Embellished Ornaments

Check out this beautiful tag Lenora gave me in a swap at On Stage Tampa.

Embellished Ornament OnStage swap 2015

Lenora used the Embellished Ornament bundle (140856/140857) along with our Gold Glimmer Paper (133719), Gold Cording Trim (139618) and Red Foil Sheets (139607) to create this elegant tag. And I love how the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details (125585) was used to add the berries to the stamped holly image.

And here is another card I received from Marilyn that has a lot of bling and is sure to make a statement.

Embellished Ornament SC swap 2015

Don’t you just love these Metal Rimmed Pearls (138394) and the Embellished Ornament Stamp Set (139756/139759) that are now part of the Online Extravaganza? She teamed up the Bermuda Bay Squin Trim (137910), Silver Glimmer Paper (135314) with the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (135315) which is part of the Weekly Deals to create the hanger.

Winter Wonderland

I love the images found in the Wonderland stamp set (139752/140365) found in the holiday catalog. And since the set includes a suite of products that coordinate with it this set is so easy to use and create wonderful projects.

Here are two cards that I received in swaps that use items that are currently on sale in our Online Extravaganza that ends on Monday, November 30th.

This first card is done with Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. The Gold Embossing Powder adds yet another layer of color. Check out the delicate Venetian Crochet Trim (134581) that adds yet another layer of texture to this tone on tone card given to me at On Stage by Amber.

Wonderland swap 2015 (1)

Beautiful.

And how about this elegant card that Joanne gave me.

Wonderland swap 2015 (2)

It uses the Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper (139588) and the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack (139594) to create layers of color and textures. I love these little silver snowflake embellishments aptly named Winter Wonderland Embellishments (139621) are lovely and add a bit of sparkle to your projects. And I love this type of snow!

Gingerbread House Fun

Do you enjoy putting together a gingerbread house with the family during the holidays? How about making one with our Baker’s Box?

Baker's Box Gingerbread House

This gingerbread house is calorie free! (Well of course, that doesn’t include the kisses I’ve tucked inside LOL!) And since I’ve used one of our Clothespins that are part of the Online Extravaganza as the chimney you can open it easily to take out the little treat.

I’ve used the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper to create the cute little candies along the bottom and since the Baker’s Box Thinlits come with all kind of extra goodies, I’ve made the door and windows using the thinlits along with the little heart too.

I know you can’t tell since the photo doesn’t pick up the beautiful Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper that I’ve used for the snow covered roof, but the roof just shimmers! Would you believe I cut the bottom edge of the roof with the Square Collection Framelit Dies? Yep, it’s the largest square. Cute, huh?

Making this little gingerbread house took me back to memories of my Girl Scout days in elementary school,  when we took our empty milk cartons and decorated them using royal icing and candies. I kept that little house until it totally fell apart!

Want to make some memories making some gingerbread house yourself? I’ve used several of the products that you can find on our Weekly Deals and Online Extravaganza this week so not only can you make these cute little gingerbread houses, but you can get a great deal too! And when you use my hostess code and purchase more than $35 you’ll get a free gift from me too.

Supplies:

Paper: Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (138450), Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (135315), Mossy Meadow (133676) and So Saffron card stock (105118)

Accessories: Baker’s Box Thinlit Dies (138279), Square Collection Framelit Dies (130921), Clothespins (133764), 1/2″ Circle Punch (119869) and 1/4″ Handheld Circle Punch (134364)

Santa Fry Box

The Online Extravaganza is filled with great deals and here is a wonderful little treat that you can whip up for the holidays using several of the items on the list!

Santa Fry Box

This cute little Santa Fry Box was made with the Fry Box XL Die (132966) and the Floral Frames Framelits (127012). If you haven’t tried it already the Fast Fuse (129027) it makes putting these together a snap! And it’s mess free too.

Can you tell the beard was created with our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (135315)? I wish my camera would pick up just how beautiful this paper is. I love this paper which shimmers and shines with the light and it’s on the Weekly Deals this week! So what could be better?

I chose the ribbon since it coordinated with the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper I thought. It’s our Gold & White 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon (139614) from the Holiday Catalog and while I used the White  I think the bow would be great in gold too since it would highlight the belt buckle.

Want to see another Fry Box projects I’ve made? Great for those 4 legged family members you need a holiday treat for.

Hot Diggity Dog Fry Box

You can check out my quick video tutorial showing you how I made the back with our Designer Series Paper.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another little treat item with you.

Mini Berry Basket Blessing Mix

I love to give Blessing Mix to friends and family for Thanksgiving. It’s a great little snack and I love this poem I found years ago when I first started stamping that I always attach to the treat.

Blessing Mix Mini Berry Basket (1)

I created a Mini Berry Basket to hold this year’s Blessing Mix and if you’d like to learn how I made it you can CLICK HERE to see my Mini Berry Basket Video Tutorial.

Great news the 1/8″ Circle Punch (134365) and the Berry Basket Die (137366) is part of our Online Extravaganza that is starting today – So you can save too!!! As always I’ve posted a complete supply list below for your convenience.

Want the poem? Here you go!

Blessing Mix

The Bugles are a symbol of the Cornucopia, a horn of plenty.

The Pretzels represent arms folded in Thanks & Prayer.

The Candy Corn reminds us that during the first winter,

Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn per day.

The Fruit is a reminder that Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.

The Peanuts represent seeds, the potential of the bounteous

harvest of the next season if they are planted & well tended

On Stage – Tampa

Last weekend I was able to attend the first On Stage Event that Stampin’ Up! held in Tampa, Florida.

On Friday I was able to participate in a shoe box swap with friends and I’ll be sharing some of these great cards with you in the upcoming weeks.

Sherrie's Shoebox Swap 2015 OnStage Tampa

I was so excited to see what the new format for our Demonstrator Events would be like. While the Main Stage was in Brussels, there were 6 different regional events being held at the same time here in the United States and that was in addition to those held in other countries. All total there were more Demonstrators gathered together at one time than in ever before – and the energy was high.

When we entered the ballroom we were greeted by tables filled with new goodies!

On Stage Tampa 2015 Tables

The tables were decorated with Blackberry Bliss table cloths and the theme of one of the new suites, Going Places from the 2016 Occasions Catalog was highlighted in all the goodies on the table.

Of course, no Stampin’ Up! event would be complete without a Prize Patrol!

On Stage Tampa 2015 Prize Patrol

After all who can resist a new stamp set!!! I can’t wait to try out this new set it’s definitely a must have so I was thrilled when I won it!!!

I enjoyed spending time with my fellow team mate JoAnn who joined me in Tampa

On Stage Tampa 2015 Team photo

And the SINKS team members, my extended family.

On Stage Tampa 2015 Group

It was a great day together and while I had  lot of fun sharing, laughing and stamping together,  getting the first peek at the upcoming Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure was the high light! (I can’t wait to share a sneak peek with you with my Prize Patrol set during the Coffee & Cards Buffet in December! Watch for more information coming your way soon!!!)

After the great day we had together we continued the fun with dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse.

On Stage Tampa 2015 Dinner

What fun, spending time with new and old friends and sharing our favorite moments of the day’s presentation and training.

Oops…. I almost forgot to share with you some of the fun pillow gifts I made for my roommate.

With all that sharing we do I love to jot notes down since I can never remember it all – so I made a notepad set with pen and binder clip for holding all those goodies together

On Stage Tampa 2015 notebook set

I used the Project Life Remember This stamp set (135786) since I love this sentiment and of course the Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper (138187) and  Pacific Point 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (138427).

We receive a special event bag to hold all our goodies in so a name tag is always helpful to identify ours from the rest! After all 398 of the same bags in one place….well you get the idea.

On Stage Tampa 2015 bag name tags

And for my fellow Team members and travel companion I made this cute little domed box.

On Stage Tampa 2015 pillow gifts

It held some chocolate, pen, binder clip and of course flags so we could mark all those wonderful must have stamp sets!

The next day was an early morning wake up and off to the airport to head home –

On Stage Tampa 2015 Airport

Of course, I made sure I had my new catties on the plane with me – ready to settle in and dream! I think this is the best Occasions and Sale-a-bration yet!

On Stage Tampa 2015 Airport and catalog

Oh my gosh, can you believe all these goodies I brought home with me!!! Stampin’ Up! pampers us at these events. I LOVE being a Demonstrator – and I love the fact that I get to order and preview items before they go live!

OnStage Tampa 2015

If this sounds like something you would enjoy now is a wonderful time to become a demonstrator.

Hot Diggity Dog! On Stage – Tampa

This past Saturday I was able to get together with other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators in Tampa for an On Stage presentation by Stampin’ Up! What can I say I love these events, after all what could be better than getting together with others who love stamping as much as you do?

Today’s card is another one that uses the Folded Frame Technique that I shared with you on Friday. Click HERE to see my Folded Frame Video Tutorial.  I designed this card for the On Stage event so I could do some swapping on the floor before it started and I got some great cards in return that I look forward to sharing with you over the next few weeks.
