Loving the Stamparatus® To Make Christmas Cards

Last year at this time the Stamparatus® was only a new tool on a reserved order! Remember that system when it first came out? We had to wait until the New Year to receive it and I remember thinking last year what a help it would be in making Christmas cards, especially when you are doing multiples.

This year I have it and am using it with almost every card! I’m making several different designs and maybe ten cards of each design. So many fun cards out there to make! I can stamp the inside message over and over again and have it perfect every time once the stamp is centered and lined up just right. If the image doesn’t stamp perfectly, as long as I don’t move anything, I can ink up the stamp again and re-stamp. This has come in handy over and over.

The Stamparatus also came in handy stamping die cuts. Make the die cuts you want with the Big Shot, then make one extra to have a template for the Stamparatus. Place the template in the Stamparatus and then place the die cut in the template and stamp over and over. No worries you won’t fit the greeting perfectly on the die cut.

You might not have time to receive the Stamparatus® in time for this Christmas (although there is Expedited Shipping!), but be sure to put it on your order in January during Sale-A-Bration so you can use it all year and especially next Christmas!

With the two double-sided plates and the hinges, you can have several stamps all set up on the Stamparatus to stamp multiple images on your cards and projects! Here is a post where I moved the plate down a notch each time and stamped to make a Thank You card.

Snowman Christmas Card

Leave a reply

It’s a Christmas card factory at my house this weekend and this Snowman Christmas card is a slight variation of one of my favorite Christmas cards I am making. Much earlier, I made this card. The snowman image is die cut from the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper. Some of the sheets in this package have flocking on them which you might be able to see in this photograph of the snowflake on the snowman image. The red and white striped paper strip on the side of the card also has the flocking. The snowflakes are punched from the Santa’s Signpost Framelits Dies. Unfortunately, these products are no longer available due to their popularity, but maybe you already purchased them or you can use the idea with something else you have! The greeting is from Itty Bitty Greetings, a must-have stamp set if you ask me.

I’m making 10 cards of each design I choose because there are so many fun ideas! Actually, I could probably make cards from now until next Christmas from all the ideas I’d love to make! I posted this card because I only had enough of the background paper to make 9 cards! So instead, I chose this green paper, but I like it pretty well! Also, the snowman and elf are facing a different direction.

I have to say, I am LOVING having my Stamparatus® this year to make Christmas cards!! I can set up the stamp on the Stamparatus and stamp a bunch of images one right after the other without any concern of getting the image crooked or not stamped well, etc. If you don’t own a Stamparatus, put one on your Christmas list and order it in January during Sale-A-Bration! Then you will all set for next Christmas!

Here is my original card on which I just changed the designer paper. You can easily make variations of your cards even if you don’t run out of paper!

Which card do you like best?

Rudolph The Reindeer 2-4-6-8 Gift Bag

Leave a reply

You must make this Rudolph The Reindeer 2-4-6-8 Gift Bag just for fun! It wouldn’t take you long to make several of these for favors at everyone’s place setting at Christmas dinner! You could put a few pieces of candy inside or a little gift.

Just use whatever brown cardstock you have. I used Soft Suede, but Crumb Cake would be good too! Cut the paper at 6″ x 8 1/2″. Then score at 2″, 4″, 6″ and 8″ along the long side. Turn the paper and score at 2″. Cut each of the flaps and crease on all the score lines.

Your paper will look something like this, although the measurements will be different. Same idea.

Before assembling the box, figure out which panel will be the face of the reindeer and decorate with his eyes and shiny nose. Use the Sprig Punch to punch two antlers for the reindeer. Just put a tiny bit of glue on the bottom of each sprig and glue inside the bag. The eyes are punched with the 1/2″ Circle Punch in Whisper White Cardstock. The tiny black pupils are punched with the little oval on the Detailed Trio Punch. You could also just color in the eyes with a black marker! The nose is punched with the 3/4″ Circle Punch. I had some retired Red Glimmer Paper scraps that I used.

Assemble the box using some strong adhesive, like Tear & Tape or Multipurpose Liquid Glue. If you want the bag to be closed at the top, punch two holes in the top and thread some ribbon through and tie. I used the Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon but some red ribbon would be perfect, too!

The idea for the reindeer box came about after I made the little small gift bag on yesterday’s post but I wanted the reindeer to be a little narrower. Then I remembered the 2-4-6-8 Box, an oldie but goodie! I knew it would be the right size I was looking for, but you could use any size you like.

If you wanted to leave the top open, more like a treat box, then maybe I would tie a bow with some ribbon and adhere the bow at the bottom on the reindeer.

Make a Designer Paper Small Gift Bag

Leave a reply

It’s almost time to be wrapping gifts and preparing everything for Christmas (that is if you have done your shopping already!) so here is a Small Gift Bag you can make with half a sheet of designer paper. Put a small gift inside, a gift card, or some candy treats! Easy to make and a good way to use up that designer paper you are hoarding! It might save a trip to the store to buy more wrapping paper!

To begin, cut a 12″ x 12″ piece of designer paper or card stock in half at 12″ x 6″. I used the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper. You can also make the bag out of cardstock and decorate with a piece of designer paper on the front. Score the paper at 1″, 3 3/4″, 6 1/2″ and 9 1/4″. Then turn lengthwise and score at 2″. The 2″ area will be the bottom flaps, so pay attention to the pattern on your paper. If I had scored this paper at the 2″ mark on the other side, the stockings would be upside down.

Crease all the score lines and cut the flaps as shown. Rather than just cut straight up on the score lines, I cut a little bit of an angle at each score mark. It just makes it easier to fold, in certain cases, where the bulk of that score line sometimes interferes with a smooth fold and fit. Use some strong adhesive on that side flap, like Fast Fuse, Tear & Tape, or Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Fold in the bottom flaps and adhere. Stick something down inside the bag from the top, like a Bone Folder or ruler to get the flaps to stick together.

Now depending on what you want to make, you can squeeze in on the sides a little bit to bring the top of the bag together, punch holes in the top, and tie shut with ribbon. Or use a clip on the top. If you prefer, leave the top open or even make a lid. It’s very versatile!

For this gift bag, I stamped a greeting from the Sincerely Santa Stamp Set, punched a hole in the top and tied it on the bag with the Whisper White Sheer 1/8″ Ribbon. I could have made it fancier, layered it on some Real Red Cardstock, or adhered it to the front of the bag, but I liked it fine the way it was. I did add a Red Rhinestone Jewel to the bottom of the tag. (These Red Rhinestones are discounted right now in the Online Store for the Year-End Closeout Sale!)

Try your hand at making this cute little gift bag or treat holder! It’s fun, easy and cute! Once you do it, you will be able to make them over and over again when you need a small gift bag!

Simple and Easy Labels To Love Christmas Card

Leave a reply

Time is getting short and maybe you want to make some simple and basic Christmas cards! This Simple and Easy Labels To Love Christmas Card might fit the bill! Even if you don’t have the exact paper or stamp, you can use the basic idea with what you have.

The card base is Cherry Cobbler, layered with a piece of designer paper from the All Is Bright collection. Before adhering the designer paper to the card, I wrapped around some Cherry Cobbler 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon. The greeting is stamped with the Christmas stamp in the Labels to Love Stamp Set. To make it super simple, just stamp in the Cherry Cobbler ink pad. Since I wanted green trees on it, I colored in all of the stamp with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker and the trees in Shaded Spruce. You could also stamp the whole stamp in Cherry Cobbler and then remove the ink from the trees with a Blender Pen. I cut out the stamped image along the lines so I could layer it on a punched piece of Cherry Cobbler, punched with the Everyday Label Punch.

Since the card base is a dark color, you probably will want to add a piece of Whisper White Cardstock layered inside the card for your stamped or written message. Maybe add a strip of the same designer paper inside.

Now this card is pretty basic, so if you wanted to jazz it up a bit, you might want to try adding some small punched or die cut gold stars, maybe sequins, or maybe some Red Rhinestones. Maybe just a couple rhinestones on the greeting would be enough. Just play around and see what you think!

If you shrunk this card down, in your mind, you could make a cute tag with the same basic design! Sometimes a tag is just a very small card!

Christmas Paper Roll Candy Holder Favors

Leave a reply

At Christmas time there are lots of opportunities where you might like to make some candy holders or party favors so here are two ideas for Christmas Paper Roll Candy Holder Favors. These are simple to make, especially the Santa one, and you can just use your imagination and make them however you like, no particular templates or instructions to follow.

These candy holders are made with a paper towel roll cut in half (sort of!). First I made the elf, copying a candy bar wrapper I made several years ago in THIS POST. I just wrapped the tube in Old Olive Cardstock, wrapped it in a piece of Real Red at the top with a little triangle cut out to look like short pants, and two strips of the red and white striped flocked paper from the Santa’s Workshop Designer Paper (no longer available).j You can make your own striped elf legs with Whisper White Cardstock and a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker. The shoes I just cut by hand out of a small piece of Basic Black. You could just use a rectangle shape if you wanted to. Then there is a little Old Olive belt around his shorts with a black buckle.

Here is the secret of making buckles, as on both of these favors……. cut a square of the color for the belt buckle and adhere. Then cut a smaller square of the color of the belt to center on top of the belt buckle square. That way you are not cutting slits and sliding the “belt” through the buckle or anything! Sometimes there is a punch that is suitable for the buckle.

The Santa party favor is even easier. Just wrap the tube with Real Red Cardstock. Make some “fur” on his coat. I used the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch to decorate the edges of the Whisper White strip. Maybe it is too frilly for Santa? You could also just tear the edges to look a little furry. The black buttons are punched with the 1/2″ Circle Punch. Just wrap around a black belt and make a buckle out of Gold Foil Paper or Gold Glimmer Paper. Add that center Basic Black piece to look like a belt.

Then just add some candy or treat in a cello bag or glue on a little bottom piece of cardstock at the bottom of the tube and fill with candy. Easy and fun Christmas Paper Roll Candy Holder Favors for you to make!

Decorate a Christmas Gift Bag

Leave a reply

If you have finished your Christmas shopping or at least done a lot of it (I haven’t!), you might be ready to do some Christmas wrapping. (I’m not!) It’s very easy to decorate a Christmas Gift Bag that you just happen to have around the house. If you don’t have one of the handled kraft gift bags from a store, you can also buy a package of them at a craft store and then you are all set.

It is so simple to decorate and personalize a gift bag for any occasion! I wonder why stampers just don’t do this all the time for gifts! Often the store bag will have the store logo or name printed on the front. Don’t let that stop you because you will just cover it up with paper.

For this Christmas gift bag, I chose to use the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper. Another good choice would be the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper that was brought back by Stampin’ Up! from a previous promotion. Don’t forget, there is also some Christmas paper and stamps in the Annual Catalog such as the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper. I have a layer of Real Red under the designer paper with the greenery.

I die cut the greeting with the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies using Gold Glimmer Paper. When I placed the words on the designer paper, they barely showed up with the busy background. To solve this problem, I layered the words on pieces of Real Red Cardstock and adhered these to the paper. They don’t take up so much room that you can’t see the designer paper but they do make the words stand out.

That’s all there is to it. You could also tie a bow around the handle. Make it all as fancy and pretty as you want.

Congratulations if you are farther along with your Christmas shopping than I am and ready to do the gift wrapping! Take a few minutes to decorate a shopping bag that you have and make your own gift bag!

All Is Bright Christmas Ornament Card

Leave a reply

This All Is Bright Christmas Ornament Card actually sends an ornament to the recipient! Maybe it is just a little paper ornament attached to the front of this card, but you never know! Someone might be happy to save it and hang it on their tree next year! I remember growing up we knew a couple who were very wealthy and their Christmas card always had something on it that could be saved as an ornament! It was a very expensive card!

My card is not very expensive but I think it does have a rich look to it! I turned the greeting into an ornament by leaving it unattached from the card and adhering a ribbon to it which is tucked in over the top edge of the card layer. If a person wanted to, they could tear open that top part of the card and remove the ribbon from the back…..or they could simply cut off the ribbon at the top of the card and separate it from the card like that.

The card base is Whisper White cardstock with a layer of Gold Glimmer Paper. If you want to save a bit of the glimmer paper, cut out the center portion, essentially making a frame of gold glimmer to adhere to the Whisper White card base. Just make sure you make it wide enough! Nobody will ever know! Then I layered on a piece of the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper with the pretty ornaments. On a scrap piece of Whisper White, I stamped the images from the stamp set Making Christmas Bright in Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder using the Heat Tool. This is punched out with the 2″ Circle Punch even though it is a close fit, and then layered on a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper punched out with the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch. The beautiful ribbon is the Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon. The bow is tied and attached separately and held in place with several Glue Dots.

Take a look at another card I made using this ornament pattern from the All Is Bright DSP.

If you don’t want the “free-swinging” ornament, then just tack it down with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. See if you can think of another card design that would leave the recipient with an ornament to be saved! It’s time to have fun making these special Christmas cards for friends and loved ones!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Decorations: Oldies But Goodies!

1 Reply

As I was decorating our Christmas tree and the house yesterday, I came across several of my past Stampin’ Up! creations from years past. Many of my decorations are handmade ones from all the years before I discovered stamping.

Like many of us who got into stamping, we also did and do lots of other crafts. I have wooden ornaments I painted, glass wine bottles I painted with snowmen, styrofoam ornaments covered with sequins, macrame, counted cross-stitch ornaments and small wall-hangings, Santa dolls, fabric wall-hangings, tons of stuff! Not to mention the ornaments and things my kids made through the years including a nativity made from a paper bag and stickers on popsicle sticks from pre-school!

Above you see my first Christmas sampler (that should be framed but isn’t!). Perhaps one from another holiday is framed and I intended to just change out the samplers for each holiday. People are still making samplers like this, even better, for every holiday and occasion for home decor and gifts.

These decorated ornaments were popular when I became a demonstrator. It’s just a clear glass ornament with several drops of reinker rolled around inside until the entire inside of the ornament was covered. For an added touch, I dropped some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter inside. The snowflakes on the outside I believe are rub-ons that we sold at some point.

This was once another very popular way to make an ornament! And it is FROSTY inside! Anyone who has been around Stampin’ Up! for a while recognizes Frosty! We could not believe it when they retired the Frosty Stamp Set! It was probably one of the first stamp sets I purchased from Stampin’ Up! For this ornament, we cut a window sheet in a circle with a little tab on top to fit into the ornament hole to hold it in place, stamped on it, then rolled it up small enough to put inside the ornament hole. Once inside it would open up and relatively stay in place. I added some “snow” and some gold paper strips for decoration.

These star boxes were from a Stampin’ Up! kit a few years ago, the Many Merry Stars Kit. The kit made a TON of star boxes. Some of them open with lids, others are just 3D. There are several that are VERY large. These are just three of the boxes. They could be used as gift boxes or as decorations. This post shows some of the boxes.

These ornaments were made from two different kits. The blue ornament on the left is made from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry Ornament Kit. Here is a post with a video about the kit. The ornament on the right is from the Ornamental Elegance Kit. It graced the cover of the Holiday catalog a few years ago. Here is a post about that kit.

Out of many of my Christmas decorations, this box is one of my favorites! I remember seeing it on display at one of the Stampin’ Up! conventions I attended. It was called the Christmas Keepsake Project Kit. Shelli and Sara made a video together (or maybe it was a live event, I don’t remember, that showed how to embellish the box with all the pieces and decorations. I think it stands the test of time and is still very beautiful. I think I made extras for gifts.

Think about Christmas decorations and decor items you can stamp to have as keepsakes through the years. It’s always fun to open the Christmas boxes and be reminded of all the memories our ornaments and decorations provide as we decorate for the Christmas holidays!

Making Little Paper Angels

Leave a reply

Somehow I came across a YouTube video that showed how to make these little paper angels, and I couldn’t resist trying them!

The person in the video uses origami paper, which I can see would make things a little easier since it is thin, so I thought I should try designer paper rather than cardstock. I pulled out some retired designer paper, not knowing if this attempt was going to be a success on the first try or not! But I think it turned out pretty well! I was not nearly as perfect and precise as the person in the video and there are no measurements in English. So I had to wing it!

I started with a piece of designer paper that was 5″ x 5″ and cut it in half because the angel is made with two halves glued together. My first attempt was the white angel on the right. I scored the length of that paper every 1/4″ and accordion-folded it. That’s pretty narrow, but it does make the angel look a little fuller in the end. The green angel is scored at 1/2″. After accordion-folding you have to fold down a portion to make the angel wings. That’s really the hard part because the paper is quite bulky then. But it can be done.

You could use narrow ribbon for this next part of making the angel hanger and gluing the two halves together, but in following the origami video I just cut a very narrow slice of Whisper White cardstock. You will see in the video, but make a loop for the top and then the ends get adhered between the two halves, forming the angel body. On the first angel, I also made the bow out of a very narrow strip of paper. On the second I just used ribbon.

After gluing the two halves together, you also add a dab of glue under those wings to attach them to the body. Then you can “fluff” the accordion folds to make the skirt and the wings. For this size angels, I just punched 4 “faces” with the 1″ Circle Punch. That loop that forms the hanger can be flattened out down by the angel so you can glue the angel face onto both the front and the back with the loop in between.

Maybe you have made these angels as a child. They are easy and fun to make and you can make them as fancy or plain as you like! Just a little something for the holidays to decorate a package or make as an ornament. Just have some fun trying the angels!

Here is the video I watched to learn how to make them:

Remember, today is the LAST DAY to purchase the Snowflake Showcase stamps, die, and Snowflake Trinkets!

Make a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Gift Bag

Leave a reply

I have to re-introduce one of my most popular posts on my blog, this Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Gift Bag! Every time Pinterest sends me an email about my most popular pins, this one is almost always on it! I actually made this three years ago but I put the watermark on it last year. It’s such a simple thing to make and might be just the thing you need this time of year!

You probably already have a kraft shopping bag like this one in your house somewhere, but if not, you can buy a package of them at the craft store. Then you are ready to go when you have an occasion you need a gift bag for.

This is how I made this Rudolph gift bag:

I made a great big red nose for Rudolph with the Red Glimmer Paper, punched with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. The eyes are punched with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and the 1″ Circle Punch. For the antlers, I came up with punching the tree branch with the Tree Builder Punch (the one that coordinates with the Ronald McDonald stamp set, Sprinkles of Life). I punched four branches or trees and trimmed the ends of two of them so I could glue one behind the other to look like antlers. Since they are rather delicate being so thin, I didn’t have them pop up from the top of the bag or they would probably get bent up pretty easily, so I just glued them to the top corners of the gift bag. And for a little extra color, and to resemble the candy canes, I tied on a bow with the Real Red 1/8″ Striped Ribbon.

Obviously a couple of these products are retired but I’m sure you can find something else to use!

Another year I made a smaller Rudolph gift bag with the Mini Treat Bag dies HERE. It’s just a fun and easy design to have fun with!

Take a few minutes and make this Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Gift Bag so you will be ready for the holiday gifts!

Signs of Santa Z-Fold Christmas Card

Leave a reply

This Signs of Santa Z-Fold Christmas Card is a fun card for the holidays! Z-Fold cards look so impressive, I think, yet are SO easy to make! The Signs of Santa Photopolymer Stamp Set IS still available to purchase even though most everything else in the Santa’s Workshop Suite sold out.

To make a Z-Fold card, simply make a basic card, but then score the front of the card at the center mark (2 1/8″) and fold back. Stamp a circle, square, or oval shape to adhere to the front and you’ve got it! When stamping a greeting inside, make sure it is completely hidden by whatever you put on the front.

I used the striped flocked pattern in the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper which is no longer available, but perhaps you already purchased it! Just a little bit of it on each side of the card added a little something, but not too much. If you don’t own this paper, just choose something else that matches your colors. Or skip the designer paper element!

I stamped the Santa with his list, the elf and the North Pole sign using Memento Ink and then colored in with various colors of Stampin’ Blends Markers. I LOVE these markers and doing coloring and blending with them. They are die cut with the coordinating framelit dies, which are also sold out.

Certain Stampin’ Blends Markers (plus regular Stampin’ Write Markers!) are available TODAY on the Online Extravaganza page in the Online Store. Today is the last day for the Extravaganza!

I die cut a large Whisper White circle (sponged with a little Balmy Blue) and a larger scalloped circle out of Shaded Spruce for the focal point of the card and popped up the Santa and elf with Stampin’ Dimensionals®. The little North Pole sign I just glued right to the card so it could be seen from the front or inside.

Try your hand at a Z-Fold card if you haven’t already. Any time they are fun, but even if you make a lot of them for your Christmas cards, they won’t be any more trouble than a regular card and will look like you made a masterpiece!

I did cut a circle with the Layering Circle Framelits Dies and layered that on the largest scalloped circle die of Old Olive. Then I stamped on the circle with a house and some trees plus a greeting and Santa and his sleigh (who could resist putting that on there!). The trees I stamped and then stamped again without re-inking for a few to look more like a little forest. (Also, I was covering up a little stray ink spot!) For a finishing touch, I added a little white bow with the Whisper White 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon.

Look through the stamp sets and the cardmaking kits offered on the Online Extravaganza today and see if there are any you have been wanting or “need”! Add on any other products you want as well.

What Crafting Do You Plan to Do This Thanksgiving Weekend?

Leave a reply

What crafting do you plan to do this Thanksgiving weekend?? In my wildest dreams, I plan on doing tons of papercrafting starting the day after Thanksgiving! Doesn’t it sound heavenly?! But we’ll see! There’s always…..”I’ll just do this first!”

I want to make Christmas cards, I hope to heavens my Paper Pumpkin Kit comes in the mail today because I know it has been sitting in a Houston post office somewhere for days now (Grrrr!!), make some framed projects I intended to make LAST YEAR, and then I bought all these things from a couple of craft stores!!! The question will be can I find the samples again that I liked so much! I know I should pin them to even a Secret Pinterest board, but I don’t always.

The clear plastic half balls are to make a little scene inside and then have a flat back out of cardstock or thin cardboard on the back. I don’t even know if I bought the right thing. I’ve seen some cute ornaments made out of what look like slices of a tree trunk, sometimes REAL slices from a REAL tree, so I bought these little wood things. And the other day I saw some really cute decorated wreaths that caused me to make a quick trip to the craft store and get the last box the lady could find! I don’t remember what the wreaths looked like but hopefully, I will find it again!

Whatever you have planned for Thanksgiving, I hope you will find some time for yourself to enjoy some holiday stamping and crafting! It might be impossible with the family home and all those distractions, but maybe if my husband and son put up the Christmas lights outside I can stay inside and do my own thing!

Remember there will be a Stampin’ Up! sale starting Black Friday through November 28. It will cover “most” (but not all) products in the Annual Catalog at 10% off.
