made at my stamp-a-stack class last week. We made cards that featured stamp sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog. If you haven't see the Holiday Mini, you need to--it is fabulous!!!

This cards uses the Autumn Splendor stamp set and 3 of this year's In Colors (Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, and Soft Suede). At first I didn't love the Autumn Splendor stamp set. The mini doesn't do it justice. Once it is stamped though, it is gorgeous! Those who attended the class agreed! We used the Tearing Edge to tear the Crushed Curry card stock and the Falling Leaves stamp set for the greeting. To finish it all off, we tied a little bit of Soft Suede polka-dot ribbon around the card.

Finally--a new card!

So I finally did it. I uploaded a new card. This is the first stamping that I've had time to do in the past few weeks. This is one of the cards that I'll be doing at a class for my sister's Enrichment Night next month.

I used the Party Hearty stamp set and the coordinating wheel. I colored directly on the stamps with Stampin' Write markers to get multiple colors on the stamp. Colors are regal rose, chocolate chip, so saffron, and pretty in pink (for the card stock).

Now I'd better get back to stamping. I need to come up with a make-n-take for my group meeting tomorrow.

I'm Still Here

Sorry that I've only posted once this month, and it wasn't even a card sample. I've had a crazy September. I just returned home from Virginia and can now get busy on some stamping (after laundry and such of course). My next stamp class is next Tuesday, so I'll be sure to post some creations from that next week. Also, I'm heading to Park City on Saturday for my group meeting, and I'll have some ideas from that to share as well. Finally, I'm creating cards for my sister's Super Tuesday this week, so I'll have cards from that as well. So, give me a day or two and you'll start seeing a lot more ideas posted.

In the meantime, if you haven't checked out the Holiday Mini Catalog, you should do so. It is fantastic!!!

Happy Stamping!

Variety Class Project #4

Here is another 3x3 gift card with matching envelope that we made at my class on Thursday. I used the circle circus stamp set to make this. The card is Gable Green and has Bermuda Bay polka-dot ribbon tied around it. The large circle is stamped in Bermuda Bay and is punched with the scalloped circle punch. The smaller circle is stamped in Gable Green and is punched with the 1" circle punch. The "happiness" stamp is from the Warm Words stamp set.

Variety Class Project #3

I love making these boxes! The box measures 4-1/2" tall x 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" deep. I scored it with my fiskars paper trimmer scoring blade.

I used Rich Razzleberry cardstock for the box, and then glued some of the Cottage Wall designer series paper to the front of it. The greeting is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and is punched with the word window and modern label punches. The butterfly is from the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and is punched with the new butterfly punch--I just LOVE that the punches coordinate so well with the stamp sets. The handle is the Rich Razzleberry Polka-dot ribbon and it tied in knots inside the box. The holes that it comes out of are reinforced with the antique brass jumbo eyelets. If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave a comment.

Variety Class Project #2

In addition to the basket I posted yesterday, we made a couple of cards, gift cards, a mini album, and a fun box (pictures to come).

Here is one of the 3x3 gift cards that we made. Gift cards are great and you can cut 8 of them out of one piece of 12x12 card stock. I used the Garden Greetings stamp set (it IS still available, even though it isn't in the current catalog--it is on the dormant list). I stamped the flower in Melon Mambo and then punched it out with the 1-3/4" circle punch and then cut the wedges out of it (I found this to be much easier than cutting out the whole flower with scissors). I stuck the flower on with a Stampin' Dimensional. I put a 3/4" strip of the Melon Mambo patterns paper across the card and tied a bit of chocolate grosgrain around it before gluing it down. Above the strip of paper I stamped the line of dots from the same stamp set in Melon Mambo and then stamped the Get Well Soon in Chocolate Chip below the strip. I love Stampin' Up!'s 3x3 mini envelopes, so I had to stamp the flower on that too in order to make it a matching set.

Variety Class Project #1

Here is one of the projects that we made at my Variety Stamp Class tonight. We had a lot of fun and had a good turn out. If you missed this class, we hope you can join us in September for the Holiday Mini class.

I used the Box #2 die for my Big Shot (my new favorite toy). I cut 2 boxes out and glued them back to back to make this basket. Instead of folding down the lid, I kept it up and punched a hole with my oval punch to make the handle. I wrapped an 1"x12" piece of the Cottage Wall designer series paper around it--there was a little gap in the front, so that is where I put my flower. I used the 5-petal flower punch to make the flower out of white and Rich Razzleberry card stock. The center of the flower is stamped with one of the circles in the Circle Circus stamp set. The leaf is old olive punched with the small oval punch and stamped with the Thank You from the Short and Sweet stamp set. I tied old olive grosgrain ribbon around the handle to finish it off.

Brown & Blue Snowflake

When I decided to make this card, I wanted to use some of SU!'s 5/8" grosgrain ribbon. I really need to get some in white, but I had to settle for brown. I'm not usually very into brown on my cards, but my need for the ribbon forced me to add brown with the blue. This was to my benefit because I like how it turned out, and I wouldn't have put these two together unless I (had) to.

I used the new Serene Snowflake stamp set along with the greeting from Four the Holidays. I stamped the snowflakes in Ballet Blue ink and used Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue card stock. This is an easy but elegant card to make.

And More Ornaments

Every year I look forward to finding a new Christmas stamp set that I love. I think I've found that for this year--I just love the Delightful Decorations stamp set that is in the Holiday Mini. Perhaps I love it because of the great ornament punch that coordinates so well, perhaps it is the bold (no coloring) style, perhaps it is because I have actually made some cards with it. I don't know, but I sure think this is a great set.

I used my Big Shot texturz plates to created the dotted background on the bashful blue card stock. The strip of garden green cardstock has the coordinating jumbo wheel rolled on it and is punched with the scallop edge punch. I tied some silver elastic cord around the ornament (punched with the new ornament punch) and mounted the ornament with a stampin' dimensional. The Merry Christmas greeting is in this set and is punched with the 3/4" circle punch.

Top Note Pumpkins

Here's another pumpkin card to get you in the Halloween spirit. It actually feels like fall this morning, luckily we'll be back to summer weather later this week.

I made this card using my Big Shot. I used the top note die on the pattern paper and the white card stock, and the texturz plates on the orange card stock to make the diamond pattern. Colors used are pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, and old olive. The pattern paper is from the Cottage Wall designer series paper pack. I love my Big Shot, it makes cards so easy and fun!

It's Snowing Here

Okay, so it might be snowing here on my blog, but it is far from that outside. We did actually get a cool down today, so it is in the 70s which is perfect--much better than the 90s we've been having.

I'm one who always "needs" to have a current snowflake set, so the new Serene Snowflakes made it to my collection this year. This is another set in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog. Although I do have a ton of snowflake stamps already, this set is unique and is sure to be one of my favorites! I used bashful blue, ballet blue, and brilliant blue on this card. The window is punched with the word window punch and the greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Pumpkin Tiles

I love these cute little pumpkins. I used the Pumpkin Patch set again to make this card. I punched the pumpkins out with the 1-3/8" square punch and then mounted them on Garden Green, White, Chocolate Chip, and Pumpkin Pie card stock. I used the slot punch to run the ribbon through the card.

Pumpkins Galore

So, it's still August and now I'm switching gears from Christmas to Halloween. I just can't wait for the correct season with all of these great stamp sets from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This card is made with stamps from the new Pumpkin Patch set. Stay tuned for more ideas, they will follow this weekend! I used Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, and Chocolate Chip on this card. I also used the oval punch, the scallop oval punch, and scallop edge punch.

Next Stamp Class

Next Thursday, August 20th is my next stamp class. This class will be a variety stamp class. We'll be making a clear envelope mini album, some cards, and some 3-D items (boxes and such). This will be a fun class not to be missed. If you'd like to attend, send me an email or reply to this post. Cost is $10 with $5 going towards a $30 order. Please bring your own adhesive, all other supplies will be provided. Feel free to invite friends or family to attend with you and you'll both receive a free gift. There are 2 class times to choose from--11am or 7pm. Hope to see you there!

Ornaments again

Here is the 6th and final card that I made last week with the Delightful Decorations set. I also used the Merry Moments designer series paper. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is punched with the Word Window and Modern Label punch. Colors are garden green, real red, and chocolate chip. Hope you've enjoyed this taste of Christmas in August.

Ornament Trio

Here is another card with the Delightful Decorations stamp set. There is so much that you can do with this set. I sat down for an hour and came up with 6 different cards. I'd like to try to come up more. I used the same 3 colors on all 6 cards, so next time I sit down with that set I will try out different colors.

I punched the ornaments out with the new ornament punch and then layered them on black, real red, and garden green card stock. The greeting is from Four the Holidays (another Holiday Mini stamp set) and the stars to the sides of the "Seasons Greetings" are from the Delightful Decorations set. I also used Crushed Curry ink and polka dot ribbon.

Christmas in August

Yep, I'm making more Christmas cards in August. Actually, I made 6 yesterday and I'm spreading out when I'm posting them. I have found that if I don't do Christmas cards ahead of time, they don't get done at all. Here is another that was made with the Delightful Decorations set and coordinating Ornament punch. I added a little Merry Moments Designer Series Paper and some white ribbon. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is punched with the Modern Label Punch and the Word Window Punch. Colors are Garden Green, Real Red, and Crushed Curry.

Ornaments Galore

This is one of my favorite cards made with the new Delightful Decorations stamp set. I used Real Red, Garden Green, and Crushed Curry (one of this year's In Colors). The greeting is from the new Four the Holidays stamp set.

More Delightful Decorations

Here is another card that I made with the Delightful Decorations stamp set. This is actually the first one that I made. I used the Merry Moments designer series paper that is in the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. I love that the catalogs tells you that Real Red, Garden Green, Old Olive, and Chocolate Chip match the paper--it takes out the guesswork. I used the new Ornament punch which makes this card quick and easy. The greeting is stamped in a White craft pad and is from the new set Four the Holidays that is also in the Holiday Mini Catalog (avail Sept-Dec). The ribbon is Old Olive 1/4" grosgrain.

New Christmas Stamps!!!

I know it is only August, but I was excited to stamp with my new Christmas sets (which will be available on September 1st in the Holiday Mini Catalog).

The ornament stamps come from the new Delightful Decorations stamp set. Not only is it a fantastic new stamp set, but it also has a coordinating punch to punch out the ornaments!!! You'll have to keep checking my blog over the next couple of days to see samples that use the punch. This is a SUPER quick card to make, no layering, no coloring, just stamps, ink and paper (and ribbon). The greeting is from Heard from the Heart.

Stamping for Swaps

I haven't posted any samples yesterday or today because I'm busy stamping for swaps. Stampin' Up!'s annual convention begins tomorrow. I'm not attending this year, but I'm sending some swaps with one of my demonstrator friends. In a couple of days I'll have 48 new samples to show my customers for ideas. I can't wait. Come to my upcoming class on August 20th and you can see the swaps I received.

In case you were wondering what I swapped, check out the butterfly card I posted on July 31st. I mass produced it to swap. I just love that card, the Melon Mambo color, and the fact that it is easy to reproduce.

Art Inspired Floral

I made this card for another Clean and Simple challenge. The challenge was to go to art.com and find a print that inspired a card. I used that print to create the floral part of the card (it was turned vertical instead). It was fun to try and create a card based on a piece of artwork.

I used the Fifth Avenue Floral set for the flowers and Sincere Salutations for the greeting. I stamped the flowers on Melon Mambo and Basic Gray card stock and cut them out to mount them on the white.

Bright Butterfly Trio

I saw a card using these 3 colors together and just loved it! Melon Mambo, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery make a fun summer combo!

I used my texture plates for my big shot to create the dots on the saffron and the diamonds on the celery card stock. The small butterflies are from the Flight of the Butterfly set. The Melon Mambo polka dots are from the Melon Mambo patterns designer series paper. The "friend to friend" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
