Hand Stamped Gift Idea: Card Holder

November 1, 2011 By Karen 1 Comment

Its November and time to get started on making Christmas gifts. One of my favorite gifts to give is hand stamped cards. Surprise, surprise!!!

Cards are a gift that anyone can use. They don't need to be put on display and its a gift that keeps on giving……..first to the person you give them to and then to the person they give them to! How fun is it to receive personal mail instead of, or in addition to, an email message. We as stampers are doing our part to keep the US Postal Service in business!

Of course, tying up a set of cards in a pretty ribbon always works, but to make a gift of cards even more special, today we are making a card holder. After all, we are all about presentation! The details of how to make this are in the video below.

Fun Flowers Bigz L Die p.221 #121812 $32.95

Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder p.219 #120175 $7.95

At the Christmas Lodge there is an old fashioned Christmas tree. Doesn’t this card make you think of past Christmases?

Did you know you can turn the rhinestones any color you want them to be? Simply use a Sharpie permanent marker in the color of your choice! I used only red on this card, but you could do a variety of other colors as well. Watch the video below to see more.

Why I Love My Big Shot and SU! Bigz Dies

October 25, 2011 By Karen Leave a Comment

Why do I love my Big Shot? Let me count the ways…..

1. All the little boxes……… to make gifts, wedding or party favors (for friends or for pay), and so much more.

2. So easy to use – no figuring anything out, no electricity…just roll the handle.

3. Textures and designs to make any paper or card stock extra pizzazz.

4. Never ending ideas to use it in my crafts.

5. Cuts eight layers of cotton for my quilting projects – and they are all the same size! (unlike when I cut by hand and then try to line up the seams)

6. Works with many other materials which I have left to try.

7. "Can't wait to see what SU! comes out next to try with my Big Shot" factor.

I'm sure I've only scratched the surface, but you can tell I love my Big Shot. I use it every day that I am stamping. Do you have yours yet? Do you know you can get it for FREE this month? Purchase the Demonstrator Starter Kit and you will receive the Big Shot FREE! Join through my link and I will send you many samples of what you can make…..but hurray, this offer is only good for this month so click here now.

And now, for a great tip on making your Bigz Dies easier to work with:

Please call (612-929-1277) or email me if you have any questions. I would love to talk with you.

12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas

October 21, 2011 By Karen Leave a Comment

Welcome to my first video at the bottom of this post!

This is the first of 12 special Christmas projects I have created! To receive the other 11, fill in the opt in box on the right. Only subscribers will receive the other 11! Some will be PDF, some videos….but all will relate to Christmas gifts, cards, tags or other projects! You will enjoy them! Pass this information on to a friend as well!

Wouldn't this be pretty hanging on a tree or a shelf hook? Tim and I have five kids and every Christmas we choose a gift to make that could be placed in a basket by the front door or hung on the tree. We make many of them and during December, each guest that comes into our home is given a gift to take home! I felt that focusing as much on "giving" as we possible could, we could help our kids experience more of the real meaning of Christmas.

There is a video below that will show how to make this as well as directions. Remember that this is my first video. I know I need to work on plenty of things (like keeping the project in the camera sight!) so please bear with me as I learn and improve!

This could be made with cardstock or designer series paper. I chose to use the Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Fabric to make it a sturdy and long-lasting ornament.

1. Using the Anywhere Glue Stick (p.206), attach the fabric to the cardboard end paper that comes with the designer series paper packs.

2. Run through the Big Shot with the Petal Cone Bigz L Die (p.221)

3. Cut off the top flaps and glue the sides of the cones together to create a 4-sided cone.

4. Put 2 rows of Sticky Strip (p. 206) across the top. Pull off the lower strip and attach Victoria Lace (p.194), pleating it as you go along.

5. Remove the upper strip and attach Quilted Satin Ribbon (mini p.30). Use that also for the handle and its finished!!!

If you enjoyed this project, remember to click on the optin box so you will receive the other 11!

Thanks,
