8 Weeks Until Christmas - Make a Memory kit - video tutorial

Today I am going to show you a kit that will make a great Christmas gift for all of your scrapbooking friends.  OR - you can make several gifts for your friends and family: just choose a favorite photo or two, follow the directions in the kit to make a page, and then frame it!  What a unique and thoughful gift!

It's the Make a Memory kit from Stampin' Up! - an online exclusive product that you may have missed if you only shop from our catalogs.

In the video below, I show you the contents of the kit - and several layouts I made using the supplies in the kit.  I did add some additional card stock, ribbon, and embellishments to complete some of my pages.  But this kit includes A LOT of "extras" to help you make great pages.  Follow the directions - or get creative and do your own thing!

Below are some of the other layouts I made with this kit.  

My niece's wedding day:

 

My niece's bridal shower:

A day at the ball park - with the  Savannah Bananas:

Our family's "Spring Christmas" - where we take a trip and celebrate all of our birthdays at the same time!

Two special days with my husband:

If you would like any information about the details on these pages, please send me an email.  If you are local to me, I would love for you to come over some time and I'll help you design pages for your photos!  This kit is available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST - so be sure to get it now, if you like it as much as I do!

9 Weeks Until Christmas - Video Tutorial

Just 9 weeks until Christmas!  Have you started making your Christmas cards yet?  Here is one of the cards that I was working on last week, and will be sending it out to some of the people on my Christmas card list.

I originally made the card below - when I first purchased the Branching Out bundle.  This stamp set is not really a Christmas one - but I saw a similar card on Pinterest - and thought the snow tipped branches would make a BEAUTIFUL holiday card.

I also made the card using different card stock colors, including Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy.  Instead of stamping a Christmas greeting from another stamp set - I used greetings from the Greetings for You Mix & Max Ephemera Pack.  There are A LOT of different self-adhesive greetings in the package.  These greetings are very sturdy and most of the time I attached them using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added ribbon or twin to the stamped layer - before attaching it to the card front.  You may notice that I also embossed the bottom layer of Crumb Cake card stock - which adds a beautiful look to the card.  I used a retired embossing folder (Timber) on my card.

Watch the video below to see how I made this card.

Here are the pieces you will need to make the original card.

Saturday Sketch

 Here are two cards that I made using the same sketch - for a sketch challenge from a demonstrator training group I am in. 

Here is the sketch I used to make my cards:

 I followed the sketch closely - except I substituted the hearts in the sketch for other small die cuts and a greeting. I used  Christmas Tags and More 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper, Christmas Greetings Mix & Match Specialty cards & envelopes, and the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack - all from Stampin' Up! - to make these cards. 

How to make today's cards:

• The plaid card bases are from the Christmas Greetings Mix & Match specialty cards and envelopes.  They are a little larger (4-1/4 x 6-1/4) than a regular card base (4-1/4 x 5-1/2) and are a nice size for holiday cards.  They have beautiful gold foiling on them!  
• The Garden Green or Real Red card stock banner is 2 x 5-1/4. Cut a 1/2"  notch out of the bottom.
• The stockings and tree images are 2 x 3" pieces, cut from the Christmas Tags and More designer paper. 
• Both of the above pieces are matted on 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 piece of gold foil.
• I used die cut pieces from the designer paper and added greetings from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera pack.
• I added a bow using Real Red & White baker's twine.
• (After I took the photo of these cards - I decided to add some Iridescent dots on the card front.)

Below are some of the products I used to make these cards.  Click on any image to add the item to your shopping cart.
