It’s time for the end of year products sale opportunity.  Stampin’ Up! has released their year-end close-out sale.  The sale consists of retiring products and surplus products.  Some products are from the holiday catalog and others are from our annual catalog.  You can shop my online store and download the flyer below.  These products are all on sale while supplies last so please don’t wait to get what you want. 

We also have a flyer you can download below to print out and keep.  This will make it much easier to keep track of what is on sale and what you want.  There really is so much to choose from. Please remember, bundles only last during the catalog time that the products are first introduced. After that catalog’s period of time is over, the products might carry over but the bundle pricing does not.  Please let me know if you have any questions about the sale or any of the products and happy shopping!

Simple Christmas Wreath

This simple Christmas wreath was created using the Wishing You Well stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  Notice how  beautiful the wreath is with some Red Rhinestone Jewels and the Red Ribbon.  It creates the perfect message and is also a traditional look for the holidays.

Candy Cane Season

To me the holidays are also Candy Cane Season.  You can walk almost anywhere and always see a candy cane.  If you don’t see the actual candy, you see the pattern everywhere you go.  So this season, close your eyes and watch the candy canes dance in your heads.  I love this card because it is the essence of Christmas with all the colors and patterns.

Take a look at the bow up close and see how beautiful it is.  You can get the stamp set and All The Presents Thinlits in a bundle and save 10%.

Card Stock – Whisper White (100730)
Stamp Pads – Staz-On Black (101406); Real Red (147084)

Gold Glimmer Paper- approx. 4” x 2 ½”
Window Sheet- approx. 4” x 2 ½”

Instructions:
  • Stamp your two bow pieces on the window sheet using Staz-On black ink. Keep your hand steady because it’s slippery- or use your Stamparatus to get a good stamped image.
  • Flip them over and color with your Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend and set aside to let it dry. The coloring will look streaky but once you add the glimmer paper under it, it won’t show.
  • Use the Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape in the polka dot print over each of the gold stripes on your bag. Just cut the ends with your paper snips and rub your finger over the tape to the ends of the bag to make sure it sticks well.
  • Stamp your To: From: sentiment in the middle of your Whisper White tag.
  • Die cut the border using the die from All the Presents die set in Gold Foil Paper. Adhere that border to the bottom of the tag using liquid glue. Snip ends with paper snips to be even with the tag.
  • Die cut both bows on the window sheet and one of each of the bows from the Gold Glimmer Paper. Then, attach the small window sheet bow (stamped side up) to the small glimmer paper blow using glue dots. The glue dots will be invisible. Do the same for the bigger bow. Attach the small bow to the bigger bow with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • Attach the bow combo to the top of the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals and attach the tag to your 3D Gift Bag.
