Tiffany's Cardtique Stampin' Up! Christmas Card Kit

It's been a busy World Card Making Day for me today, but I love it!!! I hope you have enjoyed it too! To end the day with something exciting, I wanted to release my first card kit for sale. It's an exclusive Tiffany's Cardtique Stampin' Up! Christmas Card Kit with everything you need to create 10 Christmas cards with 5 different designs! See slideshow at the end of this posting to view all 5 designs or click on the red & green title of the kit above.

Each kit includes:
Stampin' Up! Wishing You Cheer Stamp Set
4 Stampin' Write Markers - Real Red, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, & Ballet Blue
10 Blank Cards (2 of each color) - Real Red, Garden Green, Ballet Blue, Kraft, Whisper White
10 Self-Sealing Envelopes (6 white, 4 cream)
+ all the extras you see on the cards - patterned paper, ribbons, brads, pop dots, buttons, and twine. All you need is your scissors and your favorite adhesive!

I organized all the supplies for each set of cards into clear small bags so it's all there and organized for you to assemble. I also include color photos of each card along with detailed instructions.

The cost of each kit is $35.99 + $4.80 for shipping and handling (Priority Mail). The value of this kit, if you had to buy everything separate, is well over double the price I'm selling it for.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Happy Fall!

I know, I know. I'm posting a card about snow and saying happy fall? Yesterday, the first day of fall, I felt like making a Christmas card! I guess fall just puts me in the mood to create because it gets darker out sooner and colder. I'm silly, I know!

Ok, before I tell you about my card creation here I have some exciting news! I received an e-mail yesterday from Splitcoaststampers that I am going to be the Inspiration Challenge host on World Card Making Day (October 4th) on their website!!!! I am very excited about this!!! What an awesome opportunity. So along with all the fun stuff here, you will also need to play along with my challenge at Splitcoaststampers, ok? Promise??? :)

Isn't the snowman cute on this card?! I just love him!The cardstock is Confetti White from Stampin' Up! (page 166, #102028 in the current catalog). I needed extra speckles in between my snowflakes and this paper was perfect for that. The cardstock and ink color I used is Brocade Blue from the Stampin' Up! Rich Regals collection. The snowflakes are just gorgeous and can be found in the SU! set Snow Swirled (pg 32, #11690). I love this set! I will be posting this week or next a really pretty card using the tree in this set. I love the sayings that come with it too. The cute little snowman and "Let it Snow" are from a clear set of stamps from Doodlebug. I added a few touches that are hard to see in this photograph. I added a hint of clear glitter to each snowflake to make them sparkle. I added two Brocade Blue (SU!) brads for buttons on the snowman. To add some extra softness I used Brocade Blue chalk from Stampin' Pastels (pg 163, #105542) to fill in the snowman and a light dusting on the saying.

I hope you are having a wonderful first week of fall and that you are getting geared up for my fun filled World Card Making Day! Someone asked me how many cards you will be able to make in my Christmas Card Kit I am releasing that day, and the answer is 10 cards! You're going to love them!

Thanks for stopping by and God bless!

You light up the place with that smile on your face

Whew! I cannot believe it's Sunday already. Where does the time go?

I made this Halloween card for a good friend of mine who truly "lights up the place". The stamp, cardstock, and patterned paper is all from Stampin' Up! I pulled out my Making Memories Tag Maker to make the stamped image into a tag. I put a pop dot on the tag and secured it to a black scalloped circle. Then I took a silver pen and lightly edged the outline of the card to tie it all together. The patterned paper is simply 4 squares cut into 2.5x2.25 inches. The back ribbon is tied around the card and then I attached an extra knot to each side. There are also two black brads at the top and bottom corner.

Here are a couple announcements to keep in mind:

1)Stampin' Up! Batty for You set will be -20% through the end of September only here at Tiffany's Cardtique.

2) World Card Making Day is October 4th and I have many things to share with you that day! I will be releasing my first card kit for sale and to give you a little teaser, it's a Christmas card kit! Everything you need will be included - stamps, markers, cardstock, patterned paper, etc. I will have color pictures along with instructions to make it easy for you. Whether you're new to stamping or have been doing it for 20 years, this kit will make it easy and fast to produce your own Christmas cards people will marvel over this holiday season.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and took some time to stamp! Thanks for stopping by!
