O Christmas Tree Pop-Up Sizzix Die :)

Definitely NOT a 10-minute card, but really is not that hard to do. I truly love this die... it really folds and pops up each and every time!

The card above was one I received in the mail... don't you love receiving handmade cards in the mail!?! It does not have to be one that takes time like this one. Send a card to someone TODAY!

SUPPLIES:

Stamps:  Grateful Greetings*, Serene Snowflakes*

Paper:  Handsome Hunter, Real Red, Whisper White

This die is currently in our Holiday Mini Catalog. It takes a little time on your first one you put together, but it really is a cool pop-up card! I can help you make your pop-up tree for your upcoming cards :)

This is another O Christmas Tree pop-up card I made in a demonstrator class. Love it, too! You can also decorate the trees as seen in our Holiday Mini Catalog, using a C@@L Tree Decorations Sizzlets Die* or simply adding some Silver or Gold Stretch Cord.

This card is a 5-7/16" square card, which would go in our envelopes Item #107289 that is a 5-1/2" square that should not require any extra postage due.

Winter Post (Workshop of December, 2009)

Yet another 10-minute card! Very quick and easy! I wanted the "Merry Christmas" to "pop" and not use another ink, so I "stamped-off" when stamping the snowflakes for the background.

SUPPLIES:

Stamps:  Snow Swirled, Winter Post, Holidays & Wishes (retired)

Paper:  Real Red, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Soft Suede

Misc.:  Soft Suede 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon

Don't forget, when using darker card stock for the base of your card, you can always add another piece of Very Vanilla on the inside to write your note or to add a greeting.

Ornament Punch - Delightful Decorations (Workshop of November, 2009)

Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays! No matter how you celebrate, I hope it was a happy and safe occasion :)  I must apologize that I have not been able to post as much as I would like to have this month -- it was much busier than I had planned on. These holidays can certainly keep us busy and hopping. But, it also did not help when I was putting the last of my decorations out early on Sunday, the 20th, and my right shoulder popped out of socket... Ouch! My husband made it home from work at 8:05 am and after all efforts to get it back in place on my own, I had to give in and take a trip to the emergency room where they did have to knock me out and did get it back in place. Whew! At any rate, I am doing much better now and do not have to take any pain medicine... Yay! I am hoping to post every day this week -- mostly Christmas cards I have made or received these past few weeks. Keep in mind... there are just a few days left to order from our Holiday Mini Catalog which ends on Monday, January 4th, 2010. Hurry! If you want to order anything from this mini, I must have orders no later than 12:00 Noon on 1-4-10 or feel free to Shop Online at my Stampin' Up! website :)

This is definitely a 10-minute Christmas card. I have a lot of stampers say they do not want to make their own Christmas cards due to not enough time. Trust me, this card takes 10-minutes from time to start cutting to the end. You could easily make several cards, using this card sample, in an afternoon.

SUPPLIES:

Stamps:  Delightful Decorations, Holidays & Wishes (retired)

Paper:  Garden Green, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Merry Moments DSP

Ink:  Old Olive, Basic Black (or Chocolate Chip)

Misc.:  Ornament Punch, Real Red Brads, Silver Stretch Cord

I love My Digital Studio. I cased this first card from one of the many samples in the program. Then... I got to thinking how to make use of those wonderful hanging ornaments and came up with the card below :)

Don't you love it, too?  This was an easy way to make sure many of our friends and family did receive a picture in their Christmas greeting, along with my usual newsletter to them, too.
