Festive Flurry Gift Goodie

I was wrapping a gift for a customer the other day and decided to make this gift goodie to go on it! I am loving the Festive Flurry Bundle from Stampin' Up! No only are the stamps gorgeous, but you have Framelits to cut the snowflakes out with! This was the first time I used all four snowflakes in the bundle.

Oh so pretty!!!

For this Festive Flurry Gift Goodie I used the following Stampin' Up! supplies:

• Paper: Whisper White card stock and Silver Glimmer Paper
• Festive Flurry stamp set
• Big Shot with Festive Flurry Framelits
• Ink: Island Indigo, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party
• Other: Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Silver 1/8" Ribbon, Frosted Finishes Embellishments, Basic Rhinestones

I am looking forward to making more of these Gift Goodies for my own Christmas packages!

Are you finished with your Christmas shopping or just getting started? Me? I am just about finished:) I am working on getting Christmas cards out and hope to get them all done by the middle of next week!

Have a great day!

Happy Stampers Semi-Flip Card and a SALE

I need to make a lot of cards today! I love when I am able to spend several hours at a time at my crafting table! Woo Hoo! 

Today is the beginning of Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Sale! You can place an order by emailing me or by going to www.stampinup.com and choosing me (Kathy Skinner) as your demonstrator (if you don't already have a demonstrator)! NOTE: The first 3 items on the list are on sale for 30% off on November 20 ONLY!

Now, for one of the fun Happy Stamper Club cards we made last Wednesday!

I really wanted the Santa on the front of this card but after I got it done I realized it looked better with the Festive Flurry snowflakes on both sides. Some of my Happy Stamps sponged around the Santa and it looked great!

Same card opened! Don't you love the Festive Flurry snowflake?!!!

This fun and amazing card is one I saw on Dawn Griffith's website Dawn's Stamping Thoughts! The link will take you right to her video tutorial. She has such amazing cards on her website and lots of instructional videos...be sure to check her out! 

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! supplies:

• Paper: Whisper White cardstock and Seasons of Style Designer Series Paper
• Stamp Sets: Festive Flurry, Santa's List and Sassy Salutations
• Ink: Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive
• Big Shot with Labels Collection Framelits and Festive Flurry Framelits

Have a great day!

BOO

My Stampin' Up team member and very good friend, Margarita, sent me this card! Oh. How. Cute!!! This is a side-step card. I don't know all the supplies she used on this card but will tell you what I know...

• Paper: Basic Gray, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Crumb Cake and Old Olive card stock; gold glitter paper
• Googly Ghouls stamp set (retired); not sure about the sentiment
• Punches: Bat (retired); Owl Builder Punch (for ghost); leaves on pumpkin from the Bird Builder Punch; 1 3/8" Circle Punch
• Looks like the pumpkin might have been made using the Ovals Collection Framelits and the BOO is from the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies (on my Christmas list)
• Dimensionals; Googly Eyes; Plastic Mesh (behind the BOO); maybe a Glue Dot or two:)

Check out her cute little tombstones!

And this adorable pumpkin!

Thank you, Margarita for sending me this card! I love it!!! Margarita reads my blog so be sure to leave a comment telling her what you think of her card!

As my regular readers know, I do a monthly one-to-one card swap with my Happy Stampers and some of Margarita's customers as well. But what you don't know is that Margarita has her own swap with her customers and many times they swap with everybody meaning you make a card for each person in the group. This is great because then you get several different cards! I signed up this month to be a part of Margarita's group and am so anxious to see what cards I get. There are seven of us swapping this month so need to make six of one kind of card! I think I will be using the Festive Flurry stamp set and framelits for my card! 

Have a great day! I will be in my craft room stamping up a storm today...with a huge smile on my face!!!
