Winter Post Peekaboo Card

Oooo La La - I had some time to play with my stamping stuff this weekend!  The new Peekaboo Frames Die is the BOMB!!!!  Remember the Halloween card HERE where I used the Peekaboo Frames for the eyes?

It's always fun to have an interactive card and opening the window to reveal MORE is just the added boost any card needs.

Winter Post is one of my favorite seasonal stamp sets - always so easy to create with it.  Here's another idea with WINTER POST.  This card fits in the Open End Envelopes that SU sells #107286.

Don't you just LOVE the Silver Glimmer Paper!!!

Here's an idea to include a photo in your holiday card:

Here are a few of the products I used:

Halloween is the LAST DAY to get the BIG SHOT, BIG DEAL Stampin' Up! special!  Makes a GREAT Christmas present for yourself!!! 1. Did you know...there's a NO-RISK "TRIAL PERIOD" when you join Stampin' Up!?  Yes - that's right! Stampin' Up! gives you till the end of your first full calendar quarter before your first order deadline (only $300). That means, when you join in October, you have at least 5 months, until March 31st, to enjoy Stampin' Up! demonstrator benefits.  Wow - that's a long time with this bargain starter kit in your hands before you "need" to do anything. 2. Did you say BARGAIN? Yes, I did! For only $175, you'll receive $440 worth of Stampin' Up! products and supplies this month...includes the $100 October 2011 Big Shot or Product Bonus with no shipping or sales tax. 3. I thought I could only get the Big Shot this month and I already have one? That's even better, because now you can purchase up to $100 in Big Shot Dies or ANY Stampin' Up! product on your wish list instead! It's YOUR CHOICE! 4. What if I don't do anything by the end of my first calendar quarter, Mar 31st? Then you simply walk away with NO consequence and you get to keep the deeply discounted & bonus products that came with your starter kit! 5. Can I get hostess benefits when I'm a demonstrator? YES, YES, YES! Any order(s) you submit that are $150 or more, will qualify for hostess benefits. PLUS - you'll receive your demonstrator discount too.

A GREAT Background!

Here's another card for my Backgounds class on Wed/Thurs - it's so much fun to make your own...doesn't it look like designer series paper? 

If you'd like to come to the class - click HERE to see the details.

I had a customer recently ask me how I kept track of which stamps go in which sets?  I like to photo copy the sticker sheet before I mount my wood stamps and tape the photocopy to the inside of the lid.  This set - Occasions Alphabet - is double mounted and a BRAND new addition to my collection!

Here's a close up - I love using the Punch Pack flowers for a WOW embellishment!

GIFT CARD HOLDER

You all know how I like cards that are a little out of the ordinary - this one is made with a cardstock base that's 12" x 3" - the perfect size to fit in our Open End Envelopes.  And the Red Glimmer Paper gives it the boost to BLING it up!

Where did that polka dot glitter paper come from?  It's part of the Holly Berry Bouquet Speciatly Designer Paper.  There's striped glitter paper too!

The new Peekaboo Frames Dies is soooo much fun!!!  It so easy to make your card interactive...so to speak!  Who doesn't want to open up a little flap to see a cute surprise inside?

Here's one of my favorites dies - the 2-Tag Die - a fabulous holder for your gift card.  Since the retirement of our Slit Punch - I've been using Mini Glue Dots to adhere gift cards to the inside of my holders.

Here are some of the products I used...you can place an order below or you can order your supplies at the stamp camp...when you place a qualifying order, you'll be entered in a drawing to win a spectacular gift basket filled with all kinds of GREAT ideas!
