Wow today's blog post is full of good stuff! Check out this super cute FREE download in my online store, I LOVE IT! "even naughty people deserve something nice" hehehe. More on this below.

As I type this, Stampin' Up!'s Sara Douglass will be making an appearance on NBC's TODAY Show on November 29 (today) to donate $300,000 in paper crafting supplies to the 19th Annual TODAY Sh ow Holiday Toy & Gift Drive.
VIDEO: Bloopers & Stamp Fails 2012 – Part II The Holiday Edition
November 26, 2012 by
Ho-ho-hooooouch - it's the Holiday Edition of my video bloopers and stamp fails! I'm not sure what it says about me that I have another blooper edition so soon, except that I make a LOT of boo-boos. Holiday crafting gone wrong, and oh so funny!
In this edition you get to meet my dog, Flash. He's a star, or so he thinks. What rating do "naked rhinestones" bring us too? Or how about the infamous "sticky strip fail?!?!" I'm sure some of you can relate to that one. Hope you enjoy this compilation of silliness and stamping blunders.CARD: Open Sleigh – Part I
November 26, 2012 by
Every time I see the Open Sleigh stamp set, I just want to sing "Dashing through the snow..." lol. And it's such a pretty, classic set. This is a super fun technique using chipboard and the Big Shot impressions folder dies. You can see a video tutorial on this technique here >CARD: Punch Santa, I mean Santa from Punches
November 23, 2012 by
Happy "Black Friday" to all! Black Friday is that crazy day when "some" of us get up at midnight, stand in line in the freezing cold and shop! It's a tradition my mom would say hehehe. Me, I like to sleep in, go to the computer and shop online in my jammies. I know I may miss out on that $10 flat screen tv that my uncle brings home each season, but somehow I survive lol. This card and post goes out to all of my crazy stamping "Santas" who are off enjoying the shopping tradition today.
I called him "Punch Santa"...but then after re-reading it sounded a little violent, so I'll change it to "Santa from Punches". Maybe by the end of the day some of you shoppers may prefer the first? hahahaha. I'll post some of his punches and info below.VIDEO TUTORIAL: No Peeking Gift Card Holder
November 20, 2012 by
Today's video tutorial is just the stinkin' cutest gift card holder idea EVER! Check out how cute Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is with his scarf tied over his eyes so he can't "peek". I LOVE IT! It is also a quick and easy gift card holder, and is the size of a standard card, perfect for mailing in the Stampin' Up! medium size envelope.
This idea is from my friend Cindy Baughman, from Hawaii (lucky duck).CARD: Watercolor Winter on vellum
November 20, 2012 by
The Watercolor Winter stamp set in the 2012 Holiday Mini catalog is just a stunning set. Everything seems to turn out gorgeous with it. Today's card is no exception. The holly outline image of the set was embossed in gold on vellum card stock. The back of the card stock was color with the coordinating Stampin' Write markers. Then the vellum is layered over very vanilla card stock. The effect is stunning (even more in person). I'll post more product details below.Big Shot Die Cut Machine Catalog & Video

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Evergreen Shimmer Card
November 13, 2012 by
This beautiful card is the design of my friend Selene Kempton. It is one of those cards that make you *gasp* out loud when you see it, which is exactly what I did lol. And she was sweet enough to give one to me. The picture is nice, but doesn't do the sparkle and "wow" factor justice. In person it shines, quite literally. Using the Evergreen stamp set from the 2012 Holiday "not so mini" catalog and some other fun accessories.
Check out today's video tutorial to see how to create this shimmery master piece. You can have some fun watching me create a "new technique" when my ink decides to have a mind of it's own lol. Let's just say my version came out slightly different than the original, yet still very cool. This will really impress your loved ones this holiday season when you send it as your Christmas Card.PROJECT: You mean so much card
November 11, 2012 by
I love the sentiment on this card - "You mean so much to so many people" is from the One in a Million stamp set (#126380 wood, #126382 clear mount). This card makes a great Thanksgiving card. It's also a great "thank you" card for many occasions. The fall theme makes it perfect for this time of year, even for birthdays.
The "wood" background is created with the Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock, run thru the Woodgrain impressions folder and then sanded. Very, very cool!!!Holiday Helper – 12 Days of Christmas Ideas

November 7, 2012 by
This super cute card comes from the "build your own snowman" stamp set, also knows as Stylin' Snowfolk (126285 wood, 126287 clear mount). I love Mrs. Snowman, or is it Mrs. Snowwoman?? She so adorable with the little hat and rhinestones.
A great and fun holiday card.PROJECT: Happy Hour Holiday fun
November 6, 2012 by
Here's a little "outside the box" fun with the Happy Hour stamp set (#126640 wood, #126642 clear mount) from Stampin' Up!. This is so fun, it turns the drink glass into a festive holiday party card with the holly leaf on top. Makes a great Christmas party invitation, or just a fun twist on a holiday card (or festive birthday card).VIDEO TUTORIAL: Just Believe Santa Card
November 4, 2012 by
Some things have to be believed to be seen...Just Believe is just perfect for this Santa Christmas card. We are totally rockin' "outside the box" with this video. Not only did we bring the Just Believe Stamp Set "outside the flower box", but check out Santa's beard made with the Apothecary Accents framelit die! And while I'm on a roll, how about this belt buckle made with the scallop square die. I love finding fun uses for stamp sets and products.
This card makes a great card for those with big holiday xmas card lists as it's really quick, easy and super stinkin' cute! It also is fairly flat and is easy to mail. This standard size card fits the SU Medium Whisper White Envelope #107301PROJECT: Snowman Card & Sale totals
