A Favorite Card

This has by far been the most popular Christmas card I've done this year! The trees (Lovely as a Tree p.110, $27.95) are stamped on Stampin' Up!'s Glossy Cardstock, p.159, $5.95 (25 sheets) in VERSAMARK Ink, p.190, $7.50. Then set two ink pads side by side (Brocade Blue and Bashful Blue). Roll the Brayer p.192, $12.50 on the two ink pads at the same time (half will be light blue and half darker). Sort of move the brayer up and down to fill the empty spot in the center. Then roll the brayer on the cardstock. The VersaMark ink will RESIST the ink and the trees will show up!! It's like magic. You do have to roll the brayer several times until the blue ink evens out - don't panic if it doesn't look cute at first. Then stamp your greeting last in Night of Navy.
You can order from me anytime by email, phone, or online at http://www.jennifers.stampinup.net.

Scrapbook Pages

These cute pages use the Wide Oval Punch p.186, $15.95 to make the pumpkins. They also use the Taffy Alphabet p.149, $43.95 and the Chocolate Chip 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon p.183, $8.95 (10 yards).



Another fabric hairclip

My assistant and downline, Karrie Richie, made this one for me!! It's made from the Flower Folds die, p.201, $42.95 (cuts 4 different size flowers at one time). These flowers are also great to attach to quilts! I have this die and have bought fabric, I just need to make some of my own!

6x6 Tile Class

These decorative tiles make great gifts!
How to make: stamp with Craft Ink (p.155-157, one pad $7.50 or 12 spots $25.95), cover with Glassy Glaze Enamel (p.188, $4.75), shake off excess, cook in oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees! Easy! When I have this class, the guests can use any of my stamps and choose their own colors. These are for decoration only, they are not heat safe.

Holiday Photo Card Kit

The Holiday Photo Kit comes with enough supplies to make 12 cards and includes 12 envelopes for $19.95 (p.175). You can customize your cards - the branch image, photo border, and image with greeting are stickers you can apply anywhere you want! It comes with other stickers, too. The dots on the bottom are printed on the cardstock. The greeting was stamped by me from Christmas Greetings, p.175, $10.95 (set of 2 stamps).

Santa Bag

Check out this cute bag that looks like Santa's Suit! The tag is made from Stampin' Up!'s Exclusive Two Tags die (p.198, $21.95) plus the Scallop Circle punch.
