Hi Stampers. Welcome to the 195th day of March…. Can you believe it’s already time to think about Christmas gifts? Handmade gifts hold more meaning because you cared enough to make it yourself! Today I have a tealight box for you to try. I have included a video tutorial and a template for you.
This box holds four tealights and makes a great gift for those you want to give ” a little something ” to. Think hairdresser, nail technician, neighbors, friend from church… anyone you want to share a little sunshine with. It’s been a tough year financially for alot of people, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give small gifts of appreciation.
Stampin’ Tip: If you get the tealights in the tin holder – wrap them in washi tape to cheer them up a bit.
The top of the tealight box has clear acetate, giving a peek to the candles inside. This top easily lifts to give access to the tealights.
The tealight box is then wrapped in ribbon and trim with a pretty bow. It’s ready to brighten someones day. 🙂
Template for this box:

Hi Stampers. Since it’s mid July, today’s card is a “Christmas in July” card. LOL One of the stamp sets that carried over from last years holiday catalog to the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is the Still Scenes stamp set and the Snow Globe dies.
My snow globe card has a Night of Navy card base. (I chose to use retired DSP because I didn’t have any from the new August to December Mini Catalog yet.) Using Night of Navy ink I stamped the top of the snow globe stamp onto a scrap of Whisper White CS. Next, using the snow globe scenes dies, I die cut out the trees in Garden Green CS and the deer in Soft Suede CS and assembled the background over the stamped image. I used the top of the snow globe die from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies to cut top of the snow globe out of the DSP and the base out of Night of Navy and Whisper White CS (with adhesive sheets on the back).
Before adhering anything to the card base, there were a few extra steps. First the shaker dome – I peeled off the adhesive cover on the dome side of the shaker and inserted it into the hole cut into the DSP with the dies.- from the back. Next, I peeled off the covering and exposed the adhesive on the other side of the dome and carefully placed it over the stamped and die cut scene. Then it was ready to glue to the card front and adhere the base to the card front, just under the dome.
Inside the card is a Whisper White layer that has the sentiment and a few snowflakes in the corners using Night of Navy ink. Have you starting thinking about your Christmas cards for this year? I can help you design and get started soon so you don’t feel rushed. Handmade cards are always best!

Hi Stampers. As January comes to a close the snow is finally melting out of our yard. Being a Northern California native, I’m not used to snow and I HATE to drive in it. But, if you can stay home, watch it from the windows and build snowmen, I like it. I also like the Snowman Season stamp set and Snowman Builder Punch. These items are not currently available, but if you missed out – don’t panic – they will be back in June in the new Annual Catalog. In the meantime, this super cute Hershey Kisses Gift Card Holder can be made with any stamp set in your collection.
Last year, I found a 2015 video from fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator Kelly Acheson and knew I had to make one! The top of this cute little gift holds a gift card and the bottom holds five Hershey Kisses.
These are the measurements:
Seaside Spray CS – 6-3/4″ x 9-3/4″ – score at 1″ & 5-3/4″ on the short side and score at 2-3/4″, 5-1/4″, 6-1/4″, 7-1/4″, 8-1/4″ & 9-1/4″ on the long side (box)
Whisper White – 2-1/8″ x 4-3/8″ (snowman layer)
Whisper White – 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ (back layer)
Window Sheets – 4-5/8′ x 2′, scored at 1/2′ on each side (window)
Seaside Spray CS – 7/8″ x 4-5/8 strip” (tray to hold kisses)
The back is the perfect place to write your message. I decorated it up to match the front side and added the “to” and “from”. It’s so cute!!

Hi Stampers. I know Christmas is over, but somehow I forgot to post this card. It’s a double slider technique – this is a great fold that can be used for any occasion. I figured it was worth posting so you can watch the video and learn how to make this card.
For this card, I used the stamp set #Elfie. If you haven’t figured it out yet – it was my favorite set from the 2019 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. Its’ adorable and looks great colored with the Stampin’ Blends.
This card is a standard A2 size and fits into the Stampin’ Up! Medium Envelopes for mailing. I love the way it pops open to show two additional panels.
I made this card during my FB Live video on December 2nd. You can see the video on my Facebook page or see it on my YouTube channel. YouTube video posted below.

Merry Christmas, Stampers! I hope you are blessed to be able to spend this holiday surrounded by love, good health and friends and family to enjoy it with.
Today’s card is another interactive one for you. Dawn Griffith, a fellow demo, did a video on how to do a simple slider card a few years ago. I believe her cards were birthday cards and I made several Christmas cards with this slider technique. Since it is Christmas, I am combining the three cards into one post. You can view my Facebook Live video HERE.
My first card here is made using the #Elfie stamp set, Cherry Cobbler CS, Very Vanilla CS and Night Before Christmas DSP.
This is what the card looks like open – revealing the second sentiment.
A Gold Faceted Gem on the end of the slider makes it easier to grip and slide open.
The inside of the card has a layer of Very Vanilla CS with the elf by the pole stamped in the corner. I colored the elf with the Stampin’ Blends and then used the light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend to outline the image, giving it a sort of shadow effect.
For my Facebook Live video – I made this second card, showing how I made the first one. It’s almost the same, I just switched up the DSP and the elf I used.
I also used the other sentiment from the #Elfie stamp set for the hidden message.
I used a 1″ glimmer paper circle on the pull tab. The texture of the glimmer paper makes the tab easy to grab and pull out.
Like the first card, the inside of the card has a layer of Very Vanilla CS with the elf by the pole stamped in the corner. I colored the elf with the Stampin’ Blends and then used the light Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend to outline the image, giving it a sort of shadow effect.
For this third card, I reversed the DSP and the neutral layer. I know it’s hard to see, but behind that Whisper White layer is a layer of the Wrapped in Plaid DSP.
Because the second layer was a pattern, instead of neutral, I had to add a small strip of neutral to stamp the sentiment onto.
The Santa is colored using the Stampin’ Blends.
The 1″ circle on the pull tab is Sparkler Glimmer paper.
This card had the fold on the top and has a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler and the present stamped in Memento Black, so it can be colored with the Stampin’ Blends.

Merry Christmas Eve, Stampers. I hope Santa is good to you this year and blesses you with family, friends and good health. Today I have a triple feature for you – the same card in 3 different colors.
These cards are made using the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets. The sheets come in 3 colors – Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay and Old Olive. So, I chose to make one card in each of these beautiful colors and pair them with our gorgeous Sparkle Glimmer paper!
