These little bauble ornaments are the rage now! It’s so fun to build a little scene in this 2″ circle! I found the ornaments that split in half at Michael’s. I also found snow flakes to put in there so you can shake the ornament to get the snow flying!
I colored some snow on the tree using the white gel pen.
This is how I created the scene before it was glued together with Tombow glue. After you stamp the image on the Very Vanilla card stock, trim along the ground line. Then adhere to the Pool Party circle, lining up image to the underneath one. I cut out the scalloped circle with my ecutter!
Here’s another project from my Holiday Extravaganza event! Super simple card to make! There is regular tissue paper stuffed and adhered inside the gift bags.
I will be sharing projects from the Holiday Extravaganza that took place on Saturday! Here’s a photo of the holiday bags the girls received. Inside were the projects, plus lots of Stampin’ Up products! I found the bags at Oriental Trading Company.
Here’s one of the projects, a clipboard to showcase a Christmas photo (here’s my two grandbabies!) I found the clipboards online from Pick a Plum and Joann’s.
Today is the LAST DAY of the Holiday Extravaganza Sale! Order online HERE or email me if you would like me to order for you! Don’t miss out!
I think the biggest reason I LOVE Stampin’ Up so much is the friends I have met over the years. Last night was our team Christmas party! We did something totally different this year and played BUNCO for PRIZES! There were lots of laughs, fun, friends and BONDING moments, not to mention YUMMY FOOD and BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS during our gift exchange!
Here are some photos from our evening!
Bunco tables
Here is FESTIVE Stefanie McKenitt and Sue Parker (my AWESOME WEB GAL!) posing for the camera.
One of our make and takes. Bells were made with the help of my Silhouette machine.
Artisan achiever Connie Collins came up with the candy cane idea, LOVE her ideas! I switched out the tag and used the current Ornamental Pines stamp set.
For the gift exchange I got little more help from my Silhouette machine and cut out images from White Christmas. You can see the bag in this photo.
Here’s a tag I made – I CASED Ilina Crouse. I found the ornaments at Hobby Lobby.
Here’s a little treat for those who attended our event!

The last night at FC was spent making trees and handmade ornaments for a service project. The trees will be auctioned off and the money donated. Our “Jingle Bells” group worked on ornaments for the tree in the background. Isn’t the tree beautiful?
These are the ornaments part of our group made. Wait – or are they earrings? I love to be silly at these events…..
Our last meal together was a turkey dinner. We had white elephant gifts on the table that we could steal from each other. I received cupcake toothpaste which was just fine with me! LOL
Look at this beautiful Christmas table! It went with our Home for the Holidays theme.
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.

These little snowmen made out of a tea light made the rounds last year. Becky Roberts was the first person I saw make these and I fell in love with them! The link to this project, and tutorial, can be found on her blog HERE.
I decided to turn mine into a tag, using an upcoming NEW PRODUCT in the spring catalog. The product is called a Scallop Tag Topper Punch. You can make any size tag you want! Just cut the cardstock width 2″ and slide it into the punch! The punch makes the scalloped edge and hole at the top! This punch will be available on Jan. 3.
The sweater trim is on sale on the clearance rack now HERE. I don’t think it will last long! Get it now while it’s still there! (I missed out on this last year!!!!)
Here’s the back side of the tag. I punched the hole with a 1/2″ circle punch so you can have access to the on and off switch.
I plan on adding these tags to some special gifts. As I hand them the gift I will turn the tea light on.
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.
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.
