Happy Thanksgiving!! I thought I’d celebrate Thanksgiving with this fun turkey punch card I learned how to create from our Stampin’ Up! demonstrator newsletter a couple months ago! Isn’t it cute!? ;O)
My husband and I will be spending the day with our families. Lucky me won’t have to split my loyalties as my in-laws will be attending my family’s Thanksgiving celebration. I’ll be the one with the camera permanently connected to my head photographing my neices, nephews, aunts, uncles, mom, in-laws, food and any other shenanigans! I’ve even got the easy job and have to bring rolls! No cooking for me! Woo hoo! I hope all of you have a wonderful day today! May it be filled with love, laughter, gratitude and happy bellies!! )
When I first planned my Christmas Countdown class, I’d initially said I would use a wooden tray. All those plans when down the drain after the purcase of one of these trays from my local crafts store—IT DIDN’T FIT!! So, off to Plan B I went! Thank goodness for my new recruit, Anna Otten! She suggested a cookie sheet! DUH!! It’s a perfect fit, affordable and metal — great for magnetic numbers! WAHOO!!
If you’d like to make one of these for yourself, come to my class Thanksgiving weekend! While out shopping that weekend, pick up a cookie sheet and come my way at 4 pm Sat., Nov. 29! Or, if you’re too busy, just order your Christmas Countdown Class TO GO!! Purchase an additional $25 at class, or with your Class To Go and I’ll give you the Bonus Buttons magnets for FREE!!
I can’t tell you how easy this class is AND FAST!!! The class includes the Christmas Countdown Decor Elements including the numbers 1 through 25. As you can see pictured here, I easily rubbed the numbers onto some white chipboard (from the back of your Designer Series packets) and punched them out with our Wide Oval punch! What a breeze! So, if you do take your kit to go, you will need to own the wide oval punch or be willing to cut your numbers out differently.
The class includes the $14.95 Decor Element and some of our NEW! (from the Holiday Mini Catalog) 1 1/4" Riding Hood Red/Very Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon.. The cookie sheet is extra and the cute button magnets are a bonus! Hope to see you in class. You may register at http://novcountdowncalendar.eventbrite.com
It’s kinda fun showing different card designs using the same stamp set! So, I figured I’d try too do it again this week. The above sample was created for my September or October techniques class (too many classes have occured since then and have blurred my memory.) This particular card uses the "Rolling Marble" Technique and created quite the noisy ruckus during class rattling those marbles around in an empty stamp box. It’s a pretty cool technique!
This card was created for a 100 card swap I participated in earlier in August. What was I thinking dry embossing 100 cards is beyond me!! Luckily I had help with the white embossed flowers (thanks Dena!) and took the dry embossing part with me when we went to Cancun. (can’t be in that boiling sun 24/7 — we got fried the 2nd day!)
This fun project was enjoyed by my stamper friends this weekend at my Nifty Gifty Stampin’ Extravaganza. I thought it would be a great gift to take with you to Thanksgiving as a gift for a loved one. Fill it with photos of Thanksgivings past, Pumpkin Patch photos or Fall Festivals or leave it blank for them to fill in with this year’s festivities.
This project was pretty easy and only took about a half an hour in the three hour class that was filled with gifty goody projects. Most of the time was spent watercoloring a few images but some customers just opted to color at home as they were anxious to guarantee they would complete the other fantastic projects.
They were able to use the new rope twine available in the Holiday Mini Catalog along with the Ski Slope Designer Series paper.
As you can see above, I took one of the images from the stamp set and cut it to make two die cut images for the CD book.
Project Ingredients

Paper/Card Stock: Ski Slope Designer Series paper, Chocolate chip, Old Olive and Naturals White

There were a couple more pages but you get the drift! Great project and great fun!
When this project came out on several blogs a couple months ago, I was THRILED! What a creative use for an envelope die — that’s already cute all by itself with it’s scallop flap! So, when it came time to plan projects for my stamp camp held last month, I knew I’d have to include this as one of the projects!
Project Ingredients
Winter Post stamp set
Ski Slope Designer Series Paper
Chocolate Chip Card Stock
Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red ink pads
We still haven’t found a winner for the cute lil’ ol’ St. Nick punch card! We’re really close! Some of you have posted too many punches. We only need eight so guess again and repost! Some of you have just one wrong punch name or punch shape size…Ohhh..you are so close!!!
Give it another try so Santa can have a new home! )
Here’s a comparison of how one stamp set can look totally different by changing up colors, using a different technique or card layout. Above is late post from my Technique Freaks class a couple months ago using the Split Negative Technique. Below is a Flap card using the same stamp set, Eastern Blooms. Isn’t that wild?
Here’s one of the cards we made in last month’s Get Punchy! class that focused on the Scallop Circle punch! I loved how my Santa turned out.. So let’s play another fun blogging game! Eight punches were used to make Mr. Santa. Can you name all eight? If you can, I’ll slip this lil’ guy in the mail to you!
