Sunday Showcase

January 7, 2019January 7, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 4 Comments

Happy Sunday! I have a showcase of projects for you today! I haven’t posted much lately but, now that the holidays are behind us, I am looking forward to blogging more often! I am super excited about the offerings in the new Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration! I just found out that many of you have not received your catalogs yet! Oh my! I called Stampin’ Up! as I had them sent directly to you and it seems there has been a delay in delivery due to the holidays. They ensured me that they were sent out the week of Dec. 10th but bulk mail takes a bit longer to arrive. If you have shopped with me in the last 6 months, I sent you a catalog. Please email me and let me know if you received your catalogs or not. If your catalog has not arrived by Monday, a new one will be shipped to you! I sincerely apologize for the delay and please know that you can view the catalogs online while you wait for yours to arrive. Click on the catalog images on the right or in the drop down menu across the top. (If you are viewing this in your email, you may need to click on the blog title first to view online.) I will also include the links below.

The holidays just flew by and amid all the Christmas festivities, celebrations, and annual cookie exchange, I was busy creating! I made table favors, treat holders, cards, tags, gifts, and projects for family and friends. Most went out the door before I even had time to photograph them or blog. Here’s a few I did mange to snap a shot before I gifted.

I love the Copper Tins! I embellished with my favorite DSP and filled 16 of them with my homemade cinnamon candy! If I showed up on Christmas Eve without this candy I do believe my family would send me packing! LOL After 25 years it has become a Christmas tradition! I used the Joyous Noel DSP but you could easily use other patterns. These would be great to fill for Valentine’s Day! I layered 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 pieces of DSP on 3 x 3 Copper Foil. I was inspired by fellow Pal, Brian King Here’s a few more designs.

These tins can also be used to hold 3 x 3 note cards. Check them out in the annual catalog and leave a comment below if you have another idea what you could gift in them.

My sisters are huge Scrabble players so I made each of them family frames with old tiles. I like how it showcases our beautiful DSP. You can easily change out the paper each season. I chose DSP to match their home decor. I bet the new All My Love Designer Series Paper would look great as a background for Valentine’s Day!

I made several gift card holders for my nieces & nephews. This pop up gift card holder is really quick & easy to make. Just change the DSP for different occasions!

Every year I make calendar cards and change them up a little. The daisy punch and leaf punch made these quick & easy this year which was good because I made almost 50!

Every year I make 60-70 Christmas cards to send to family and friends. When we celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday at Universal Studios this past year, I took the opportunity to snap a family photo. I thought this sentiment from the Snow is Glistening stamp set was perfect to go with our photo!

I hope you enjoyed my “homemade holiday” showcase. If you have any questions about any of the projects feel free to email me or leave a comment below. I’m looking forward to a new year of creating fun cards and projects!

Snow is Glistening Fun Fold Card

November 2, 2018 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 24 Comments

I am excited to share with you today’s card which uses some of the limited edition products from the just released Snowflake Showcase. Stampin Up Snow is Glistening Fun Fold Christmas card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp The star of this card is the copper embossed snowflake tree from the Snow is Glistening stamp set. I may have gone a little overboard heat embossing today but I just love the look and texture of the raised images. I even heat embossed the snowflake trinket!

I love how this stamp set coordinates with the gorgeous Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. This DSP and the Merry Merlot & Copper Reversible Ribbon I used on my card are from the Joyous Noel Suite (which is one of my favorites). I love the copper foil accents.

This easel fun fold is quick & easy to create! The Sahara Sand cardstock is cut at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. I adhered a 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of DSP just below the score line. The tree is heat embossed on Merry Merlot cardstock that measures 2 1/2 x 4 and layered on Copper Foil that is 2 5/8 x 4 1/8. The layered image is adhered to the DSP only. *Don’t adhere the top portion as you want it to stand up when opened.

I wrapped the elegant ribbon around the card and tied a bow. I secured the bow at the base of the tree with a glue dot. Here’s a look at the card when it’s closed.

I love the inside of the card as much as the front! I cut the Merry die from the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies and heat embossed the greeting.

You can heat emboss sentiments in any color by simply stamping the sentiment in Versamark first, then ink, then sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder. I love to watch the magic happen with the Heat Tool. *Don’t forget to use the embossing buddy on the cardstock before you stamp to prevent the embossing powder from sticking to other areas of your card. I used Merry Merlot ink for the greetings. I wanted the snowflake to be copper so I put a glue dot on the back and used my paper piercing tool to hold it as I stamped it in the Versamark, then dipped it in the Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. The raised snowflake holds the easel card up.

I usually play around make more than one card when I’m creating and this was no exception. I decided to switch up the sentiments and try the Merry die at the bottom.

I think this card would look pretty on a mantle or side table.
