Peace: Scentsational Season Sweet & Simple
This card was the fav of several people at my Christmas Card Stamp A Stack this morning. They liked the clean lines and the blue/green color combination with the Christmas tree from the Scentsational Season stamp set (check out the stamp set).
The letters are from the Typeset Alphabet Bigz die set for the Big Shot (see the letters

Beautiful Season: A Chickadee Christmas
I'm in love with this little birdie! The Beautiful Season stamp set is a gorgeous line drawing set (see the full set online). I know the artwork can be a bit intimidating, especially at the thought of coloring in that bird and the branch. But the good news is that you don't have to color if you don't want to!
Here's a sample of the

Seriously Simple: Snowflake Soiree
Sometimes "simple" is what you want... here's a fun card that focuses on the stamped images. And with the new firm foam ink pads (yum, LOVE these!), the stamped images come out crisp and clean every time. With the Snowflake Soiree stamp set (see it online), the crisp images really stand out.
Plus this stamp set has 2 great greetings --

No Grandmas Harmed By These Reindeer
I know there's that song... but not to worry, these candy cane reindeer are completely grandma-friendly. Plus they're a quick project for last-minute stocking stuffers!
The reindeer are created from the Two Tags die (see it here) for the Big Shot Die Cut Machine.
Thanks to my friend Cathy Roy for the idea on this project!

Gift for the Guy Who Has Everything
**Order TODAY for delivery before Christmas! available for Snowflake Tins with or without Stampin' Up! Gift Certificates**
It's an age-old question... is it taking the 'easy' way out to get a gift card for someone? Or does it just make sense, because then they can get whatever they want?
Personally, I'm happy with either one (just so

Ack! I Need a Quick Christmas Treat!
Close your eyes (or at least squint, so you can still read my blog) and picture yourself all dressed up to go out to a Christmas party. (Go ahead, it's your imagination--add the sweater you want to buy and subtract the 15 pounds you think you need to lose.)
Wait...where's your hostess gift? Ack! Did you forget it? Okay, take a deep

A Vintage Christmas: Crochet Trim & Buttons
Last night at Stamp Club we created a Vintage Christmas Card using a great Christmas Tree Template idea.
The Christmas tree is created from a 1/2 circle of Designer Series Paper (Deck the Halls here). The circle I used is 5 1/4" (check out my Circle Cutter Video Tutorial for help cutting). Thanks to Linda Yearsley from our

Pretty Peppermints for Perfect Presents
These would make great gift tags, or use them as a small gift by themselves!
The candy holder is made from the Two Tags Big Shot Die, and the tag trick is borrowed from a tag Make N Take from the Stampin' Up! Convention several years ago.
I love the "spotlighting" technique for the words on the tag. The technique turns a relatively
