Candy Creations!

The late night stampers are at it again, and bringing us another fun weekly challenge! This week, put your creative juices to work (and your munching juices!) while being inspired by your favorite candy. My favorite candy of all-time is Hot Tamales. Yum! So, I went to work creating a card with Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White and a touch of Summer Sun.

 

Helpful Christmas Hint: To keep your Christmas card-making Merry and Bright, be sure to keep them “Clean and Simple”! This card comes together in a snap (less than 2 minutes!) so it is definitely a member of our elite "Sanity Saver" card club! (click here to see more Sanity Saver cards)

Today was my "Season's Greetings for Seniors" Charitable event, and I am so excited about all the Christmas cards we'll be able to donate!

One of the many things I love about all of Stampin' Up!'s publications is the FANTASTIC, EASY (I can do it!), ideas! I CASED (card-making speak for "mostly copied") this card (and a couple more coming up) from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. Don't have a Mini Catty to call your own? Well, what are you waiting for?? Just EMAIL ME your address, and I'll put yours in the mail for FREE!

Stamps: Four the Holidays (116921), Itty Bitty Backgrounds (114996) Embellishments: Mistletoe Ribbon Originals (116792) Ink: Chocolate Chip Ink (100908) Paper: Merry Moments DSP (115672), Old Olive (100702), Chocolate Chip (102128), Very Vanilla (101650)

Have you seen the NEW ornament punch (116794) in the Holiday Mini?? It coordinates perfectly with the Delightful Decorations stamp set (116517) I used in the card above and below. LOVE it!

This stamp set is one of my favorites in the entire Idea Book & Catalog. It is a Level 2 Christmas Punch Hostess set (115366-FREE! with a qualifying order or workshop of $300+). The Sentiment I used in this card coordinates with the wide oval punch (112082), and the snowflakes are a snap to cut out with the Boho Blossoms punch (110711).

All of the cards today are easy to make in less than 10 minutes, which means they qualify for Sanity Saver status. Keeping your Christmas cards clean and simple is the key to keeping your Christmas card-making Merry and Bright!
