Man, am I in the weeds this holiday or what? Between sick kids, all the social obligations, delayed shipping, and keeping up with the exploits of Snoozle, our Elf on the Shelf, I'm not getting any creative time. So I'm going to end my countdown to Christmas with a smile and an acknowledgement of my limits. I appreciate all your creative minds and wish you the best this holiday season. I'll be back soon with some great projects using our new Occasions products once I have a space to put the box and the time to open it!
Take care,
Stacy

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 9
Well, it finally happened. I'm behind on everything. You forget how at least one kid or adult gets sick out of every family during the holiday season. I should be grateful that it's not me since not everyone else in my clan is good at taking the "magic of Christmas" reins but it did put me off schedule. Those wonderful envelopes that we were using for countdown with the kids? Four days off. Looks like today is going to be a crazy catchup day!
For today's post, I wanted to share one last card that uses the Watercolor Christmas Card kit with a different stamp set. I was having a little difficulty with the large stamp on my card kit so I went to another great holiday set (that is carrying over into 2018) - Half Full. This card I made for my wine loving friend who lives too far away but is on my mind often. I stamped it using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Everything else on the card is the same as the kid, just a different expression and I used the clear Wink of Stella pen on the glass. The beautiful part about kits is that you can make them what you need as long as you have a stamp set to use and a little ink!
I hope your holidays are filled to the brim with love, laughter, and cheer!
Our year end sale has begun and will last until January 2nd, 2018! Products in the sale are while supplies last so if you have been holding out for things from the holiday catalog, make sure you get them before they are gone!
Have a craftastic day,
Stacy

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 8
Today I'm bringing you my last project featuring the Watercolor Christmas stamp set. This card also uses the hardest to find product in the holiday mini catalog. Do you know what it is?
Tada - it's the Winter Wonder Textured Embossing Folder. It looks like this and it's wonderful!
For this card, I took a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White and ran it through the Big Shot with this folder at an off angle. Then I mounted that on a Crumb Cake card base. Add a 1/2 x 4 piece of Glimmer paper using Tear and Tape. This is because the backs of these papers are waxy and you want adhesive that will stick! Add a 3 1/2 piece of Crumb Cake Cotton Weave ribbon cut at an angle with adhesive.
Stamp the Merriest Christmas Wishes saying in Crumb Cake ink on a 4 x 4 piece of Whisper White and punch out using the Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Then stamp the inside saying on a smaller scrap and punch out with the stitched square. Add the circle to the card using dimensionals. Add basic rhinestones if you'd like. The inside saying goes on the inside with adhesive.

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 7
Here we are again with another Watercolor Christmas card. I really did use this stamp set as my "go to" set this year!
For this card, you add the Season of Cheer washi tape to the 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Very Vanilla. Take a 6" piece of our Gold Metallic Edge ribbon and wrap around the same piece and adhere on the back. Add a second piece of ribbon under it and tie in a knot. Trim the ends and adhere this to the folded Very Vanilla card base with adhesive.
Next, stamp the Season of Cheer on Very Vanilla and punch out using the 2" Circle Punch. I used Gold Encore for mine but Crumb Cake or another color would look great as well with this card. Mount on a Foil Snowflake using dimensionals. You can use the gold side or the vanilla side of the snowflake. Then add to the card using three more dimensionals.
Beautiful and elegant - I just love this one.

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 6
Since I have been showing projects this week featuring the Watercolor Christmas set, I wanted to slip a tag project into the mix. The base of these tags is 3 x 1 1/4 in Whisper White and then a 3 x 1/2 piece of Quilted Christmas DSP. Next, the To/From stamp is from the November 2015 Paper Pumpkin set. I love being able to turn to these past Paper Pumpkin sets in my collection - the solution is always there! Finally, these cute tags feature the three trees from the Watercolor Christmas set and are all punched out with a 1" circle punch. They are on the tag with a dimensional.
These tags would work with any to/from and 1" image. I did a bunch featuring the snowflake from the November 2017 Paper Pumpkin set for my own packages.
Supplies:
- Cardstock/DSP: Whisper White, Quilted Christmas DSP
- Ink: Garden Green
- Stamp Set: Watercolor Christmas, November 2015 Paper Pumpkin (retired)
- Accessories: 1" Circle Punch, dimensionals, adhesive
Both the Quilted Christmas DSP and the Watercolor Christmas Stamp Set are retiring and are on sale while supplies last. Pick up these great products at my Online store!

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 5
Today's post is another quick and easy solution to your holiday card needs. In this case, we are utilizing the Watercolor Christmas card kit that is currently on sale for $16. That's 20 cards with envelopes for under $1 a card.
To complete the cards, you will need to add either the Watercolor Christmas stamp set (which I adore) or another stamp set from your collection that will work. Today I used the Watercolor Christmas stamp set to show you the cards exactly as they appear in the instructions. That way you can get a good look at them individually! The ink I chose was Memento Tuxedo Black because it dries so fast on our white cardstock in these kits that I don't have to worry about any smudges!
Thank you for looking and see you again tomorrow!

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 4
This weekend was full of joy and festivities and so many photos! I'm glad I have my Christmas album all ready using our Memories and More product line so all I have to do is print my favorite photos and slide them into the book! You can see all my layouts for this album here.
For today's project, I'm sharing a quick and easy pizza box that transforms itself into a gift card holder in minutes. You could also put a cookie or treat in there if you desired!
These boxes are on the holiday carryover list so you will see them show up with birthday themes in my Winter workshops!
For this box, I chose to put a folded 3 x 3 card on the top so that I could write who it was too since I didn't leave room on the top!
Otherwise, you just fold the box on the score lines and add a 3 1/4 square of Old Olive to the top of the box. Fold a 6 x 3 piece of Whisper White in half and adhere it to the box with the opening at the bottom. Add a 3 x 3 piece of Merry Music Specialty DSP to the top and make sure your words are flowing the right way! Stamp Oh Joy in Smoky Slate on a 2 x 2 3/4 piece of Whisper White. Add a piece of doily to the back of this with adhesive and adhere to the box. Finally add a Season of Glitz mini bow and you are all ready to bring Joy to someone this holiday and that's before they even see what's inside!

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 3
Today's Countdown to Christmas post is showing two different projects using the same supplies. This came about after I had designed an acetate box for my Christmas in October class but some that ordered the class to go wanted cards and not the 3D elements. Thus I took a kit of the supplies and added a folded card base and ended up with this great sample instead. Aren't they just pretty and peaceful?
I chose this color scheme because Soft Sky matches the tissue paper that comes in our Paper Pumpkin boxes and I thought it was a great way to use it by wrapping up a gift card and sliding it into one of our acetate card holders.
During the countdown, I will be recording the individuals that comment on my posts. On Christmas day, I will draw a name from those posts randomly and that person will get a surprise gift straight out of the Occasions Catalog. Pretty sweet deal, eh? Limit to one entry per day.
Our year end sale has begun and will last until January 2nd, 2018! Products in the sale are while supplies last so if you have been holding out for things from the holiday catalog, make sure you get them before they are gone!

Paper Pumpkin is creativity in a box. It costs $19.95 plus tax and ships to your mailbox once a month. It contains everything you need for your own creative escape. Besides the instructions and pieces for the cards or project, it also contains ink and photopolymer stamps and usually the adhesive you need as well. My subscribers will also get a project sheet with tips and additional ideas and instructions that they can make with the supplies in the kits and sometimes some supplemental supplies. Plus I try to send one of the alternative ideas out to everyone in the mail so you get two fun surprises in the mail each month! Sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit!
There are two ways to sign up.
Subscribers can also have access to all my past project sheets!
Our year end sale has begun and will last until January 2nd, 2018! Products in the sale are while supplies last so if you have been holding out for things from the holiday catalog, make sure you get them before they are gone!
Check out the list of sale items via my Online Store and use hostess code WMP4FRM2 at checkout.
Have you heard about the Stamparatus? It is an amazing position tool that will help you align your photopolymer and clearmount stamps for straight stamping every time. Plus it will help you do mass production of cards like those you receive in Paper Pumpkin kits. Our Stamparatus also operates on a hinge system so you can remove and reposition the entire grid. For more information, watch this great video.

You reserve your tool but you aren't billed until yours is ready to ship. Some will ship during Sale-a-Bration period (those that get theirs reserved first) and others will come after March 2018. The cost is $49 (plus shipping/tax) and you can order yours by clicking my Shop Now button above as of 12/5 and clicking on the Stamparatus Reservation link on the top of the page.

Another great product is out from Stampin' Up! in time for Christmas and Sale-a-Bration. Our Stampin' Blends are our new and improved alcohol markers that make for vivid images and are relaxing to use. Check out more information on them here.
You can order them on my online store and they make a great stocking stuffer! Please use hostess code WMP4FRM2 at checkout.

Countdown to Christmas 2017 - Day 2
Welcome to my Countdown to Christmas blog series. Today's post is all about the kiddos. We spend a lot of time over the holidays doing advent calendars and trying to manage expectations about how much parents can do while creating the magic of Christmas! Each passing day makes the kids more excited and their mom more nervous about all the things left to do.
This year we decided not to wrap books for each day so that the kids would actually read them through December. We decided not to do more candy in an advent calendar when we are still trying to get through Halloween tubs. We decided more little Tsum Tsum might just kill us and the vacuum this year. So I decided to marry my planner and the countdown and came up with an envelope countdown that will keep the kids excited and mommy on track!
The idea is that you take your traditions (new and old and some you find on Pinterest from moms who are way more creative than you) and write them down on a 3 x 3 piece of cardstock. Use up your scraps here! Then I layered a 3 x 3 piece of Be Merry DSP on the front of a 3 x 3 envelope (mine are vanilla since I was using up my past supplies but our white would work perfectly!) I ran scraps of DSP through the Big Shot with the Large Number Framelits and layered on the front with adhesive. Line them up in a cute little holiday box and you are good to go for the month!
The best thing about this list is that if something comes up (i.e. mommy forgets to buy the sale for the salt dough), I can just switch that out the night before with a different activity and they don't know to be disappointed!
