Advent calendar refresh

 Last year, the Countdown to Christmas advent calendar was a customer favourite and Stampin' Up! included it in the Mini Catalogue again this year. The boxes can be turned around and another design can be created - I have seen some people do a count down to a birthday and even Halloween. I decided to create an alternate design for this years holiday.


I started off by selecting designs from Feels Like Frost DSP, like the calendar, this DSP was also carried over from last years Mini Catalogue. I cut 25 squares measuring 2" x 2" each and then using the retired 1" circle punch, I punch a half circle at the top of each square. I think the most difficult part of the project was deciding the sequencing of the DSP!
Next I cut out the advent calendar numbers using the playful alphabet dies and the Stampin' Up Cut & Emboss Machine or aka Florence by the crafters who come to The Squires Shecave classes! I used purple posy cardstock to compliment the silver and purple shades in the DSP.  When I placed the numbers on the DSP I felt it needed something else, so I cut circles in whisper white and highland heather cardstock using a die from the tasteful label metal dies - these dies are so versatile. I adhered the numbers to each box using dimensions.

To finish off the calendar I added a few snowflakes to some of the boxes.  I used the smallest snowflake die from the snowflake splendor suite and cut snowflakes using purple posy cardstock and silver foil and toped each one with a rhinestone.  I just love how it looks.

Diamond Easel Card

 I thoroughly enjoyed making this card for an extra special lady who is turning 80 soon - one of my regular crafters (she is not on social media so I know I am safe sharing it here!).  At a recent class she had loved the Forever Fern DSP and the colours we had used, so I knew this is what I had to use to make this card for her. The card is a diamond easel fold which is very easy to make, you do need 12"x12" cardstock as you need a 6"x12" piece of cardstock to make the cardbase. I had a pack of in-colour 12"x12" cardstock, so I used a piece of Just Jade as the base colour and then used Pretty Peacock for all the mats. I selected two different DSP designs from the Forever Greenery pack. I used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bouquet of foliage using a variety of green tone inks - Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade. I added a large Just Jade leaf at the back of the bouquet to bring everything together, added champagne foil 80 and finished off ...

Celebrating with other Leaders

I want to share the amazing family and community that Stampin' Up! is.  This past weekend I had the honor to participate in a Leaders Summit for Stampin' Up! demonstrators who are at a certain level in the company.  It was supposed to be held in New Orleans, but unfortunately that was not to be, instead they moved the summit to a virtual platform.  This is Stampin' Up! leadership team . . . I was not sure what to expect, but it was an amazing few days to listen to keynote speakers and other demonstrators.  The day involved various events and opportunities to breakout into small group discussions.  At one of these sessions, I entered the virtual room and there is the CEO of Stampin' Up! - Sara Douglas, that was a complete surprise! My big take away from the event was that Stampin' Up! sees demonstrators as individuals and not as a number, and they want to offer the best possible environment for us to grow. They see the importance of developing relationship...
