There are many choices for eclipsing…this time I layered a few extra cuts to make the numbers stand out on this busy background. This card can be used for 2019 Graduations, weddings and other congratulatory events as well. Tassels are easy to make check out this video from Stampin’UP . Although this Year of Cheer DSP is retired, the snowflake stamps make great backgrounds on glossy paper for winter cards. Any of the beautiful DSP selections also work. Use your imagination and think ahead so you have a stack of cards to use for these special occasions.
Can you believe it’s Wednesday already!!! Just popping in to give you a little glimpse of one of the cards on the buffet for Tuesday December 11th…are you registered to attend? Better hurry…do it here.
SOUTHERN SERENADE is one of those stamp sets I will use over and over. It can be used for any occasion and has that old fashioned washed out look. Here is an idea we are going to be working on. The sentiment is up to you. I love the font in this set. It lends itself to many occasions and stamps well on the front of the card, eliminating the need for a separate label. Come give it a try at the next buffet…you will be happy to go home with a card ready to send to a friend or relative.

Happy Monday in December!!! What a weekend! Meera was the reason we visited the historic Downsville Museum. We tied it in with the Dunn County Pottery Octagonal Schoolhouse with yet another bit of history from John Thomas! We beat it home before the snow and I settled in the craft room to make a few gift cards. Look at this adorable kitty that was saved in my “wanna make” file . I fell in love with her in glimmer paper. Don’ t you love her rhinestone collar? (I apologize for the “pink tone” pictures ..sometimes natural lightbulbs just don’t do it with the camera!!!)
I also made a few cards with the cardstock in the December Paper Pumpkin Kit which is so versatile- note the lovely branches which are die cut in the kit. There are also some lovely pine branches in the Night Owl Thinlits (147920) if you missed the November Christmas PP. The berries were cut from Frosted Bouquet Framelits (147895), retired Pretty Pines Thinlits and/or the Sprig Punch, then colored with Stampin’ Blends – Cherry Cobbler Dark and Color me Clover Dark.
This set of pictures shows the inside for the slot which is created on the base layer of the card. I use the long thin die on the retired Balloon Pop-up Thinlits – it makes a perfect slot every time. Then I adhere a piece of cardstock on the front side to create a stop for the gift card. Please leave a comment or question if you want to know more
Here’s is another project that was simply done with narrow note cards. A bit of DSP a simple tree, a little red bird and some twine! The little red birds are fussy cut from Botanical Thinlit Dies (146824 )

There is always a risk of products selling out without enough time to reorder and restock inventory before a catalog lifecycle is over. When this does happen, it is usually caused by a higher-than-forecasted demand. However, as we upgraded our inventory management system, there were system communication issues with the current holiday catalog and we have just determined that several products are at high risk of early depletion.
We want to share the list of products with you now so you can plan accordingly for the coming weeks. We have also indicated with an asterisk which of these products will carry over into a future catalog. Although we don’t normally share this information so early, we feel it will be useful as you update your plans for the remainder of this catalog.
These items have been identified as “low inventory”, and will not be back before the Holiday Catalog ends. But we’ve been told they will be in a future publication. We don’t know which catalog we’ll see them in again. These are not the only “carry over” items in the catalog, they are just the carry over items on this list.
We don’t know when these products will go out of stock, but it’s possible some may run out as early as next week. Watch the Inventory Status Report for inventory information on these and other products.CATALOG ITEMS NO LONGER AVAILABLE:
SANTA’S WORKSHOP CARDS YOU CAN MAKE IT BUNDLE (item 150095)
SANTA’S WORKSHOP MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK (item 147905)
SANTA’S WORKSHOP MEMORIES & MORE CARDS & ENVELOPES (item 147815)
SANTA’S WORKSHOP ENAMEL SHAPES (item 147811)
JOYOUS NOEL SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (item 147816)
FESTIVE FARMHOUSE ELEMENTS (item 147890)
WHITE VELVET SHEETS (item 149619)
This information may create an even higher demand on many of these items, but we feel it’s better to let you know now so you can adapt your plans. Also, even though the upcoming Online Extravaganza sale does not apply to holiday catalog products, it is possible the promotion will have an effect on inventory depletion (as additional non-sale items are often added to promotion orders).
We are working to fix the system communication errors to avoid similar problems in the future. Thank you for your patience.
If you’re interested in getting any of these items before there gone, you can order them in my ONLINE STORE. I provided the SKU numbers to help with ordering. Also in regards to the comment about the Online Extravaganza, it is coming next week! Deals start November 23 (Black Friday) through November 28. We won’t know anything more about this until November 20.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need some help with anything~
Have a great stampin’ weekend! Remember to send me pictures of your creative work!
Gulding – the art for covering with gold leaf….what do guilding and coffee filters have to do with each other. Well, one could say a whole lot when it comes to card-making. It was fun to watch everyone make their own coffee filter card and then see the different works of art that came from each set of hands. It was such a busy night and our photographer (Borgie) captured some of the goings on.
DIRECTIONS AND SUPPLIES:
Take a natural color coffee filter and randomly stamp the image of choice with early espresso ink. Acorns from Count My Blessings stamp, and the holly from Father Christmas worked well. Then crumpled the filter into a ball and do not smooth out the edges. The lines and creases give a faux silk look. Adhere the edges to the back side of a layer of white cardstock approximately 3 1/4 x 5″ The guilding part of the technique is achieved by using the same stamp image randomly over some of the images with VersaMark. Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and use the heat tool to bring up the guilding….less is better.
Finish this layer by sponging the edges with early espresso to give it a vintage look. mount on a piece of crumb cake 5 1/4 x 4 and on the card base of early espresso. Add a sentiment and trim with copper ribbon stretched in unique shapes.
