 And we played the SARAN WRAP GAME!!! I took a bunch of Stampin' Up! product and wrapped it up to look like this:

12366876_10208258895172514_510691726_n

One person rolls the dice until they get doubles while the person on their right unwraps as much as they can. Everyone got to keep what they unwrapped - it was super fun!!! I also made this for the party I hosted Saturday afternoon at our family Christmas. I picked up 10 different things from the dollar store (candy, slimy fling toys, etc.) and let the little kids play - they loved it too!

 Wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

GOR-JEE-OUS Poinsettia

DSCN0042

I know you're probably done with your Christmas cards...but I still have beautiful things to show you!!!! You could stash these ideas for next year or get a JUMP START on making your 2016 card right now? This is such a pretty card!!! These poinsettias are from the SEASON OF CHEER Designer Series Paper on page 29 of the Holiday Mini - they are a watercolor print that I just love!!! The striped paper is also from the same pack - BAM!

DSCN0043

I love unique folds and this one is so simple.  Just cut your base 11 x 4-1/4 - score at 5-1/2 and again at 2-3/4. Cut another panel for the layering on the front - easy peasy, lemon squeezie!!!!

Pretty Snowflakes

DSCN0032

This card is just so pretty - the photo just doesn't do it justice! This would make a GREAT thank you card for all the presents you are about to receive - RIGHT??? I love the use of the SPIDER WEB DOILIES that are black on one side and white on the other. 

DSCN0034

And the Soft Sky trees from the WONDERLAND stamp set are so soft...and the touch of DAZZLING DIAMONDS GLIMMER PAPER - OH MY!

DSCN0035

Here's a close up of the snowflake/Joy layer - this actually fastens the card shut when you tuck the edge under the snowflake - GENIUS RIGHT? The JOY comes from the PROJECT LIFE SEASONAL SNAPSHOT stamp set & 1" CIRCLE PUNCH and the snowflake is from the SNOW FLURRY PUNCH.

DSCN0168

Here's a really cute winter card that can be used for a Thank You or Birthday for that matter!  I received a card with this snowman from my wonderful friend Ruth Bingle in a swap and changed the greeting so I can have some cute THANK YOU'S on hand for after the Christmas season!  Isn't she ADORBS???

DSCN0167

DETAILS: 

  • I cut the bottom off the small eyes from the Owl Builder Punch and added White Gel Pen accents
  • The nose is just a sliver of Pumpkin Pie - always my GO TO for snowman noses - with a few White Gel Pen accents
  • I drew the mouth free-hand...oh my!
  • I used the 2-1/2" Circle Punch for both the black hat and her white head
  • Make sure to stamp your greeting before you run the white layer through your Big Shot on the Decorative Dots embossing folder
  • The little red flower comes from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack - with a blingie rhinestone to top it off
  • WAAA LAAA - EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZIE!

Fun Fold Pine Cones

DSCN9588

Crisp and clean...not a lot of fuss on the front. The BOOM happens when this card is opened!

DSCN9589

Here's a cool fun fold that I received in a swap - I LOVE Fun folds!  She used the Wonderland stamp set and the Woodland Embossing Folder...DID YOU KNOW that this embossing folder is retiring with our Holiday Mini Catalog -GASP!!!! Not kidding!  It's not going to be in the next catalog - it's going bye bye.

DSCN9590

To make a card like this - you simply cut two card bases and score the inside one at 5-1/2 and then fold each side in half again.  Run it through your Big Shot with the Oval Framelit in the middle to cut out the opening. SUPER EASY RIGHT???

Need a new dessert for your Thanksgiving feast?  Try this out!!!  Jaime Krause brought this to our stamping class last week and it was delicious!!!

 

No Bake Pumpkin Shortbread Bars

Ae39dd8a5fd30a9f05c98e42477758b6

 

Ingredients:

2 cups shortbread cookie crumbs, divided
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
One 15-ounc can LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin (or 1 3/4 cups)
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk
One 3.5-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups whipped topping, thawed
Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs, butter and sugar. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8 1/2 x 11-inch pan. Place the pan into the freezer while you prepare the rest of the dessert. You want the crust to firm up.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to soften up the cream cheese and mix until creamy. Mix in the sugar, then the pumpkin and sour cream until well-combined. Add in the milk and the dry pudding mix, and beat for 1 minute.
Remove the pan from the freezer and spread the pumpkin mixture evenly on top. Spread the whipped topping on next. Then sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs on top.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least a couple of hours before cutting and serving.
