- Alhambra (Jumbo Wheel)
Colors:
- Old Olive

We made a page for our Technique Journal too using Perfect Plum, Old Olive, and Elegant Eggplant…one of my favorite color combinations.
For the little technique book sample, we punched the file tab at the 2″ mark instead of 3″. The background on the page was stamped with the Tape It and Secret Garden stamp sets. Also, I always use My Digital Studio for the instructions so I can match the colors and add Stampin’ Up! digital stamps.

Nov 11, 2013 | Cards, Christmas, Tutorial, Video |
The Christmas Star stamp is one of Stampin’ Up!’s single stamp offerings. I love how it looks heat embossed with the silver embossing powder, but it’s even more beautiful when you fold the star so that it pops off the card. I did a little video showing how. Here’s the link.
Stamp Sets:
- Christmas Star
- More Merry Messages
- Everything Eleanor (swirl for envelope)
Colors:
- Coastal Cabana
- Smoky Slate
- Whisper White
Supplies / Tools:
- Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Silver embossing powder / Heat Tool / VersaMark ink
- Stampin’ Pierce Mat
- Simply Scored Stylus
- Needlepoint Embossing Folder
- White Baker’s Twine
I also used the Cut & Ready Card Bases to save time cutting the parts for this card. You get 20 in a package…perfect for making Christmas cards. I hope you enjoy the video!

Oct 16, 2013 | Christmas, Memory Keeping |
I decorated the cover of my Season of Style This and That Journal at the craft retreat we went to Labor Day weekend. I offset the decoration to make room for the Baked Brown Sugar Ruffle Stretch Trim. I love this stretchy ribbon for keeping scrapbooks and journals closed (especially if you use large embellishments inside).
Stamps:
- Joyful Christmas
- Christmas Messages
Colors:
- Early Espresso
- Baked Brown Sugar
- Cherry Cobbler
- Old Olive
- Sahara Sand
- Gold
Extras / Supplies:
- Chevron Embossing Folder
- Burlap Ribbon
- Deco Labels Collection Framelits
- Circles Collection Framelits
- VersMark / Heat Tool
- Gold embossing powder
- Glimmer Brad
The Journal has sections and pockets to keep track of everything: 4 calendars, card giving, gift giving, decorating, baking, parties, shopping, receipts…even stickers to put on your calendars or wherever. A Christmas rotary stamp is also available (use markers to ink it up).
I love doing this every year. It helps me next year to look back and see what I got for everyone the year before, when I did everything, and how many cards I sent out. The calendars are empty so you can add the dates and use them for any year. Order yours by clicking on the Shop Now button in the margin of my blog.
Happy Stampin’
