 December release stamps at SP & Company:  One Two Three Stamp Set!  I decided to stamp the numbers on brown card stock and use clear embossing powder to make them slightly raised and then I cut them out!  I used 3D Squares adhesive to make the Santa and the numbers pop off the page!

I cannot believe it is only three and a half weeks til Christmas!  Where has time gone?  UGH...I am so not ready for Christmas!  Oh well...guess I better get ready!

Today is Design Team Wednesday at Scrapmaster's Paradise and I have a couple of simple Christmas cards to show you!  I had to make a whole bunch of cards for my sister to send out. 

In fact, I am still making cards, as she needed more than she originally planned. 

These are just two of many cards I am making!

This one uses the sentiment from Christmas Medley!

SP & Company Design Team Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday and Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!  Today is Design Team Wednesday at SP & Company! 

It is a busy time around the house getting ready for Thanksgiving.  I recently made over 200 Thanksgiving cards for my sister to send out for her business.  Here are just a few that I made.  They are simple without much embellishment, because they had to be sent through the mail.  I used may different pattern papers, but I used the SP & Company Stamps on many of these cards!  These sentiments came from the set called "Bold Sentiments II Holiday Set!"

Please stop by Scrapmaster's Paradise to see what the other designers have in store for you! 

 Don't forget to grab all you stamping goodies at SP & Company Store!

I hope you have a very blessed Thanksgiving!

SP & Company Design Team Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

It's Design Team Wednesday over at Scrapmaster's Paradise!

I have a cute little card today using one of our new stamps, Vintage Varsity!  I decided to make a little birthday card for a cute little girl who will be four soon!  I love polka dots, so I found the perfect paper and ribbon!  I stamped "Happy Birthday" on the background paper in the polka dots and then use the "4th" stamped by itself to emphasize what birthday it was.  I just love this new Vintage Varsity stamp set because there are so many possibilities!

SP & Company November Stamp Release!

Happy Thursday!

The SP & Company November Stamp Release is finally here! We have had some great sneak peeks, but it's time to finally reveal the stamps!

This month's color is Red! Not only does the Design Team get to play with this color, but YOU do too! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's red challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some awesome SP and Company prizes! And don't forget that the random prize patrol is watching so leave a comment on every blog each day to be eligible for the prizes!!

Today, I have made a large Christmas tag for one of my special Christmas gifts.  It is a homemade gift also, but I am still working on it and cannot reveal it at this time.  The new stamp set I am working with today is just awesome!!!  It is called Vintage Varsity and these numbers can be used for anything from sports to tags!  I decided to use the number 25 since that is Christmas day and I stamp it on light card stock six different times in offset rows.  It looks like I cut the paper down to size, but that is how I stamped it...so that the image goes off the page.  I also stamped most of it lightly to give a more distressed look and then stamped it dark, one good time.  I also used the Christmas Medley sentiment and then took an edge distresser to each layer and also added some brown and black ink.  These techniques help to make this tag more distressed and old fashion.

Tag Size:  4" x 6"

SP & Company Stamps:  Vintage Varsity(numbers), Christmas Medley(sentiment)

Card Stock:  Stampin' Up

Pattern Paper:  My Mind's Eye

Embossing Ink:  Stampin' Up Dye Soft Suede

Chalk Ink:  VersaMagic Jumbo Java, Black

Ribbon:  Michael's

Flowers/leaves:  Prima

Edge distresser:  Heidi Swapp

I hope I have inspired you to make some homemade Christmas tags!  This is a big tag and it was so much fun to make and it also looks so much better than a store bought tag and your friends and family will appreciate your handy work!
