Stamping Christmas Songs!
Winter Wonderland
Brayers roll....are you listening.
On the card... ink is glistening.
A beautiful sight... we're happy tonight,
Stamping in a winter wonderland.
In the kitchen we can build a snowman.
Then add color to his carrot nose.
You'll say: Are you finished?
I'll say: No ma'am,
I need to add some glitter to the snow.
When we stamp... ain't it thrilling.
Even when... the powders spilling.
We'll create and we'll play...the art stamper way,
Stamping in a winter wonderland.
------------------------------------------------------
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
To the hostess house we go.
O'er the streets we pass
Anxious to spend cash.
Stamps are everywhere
Making spirits bright.
Oh what fun it is to sing,
The stamping song tonight!
Stampin' Up!, Stampin' Up!,
Stampin' all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to stamp
In the good old fashion way!
Stampin' Up!, Stampin' Up!,
Stampin's here to stay!
Oh, what fun it is to stamp
All the gifts you give today!
-------------------------------------------------------
Let it Snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the inks look so delightful
So while the winter is cold and damp
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!
It doesn't take much convincing
And I've brought a tool for crimping
Choose some paper, turn up the lamp
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!
When we carefully press just right
How we smile as the image unfolds
Add some color, so bold, so bright
The result is a sight to behold.
Our projects are quickly drying
And there's new techniques for trying
So until we get finger cramps
Let us stamp! Let us stamp! Let us stamp!
------------------------------------------------
Deck the Halls
Deck the halls with foils and glitters, Fa la la lala, la la la la.
Tis the season for us stampers, Fa la la...
Don we now our inks and powders, Fa la la...
Troll the heatguns and embossers, Fa la la...
See the card stock blank before us, Fa la la...
Strike the ink and join the chorus, Fa la la...
Follow me in merry masking, Fa la la...
Join us in some Yuletide stamping, Fa la la...
Faint away with chalks and markers, Fa la la...
Hail the new, ye rubber stampers, Fa la la...
Stamp with joyous all together, Fa la la...
Heedless of the times that's passed us, Fa la la...
-------------------------------------------------------
12 Days of Christmas
On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me...
12 rubber stamps,
11 handmade papers,
10 embossing powders,
9 duel tip markers,
8 paper edger's,
7 assorted ink pads,
6 funky stickers,
5 exotic glitters,
4 brass stencils,
3 craft punches,
2 paper crimpers,
and a brand new embossing heat tool.
-------------------------------------------
Rubber Wonderland
(sing to tune of Winter Wonderland)
Rubber calls are you listening?
Glitter falls bright and glistening.
Were happy tonight, Our stampings so bright . . .
Wading through a Rubber Wonderland.
In the craft room we can stamp a snow card,
send it onits way to a friend.
They'll say did you make it?
You'll say Yeah, man and you can stamp one too, yes you can!
Later on, well conspire,
as we sit, by the fire,
to face unafraid
the mess that we made
wading through our Rubber Wonderland

Ack! It's December Already!
John and I actually got up at 3:30am on Black Friday and were at Sam's Club by 4. My old computer has been slowly dying, so I wanted to get a new one. We ended up getting 2 laptops (1 for each of us) for less than we figured we'd end up paying for a desktop. Woohoo! So I'm slowly transfering everything from the old to the new. What a chore! And with 2 computers on my desk, I don't have much room to work. I'm still working on Christmas cards!
Here's the Tip of the Week, a day late!
When you make a card, make 2- that way you have 1 to give and 1 to keep for a sample. And it's not that much more work to make 2 of each piece when you have everything out.
Happy Stamping!

More on my Tag Boxes...

Close up of the Poinsetta Box
Close up showing the front side of the tags
Close up of the back side of the tags
I'm doing a class tomorrow afternoon where a we'll be making a tag box and gift tags like the ones in the pictures above. They will make great gifts! Each box contains 24 tags (6 each of 4 designs) that are 3 layers of cardstock- stamped image on the front, colored cardstock for the middle layer, and then a slightly smaller layer of either white or vanilla on the back with "to: from:" stamped on it- and a gold or silver cord. They are packaged in a gift box that has a divider to keep the 4 designs separate, a clear slide-on cover, and a matching "belt" to hold everything together.

Stamping Tip of the Week
If you stamp something and part of it doesn’t show up, you can probably “draw” in the missing part with a marker.
Happy Stamping!

Stamping Tip of the Week
If you mount a stamp crooked, put it in the microwave for about 5 seconds. It should loosen the glue just enough for you to peel off the rubber and reposition it. Just don’t leave it in there too long!
Happy Stamping!

Clearance Rack & Stamping Tip of the Week
Stampin' Up! is launching a new section of the online store called the Clearance Rack. The purpose of the Clearance Rack is to clear out the inventory of surplus items that have been retired. Many of these retired items will be offered at a substantially reduced price.
* All products in the Clearance Rack section are retired, discontinued items. No current products will be sold in the Clearance Rack.
* Clearance Rack items are only available while supplies last. Items will be removed and new items will be posted depending on inventory levels. There is no set time for availability.
*Clearance Rack items will be listed and pictured only in the online store. No list or flyer will be posted.
* All sales of Clearance Rack items are final. No returns or exchanges will be accepted, except in the case of defective product.

When centering layers, line up opposite, diagonal corners. If your layers are cut correctly, they will be perfectly centered every time!
Happy Stamping!

Stamping Tip of the Week
It’s not a mistake, it’s a creative opportunity! Card Stock has 2 sides for a reason! You can always flip it over! Just because something doesn’t turn out exactly the way you wanted it to doesn’t mean it’s ruined. See what else you can make from it.
Happy Stamping!

Stamping Tip of the Week
To clean your Stampin’ Scrub, take the pads out, rinse them with warm water, then use a drop of dishwashing soap to lather them up and scrub with your fingers. Rinse well, and try to get as much water off as you can, then lay them flat on paper towels or a towel to dry. Some people put them in the top rack of their dishwasher, but mine curled when I tried it so I don't recommend it.
Happy Stamping!

Stamping Tip of the Week
Here's the first tip I have to share with you...
When you are done stamping, stamp on a piece of scrap paper to remove as much ink as you can, then clean your stamps on a Stampin’ Scrub sprayed with Stampin’ Mist. This will keep your scrub cleaner so you don’t have to clean it as often.
Happy Stamping!

Cards from the 6/20 Stamp-A-Stack
Scallop Circle dresses
Inspired By Nature
And Many Mower (Occasions Mini Catalog)
Fifth Avenue Floral (2008-2009 In Colors)
These are the cards everyone made at the Stamp-A-Stack on Saturday. They did 4 of each, so the first card (the dresses) used 4 different colors of Designer Series Paper (my samples used older pieces from a hostess pack). For the second card (the cat tails), all 4 were the same but had different verses. The third card (the golfer) was 2 each of Sage Shadow and Always Artichoke for the textured layer. And the fourth card (the flowers) was the same stamping for all, only the colored layer and ribbon were different- Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, and 2 Riding Hood Red. It's fun trying different styles- it was a challenge for me to do a couple of these!
