7 weeks until Christmas

Only 7 short weeks until Christmas - so today I'm going to show you 7 of my favorite kits from the online store.  Stampin' Up! introduces at least 2 new kits each month - and sometimes it's hard to keep up with them.  So take a look at my suggestions below and see if you agree with me: these kits are great!  There's a kit for just about everyone on your list ! Then check out ALL THE KITS in my online store!

#1  Handmade and Heartfelt Kit  ($32; makes 10 cards and a sturdy card organizer)

The colors in this kit are just beautiful; plus all of the cards have special touches that make them so pretty.  And with that sturdy box to keep everything organized - you can't go wrong with this kit!

#2 Beautiful Blues kit ($23; makes 9 cards)

I love the color blue - so this kit caught my eye right away.  I guess a lot of people agree with me - because this kit is on low inventory - so get it while you still can!

#3 Birthday Fancy Kit ($25; 12 cards)

This kit has all the supplies to make 12 different and unique cards.  Use the pieces in the kit to get creative - or follow the instrutions that are provided.  Either way - you end up with a stack of cards - ready to mail at a moment's notice.

#4 Share a Smile ($14; 8 notecards and a storage box)

The name of this kit says it all!  Make these quick note cards (NO STAMPING INVOLVED), put them in the included box, and always have a card to send - for no other reason than to make someone smile, knowing you are thinking about them.

#5 Hello, Hollycocks ($16; 9 cards)

I just LOVE this kit.  It's another quick and easy one - NO STAMPING - but the cards are so pretty in real life.  Can't go wrong with this one!

#6  Remembering Christmas ($22)

Use all the pieces in this kit to make a cute mini album - to preserve your holidays.  Lots of spaces for photos and memories.  Makes a great gift!

#7  Make a Memory Scrapbooking Kit ($36; makes six, 2 page 12"x12" scrapbook layouts)

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!  

A page for about my son and a page about my daughter:

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.
