Gift Givers: A Stamp & Punch for EVERY Holiday

Heads up — get ready for Valentine’s Day! The Gift Givers stamp set (see it online) goes out with the Holiday Mini Catalog, at midnight on January 3rd (MT).  So if you’d like to add it to your stamp shelf, don’t wait.  I promise that you’ll keep this one handy all year long, since it has an image for every holiday, as well as a punch to match!

Plus cocoa is perfect all winter long — and especially as a gift with 2 packets for Valentine treats!  This was one of my Stamp Club projects from December.  We meet again on January 11th (check my calendar)

Here’s what you need to know about this project:

  • The 6 Panel Box is created from the Mini Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot.  Here’s a brief set of instructions for putting it together.  I just wrapped a piece of Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper around the top instead of folding the tops down. (yes, it’s glittery on one side!)
  • The nested hearts around the Sweetheart Treat Cup (see them online) are created with the Large Heart Punch (hole for the cup) and the NEW Framelits Dies Hearts Collection (coming January 4th in the Occasions Mini Catalog).

Here are all the SPECIALS and Limited Time Availability on the items in this project, if you’d like to get any of them on sale (up to 80% off!) or before they’re gone:

On the Clearance Rack (due to the change in body style on the punches):

And from the Holiday Mini Catalog (only until January 3rd at midnight MT):

So head on over to shop now — don’t miss out!

Happy Stamping!

Merry Milk Cartons: 6 panel gift boxes

You’ve seen the Mini Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot, right? (see it online) Did you know you can make it ‘merry’? At the Stampin’ Up! Convention last summer, they showed us how to take two of the milk carton die cut pieces, trim them to 3 panels each, then put them together.  (Here’s a shot of how that looked on stage)

I made a Christmas version of the box as my Hostess Gift at several workshops in November, using the Pines and Poinsettias stamp set (see it online) and the Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper (see it online) from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This is a great stamp set for using with Stampin’ Write Markers.  Just use the brush tip of the markers to add as many colors as you want to the stamp, then stamp onto your card stock.

The tag is created with the Decorative Label Punch, which I use ALL the time (see more ideas on my blog).

Happy Stamping!

Convention 2011: Day 2, stamping, stamping and more stamping ideas!

Want to guess how many pictures I took at Convention this year?  300?  500?  1000? Keep going: I took about 1200.  And I know demonstrators who took TWICE as many! There were so many ideas shared, and Day 2 of the Stampin’ Up! Convention started out with classes and ideas.

Here’s a great idea using the Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot to make a 6-sided box.  Donna Griffith showed this one, created by cutting two Milk Carton pieces and trimming one panel from each.

Here’s another idea, using the corner of the Decorative Label Punch to create an ornate corner for layering.

There were several more stage walks, to celebrate demonstrators for their achievements in sales, recruiting and helping the demonstrators in your group to promote, and I was excited to be honored in each category.  Here’s a shot of me walking across the stage with my stamping friend Lynsay Mahon.  Stampin’ Up! has been a great way to make some fabulous friends!

We also spend time visiting display boards and touring the displays set up by Stampin’ Up!, highlighting each of the new Product Suites in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog (debuted July 1st).  The detail and creativity astounded us!


The evening wrapped up with a “+Fun” class.  The one I selected was the My Digital Studio Hybrid Class.  We made a terrific calendar–watch for my Class & “To Go” Kit later this fall.  Drop me an email if you’d like the details when they’re ready!

One last chance to hang out until way past bedtime.  We gathered in the room of several fellow demonstrators to talk about the Holiday Mini Catalog (yay!) and all the creative ideas we could come up with for the new products!

"Here Birdie, Birdie!"

Actually, I’m not sure this would really hold up for much of a bird… we had parakeets for years, and I’ve realized that birds are actually pretty messy animals. Cardstock… bird… not a good combo.

But fortunately, it’s not hard to have a cute Designer Series Paper bird with the new Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog! What a fun punch–all three elements are actually on the same punch. So you can punch them all out at once, or if you want different colors, put strips of cardstock in and punch just the elements you want.

On my birdhouse sides, I used the Sale-A-Bration Good Neighbor stamp set (one of the free choices with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration). This is my 6-year old daughter’s new favorite stamp set. All the little roofs and trees and buildings are different pieces so you can mix and match anything you like!

The main part of the birdhouse uses the Mini Milk Carton Die, which is actually the Big Shot die featured in my February Big Shot Die of the Month Club. This sweet little birdhouse is one of the 4 projects that you’ll make when you sign up for my club.

You’ll get the Mini Milk Carton die as part of your Club fee ($42), plus you’ll receive pre-cut cardstock and embellishments ready-to-stamp along with printed directions for 4 projects. Just use whatever stamps and inks you have on hand at home, and your new Big Shot die!

If you’ve never tried one of my clubs, this is a great chance to try one out. You can even add to your Big Shot Die of the Month Club order and receive a free Sale-A-Bration stamp set of your choice! (Click here to learn more about my Big Shot Club)
