2023 Holiday Mini Preview

 

Fun Day Christmas in July

Hello and welcome! It's the last Sunday in July and the Sisters in Stamping are showing off some Christmas cards. Here is my card--

I used a super cute stamp set called Yeti to Party (#159826, $18.00), it's in the Holiday Mini, here is a picture of the full stamp set:

As you can see it contains a wide variety of images and it would make a cute Valentine, Birthday or Winter card. I have another idea for this set, I'm sure you will be seeing it again soon!

Thank you for stopping by! 

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊

 

Did you Know it's Sale-A-Bration?

That's right! It's a little bit early this year. The Sisters are showing some of the free sets that you order. Here is my card for today's Sunday Fun Day post-- 

The set I used for my card is called Counting Sheep, #156591 (free with $50 purchase), I also used a free set of dies #156600 (also free with $50 purchase).

 There is a bow behind one of the sheep, I made it with a new ribbon from the Holiday Mini catalog. It has a little sparkle in it-- can you see it?? It really makes it pop in real life.

Thank-you for coming by today-- go over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see more!

Christmas in July

It's Christmas over at the Sisters in Stamping blog! Here is my card for today--

The inside--

The cutest set from the upcoming 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog, I think! The set is called Gnome for the Holidays (#153322, $19.00). I predict that you will be seeing a lot of cards made with this set in the next couple of months.

Make sure you hop on over to the Sisters blog to see the other Christmas cards. 

Happy Stamping! Karla 😊

Snowy Thank-you

It's Wintery over at the Sisters in Stamping blog today-- that's the theme for today winter! 

Here is my card--

I used the Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog called Let it Snow (pg.20, #150393). There are 2 sheets in the pack that are filled with cute snowmen, I used the largest circle punch to punch out one of those adorable snowmen and layered him on some Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana card stock. A bit of Real Red Curly Ribbon (pg.19, #150426) -- also in the Holiday Mini! The "thanks" comes from a new word set in the main Catalog called Here's A Card (pg.15, #149438). A few snowflakes in the background and done!

Last call for the Stanpin' Up! 2019 Holiday Mini Catalog! Don't forget January 2 is the last day to order from it.

Happy Stamping! Karla 😊

Quick & Easy for Friday

Hello! It's Week 2 of the Sisters in Stamping 10 Year Blogiversary Givaway! This week we are participating in a Color Challenge-- Pineapple Punch, Basic Black, 

Whisper White and Real Red.

I went with a Christmas card... I think it turned out cute! This set is from the newly released 2019 Holiday Mini, called Birds of a Feather (#150571). I colored my little bird in with Stampin Blends.

Back to School

Hello! When I was younger I hated the saying "Back to School" -- now a days I'm loving that phrase because it means "get back to normal" and I'm all for that!!! School started here in South Dakota last Monday, they start earlier here because we generally have lots of snow days through the winter. That way they don't have to make up for lost days at the end of the school year. Here is my card for this week's Sisters in Stamping theme--

I used a new stamp set from the 2019 Holiday Mini, that will be released Sept 1st. It's called Harvest Hello's and it has a matching punch bundled with it.

Thank-you for coming by, see you next week for some more new Holiday Mini previews!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😊   

CASE'ing the Holiday Mini

Our duties this week at the Sisters in Stamping blog are to CASE a card from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Here is my card--

I used the So Santa stamp set and markers to color in my Santa. I really like everything about this set, the little Santa's are so cute and I love the font SU! used with the wording. The card I CASE'd is on page 23 of the Mini, top right hand corner. I did make some changes...I made it into a full card and I used another Santa from the set.

Hopefully we will see you next week, we're going to be doing Shaker Cards.

Happy Stamping, Karla 😉

Baby it's Cold Outside!

It's more than cold out there it's BITTER and if you live in the Midwest you know what I'm talking about! We are thinking winter over at the Sisters in Stamping blog, here is my card for today--

The stamp set, Merry little Labels and the Embossing Folder, Winter Wonder are from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Only a few more days (Jan 2, 2018) to purchase product from that Catalog.

Happy New Year & stay warm!

Karla 😊🎆

Hanging the Ornaments

I'm an ornament person, I'll admit it. Maybe I should go to Ornaments Anonymous....nah!

 As soon as I saw the Foil Snowflakes in the Holiday Mini Catalog I thought Christmas Ornament! I love giving hand made ornaments to friends and the Foil Snowflakes are so delicate and flashy they are perfect for gift giving.

Last week the Sisters in Stamping posted quick and easy party favors. I'm going to put my Snowflake Ornaments in my favor and give them to coworkers.

I used the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker to color rhinestones for the holly on my tag.

Thank-you for coming by today! Go over to take a look see at the other ornaments the

Sisters have posted. 

Happy Stamping, Karla 😉

Night of Navy French Horn

2017 Holiday Mini Favorite

The Sisters in Stamping are picking their favorite stamp sets from the newly released 2017 Holiday Mini Catalog. Here is my card--

The set I used from the Mini Catalog is called Hug in a Mug, the set comes with 32 images:

It's my favorite from the Holiday Mini because it's so versatile! Just think of all the mugs you could stamp with it.

See you next week! Karla 😉  

Halloween Spooky Hand

Well hey there! It's Debbie's turn to pick this weeks theme for the Sisters in Stamping blog her pick was Halloween Treats. Here is my project--

We did these candy hands at the last Mother Daughter Class (FAF), they were a big hit! I purchased the gloves at a big box store, they are vinyl (not latex) just in case any of my friends have allergies and I don't know of them. I filled the fingers with a roll of smarties and then the palm with tootsie rolls, gum and jaw breakers, all wrapped.

Here is a close up of the tag. I used the single Halloween stamp from the Holiday Mini called Halloween Treat. Had the girls stamp it 2 times and then paper piece the line of pumpkins and the 2 spiders.

 As always we will be back next week with some more fun things to show you! Thanks!

Happy Stamping!

Christmas Card in September

Holiday Mini Catalog?!

Yes, it's true the wonderful Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog is releasing Sept. 1, 2015 and it is full of really fun things. The Sisters in Stamping have gotten super creative and had a chance to use their new things to showcase just a little of the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Here is my card for this week's post--

The set is called Sparkly Seasons, it's a set of 15 and includes a snow globe with a base, Christmas ornament, the Jack-o-Lantern face that I used on my card-- and more!

 Very versatile, just my kinda set.

Thank-you for coming by today! Happy Stampin' Karla c(:

Friday Once Again!

Well, I hope you had a safe Halloween last night and you gathered loads of candy! I stashed a few of my favorites from the candy bowl for later....but, that's not why your here! It's Friday again (the weeks are just flying by) and it's Debbie's turn over at the Sisters blog and we are making projects using some of the super cute Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Here is my project for this week--

I used the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack, the new grey card stock called Smokey Slate (which I can't stop using) and some Coastal Cabana Ribbon to match. This cute little box was designed by Dawn O. you can see the tutorial here.

This was the Group Make & Take we made at the Fall Meeting last month, lots of fun! 

 

Have a great week and we will see you back here next Friday for some Christmas Ornaments. Until then, happy stamping!

It's Friday Again!

I can't believe that it's time for another Fabulous Friday already! The weeks are just whizzing by at a break neck speed. It's Debbie's turn over at the Sisters in Stamping blog and we are making Fall themed projects. Here is mine for this week--

I used the NEW 1 1/4" Burlap ribbon (Item #132140, $7.95) from the 2013 Holiday Mini Catalog to make my roses. To make the rose I made a knot in the end of the ribbon and then twisted the ribbon around the knot. Once I had it to the size I wanted, I squeezed a puddle of hot glued onto the middle of the Silicon Craft Sheet (Item#127853, $5.95) and set the rose into it...making sure that the rough ends were in the hot glue. 

Here is a close up picture of the ribbon roses.

 

Thank-you for coming by today, see you next week for some Washi Tape ideas.

 

Happy Stamping! Karla c(: 

Thanksgiving for Friday

November is here (already!) and over at the Sisters in Stamping blog we are showcasing some Thanksgiving decor and cards for you this week. Here is my project for this week--

 

This little paper pumpkin turned out way too cute! I used the BigShot to emboss some Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (pg.189, #117335) and then cut it into 3/4" strips. Punch a hole on each end of the strip, and thread them onto some Soft Suede ribbon.

I knotted the ribbon onto it's self to create the stem. Added an Old Olive leaf cut from the Bigz Die Autumn Accents (Holiday Mini Catalog pg.33, #127812). Lastly I cut small thin strips of the same card stock and curled them with my bone folder.

Thank-you for coming by today. Next week the Sisters will be making projects with Glimmer Paper. Hope you can stop on by!

Happy stamping! Karla c(:
