Stampin' Up! Christmas Messages

Well our November is quickly coming to an end and our last club of the month met this week.  Wanted to share this way cute card we made!  I was inspired by a card I saw from Carrie Rhoades.  I see these stars made ALL the time and thought they would be too difficult to attempt, but they are super easy!

 Supplies used:  Cherry Cobbler ink and cardstock, Old Olive cardstock, Christmas Messages stamp set #131793, and Season of Style DSP stack #132181.

Here's how to make your star.  Create a template with what size star you want.  Trace it onto your cardstock and cut out.  Don't worry about it being perfect, once its folded you won't really notice it.

Using either your cutter with scoring blade or a ruler with stylus (like I did), you want to score lines from the point of the star to the "valley" directly across from it. I found it easier to rotate my star as I did it, so point straight up, score, turn to next point straight up.  Etc, until you've done all 5 points.

Your score lines should look like this (I drew lines so you could see the score lines better for the picture).  Notice how all the lines should intersect in the middle.  Fold at all the score lines make sure you have a nice crease.

I found to make sure you have mountains and valley, you want to accordian fold the star.

You can only accordian fold 3 points at a time, so you'll have to turn it a few times including the last point in the next accordian fold.

And at the end you should have these.

I adhered each point down to my card with glue dots to help it keep its shape and keep it in place.

Super cute and super easy!

Now go make your own card!

Stampin' Up! Greetings of the Season

Can you believe that Christmas is like 6 weeks away??  YIKES!  Well, I don't know if you were aware but you can still get the awesome stamp set Greetings of the Season.
I wanted to try my hand at the sunburst design that has been going all over and its super easy!

So we made this card last month:

We used the awesome designer series mini stack Winter Frost #132183 out of the holiday mini. 
Basically you just need a scrap panel to lay your strips on.  So you pick the size of panel you want to build (this one is 3 3/4 " x 2 3/4").  Cut 4 DSP strips 1" x 4" and you cut each of those strips into triangles on your cutter.  You know from one corner to the opposite corner, so it forms a triangle.  Now you have 8 triangles.  I used our awesome glue stick on the whole piece of scrap.  And start from the middle and work you way out.  You'll end up with a bunch of the DSP sticking over the edge of your scrap but you just trim it away.  Easy peasy.

Funny thing is my club gals do swaps and a couple brought swaps of the same technique, pretty funny huh?
So here's a picture of one that Lesley Blum brought for her swaps.

Now go try this yourself!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Wow!  I'm so sorry, I've been away awhile.  My little family all got very sick and it appears I never finished my 12 days of Christmas! 

So I'm going to throw some Christmas projects out that were either sent to me or I did for a class.

First off, I just wanted to share, Sage was dying to go sledding before her Christmas break was over, so we headed over to my step-dad's house, cause he lives on a hill.....and even though it was FREEZING out, Sage had so much fun.

Yes, that was her sled (and her cousins sled) when she was like 3.  My stepdad insisted it would work better than her saucer but I didn't think she could still ride it in but she fit and it went fast!  Made me laugh!

OK, my first card is from Sheri Belanus, she sent it to my family for Christmas.  I think she did an awesome job!

 

 

This next picture is of the starting of my Christmas Tree forest.  I got the idea from Qbee's Blog.  I made about 20 of these to give to family, friends and co-workers.  Are they not the cutest?

And this final picture is of what I made for a gift exchange with my "church ladies" club.  We decided to skip the workshop for December and do a handmade gift exchange.  I got this idea from Andrea Wolford, but changed it up just a little bit.

I hope you all had a wonderfully fabulous Christmas and may your New Year be everything you hope for!

Good Evening!
I hope you all had a relaxing Labor Day!  It was a busy fun time at the Walworth County Fair.  Its so bitter sweet, because we love the fair but it means the end of summer.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and visited with Edwin or I.   I love meeting new people and seeing people I haven't seen in a while and catching up!

I even met an old old friend who I went to 2nd and 3rd grade with!  She recoginzed me after almost 40 years!  I was totally blown away.  Just wonderful memories!

So as usual I was lame and didn't bring my camera.  BUT I went to visit my demo friend, Kristen Evert, a couple weeks ago and she had just had her Holiday Open House and I actually had my camera with me!!  So I asked if I could snap some pictures of her awesome projects. 
So here you go....enjoy!  Don't forget you can order all these wonderful products online at www.robynscherzer.stampinup.net.

Swaps to Share

Once again, I'm going to try to be better about posting on a more regular basis (wish me luck!)

I thought I would share some swaps that I saw at convention.  These swaps are NOT in my possession, I snapped pictures of my friend LeeAnn Greff's swaps and do NOT know the name of the artist.  So if you recognize one of your swaps please shout out so I may give you the appropriate credit.  Thanks for sharing!
