I’m so excited to share with you the projects from the Holiday Extravaganza! I’m so sorry I am a little late in posting these, my time was occupied with these two little munchkins, who arrived 7 days apart. These are my brand new grandkids, Stella Rae and Elias Daniel. LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH!
I’ll start out with our first project. This was a gift bag the ladies made so they could put all their projects inside when they were done with them. The gals got a stack of the beautiful Trim the Tree DSP in their packets so they could make their legs out of any color they wanted. Stay tuned for MORE PROJECTS!
There’s a new product coming out next month called the Gift Box Punch Board! You can make many different sized boxes with it, and it’s so much fun! Here is a small box (2″ square) that my team made tonight at our weSTAMP get together. (I know it’s a little early for Holidays but I couldn’t resist!)
There is also some new holiday cardstock coming out that is VERY STURDY and perfect for making these boxes! You are going to LOVE the Holiday Catty! You can order from it on Aug. 28th.
Here’s one of the Christmas cards I sent this year! My downline, Dawn Caraway, made one like this last year and and I knew I wanted to use this idea (even though this stamp set and framelit is retired, BOOHOO!)
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
That Becky Roberts never stops with her creative ideas! She created these adorable Santa’s! You can find her awesome tutorial HERE. I made a gift card holder to go with them and gave them as Christmas gifts this year.
Look at the deals this week!! WOWZERS! Stock up for next year!
I was perusing Pinterest one day and saw Michelle Surette do a “play on words” with the stamp set Merry Little Christmas. It says, “Have your ELF a Merry Little Christmas”. I loved that idea! You can see her project HERE. I came up with a card and/or gift tag using that same word play – to go with the elf feet I recently posted HERE.
We made this card in Stamp Club this month! This products were from the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card kit. Here’s a photo of how I made the elf feet. It is like a mini version of the Top Note die, but these are made with the Curly Label Punch.

We did a gift exchange at our weSTAMP Christmas party and this is what I came up with. I bought the frame at Hobby Lobby this summer. I wish I would have taken a photo of it before! It was light wood and had tin Hawaiian decorations on it!! I stained the wood darker with Stampin’ Up ink and sponges and took off the tin.
Do do the lettering I made a stencil with my Cameo Silhouette machine and filled in with chalk, then removed the vinyl. LOVE that machine!
This is my “go to” treat this Christmas! These are SO YUMMY! There’s only 4 ingredients! Peppermint oreos, cream cheese, white almond bark, and crushed candy canes! (You can buy the candy canes already crushed at Walmart!) Here’s the recipe link HERE.
Here’s a HO HO HO banner that I made for a door prize at our weSTAMP get together.
I prefer to use the sponge daubers when sponging the banner. The spritzing method recommended didn’t come out very well. The ink ran under the stencil.
Rusty jingle bells are from Hobby Lobby.

Some days I crave sweets so much this is what I feel like doing!
Here’s one of the make and takes from our weSTAMP Christmas party. I LOVE all forms of these legs that can really brighten up a party! I have done witch legs in the past HERE.
To create the elf feet, I just used the Top Note die and cut it equally into 4ths (one Top Note die will make 2 pairs of feet).
Punch the top of the shoes using the XL Oval for the larger punch, and the 3/4″ Circle for the smaller punch. Tape them together.
The ends have popsicle sticks that aren’t covered in DSP.
I forgot to post this card – it was for a Control Freak swap a couple of months ago. It is similar to some of the other file folder cards I have done.
In this one, I added Santa’s paper list to extend over the polaroid frame. I did this by stamping the list again and cutting it out. I folded about 1/4″ down and tucked that inside the frame.
Did you see Catherine Pooler’s card HERE? She was my inspiration!! Loved her simple Santa card.
Here’s my version. I used Whisper White on one and Very Vanilla on the other. This card would be easy to mass produce!
Here’s my treats for my Stamp A Stack this week. Of course I found the idea on Pinterest! My sweet friend Christine gave me the wobbing elf. (It is powered by solar). She found it at the dollar store. 🙂 THANKS CHRISTINE!
