Good Neighbors

I love the new Good Neighbors stamp set that is a Sale-a-Bration set this year. You can earn this cute set for FREE with a $50 order or by hosting a qualifying workshop. I can't wait to make more cards with this set. I stamped this card using 3 of this year's In Colors (Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, and Melon Mambo). I used the new Sale-a-Bration Scallop Trim Border punch on the Melon Mambo card stock. The greeting is also from a Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Whimsical Words.

With All My Heart Thank You

This card features the Sending Love Designer Series Paper and the With All My Heart stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love this new paper, and it even has glitter on it! Unfortunately, the Pretty in Pink ink doesn't show up well in the photo (there are a couple of flowers stamped above the thank you). The ribbon is the white taffeta ribbon.

Fox and Friends Baby Boy Card

I just LOVE the new Fox and Friends stamp set. Maybe it is because I have a 2 year old and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it, but maybe it is because it is just a super cute stamp set!

I stamped the monkey in gable green (sorry it doesn't show up well in the photo), the turtle in bermuda bay, and the whale in tempting turquoise. I tied bermuda bay polka dot ribbon around the card and then stamped the greeting in bermuda bay ink. The greeting comes from the Whimsical Words Sale-a-Bration stamp set--that you can earn FREE with a $50 order or by hosting a workshop (now through March 31st).

With All My Heart

I finally had a chance to use some of my new stamps tonight. I've had a box of goodies waiting for me, but I was out of town. This is a card that I made for my swap for my Saturday group meeting.

This card features the With All My Heart stamp set that is in the new Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the Rock and Roll technique on the large purple flowers (ink them in Lavendar Lace and then roll the edges of the stamp in Elegant Eggplant for the lighter to darker effect). I also used Summer Sun ink and cardstock. The greeting is mounted inside the card and the window is punched through the front with the modern label punch. I got the polka dots on the card base by using the new perfect polka dots impressions folder for my Big Shot that is also in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Mystery Hostess Party on January 28th

I'm holding my annual Mystery Hostess Party on January 28th at 7pm and you are invited to attend. This is my favorite (and most popular) event that I hold. Come for a fun night of snacking, stamping, visiting, and winning! One of my lucky guests will win the hostess benefits from all of the orders placed that night. You earn tickets based on a variety of things (bringing a friend, coming on time, being one of the first 5 to RSVP, booking a workshop in your home, joining a stamp club, every $10 you spend, signing up to be a demonstrator, etc). You'll stamp 3 FREE projects and everyone will go home with a prize. Everyone is invited, so invite your friends and RSVP. See you then!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2010 is a great year and brings you all the best. In the stamping world we have a lot to look forward to. First off, Sale-a-Bration and the Occasions Mini Catalog begin soon. January 5th is the big day when you can order some of these great new products.

If you'd like to host a workshop, let me know so we can get it on the calendar. Stay tuned for more details!

Facebook

So, I joined the 21st century and created a facebook profile. If any of you would like to be my "friend" on there, look me up. I'm just listed as Shauna Cundick. I'm hoping to spread the word about my stamping events on there. So now you can find out about my stamping classes and such right here on my blog, on my facebook page, and on my website at http://shaunacundick.stampinup.net

The 12 days of Holiday Sales special on Big Shot products ends on Tuesday, so if you are interested in that, let me know ASAP.

I hope you are all enjoying this Christmas season and that you are (just about) ready for Christmas. I have to apologize for the lack of idea posts this month, it is just that I'm working hard trying to get ready as well. I'm making most of my gifts this year (stamped tile coasters, birthday calendars, regular calendars, bundles of cards, magnetic Build a Bear paper dolls, etc.) so I'll have to share some of those with you later on. The Build a Bear paper dolls are my favorite!

12 Days of Holiday Sales

Stampin' Up! is having a great sale on dies and vinyl for the Big Shot. Do you own a big shot? If so, this is a great time to get a great price on dies for it. Maybe you don't yet own a big shot but would like to in the future--stock up on the dies now and then buy your big shot in January during Sale-a-Bration and get free sets at the same time! This sale ends next Tuesday, December 22.

Birthday Water Bottle Topper

Here is another water bottle topper. Click here to see the first one I posted. This one uses the cupcake wheel along with the Party Hearty stamp set. Colors used are Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, and So Saffron. To get the multi-colored stamp, I colored directly onto the stamp with my Stampin' Write markers. The 1-1/4" and scallop circle punches reinforce the hole where the topper sits over a water bottle.

Holiday Extravaganza SALE is coming!

The Holiday Extravaganza SALE is coming on Monday! Check out my blog or website for the details. In the past, this sale has had incredible deals--some stamps even 50% off. If you'd like me to notify you as soon as I know the details, please call or email me or post a comment to this post.

Coasters

My friend and I made some coasters today for Christmas gifts. These were so fun and easy to make! These coasters were stamped with the Baroque Motifs stamp set that can be found in the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. We also made some using the Circle Circus stamp set which turned out great. I'll have to get a picture of those and upload it later.

Polka Dot Petals

I love Stampin' Up!'s bold stamps. They just make cards so easy (no coloring involved). All you need are stamps, ink, and paper!

This card is made using the Pick a Petal stamp set. So fun! You can stamp as many petals as you'd like to make your flowers. The black gingham ribbon finishes it off.

Rectangle Window Christmas

This stamp set is retired, but I'm posting this card for the idea.

I used the 1-1/4" square punch to make a window on the card. To make it rectangle, just punch the square a couple times next to where you punched first. That way you can make the rectangle any length you desire.

When the card is open, the trees are stamped inside the card.

Baroque Motifs

I just love the black gingham ribbon that Stampin' Up! sells. It works with so many different cards. This card features the Baroque Motifs stamp set. I stamped the flower from that set and then punched it out with the circle punch and layered it on the card. Quick and easy!

Holly Jolly Pocket Card

Here is a different idea for a Christmas Card--a pocket card. I wrapped a 5-1/2"x2" piece of Designer Series Paper around the base of the card and glued it at the bottom and on the back sides. Then, the actual stamped card gets tucked into the pocket. I used the slot punch to punch a hole for the ribbon. Colors are Real Red, So Saffron, and Always Artichoke. The star punch is mounted with a Stampin' Dimensional for a finishing touch

Snowman Christmas

This Christmas card uses a couple of retired stamp sets, but I thought I'd post it for the idea. This layout would work great with almost any stamp set. I also like the red gingham ribbon for the scarf on the snowman.

The colors used are Real Red, Handsome Hunter, and Brilliant Blue. I used the Stampin' Pastels to shade in the snowman a little.

Season of Joy 2

Here is the same card that I posted Wednesday, but with the colors switched. It uses the Season of Joy stamp set. I can't decide which I like better.

Harvest

Autumn Harvest is a perfect stamp set for this time of year. I used Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Always Artichoke, and Chocolate Chip on this card. The brads are Always Artichoke and the dots are made with the paper piercing tool in the Crafter's tool kit. I watercolored the pumpkins using my Aquapainter.

Season of Joy

This Christmas card uses the Season of Joy stamp set. This is one of my favorite stamp sets. It makes such quick and easy (and classy) Christmas cards.

Big on Christmas

Here is a hand-stamped Christmas Card that I offered as part of a card buffet in the past. I love the Big on Christmas stamp set. We stamped it in red, then again in black and cut out the snowman from the black image. After coloring and cutting out, mount the snowman with a stampin' dimensional.

Single Ornament

This is another card that I received as part of a demonstrator swap. If you want to join my team, you can participate in these fun events with other demonstrators. I just love the ideas that we give to one another.

This card uses Delightful Decorations and the ornament punch, a perfect duo! Colors are Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant.

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....

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.
