I absolutely love the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set.  Gnomes are super popular today and are not just for Christmas. You will see them everywhere.  My future daughter-in-law found a cute gnome pillow with two gnomes connected.

It’s the middle of December and I have had a hard time deciding whether to continue with Christmas ideas or show you a sneak peek of our new Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Guess the sneak peek wins for now.  
I shot a video showing you some of the new products I have been able to pre-order as a Demonstrator.  I love having the ability to order early and get my hands on new products and start designing. If you would like to become a Demonstrator on my Team and do the same, just shoot me an e-mail at Stampfunatics@gmail.com and let’s chat.
I will show you some of the new products and some of the Sale-a-Bration products you can earn for free with a qualifying order.  If you are not familiar with Sale-a-Bration, it’s the biggest sale of Stampin’ Up!’s year.  This year is a little different.  You can earn Free products for January and February.  Then Stampin’ Up! will offer it again in the Summer.  This has never been done before.  They also said they will not run out of these products, like years past.  I am so excited! 
I also will make a card at the end of the video using some of the new products so watch for it.

I was playing around with the Gift Wrapped Bundle# 155155 and used some of the ‘Tis the Season Designer paper #153489.  I chose the paper with the bells.  Well this made me want to get out the Sounds of the Season Dies #154043.  I die cut two silver bells using the silver foil and added that to my wrapped present card.  Then I was looking for a saying for the inside of my card and found the perfect saying in Wrapped In Christmas #153481.  It reads, “Friends and Family are the truest gifts of Christmas”.  How perfect!.  Don’t you just love it when everything comes together so perfectly? I used the Red Foil to the top of my card to add shine.  I really like how it came out.  I hope you do too.

Today I am sharing a Fun Fold Christmas card using the Celebration Tidings bundle # 155201.  Yes Christmas.  It’s only 45 days till Christmas. That’s less than 2 months.  I know many of you want to get your cards stamped and ready to mail, so you can check this off your Holiday list.
This is a very easy fun fold card and won’t take much time. Don’t let it scare you.  I will have three treat ideas for you, using the bundle later in the week.  Keep a lookout. For Supplies and Instructions Read more..

I created a class for you for November using the Don’t Stop Believin’ Stamps # 153332.  This set is adorable and really captures the cuteness of Christmas.
You will make three different card designs and one treat box.  This box is special because it will include the Snowman Soup poem.  Just get the ingredients to fill the box and you have an instant gift for neighbors, teachers, family or use it as a place setting at your table.  I think this year my postman, garbage, re-cycle men, takeout servers etc. will also get one.  It’s a nice way to put a smile on their faces and spread good will and cheer during the Holidays, when things can get stressful or lonely.
If you haven’t heard of Snowman Soup, it has a poem that includes a hot cocoa pack, mini marshmallows, a peppermint stick for stirring and I throw in a couple chocolate candies too. I got most of the supplies at the Dollar store. The mini packs of marshmallows was bought at Walmart. 
You will get the poem once you have placed your order along with an e-mail with pdf tutorials for each card and the box.

I am in Christmas mode this week. I have been busy creating a cute Christmas gift box using our pre-made Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes #153069.  All you do is assemble.  I know at Christmas we are always short on time and look towards convenience.  I am using the Warm & Toasty stamps#152615 to make this fast and easy gift box.  It measures 5-7/8″ X 3-3/4″ X 1″.  It’s the perfect size for a small gift or treat.  I put in a Russel Stover Marshmallow Santa.  This would make a great stocking stuffer. For Instructions and Supplies read more…

I had some friends that gave me little gifts before I left, so I needed to make some thank you notes.  I immediately reached for my Coming Home bundle #155144.  I had not cracked it open yet, but I wanted to give them a new Home/Fall card. So I came up with this one.  We have a red Mini Cooper and even though the car is not a Cooper, it’s close enough.  
You can easily take this layout and make it a Christmas card with a few minor changes. I love this bundle.  It is so versatile.  It’s great for new home, Christmas, Fall, Halloween, Realtors, etc.
For all the supplies and directions read on.  You can see I used a few more stamp sets and dies to complete this card.
