My friend Becky Strater made these adorable Gift Card holders as a twist on our Stamp Club project from earlier this month (the Punch Art Elf). I loved them so much that I wanted to share them with you. I know Christmas is over, but so (almost!) is the Holiday Catalog. TODAY is the last day to order!
So if you love these little trees,

Elf on the Shelf: Punch Art for Gift Cards
Do you have an Elf on the Shelf at your house? Our elf is named Freddyting, and the kids love to check out his daily adventures. So this year I decided to create some Elf on the Shelf gift card holders using the Two Tags Die (see it online - 115954) and my Stampin' Up! punches.
The gift card holder itself is simple:

Owl Occasions Vellum Gift Card Holder
What? Owl Occasions? But there's no owl here!
That's right -- there are so many stamps in this set that you don't actually need to use the owl every time :) (see the full set online) This is a gift card holder that I created for my Stamps in the Mail Club last month, using just the balloon from Owl Occasions and the "Celebrate!" from

If Stamping is Fun, then Stamping with Chocolate is BETTER
When I go to someone's home for a Stampin' Up! party, I often plan two projects to share -- a quick & easy card, and a project using chocolate. Because stamping is fun, but stamping with CHOCOLATE is better! I have a number of "candy projects" in past blog posts, and here is another, using the Two Tags Die for the Big Shot. (see it

Grab Your Backpack, It’s Time for School
I don't know about your house, but for some kids there are a variety of places to go after school -- home by bus, picked up by car, off to Girl Scouts... and for a kindergartener or even a 2nd grader, that can be a lot to remember. So this year my neighbor remembered the Car Tags I'd made for my daughter when she was younger, and asked

Sunny Garden Quick Gift: Two Tags and Beautiful Wings
Yesterday I shared a Matchbox Die project using the retiring Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper (see it online). Today I have another Sunny Garden project--only even simpler.
All I did was use a Stampin' Up! Medium Cello Bag, fill it with a few Lifesavers candies, then wrap it with a strip of the Sunny Garden DSP. This is a terrific

Springtime Vintage Thank You Gift
Each year we hold a large demonstrator training event called Spring Into Stamping. This year was our 6th annual event, and I wanted to share a few highlights. Except now I'm having trouble distilling the event into just a few highlights, so I think you'll be seeing highlights over the next few days!
It takes many many demonstrators to
