2012 Occasions Mini Catalog--Apothecary Art

I'm back after taking a little "time off"!  I hope you and your family had a memorable Christmas and are looking forward to a new year beginning! We spent time with my parents and were gone for about a week. I've been busy doing laundry, going through the mail, grocery shopping, and taking down the Christmas stuff!  All of my new Stampin' Up! toys (from the new mini) have arrived and all I really want to do is stamp, stamp, and stamp some more!!

Have you had a chance to look at your new Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure?  As soon as I saw the front cover of the Occasions Mini, I just knew I had to make the card photographed on the left side!  I was delighted to use so many of the new products pictured inside the new mini! What fun!!

There's still time to shop Stampin' Up!'s Clearance Rack Blitz!  A few more products have been added and if you've been wanting our awesome punches (at Clearance Rack prices), there are lots of these in the "old-style body".  Nothing wrong with that!

I hope you find time to Be Creative this Weekend!

Stocking Builder Punch

Stampin' Up announced that they will not be carrying over the Stocking Builder Punch (#124095) and it will not appear in the 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog.  Instead, they will offer another exciting holiday punch in the future.  So...this probably means that the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set will not be carried over either. If you've been thinking of purchasing the stamp set and/or Stocking Builder Punch, you have until January 3 (or while supplies last) to place your order.

 

While you're in my Online Store, be sure to check out the the Clearance Rack Blitz! Designer papers are up to 80% off and the old body-style punches are 40% off!!

A Santa Box

Hostess Club was yesterday and I thought I'd show you our projects. We made this adorable little Santa treat box using the the Big Shot Fancy Favor Box die.  Just fill a medium cello bag (#1027757) with Christmas candies, tie with coordinating ribbon, and tuck inside the box!

Our next project was a card created with You Are Loved Stamp Set (wood mount #123777, clear mount #123779), which is located in the Holiday Mini on page 40 .  It's only available until January 3, 2012!  This was one of the Make & Take cards we made at the Charlotte, NC Regional!

Stampin' Up! will begin mailing the 2012 Occasions Mini this week! If you're not on my mailing list and would like to receive a mini, just send me your name and address and I'll put one in the mail to you!

Letters to Santa

Just a reminder to those who are signed up for the Letters to Santa Class--We will meet at 1 pm tomorrow!  I'll see you then.

This is the last weekend...to order Stampin' Up! products and have them delivered to your door before Christmas!

Thanks for making

Be Creative Stamping a part of your week!

My Digital Studio Gift Tag

I used My Digital Studio to create this double-sided gift tag below! I'll be using this tag for family presents and neighborhood treats!  It does come with a hole in the upper left hand corner for attaching ribbon.  I had Stampin' Up! do the printing.  Quick turn around time--I ordered it Sunday night and it shipped on Monday!

 

It's not too late...any Stampin' Up! order placed by next Wednesday is due to ship before Christmas!

Be Creative Hugs,

Christmas Lodge Stamp Set

I thought I'd share a Chrismas card that I received in the mail.  It's made by my dear friend, Jean, who is also my Stampin' Up! Upline. She used the Christmas Lodge Stamp Set in Whisper White and Bashful Blue colors.  What a gorgeous card!  Thank you, Jean! 

It's not too late...to order Stampin' Up! products in time for Christmas!  Next Wednesday, December 14, will be the last day that you can order for Christmas delivery.

I hope you find time to Be Creative today!
