Happy half-weekend, y’all! Hope it’s going well! 🙂
Today’s Christmas card – number seven in my Twelve Saturdays of Christmas Cards – isn’t a “card” at all! It’s a sweet little Box of Joy – decorated as a Christmas treat box with the A Little Christmas DSP! Take a look-see:
Hey y’all – well, here we go – it’s Saturday and that means the last day of OnStage! We’ve got a full day ahead of us of stamping presentations, make-and-take-ing, product previewing, getting our hands on the new catalog (finally!) and lots of clapping. Cheering. And Chocolate. Stampin’ Up! events are fueled by chocolate.
And coffee.
Or tea. Not me – I’m all coffee and Diet Mt. Dew!
Thursday night at dinner, I gave out some little gifts to my Crittters-N-Creatin’ Krew team mates who are here with me!
The goodies came in pretty bags so…I just needed to add a tag! I used the Creative Haven bundle and the Joyful Squares die set together to make the cute tags. The coordinating Square Snippets DSP set a pretty floral stage. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Monday! The LAST Monday before the Big Day!! Are you getting that last minute gift shopping done? Or…maybe you’re still looking for that perfect something! I’ve got just the thing for the crafter in your life (or….perhaps you can let someone know that YOU’D like this one!).
We’ve got an amazing new catalog going live in a couple of weeks and any card maker would be tickled sideways to have a little mad-money to spend, right? So…maybe a Gift Certificate from me – in any amount! – would be an awesome option – for Christmas !! 🙂
Good morning and happy Monday! Well – the cold hit yesterday – with a windy blast of arctic air. So – the barn is all closed up – the plants in the garage – a heated water bucket hung on the outside gate so I don’t have to break ice in the trough in the morning. It’s going to be 19 – with a wind chill down to I-don’t-even-know. I can see all y’all northerners rolling yer eyes. 🙄 But – this is the SOUTH! So…that’s way too danged cold for this kid!
As I was looking at my list of thank-you’s that I need to send, I realized that this would be a good time to make a card that would easily make mulitples. I hit on the Thanking You stamp from the Annual Catalog and paired it with a tree from the Pine Tree Trimmings set. Add a double frame and…boom! Take a look-see:
Hey guys – happy Sunday! Hope your weekend is everything you needed it to be! We cleaned up the house yesterday so…I suspect TODAY will be my day for organizing in the craft room!
But – what I DID get done was…SIX super cute gift card holders. I love giving Gift Cards at Christmas – always the right size – the right color – exactly what they need! But…I hate just sticking it in a card. So I like to make fun gift card holders. The ones I am currently loving have a surprise hidden slider mechanism on the inside! I decorated them with North Pole Delivery Specialty DSP and the Jolly Delivery stamp set, Modern Christmas Specialty DSP and some pretty Ephemera, and Elegant Pines DSP with Delicate Pines sentiments and die cuts! Take a look-see:
Hey y’all – I’ll be back in a bit with this month’s SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop card but…wanted to let you know that we’ve got a really cool new goody available right NOW – and it’s while supplies last!

Good morning and Happy Happy HAWWWWMP DAY! Hope the week’s going well! Before I get going – I want to make sure you’re tracking that we’ve got a ONE DAY ONLY Stamp Sale – tomorrow!! Tomorrow only – stamps and some stamping tools – will be on sale – you’ll save 15%! Yeah! So – be checking what’s going to be available – info is down below – and get your list ready to go! Whoo-hoo!
My card today is a cute little Christmas card using the Jolly Delivery stamp set and bundled dies – plus the coordinating North Pole Delivery Specialty DSP – from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog! And – just for ducks – I made a cute treat box to go along with! Take a look-see:
Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all – from snowy (yep) Georgia! The snow started after lunch yesterday and it snowed pretty solid until after dinner. Not sure what it did after it got dark but….we were watching the Neighborhood postings and saw that our main road was blocked both ways due to ice – lots of cars stuck or off the road. So – we’re staying home! Wouldn’t be prudent to do otherwise, I’m thinkin’! 🙂
Last week, I showed y’all the Thank You Kindly Kit all put together – it’s just gorgeous in white, black and gold!
This week, I want to share the remaining two new kits from January – that I put together in about an hour – the Brightest Birthday Kit and the Birthday Bash Kit! Now – they work perfectly together – but…obvs you don’t have to buy them both.
If what you’re seeking is birthday/celebration cards – grab the Brightest Birthday Kit!
Good morning and Happy Christmas Eve, y’all! I know today is going to be busy – wrapping, cooking and last-minute-ing!
If you’re still looking for a last minute gift – maybe one that can be delivered by email?? And you’d like it….right NOW? Or maybe you’d like to drop a hint or two about the “perfect” gift for yourself?! I got you!
You can get a Gift Certificate from me – for Stampin’ Up! merchandise. The certificate can be for any amount so they’re always the perfect size! You (erhhm…your recipient!! 😉) just has to get in touch with me to redeem!
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table. I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I give a lot of gift cards at Christmas. Don’t judge! They’re easy for me – and pretty much always the perfect size/color/flavor for the folks who get them. But…I DO like to give them in a cute Gift Card Holder and that’s what I’ve made for you today! It’s a pop-up Gift Card Holder and it features the Humble Home stamp set and punch, the gorgeous Sentimental Christmas DSP and…a NEW punch called the To The Point Label Punch (which you’ll be able to get on 7 Jan!).
