From December 15, 2011, through January 5, 2012, nearly 200 products are being added to the Clearance Rack in the Online Store--with some discounted up to 80 percent!

Please note: Within the Online Store, in the Clearance Rack Blitz category, there will be some identical punches that have two different item numbers; this is because we are using inventory from both our American and our European warehouses. We will indicate which punches this affects in the product description.

You can place your order online at my Stampin' Up! website or you can call or email me with your order and I can place it for you.

Happy Shopping!

more projects for Holiday Gift Packaging Class

The Stocking die makes a great gift card holder and it's easy to attach the gift card to a candy cane with Mini Glue Dots. The trim pieces are embossed with the Petals-a-plenty Embossing folder.

Cute little gift box made from the Matchbox die and "Holly Berry Bouquet" Designer Series Paper.

I LOVE these little Kraft boxes! Just add some "Letters to Santa" Designer Series Paper and a pretty bow tied with the Cherry Cobbler 1 1/4" Striped ribbon.

This box is made with the Fancy Favor Box die. Just die-cut one box with cardstock and the other with designer series paper. Assemble both boxes with Sticky Strip and slide the cardstock one inside the DSP one. Finish off with a bow tied with White Satin ribbon and a cute tag accented with Rhinestones :-).

Gift Card Holder

Here's a project inspired by Sandra Murphy whose original can be seen at http://sandieskorner.com/2011/11/28/christmas-gift-card-idea-and-stampin-ups-on-line-extravaganza-continues.

I cut the Cherry Cobbler cardstock to 4 1/4" x 10 1/8" and scored at 4 1/4" and
8 1/2" on the long side. The "Frostwood Lodge" DSP is cut to 4" x 4" and
layered on the front and inside. The DSP on the top flap is cut to 4 1/4" x 1
5/8". The snowflakes are die-cut with Whisper White cardstock and the "Northern
Frost" die. The greeting from "Perfect Punches" is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on
Whisper White and punched with the smaller Scallop Circle punch.

You can see the little magnet disc on the top flap and under the snowflake to
keep it closed.

The Word Window punch is punched twice to get a long enough opening for the gift
card. Whisper White cardstock is 4" x 4" for the greeting on the inside.

This is one of the projects for my Gift Packaging class. I'll post the other ones tomorrow :-)

Thanksgiving goodies from friends!

Here are some beautiful projects I received from some lovely gals:



This little treat is from my downline, Kim Magazu and it uses the Two Tags Die. The turkey is created with the Owl punch (just cut the ears off) and the 5-Petal Flower punch for the tail feathers.


This card is created by Pam McKell and opens to a neat triangle fold:

This card is created by my downine, Nashua Carlos (who recently promoted to Supervisor! :-)

This card is from a long-time customer and friend, Melanie Morgenthaler - isn't he the cutest squirrel? :-)

How about this one from another customer, Mary Lou! The acorn is created with the Ornament and Oval punches.

Christie Gilcrest made a bunch of these for her stamping friends and I got one too! The box is the Fancy Favor die and the turkey is made from a variety of punches (circles, scallop circles, Boho Blossoms for the feet and gobble part :-) It came filled with chocolates but I ate most of them immediately!

This last one is from Chris Frazee and I think she said she printed the images from My Digital Studio - smart, huh?
