This fun Frosty Fry Box was CASEd from a project by Ronda Wade. For those of you who know me, I did "Cheng-it-up" slightly. This is a quick and easy project that can hold candy and other treats.
With this video tutorial, you'll get tips for making the Frosty treat holder using Stampin' Up!'s Fry Box or Pillow Box. Learn an easy way to hold down your ribbon while you tie the bow.

This Believe in the Miracle card is the first in a series of quick and easy Christmas cards. If you have a lot of Christmas cards to send, this series of quick and easy cards is for you! I first made this card for a demonstrator swap. It has been repeated many times since then by my demonstrator friends.
You can use a variety of stamps and it use very little designer series paper. Instead of a strip of paper that goes across the card, I used two 2 x 2 squares. The doily and sentiment hide the gap.
Here is the video tutorial with more details. Enjoy!

Looking for a quick and easy Christmas decoration for your home or a gift for that special someone? This quick and easy Christmas Star could be just what you need for your next crafting project. I got the frame (including the stand) and paper mache star at my local craft store for just under $10. Gotta love those Black Friday specials! While the frame came with the glass and backing, I liked the look of the star against the open frame.
I covered the star with Stampin' Up!'s Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper. That inspiration came from the December Splitcoaststampers Challenge.
The sentiment is from the hostess stamp set, Six Sayings, in the Holiday catalog. For the red trim and bow I used Real Red Envelope Paper. The light-weight paper was perfect for the folded banner.

I designed this card because I love the image of Santa and his reindeer in Stampin' Up!'s Cozy Christmas stamp set. The masking technique was perfect for showing them against a night sky. Do you remember how hard it was to go to sleep as a child on Christmas Eve? Every child knows that if you don't go to sleep, then Santa won't come to your house. As corny as it sounds, I still enjoy seeing the "radar image" of Santa and his reindeer approaching your area during the late news.
This video tutorial shows you how to use the masking technique for the night sky and how to line up the narrow borders.

The November Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew Challenges were all about Christmas and the Children (and the Child Within). One of my favorite things about making Christmas projects is how you find yourself smiling while you are crafting. It's fun making them and then watching someone's face when they unwrap your homemade gift. One of my friends call it a paper hug. I love how that describes the love that is shared when you give a gift from your heart.
The snowman and Christmas tree ended up being my favorite project even though it didn't turn out the way I originally planned. I used the Bohemian Designer Series Paper (138446 $11) and loved the results. It's a good thing I like all different color combinations for Christmas! Here is the tutorial for the project.
This project almost designed itself. I bought the glass container at an estate sale for $2 and knew I wanted to make a Christmas scene using the Santa and reindeer from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (139592 $11). The Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies (139670 $19) were perfect for the background. The snowflakes are from the Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper (139590 $11).
This picture of my brother and sister with Santa makes me laugh.Notice how Santa is the only person looking at the camera. I can't imagine how my mom felt wanting to get the perfect photo and then ending up with this one! However, this photo has triggered many more Christmas memories than our other "picture perfect" childhood photos.
This scrapbook layout is designed to fit the 6 x 8 Project Life Photo Pocket Page (135297 $6). It uses the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (139592 $11) and Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (139597 $11).

This punch art snowman and Christmas tree is one of my favorite
Christmas projects even though it didn't turn out the way I originally planned. I
started to make the tree using Stampin' Up!'s Seasons of Cheer Designer
Series Paper and didn't like the way the paper looked cut up into
strips. I ended up changing the colors to fit the Bohemian Designer
Series Paper and loved the results. It's a good thing I like all
different color combinations for Christmas!
You can see the details for the punch art snowman in this video. The punch art snowman was inspired by Lisa Curcio. I changed up a few things to fit Stampin' Up!'s current punches.

This ornament using Stampin' Up!'s Sleigh Ride Edgelits and Christmas Greetings Thinlits is quick and easy to make. The most difficult thing about this project is waiting for the glue to dry.
Here is the video tutorial for making this sleigh ride ornament.
Remember to use a thin window sheet for this project. Cut it out as shown in this photo (I used paper that is easier to see than a window sheet).
After everything has dried (remember when I said waiting for the glue to dry is the hardest part?), roll the window sheet and put it in the ornament. Fill the ornament with "snow". I prefer "glass glitter", chunky glitter or epsom salt. Fine glitters and some of the faux snows tend to stick to the sides of the ornament instead of settling to the bottom of the ornament.

I am so excited to share the Christmas projects I've been making for the September Creative Crew gallery. This Christmas tag with a punch art tree fits two of the challenges: DSP/Color Focus and
Holiday Focus. For the color focus challenge, I was supposed to pick my favorite designer series paper in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday catalog. I could not decide between Season of Cheer and Home for Christmas, so I used both of them! Home for Christmas has several images that are perfect for punching out single images or fussy cutting. Season of Cheer is more user friendly for cutting up into strips or punching out repetitive designs. Check out my tutorial for making this Christmas tag and visit the Splitcoaststampers gallery for more Christmas inspiration.
Another challenge was to feature one of the gift packaging ideas on pages 150 and 151 in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. I made this Snow Place gift bag using the Gift Bag Punch Board. See how I used punches and framelits to make thisSnow Place gift bag go quickly for a demonstrator swap!
This Holiday Frame is a fun project that I designed for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas for the Splitcoast challenge to make a gift item. By changing the insert and the labels, you use one frame for all three holidays. Check out how I used window sheets and magnets to make changing out the Holiday Frame quick and easy.

This quick and easy Holiday Frame is designed to fit many different holidays, including Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. You only need one frame and some magnets to make changing things for each holiday easy peasy. Stampin' Up!'s Hostess Stamp Set, Six Sayings (139849 $11), is perfect for this project.
Here is the Thanksgiving version.
Notice that the pumpkin is the same for Halloween and Thanksgiving? All I did to turn it into a jack-o-lantern was to add the window sheet with the face. The small pieces are easy to stick onto the window sheet using Stampin' Up!'s new Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
If you look closely, you can see the magnetic strip on the bottom of the frame. I also have magnets on the back of each label so they are easy to change for each holiday.
Here is how I used the Note Tag Punch to punch each end of the Halloween label. For Thanksgiving, I used the Chalk Talk Framelits.
For Christmas, I used the Ornate Tag Topper and Banner Triple Punch.
Have fun making your Holiday Frame to fit your favorite holidays. And stay tuned for future projects using this same frame.

I love penguins so the Snow Place Bundle was one of my first must-haves from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday catalog. At Stampin' Up!'s Convention, we got to use the Gift Bag Punch Board. That inspired me to make this Snow Place Gift Bag for our demonstrator swap where the theme was Bags, Tags and Boxes. And being a big fan of Stampin' Up!'s bundles, I also had to use the Flurry of Wishes Bundle to add snowflakes.
Thanks to the framelits, it was easy to die cut the Santa hat. The Banner Triple Punch and Snow Flurry Punch make it quick and easy to add the embellishments. And I have fallen in love with the Real Red PomPom Trim.
The colors I used for this project were Soft Sky for the gift bag, Tuxedo Black, Real Red, Island Indigo and Daffodil Delight for the penguin's beak and feet.

This Punch Art Tree tutorial shows you how to make this quick and easy tree that you can use on cards, tags and other Christmas projects. It combines two of my favorite designer series papers in the Holiday catalog: Season of Cheer and Home for Christmas.
You'll use 3 of Stampin' Up!'s scallop circle punches: 1 1/4", 1 3/4" and 2 3/8". Punch out one scallop circle with each punch and fold on the lines as shown. Fold back 4 scallops on each side. You'll leave one scallop at the top and 5 at the bottom.
Attach each layer with one Stampin' Dimensional at the bottom as shown. After you make your tree, I recommend Tear and Tape adhesive to attach the tree to the tag. The star is attached to the tag using a Stampin' Dimensional.
Here is the video tutorial for making this Punch Art Christmas Tree.
The Santa is fussy cut from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper and the other stars were punched using the Confetti Stars Border punch. You'll love using Stampin' Up!'s new Fine-Tip Glue Pen to attach the small stars.

This pizza box tutorial with Sharing Creativity and Company shows you how to make a quick and easy box that can be adapted to make many different size boxes. A gift card fits in the Christmas Tree box perfectly!
The video tutorial also shows you how to make the Christmas Tree box and how to use Stampin' Up!'s Festival of Trees photopolymer stamp set and coordinating tree punch.
Be sure to watch my In A Minute Tutorial to make it easy peasy to score these boxes.
To make the Christmas Tree Pizza Box, cut a piece of cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. Score on the long side at 1, 3 3/4, 4 3/4 and 7 1/2. Score on the short side at 1 and 4 1/2. Fold on the dotted lines and cut on the solid lines. I like this size because it only uses half a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock. You don't end up with any scraps and a gift card fits in the box with extra room for a little treat.
For the Pumpkin Box, cut a sheet of cardstock to 9 1/2 x 5 1/4. Score on the long side at 1, 4 1/4, 5 1/4 and 8 1/2. On the short side, score at 1 and 4 1/4.
For the Rose Box, cut a sheet of cardstock to 11 x 6. Score on the long side at 1, 5, 6 and 10. Score on the short side at 1 and 5.
Enjoy making these boxes and decorating them to your heart's desire. Who will be the lucky person to get your first pizza box project?
