May Your Season Sparkle

It's hard to think of Christmas when it is high 90s here in southern California, but I needed to get this card mailed out to the other demonstrators. With every new catalog, someone organizes a swap where we all pick a stamp set and share our creations. This is one of my samples. My other one will be shared later this week.

This Sparkling Season stamp set also has a coordinating thinlits die (useful with the Big Shot). I love any stamp set that has a coordinating punch or a bigshot die. You also know that I LOVE dazzling diamond glitter and this set is perfect for it. But I also see a lot of potential with this set. It could be used for every possible occasion you can think of. Check out the new Holiday Catalog for other fun products as well!

Season of Giving

Ya'll know that I love to give and help the Ronald McDonald House Charity. This year, I don't know what happened, but the days are going by way too quickly and I almost forgot! (GASP) So in my desperation, I decided to stamp the mini muslin bags and added the holly and berries embellishments.

The bags were filled with M&Ms and other chocolates. Here's a cute poem I came across for using M&Ms and sharing the Christmas Story.

As you hold these chocolates in your hand, And turn them, You will see.
The M becomes a W, an E, and then a 3.

They tell the Christmas story, It's one I'm sure you know.
It took place in a stable, A long, long, time ago.

The E is for the East, Where the star shone so bright.
The M is for the Manger, Where Baby Jesus slept that night.

The 3 is for the Wisemen, Bearing gifts, they say they came.
W is for Worship, Hallelujah, Praise His Name.

So as you eat these chocolates, Or share them with a friend,
Remember the meaning of Christmas, It's a Love story that never ends.

Christmas Photo Card & My Digital Studio Downloads

Christmas is just around the corner so I wanted to share our Christmas photo card for this year.

(Photo of the card. Couldn't figure out how to directly show you the final product. Forgive the quality please.)

The trend in creating photo cards lately have been with different cut out shapes. I particularly love the new Artisan shape. (Similar to our Note Card Die.)  Now when you order the cards through Stampin' Up!'s professional printer, you have the option of using these shapes. The different shapes can be found in the "bleed" area sections in the My Digital Studio program. After I could see where it would be cut, I then placed the white overlay "peace everywhere". Simple! Finally, I gave the back a colored background, typed my greeting, and voila!

 

Before its cut, this is how it looked:





Front

(Amazingly enough, this family photo was taken with my iphone while on a trip to Zion this past November.)



Back
(And yes, we have another addition coming to our family in a few months. Surprise!)
 

Hope you'll try making your own photo cards and give My Digital Studio a chance.

Day 3 of Giveaways

Holiday season can be a little overwhelming with all the holiday parties, gift purchasing, and more. But I love it because I get a chance to talk and fellowship with friends that I may not be able to see as often as I'd like.

I had a party with one of my good friends and teacher assistants form our school not too long ago. Since it is the Christmas season, I wanted to make with her and her guests something extra special.

As you can see, we made THE ornament that is on the front cover of the Holiday Catalog and a matching card. Although the kit is no longer available, you can re-create it with these items: (you can get the bundle with the stamp set and coordinating framelits dies or you can purchase them separately)
