Hi Everyone! This is one of my cards for my local card class tomorrow. The card features Snowflake Showcase products – The die and stamps are only available through November 30th! I paired it with the Joyous Noel Designer Paper which was so popular it sold out!
For me, the snowflake is the star of the show and put it front and center. The star is die cut out of Sahara Sand Cardstock and sponged with Copper Shimmer Paint.
The inside of the card is equally beautiful with a 3-D embellishment. For the front of the card, one could take Merry Merlot cardstock and use embossing powder to create the feel of the designer paper.
Measurements of Cardstock and Designer Paper:
Merry Merlot: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scrap for inside snowflake
Sarah Sand: (2) 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″, scraps for front snowflake
Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper: Copper scraps for snowflake centers
Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Paper (N/A): 4″ x 5-1/2 or substitute Merry Merlot and heat emboss images in copper and white embossing powder
General Instructions:
Add layers to front of card. Die cut snowflakes. Sponge Copper Shimmer Paint onto large snowflake and around edges of inside snowflake. Add copper snowflake on top as shown using a glue dot. Stamp inside of card. Add ~ 4″ of ribbon to center of card front. Add large snowflake with stampin’ dimensional. Add copper thread to back of inside snowflake and add to inside of card using dimensionals. Stamp images on envelopes.
Hi Everyone! OMGoodness I love how cute this matchbook treat holder turned out! I used up some scraps from the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Paper and these ADORBS chocolate Santas.
Here’s what the packaging looks like. You can find the candy at Walmart or Dollar Tree.
Yesterday at our team meeting, we had a treat holder shoe box swap. The Designer Paper Dolls that participated are shown below holding up their project! From left to right: Linda Bradly, Beth Bolinger, Sue Handshoe and Rita Bauman. Linda designed 3 tags that we could use on a treat or bag using the beautiful Joyous Noel Paper, Beth designed a bag from 1 sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock. Sue designed a cool blue tone snowflake tag, and Rita designed a slider treat holder.
The matchbook I made uses hardly any materials!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to November! The holidays are fast approaching so today I wanted to share with you a project featuring the Limited Time Snowflake Showcase projects by Stampin’ UP! Holy Moly – they saved a good one for this special. I’m ALL ABOUT the die set Snowfall Thinlits. I highly recommend it for one’s collection!
I LOVE gifting winter or Christmas themed notebooks now so the recipient can use all through the season. Especially if it’s a Christmas theme. Sometimes, it feels a little funny in January or February to have it out.
This was my example for my Facebook VIPs Color Challenge! My team and customers have access to this private group. The colors are just a launching point! As you can see, I did slight variations so the colors matched more closely with my notebook colors.I found these notebooks over the summer at Walmart for $1.88 each. The notebook is 8-1/2″ x 6″.
The colors layers for the polka dot notebook: (Colors of Poppy Parade, Tranquil Tide)
Poppy Parade 8″ x 5-1/4″
Tranquil Tide 7-3/4″ x 5″
Santa’s Workshop Designer Paper 7-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
The layers for the tree notebook: (Colors of Real Read, Garden Green, Pool Party)
Garden Green 7-1/4″ x 4-3/4″
Whisper White 7″ x 4-1/2″
Here’s a close-up of the large snowflake die as well as the beautiful Snowflake Trinkets. On the right sample, I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the center rhinestone!
Hi Everyone! Mini Calendars make a great gift for teachers, co-workers, friends and family. Even with all our electronic calendars, sometimes it's nice just to have one on the desk or refrigerator.
AND you can make them with either the recipient in mind or to help use up your Designer Series Paper!
Some of my local Designer Paper Dolls stop by for an express lunch meeting and we made these. As you can see from the outside, it's snowing! First of the season. Linda mentioned kinda funny we are decorating with flowers and it's winter. TRUE! but we agreed the flowers represent most of the year 🙂
You if need 24 or less – Stampin' UP! Vanilla Coaster Board works awesome! Cut to a 4"x 4" size. Or you can buy in bulk here:
Simply download, trim and staple. Tip! use printer paper so it's lightweight and tears easily. Glue the last month unto cardstock then use Tear & Tape to add to square coasters.
Or I found pre-printed 2016 online at Taylored Expressions. I see where they are now out of stock – but I'm sure there's other online sources if you don't feel like printing yourself.
Take a 4'x4" piece of Fresh Market Designer Series Paper or stamp a 4 " x 4" Very Vanilla Cardstock with the Hardwood Stamp. Round corners. Using Mutipurpose Glue, adhere to coaster board.
General Instructions for Easel Base:
Score an 8" x 4" cardstock at 4" & 6". Adhere a 3-7/8'x 3-7/8" piece of Designer Paper to the 4×4 area. Flip over and add Tear n Tape to 2×4 section as shown. Fold as shown and add coaster board design to the 2×4 adhesive area.
It's kinda a busy weekend, but I to get a video tutorial for you soon! It will be a separate post.

Either way, with tax and shipping, it's about $0.20 each. I don't have a good way to cut SU Coaster Board and Round Corners, I didn't want to take a chance ruining my trimmer or punch board. ( I'm an Amazon Prime member..I love the free shipping perk.
