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!

Santa's List Post Card

My kitchen sink is still plugged so I am still doing dishes "camping style":( 

I have walked two days on the treadmill this week. Although I think I am going to have to only walk every other day and do Pilates on the off days to stretch. The walking is causing a lot of pain to my lower back and neck so the stretching should help. 

We got our first frost last night but it was a light one. The killing frost is still to come but hubby got the tomatoes and peppers brought in so they are safe. Even a light frost will make the tomatoes taste nasty! We have beautiful sunshine today but the temperature didn't quite reach 50 degrees (F).

Are you wondering about our sauerkraut? Well, it was two weeks Sunday since we made it. We can't take the lid off to peek so just have to hope that our diligence with the temperature is paying off. We have two more weeks to go before we can taste it. Then about two weeks after that we can move it into the root cellar to store for winter use. Sauerkraut is sooo good for your digestive system...as good as taking probiotics and a whole lot cheaper. You can read about the benefits of sauerkraut here and here.

Okay, now on to the card for today...

Santa's List is one of those stamp sets I bought but wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. My Happy Stampers made a card at our last stamping club meeting and you can see it here. Then I saw this super cute card on Pinterest and since I was wanting to order the Post Card stamp and Gorgeous Grunge (for the speckles), decided to get everything I needed and make it! I have been looking for the last hour for the original designer of this card and finally found her! Whoo Hoo! I would hate to not give due credit for this great card design. Her name is Jane Goldman and you can see her card at Petite Fleur Paperie . I really wanted to angle my post card like she did but evidently didn't cut my base card the right size. I love the way I can control the spots with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I used the stamp off method so as to get more subtle spotting. I sponged all the edges and the paper doily with Crumb Cake ink. 

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

• Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
• Stamps: Santa's List; Post Card
• Ink: Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar and Cherry Cobble
• Other: Tea Lace Paper Doily, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine

What! No Dimensionals?!!! Not on this card! 

I hope you enjoyed this very cute card and please, stop over to see Jane's creations at Petite Fleur Paperie.

Have a great day...or what's left of it!

Santa's List

Remember this little tease from yesterday? This card is total CASE of one by Mindy Backes at Bada Bing! Papercrafting! This was a quick and easy card to make. You could easily make 10 of these in 20 minutes or less. Sometimes that's what we need...several cards quickly!

Last Wednesday night we made these cards at our Happy Stampers Club. I think it was a real favorite! Now for the full card...

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

• Paper: Whisper White and Baked Brown Sugar card stock; Season of Style Designer Series Paper
• Santa's List stamp set
• Ink: Baked Brown Sugar and Cherry Cobbler
• Other: Dimensionals

That's it! Super easy peasy!

I will be back a little later with the Happy Homemaker Monday!
