Hello, and welcome to the blog tour! It is a brand new year, so we are featuring brand new products from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog for this month.
If you have not yet seen the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog, hold onto your hats! Wowza -- so many cute stamp sets and bundles (14 in all!) in the Occasions Catalog. It was so easy for me to get lots of FREE Sale-A-Bration items with my order! Yep -- You get to select a FREE Sale-A-Bration item with each $50 order you place (before tax and shipping). And, if your order totals $250 or more, you get and extra $25 in Stampin' Rewards.
One of my favorite Bundles in the Occasions Catalog is the Party With Cake stamp set and the Party Pop-Ups Thinlits Dies on page 7.
My project this month is the pop-up birthday card we made today at Stamp Club:

My project this month is the pop-up birthday card we made today at Stamp Club:

| Front of card |

| Inside of card |

| Top view of card |
This is a fun pop-up card! This card uses two pieces of Whisper White cardstock cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 -- one for the card base, and one for the inside pop-up.
We used the "Hip Hip Hooray" Thinlit Die on a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and scored at 4 1/4 inches. The die has "pointers" on it to help you properly align it on the fold. (Helpful hint: place a piece of waxed paper between the cardstock and die for easy removal of the die.)
I wanted to place a piece of the fabulous It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack behind the pop-up to accentuate the pop-up.
 |
| It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack #140552 $26.00 for 48 sheets |
I chose the paper with the candles on it to make the Whisper White cardstock really pop! Just cut a piece of designer series paper at
4 1/2 x 3 1/2 and score it at 2 1/4. Use SNAIL to adhere it to the center of the base card, making sure you line up the score lines.
Next, use SNAIL to adhere the Pop-Up card to the base card, making sure you only add SNAIL to the outside edges of the Pop-Up card.
We finished off the card front with a layer of Basic Black cardstock, and then a layer of Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
 |
| Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #140592 $7.50 |
We used Silver Glimmer Paper to cut the birthday cake from the Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. Simply snip off the extra pieces, then use a 2-Way Glue Pen to adhere it to the embossed Whisper White layer. A little bow with the Melon Mambo from the Baker's Twine Combo Pack was attached to the base of the cake stand with a glue dot. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach this layered piece to the card front. I am not going to lie -- this card is a little heavy, and it would probably require extra postage. :-) The Stamp Club ladies loved it, and I hope you did, too.
Of course, it is Sale-A-Bration, and that means FREE products for each $50 order (before tax & shipping). Here is one of the cards from my Sale-A-Bration Open House:
 |
| Flowering Fields Wood-mount #141300 FREE Clear-mount #141303 FREE |
These flowers were stamped with StazOn Black ink and colored with Blender Pens and our Classic Ink Pads. You can stamp these flowers in any order you want! Each combination gives you a different look, but all are beautiful. The Whisper White card stock is layered onto Basic Black card stock. The Basic Black card stock is attached to the Pool Party card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Last-Minute Holiday Ideas from the RemARKable Stampers
Are you a "Last-Minute Lucy?" I know I am, although I am trying to change this. :-) It is a busy time of the year, but there is always time for creating! So, this month's theme for the RemARKable Stampers blog tour is "Last-Minute Holiday Ideas."
The first project is a cute little ornament you can hang on the tree or use as decoration on a gift. I just love this little penguin from the Snow Place stamp set, and I am so happy this stamp set and the coordinating framelits are going to carry over! Yippee!!! I dressed him in a Real Red scarf and earmuffs to keep him warm in the snow. Isn't he just the cutest?
I wanted to make a card that could be used for either Christmas or Hanukkah, and this "Peace on Earth" card fills the bill. The Holly Jolly Greetings Stamp Set, Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies, and the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits Dies are all carrying over as well. Yippee! The sparkle from the silver glimmer paper ornament is hard to capture. It is beautiful!
So, I hope you have enjoyed these projects. I can't wait to see what Missy has created for us this month! Just click on the icon below or click on this link: http://

The next project is quick and easy! This ornament is made with strips of our gorgeous Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum -- on sale now for only $7.70!
 |
| Oh, What Fun Stamp Set #140386 $21.00 Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum #139597 |
I cut 1/2" strips of the red striped designer series paper and curled them with the bone folder. My ornaments are "snap-together" ornaments, so I simply filled an ornament with some curled strips of paper and snapped it together. I stamped the greeting with Real Red ink, and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch. I pierced a hole in the top corner, then threaded some Silver Cording Trim through it and tied it to the top of the ornament.
(UPDATE: I purchased my plastic, fillable Christmas balls from Amazon. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Naice-Christmas-Ornament-Plastic-Fillable/dp/B013I3E38U/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1449802949&sr=1-7&keywords=plastic+christmas+ornaments)
My final project gives you a little sneak peek of a new product that you can find in the new Occasions Catalog that launches on January 5, 2016. I love the new World Traveler Textured Impressions Embossing Folder! Demonstrators can pre-order new products before the general public, and this was the first item on my pre-order list!

Bundle Up For The Holidays!
The Holiday Catalog has so many wonderful bundles, and we are going to be featuring projects created with these bundles. I have had a few sessions of my Holiday Stamp-A-Stack, and I am excited to share this card with you! This cards wins the award for the "sparkliest" card of the bunch! LOL
Lots of bling on this card, right? Silver Glimmer Paper, rhinestones, and the beautiful Winter Wonderland embellishments....oh, so sparkly!
Here is a close-up of all the details:
This card was made with the Flurry of Wishes Bundle from the Holiday Mini Catalog. The Bundle contains the Flurry of Wishes photopolymer stamp set and the Snow Flurry Punch.
The Snow Flurry Punch coordinates with the two small snowflakes in the stamp set. And, the Flower Medallion Punch coordinates with the large snowflake.
We used Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate, and Pool Party ink for this card. Each snowflake was layered onto a Silver Glimmer Paper snowflake with a Stampin' Dimensional, and then attached to the card front. The large snowflake was embellished with a Winter Wonderland embellishment, and the medium and small snowflakes were embellished with medium and small rhinestones.
I hope you like this card! It was a fun card to make, and the ladies really enjoyed making it.
Now, it is time to move on to see what Missy has for us this month. I am sure it will be RemARKable! Just click on the icon below:

Ho! Ho! Ho! Busy, busy, busy!
I have been cutting and embossing paper like a fool lately! It is Holiday Stamp-A-Stack time, and I have been very busy prepping for these fun events. My customers have enjoyed making 20 cards at these events, and I have one more on the books for November 21. I designed 5 different cards, and each person makes 4 each of the 5 designs plus envelopes. It has been a lot of fun!
This week, I would like to share the cards with you. Hopefully, you will find some inspiration for your holiday cards. So, without further ado, here is the first card:
The Red Foil Sheets are paired with Silver Glimmer Paper for a beautiful, sparkly card! It is hard to capture the sparkle with my camera, but this card is simply stunning. Here is a close-up:
The front of the card is embossed with the Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions Embossing folder to frame the ornament. The word "merry" is cut with the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies. These dies also contain the words "peace" and "jolly."
I used my Delicate Ornaments Thinlits Dies to cut the Silver Glimmer Paper solid ornament and the Red Foil detail ornament. I glued the two together and added a Silver Glimmer Paper ornament hanger (also a part of the thinlits dies) and a silver cording bow to complete the look. Of course, I had to use Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the ornament to the card front. (You know how I love to use Stampin' Dimensionals!)
I am so lucky to have such great stamping friends! Here are some photos from the Holiday Stamp-A-Stack sessions:
And, here is my scrap pile from making the ornaments! LOL
Happy Stamping,
Here is a supply list for this project:
