Jolly Friends & more

Today’s projects are some that were given to me at our Team Christmas Party. I love the way Cindy and Deborah used the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack (141991). The rich plaid patterns in this stack are perfect for guy cards and they evoke a warm cozy feeling for winter. Reminders of childhood for me I suppose and those cold Wisconsin winters LOL! I digress so without further ado – here are the projects.

This first one Deborah made using the Jolly Friends stamp set (142112) and Jolly Hat Builder Punch (141847) that are part of the Year End Sale! and Holiday Catalog Retirement List.

jolly-friends-team-swap-dec-2016-3

The little bag that she made out of our Kraft Cardstock (133674) is heavy weight and durable – so you can stuff it full of chocolate! (Or what ever little goodie you’d like.) Deborah found the most adorable Hershey’s Kisses that looked like Santa’s Hat at Target! I had to stop and get me some of those – just right for my husband Larry. LOL!

And this little mini Hershey’s bar is a perfect little something to spread a little holiday cheer.

pretty-pines-swap-dec-2016

Cindy wrapped the chocolate and added some boughs from the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies (141851) added a touch of the 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon (141487) and tie it up with a 5/8″ Organza Ribbon (114319) bow !

And finally this beautiful watercolor card that Cindy shared with us uses the Sunshine Sayings Bundle (142338/142339) found in the Annual Catalog on page 97.

sunshine-wishes-watercolor-team-swap-dec-2016-3

I love the simplicity of the card – How could it not bring a smile to your face?

Team Holiday Fun

Last week our Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers had it’s annual Christmas Party so I thought I’d share some of what we did with you.

This year our December meeting consisted of a luncheon, BINGO and of course stamping! Here are some pictures from the event.

BINGO was something new we tried as a team – I’m thinking it was a hit!

team-christas-party-playing-bingo-1 team-christas-party-playing-bingo-3

Everyone was a winner and got to choose goodies from the prize table, including items from the NEW 2017 Occasions Catalog!

bingo-winners-team-dec-2016-3

We celebrated Anniversaries with a little gift. Shared projects that we’ve created,

cindys-5th-anniversary-gift

and had fun making a Home Decor project during our stamping time.

And of course I just had to get a group photo of all of us! (I got to try out my selfie stick I daughter got me – LOL!)

team-christmas-party-2016

We had a lot of fun together and I feel so blessed to have these wonderful crafters and stampers on my team. It truly is on of the best parts of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. Doing what you love, gathering with friends, sharing,  and of course lots of laughter and fun!

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some of the wonderful projects my team members brought to the party!

Foxy Friends

What does the fox say? Well this little guy says Oh, Happy Day!

Isn’t this little card that Stacey gave me cute? I love the way Stacey used this all occasions set to create this fun card and I think these little antlers are adorable on the fox.

And how about these cards? This first one is a easel card that Linda gave me.

I hope the picture does it justice – this card is wonderful with the Copper Foil Sheets and matching Copper Embossing Powder.

This next card from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Marni

santas-sleigh-sc-hoiday-catalog-swap-2016

And how about this final card from Bea that combines the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle (143493) and the tree image from the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits.

santas-sleigh-sc-holiday-swap-2016

I love the way Bea used the Gingerbread man image to create the legs on the deer.

And how about this little planter that I made using the Santa’s Sleigh Framelits (140278) and Popcorn Box Thinlits Dies (141473) –

santas-sleigh-and-popcorn-box-1

I simply stamped and cut 3 trees out, folded them down the middle and adhered them together around a coffee stir stick of all things. The planter opens to hold some chocolate kisses.

Christmas Magic

This set contains the magic of the holiday season in it’s images – from the train and bell which reminds me of the Polar Express to the sweet little snowman. Want to see some wonderful cards I’ve received using this set?

Check out these cards while each uses the same snowman image they all have very different feels to them based on the color choices.

This first card Amy gave me and I’ve included the recipe below for you.

christmas-magic-sc-2016-holiday-catalog-swap-2

This second card has a soft feel to it since Jolene chose to use the colors from the Fancy Frost Suite .

christmas-magic-sc-2016-holiday-catalog-swap-1

And how about this final card from Marsha done in silver and Dapper Denim? Marsha added some texture when she used the Softly Falling Embossing Folder for the background.
