Holiday Place Setting
Did ya miss me???? I caught something on the plane that totally kicked my can for two weeks! Sheesh! Crazy!
Anyway...I thought you might enjoy another use for the stocking die. I used it to create a place setting for my Book Club Dinner.
A simple way to dress up your table!
I used two stockings - back-to-back - run through the Big Shot with an Embossing Folder. The accented pieces are Silver Shimmer Paper. I only adhered the bottom and sides so the top was open. I put a candy cane in but told the attendees they could reuse the stocking for a gift card.
Enjoy!

HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY, SUPER SATURDAY, STELLAR SUNDAY AND CYBER MONDAY!!!!!
I hope you all had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving! Mine was awesome! I love, love, love having my family around! Nicki couldn't come home because she had to cheer so I woke up Friday and flew to Miami to spend the weekend with her! Both kids in one weekend...just heavenly!
The only down side is that I totally forgot about my SALES!!!! So, I was thinking about that this morning and I know that we all go through tons of adhesives! I think we used 12 sticky strips at the Holiday Extravaganza alone! So, I decided to make that my big SALE for this week! It's not glamorous but it certainly saves you some moula! Sale ends November 30th at 8PM (EST) so HURRY!!!!!
Here are the details:
Email me an order for any of the Stampin' Up! adhesives we sell and you will receive 40% off!!!!! (Sale excludes tax & shipping.) This is my Thanksgiving special to you so you must contact me directly to receive it.

SNAIL Adhesive (simple, neat, affordable in-line) applies a controlled amount of adhesive directly to your project, so your hands and work area never get sticky.

You’ll love the adhesive, and it’s a great price, too! |

Stampin’ Dimensionals are the easiest way to give your projects an instant 3-D look. Just stamp an image, trim around it, and then use a Stampin’ Dimensional to attach it to your project. They are also great for making greetings stand out and attaching 3-D objects such as tags and bows. |

2-Way Glue is versatile and provides a permanent or temporary bond. It's perfect for masking or working with stencils!

Grandma's 96th Birthday Card!
My Grandmother just turned 96! We're so lucky to still have her with us! I went to lunch with her today and wanted to make her a card so I could put gift certificates to her favorite places.
Here's the "card" I made. The directions follow. Enjoy!
The Cherry Cobbler base is 3 3/4 x 12 scored at 3 3/4, 4 1/4, 8 1/4, and 8 1/2
The front is More Mustard 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 with a piece of whisper white card stock 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 layered on top of it.
The small scalloped piece is 1 1/4 x 3 1/4 cut with the Scallop edge border punch..
The white card stock is decorated using French Foliage Stamp Set and More Mustard Classic Ink, Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink, and Crumb Cake Classic Ink.
The ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Polka Dot cut at 22".
The button is from the Rich Regals Collection with a piece of Chantilly ribbon tied through it and adhered with mini glue dots.
The Greeting is stamped using Birthday Wishes in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White card stock 2 1/4 x 2 3/4 layered onto a piece of More Mustard 2 1/2 x 3 - Both are punched using the Scallop Edge Border Punch. **My trick for layering the so that the scallops match up correctly is to cut the white piece larger and then scallop it and cut it to size using the piece that matches up with the other scallops.** (Hope that makes sense!)
Use the Big Shot and the Scallop Envelope die, cut 3 Whisper White Envelopes. (If you start with a piece of 5 1/4 x 4 1/2 cardstock, you'll have the perfect size to cut the envelopes.) Each envelope is adhered to a piece of More Mustard 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and those pieces are attached to the accordion folded piece of Cherry Cobber. (Detailed below)
The Cherry Cobbler accordion folded piece on the bottom is 4 1/2 x 3 1/2, scored every half inch beginning at 1/2". Accordion fold it and apply sticky strip as directed below. Then...flip the cardstock over and put sticky strip on the one flap as detailed below.
This piece is flipped over and attached to the inside of the front flap of the card. (It should look like the first picture of the accordion folded piece above when you adhere it.)
To assemble the card, adhere the BACK of the card stock with the finished envelopes to the FRONT of the accordion folds. Before you adhere the back piece of the accordion folded strip, place a strip of sticky strip on the BOTTOM flap so that the accordion piece will stick DOWN. See side view below.
If you have any questions, drop me an email!
I hope you liked it! :-)
