Sweet 16 Birthday Card

My son has been invited to at least four Sweet 16 Parties.  I think I'm going to make this card for all of them and just change up the cardstock color.  It's pretty and simple with the Detailed Floral Thinlits!

Retired But Love It - Snowflake Box

Used some of this retired heavy cardstock paper to make this cute Snowflake Box.  The snowflake center is from Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Dimensions are below.

Dimensions:  4" x 8", scored on the long side at 1", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 7" and then scored on the shorter side at 1" and 5".

Black and White Santa's Sleigh

This black and white Santa's Sleigh card is a nice twist on the usual red and green Christmas cards.  The black sleigh works nicely against the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper. DSP strip measures 2" x 5 1/2" and layered against a 2 1/4" x 5 1/2" Basic Black cardstock.

Alter It Thursday: Keurig Snowman Hat Ornament

I love it when you can take an ordinary household item and alter it into a cute craft item.  I used an empty Keurig cup to make this adorable Snowman Hat Ornament.  Basically I added ribbon and dressing and glued the empty Keurig cup onto a 3" black circle.  Stampers don't throw anything away.

EVERYONE (U.S.) Can Reserve A STAMPARATUS TODAY!

RESERVE YOUR STAMPARATUS TODAY AT 2 P.M MOUNTAIN!  

Stamparatus, the best stamp positioning tool on the market (product benefits and details below), is available to reserve today at 2 p.m.!  With the launch of this tool, Stampin’ Up! is using a reservation system. This system will allow Stampin’ Up! to get this high demand product into demonstrator and customer hands as soon as possible.

• UPDATE!  Whether the total number of reservations today is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open from Dec. 5 – Dec. 30, 2017!  This will be the ONLY remaining window to reserve a Stamparatus.
• Limit:  1 tool per customer.
• In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information.
• After notification that your Stamparatus is available (March 19 or later), you’ll need to login and close your order.  Be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.  You can add other products to the order at that time.
• Credit cards will not be charged (Stamparatus cost is $49 plus shipping and sales tax) until the Stamparatus ships from the Stampin’ Up! facility. 
• UPDATE!  Beginning March 19, Stampin’ Up! will ship the Stamparatus in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in the warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
• The Stamparatus will be a regular product in the Stampin’ Up! 2018 Annual Catalog, starting June 1.
