*This bundle is only available while supplies last.

I started making this JOY Pennant banner last year some time and just never finished it! I had all the pieces cut and everything. I happened to come across it again when my friend Jennifer came over and helped clean up my stamp room. The paper used is now retired, but wouldn't the new Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper found in the mini catalog look beautiful?!

The pennant is made by using the Pennant XL die for the Big Shot. The die also cuts the fun scalloped circles you see at the bottom of each pennant. The ribbon is from the Mistletoe ribbon found in the Holiday mini catalog.

I think I might jazz this up a bit by adding some rhinestone brads in the center of the small scallop circle and embossing the letters or use some red glitter. Not totally sure, but I'll have to play some!

Cocoa Packets

These are some cute little cocoa packets I made for my MOPS group project this month. They are super easy to make and so adorable!

1. Take a business sized envelope and cut the bottom off at 5 1/2".
2. Cut the top part of the envelope at 2".
3. Cut a piece of designer paper to 1 3/4 x 3 7/8".
4. Stamp bottom piece of envelope as you wish. Run through your Paper Crimper.
5. Adhere Designer Paper piece to top off envelope and tie a piece of ribbon around it.
6. Stamp a greeting on the bottom part of your lid.
7. Add a cocoa, coffee, or cider packet to your envelope.

Choose Your Own Christmas Adventure!

I am excited to offer a new class on November 30. I am offering 3 different Christmas Projects that I couldn't fit into my Christmas Stamp Camp a couple weeks ago. You can choose to do one, two, or all 3 projects. Each one is priced individually. You may make up to two of each project. The class will begin as early as 5:00 for those of you who are able to make it then. The "normal" start time is 6:30 pm.

RSVP & Pre-payment is due by November 25.

Here are the projects:

Jingle All the Way Lighted Glass Block
Cost: $22 or $10 if you purchase your own glass block and lights
Approximate Time: 30 minutes

Details: I am giving you the option to purchase your own glass block and lights from a hobby store so that you can take advantage of any coupons or sales the store might offer. I am not able to use multiple 40% off coupons, so I'd have to pay full price. These are pre-drilled glass blocks.

The block I used is the mini, but you could definitely use the larger blocks. If you choose to purchase the mini block, you will want a string of 20 lights. If you choose the larger block, a string of 35 lights would work well. I will be purchasing the mini blocks for those of you who are paying the full price for the class.

Items to bring to class: Glass block and lights (optional), Stampin' Up! heat tool-- if you happen to have one!



JOY Wall Hanging
Cost: $8
Approximate Time: 30 minutes

Make this adorable hanging that uses a couple of Big Shot dies and the Merry Moments Designer Paper.

Items to bring to class: Paper Cutter, Adhesive





Box and Tags
Cost: $8
Approximate Time: 30-45 minutes

Learn to make this adorable see through box that will hold 40 Christmas Tags.

Items to bring to class: Paper cutter with scoring blade, Adhesive, Ornament Punch--if you happen to have one!

Lauren's Paper Display Board

Last December I held a class where we made paper display racks that hold your child's papers. You can see the ones the class made by clicking here.

Over the summer, Kyle's friend Austin and sister celebrated their birthdays at BounceU, so I made Lauren this paper display board using the fun and bright Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper. I used the Stampin' Up Beautiful Butterflies die for my Big Shot to add some fun and popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The die cut letters are from the Stampin' Up Alphabet Simple letters dies. The ribbon used is the retired Purely Pomegranate Satin ribbon.

Microscope Glass Slide Ornament

We made these adorable ornaments at my Christmas Stamp Camp on Saturday. The sample you see above is actually the one the ladies made. I had bought smaller slides from a craft store (1 1/2 x 1 1/2") for my sample, but had ordered 2 x 3 slides online for the camp.

Most of the ladies did the Faux Diamond embossing technique on top of their image, but I forgot to do that in my sample. Adding the faux diamond technique adds so much Christmas-y sparkle.

Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, En Francais, Dasher
Inks: Classic--Always Artichoke, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Very Vanilla, Merry Moments Dp (on backside)
Accessories: Silver Cording (in Holiday Mini catalog), Mistletoe Ribbon (Holiday Mini), Silver Beads Duo, Sticky Strip

Christmas Stamp Camp Bonus Projects

Images copyright Stampin' Up!

Oh, we had so much fun at the Christmas Stamp Camp on Saturday! I had nine ladies join me to make 5 fabulous (if I do say so myself!) projects. You can see them in the post below.

Each year, I like to add some type of stamped bag and a gift for my girls who come. You can see what I made last year by clicking here. This year, I made (with Jennifer's help) these super cute Santa Bags and Santa Hershey Bar covers. Don't you love them?!

Both are super easy to make. After finishing the candy bar holder, I realized that my bags look kind of goofy with the white showing in the buckle. That doesn't really seem right. So, my directions below will have you make a black belt that goes all the way across. Also, you could make the candy bar holder longer so that it doesn't show the top and bottom of the candy bar.


Santa Gift Bag
Supplies: Whisper White cs, Basic Black cs, 1 ¼” circle punch, 1 3/8” square punch, Red gift bag, Merry Moments Designer Paper, Silver Cording, Big Shot Two Tags die, Christmas Punch stamp set (hostess only)

1. Cut a 3 x 10 ¼ strip of Whisper White. Distress sides using Cutter Kit or scissors.
   
2. Cut (2) 1 ½” x 3 ½” basic black for belt.
3. Cut (1) 2 ¾ x 2 ½” basic black for buckle. Use square punch or paper cutter to cut out middle.
4. Punch 3 basic black circles for buttons.

Santa Candy Bar Wrapper
Supplies: Hershey Bar, 5 ½ x 7 ¼”Real Red cs, Whisper White cs (1 ½ x 7 ¼. 1 ½ x 5 ½), Basic Black cs (1 x 7 ¼, scraps), ½” circle punch, Stampin Dimensionals.

1. Score red cardstock with 5 ½ at top at 2 ¼, 2 ½, 4 ¾, and 5”.
2. Apply adhesive to one flap and wrap this around your candy bar.
3. Score the same as above for the Black piece and the longer white piece.
4. Tear both edges of shorter white and the top edge of the longer white.
5. Adhere the shorter white down the middle of your Santa’s body.
6. Apply adhesive to back of longer white piece and wrap around bottom edge of your Santa’s body.
7. Apply adhesive to back of black piece and wrap around middle of Santa’s body.
8. Cut a 1 ¼” square from Basic Black cs and adhere to middle of belt.
9. Punch 3 ½” black circles and attach to white strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
