It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!

I spent a lot of the day yesterday decorating our den. It looks AWESOME! I still have some stuff to do in our bedroom, and a bit in the hallway - but I stopped in the afternoon. I can only "fluff" so many trees in one day! :D

ANYWAY. Today's share is a no-layer Christmas card, very simple and unusual, IMHO... :D

This is a card we did at two of the parties here last week. SO super-easy, and I think it encouraged everyone to think outside the box a bit!

Card stock: Whisper White

Ink: Real Red, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip

Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Medallion, Many Merry Messages (inside)

Accessories: Stampin' Sponge, Dauber

One of the girls told me that she's pretty sure this will be some of her Christmas card design this year; her son is at the age where he won't leave her alone! :D (I'm thinking he's about 18 months, but I'm probably a little young on my guesstimate. LOL!)

There are several things you could do to dress this up or down - but I love sharing cards at parties that are SIP! That's stamps, ink, and paper! :D

OK, time to go get started on tomorrow's TWELVE WEEKS email! :) Have a WONDERFUL day - and PLEASE, take the time to stamp something! :) (P.S. Thank you to those brave women who leave me comments!!! I so appreciate you! :D)

Quick card JUST for you!

Hi, everyone! I know I didn't post yesterday - it was an ODD day. BUT, I'm here today, and I created this little jem JUST for you!

Remember a week or so ago, when I was telling you my philosophy on teaching new stampers to SIP (stamps, ink, paper)? Well, here's another card, EXACT same color palette, a little different look!

Card stocks: Sahara Sand, Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White

Inks: Sahara Sand, Jet Black Stazon, Real Red

Stamp set: Bird on a Branch (Thanks, Amy, for letting me borrow it!:D)

Accessories: dimensionals, ticket corner punch

Yeah, I kicked it up ONE notch with the corner punch, but you DEFINITELY wouldn't need it. This set is very classy, and simple to use!!!

OK, I'm off - I have a hostess club tonight! :) Check in tomorrow for the three cards and one 3D project we're going to be doing - they're ROCKIN'!!!!! :) IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO GET IN ON SALE-A-BRATION!!!!!!!!! Contact me at poohisstampin@aol.com or (615)497-4532 for more information!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful evening! And take the time to STAMP something - that's what I'll be doing! :D

Stampin' CRAZY here! :D

Good Tuesday morning! How are you today? I've already been stampin' today - there's an Advanced Techniques Class here tonight, so I've been scurrying to get the planning finished. There's never an end to that! :D

So, today I'm going to share another Quick & Easy card with you! And it's SUPER quick and easy. :D

The designer series paper is from the Occasions Mini, Summer Picnic. I matted it with Always Artichoke, and put that on a Whisper White card stock base. The "thanks so much" is from SINCERE SALUTATIONS, and on the INSIDE, we stamped the apple from TART & TANGY - also in the Occasions Mini - in Always Artichoke in the bottom corner.

You really can't get much simpler than that - and you can use the layout for lots of occasions, with any DSP, or with any stamped strip. SUPER simple! :) You could dress it up with glitter on ONE of the apples, or a bow and button....

So, what are YOU stamping these days????

Did someone say SIP???

I promised you more from this weekend. :D So, here you go. It's ALL paper, ink, and stamps! And I did it in three colors, so you could see the difference. :) This one is Whisper White, stamped with Bashfult Blue, then stamped with Brilliant Blue for the "Priceless". The butterfly was also stamped with Brilliant Blue and then cut out. The wings and antennae are bent slightly, and the body is the only thing glued down - so, when the scanner cover's not crushing it, there's some dimension. :D

This one, on the left, is done the EXACT same way, using Almost Amethyst and Lovely Lilac.

And this final one, on the right, is done exactly the same, with Certainly Celery and Glorious Green. Ang brought three ink pads - Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue, and Certainly Celery - and her Bold Bright Stampin' Write markers.

So, what do you think??? Of course, I can see where some GLITTER (Hi, Amy!) would come in beautifully on the butterfly's wings, if you wanted to amp it up JUST a little bit. :D But I PROMISED myself to try SIPping a little bit! :D

There. You got THREE samples, to make up for yesterday. :D Is that good?

Time for me to hit the hay - it's been a LONG day today! I hope you have a WONDERFUL Thursday - and take the time to what??? That's RIGHT! :D STAMP SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
