Here is another quick and easy card made with the Love You Much stamp set. I cased this one from here:

More Always

I found this card at Ashley's house and had to take it to duplicate it. I finally had the time to do it this weekend. The card I borrowed was one of her first drafts with Kiwi Kiss instead of the Baja Breeze. I remember seeing it in Baja Breeze and really liked all these colors together. So that is what I used as well. I love Ashley's creations. She is so talented and creative.

Stamps: Always, Heart Felt Thanks
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette DSP
Accessories: Jumbo Eyelet, 1/4" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals, Crop-a-dile, Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Cunch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Silver Brads

Always

I was looking for ideas for a card class in January. I found this one and really like it. I don't use Sage Shadow much and decided this would be a great card to use. Then it turns out to be part of our January Card Kit of the month. Too funny. I think I will use it anyway :)

Stamps: Always
Paper: Sage Shadow, Creamy Caramel, Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow
Accessories: Silver Brads, 1/2" Circle Punch, Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Ribbon, Filigree Brad

Love You Much

I just love this card originally made by Jan Tink I think the Candy Cane DSP is my new favorite. I cannot wait until we can order it in bulk. Stampin Up is having a pre-order Love You Much special. Check out the flyer here.

Stamps: Love You Much
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Close to Cocoa, Candy Cane DSP, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch, Three Heart Punch, Word Window Punch, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Silver Brads

Love You Much Hot Chocolate Holder

I saw this on SCS made by paperball and it was one of those must try for me. It is very quick and easy. Maybe I think that because the milk cartons were not so quick that anything taking less than an three hour to complete is now quick and easy :) It is really hard to see from the picture but the three heart stamp is stamped in chocolate chip on the chocolate chip paper.

Stamps: Love You Much
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red DSP, Whisper White

Holiday Line Up

I love this set. It was one of my must haves in the new catalog. Then I saw these milk cartons on Becky's Blog and knew I had to try it. I made the first one just like Becky's and showed it to my mom. She wanted 10 of these for neighbor gifts with matching cards. I about died when she said that cause as cute as these are they are time consuming. She wanted some with each image. I saw Becky's Snowman on the UDI blog and changed up the scallop circle to save time. And then used Deer Friends on the reindeer one to save time there. If I decide to do these for gifts of some sort - it won't be till next year and I will start in July :) Thank you Becky for the inspiration. If anyone wants the tutorial you can purchase it at www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com.

Holly Jolly Christmas Tags

Becky made these adorable tags and I have been so wanting to make them. She used the Santa from the Jolliest Time of the Year. I do not have that stamp set so substituted out Holly Jolly Christmas and Punch Pals. I just love these tags.

Holly Jolly Christmas

This is a stamp set when I saw it in the catalog really had no intentions of getting it. I wasn't sure how easy it would be to use. But it was a must have for Ashley so turned into a must have to me - lol. Well it was getting closer to Christmas and I had not mounted it and had not used it and thought - I better use it this season so I mounted it and decided to use it for club this month. This is the card that we made. I can't take credit for it. I found the card on Ashley's blog and copied her design. The only thing I changed was the designer series paper and color. She used Kiwi Kiss and I used Old Olive. I love how quick and easy this card was to put together. I think I may use this for some of my Christmas Cards this year.

Stamps: Holly Jolly Christmas
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive DSP, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Kraft
Accessories: Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon

Hoping to finish them all this week. Making about 80 of them.

Using Up Old Paper

I had some gifts to wrap and thought what better way to use up some old paper that I have and to remove some of the clutter. So part of getting myself organized - I am wrapping presents in paper that has been sitting around for awhile. Need to make room for the new :) I can't wait to see what the new catty is going to bring.

Gift Bags

Accessories: White Gift Sack, 5/8" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Felt Flurries, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

I got the ideas for these from one of my Club Members Anna. She brought me one last year made with the Wintergreen DSP and the Santa stamp set in last years occasions mini catalog. I just changed the paper and stamps. They match the gift bags I made this week as well. Will psot those pictures shortly.
This is the inside. I know it is hard to see. Dark gift card on dark paper :)

Winter Post Gift Tags

I wasn't sure about the Winter Post set when I first saw it. I wasn't sure if I would get the use out of it to justify buying it. I debated and then Terry used this set in the card she made for the Holiday Extravaganza. So I decided to get it to have on hand for our make up class. Since then I started using it and am really falling in love with it. I love these gift tags. They are so simple and easy and I just love the look. I didn't order the rope twine at first either but am finding that I am using it a ton. I hope it carries forward to the next catalog.

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel
Paper: Naturals White
Accessories: Robe Twine, Brass Jumbo Eyelets, Top Note Die, Big Shot, Crop-A-Dile

Big On Christmas

I saw these cute little notebook covers on Becky's Blog and wanted to try it. This was my first and only attempt. It was not as easy as I thought, but will try a second one later. Once you get the first one down it is easier the second time around.

Ink: Basic Black and Craft Black

Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Silver Cord, Baja Breeze Double Striped Ribbon, Dimensionals, Scoring Tool

I wasn't sure how much I would use this snowflake die for the Big Shot. I wish they had one a little smaller as the sizzlets are too small for this card. I love the color combo and I do really like the card. It looks so much better in real life. Very easy to put together. Great for a card class.

Stamps: Holidays and Wishes, Spotlight on Christmas, Holiday Blitz

Candy Bar Holder

The first one of these I made was for our Halloween Stamp Camp. They are a really cute and quick way to dress up a candy bar. I was working on projects for my club this evening and decided to make one of these. They are so versatile. Just change up the designer series paper, colors, stamp and you have something for any occasion. We are also making a birthday card that was designed by Ashley. So thankful for her fabulous creations. It saved me hours in prep work this evening.

Stamps: Best Yet

Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: 5/8" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Linen Thread, Scallop Punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, crimper

Deer Friends

I made this set months ago. I really love the box and card set. This was the must have hostess set for me when the new catalog came out. Debating if I will have time to do this project as a class. I left the holdiay sayings off the card where if doing this for a class I would have a phrase station and have my customers choose the phrase they would like.

Ink: Ruby Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Ruby Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Holiday Treasures DSP

Accessories: Old Olive & Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Notecards, Dimensionals, Scallop Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, 1 1/4 Circle Punch, Scallop Edge Punch

Holiday Lineup

This is another one of those must have sets for me when the new catalog came out. I think all the characters are so fun. This card was inspired by cardinspired but wanted to change the size to be regular card size. And even though you are seeing Dazzling Diamonds on this card they are not suppose to be there. When I added adhesive to the back the Dazzling Diamonds from a previous project stuck to the cardstock. I didn't notice it until I downloaded the pictures. I'll brush them off when I get home.

Stamps: Holiday Lineup, Best Yet, Dotted Lines Wheel

Paper: Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper Whitem Chocolate Chip and Holiday Treasures DSP.

Ink: Black Stazon Black and SU Markers - Real Red, Old Olive, Blush Blossom, Creamy Caramel, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa

Season of Joy

I was so happy when I saw this stamp set in the catalog this year. This was a card idea taken from the Mini Catalog and it used the Scandanavian Season set. Loved the card but wasn't planning to get the set. Changed it out for this set and I still really like the card.

Stamps: Season of Joy, Holiday Blitz
Ink: Old Olive, Craft White, Versamark
Paper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Whisper White, Ski Slope DSP
Accessories: Kraft Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals
