Gingerbread & Sugared Things

This 'n' That

4 Sep

One of the stamp sets we got for going to convention was "Sweet Season", seemed to me like we got lots more sets this year, I know that I (not bragging) came home with more then years before (we get sets for awards night if we meet certain Stampin' Up! goals), now in my old age I am learning to pack better and didn't run out of room like in past years, where I was like "where am I putting all this stuff to get it home?"…ha!

Anyway I loved the saying in the set, and not just for the cute saying but the look of it, I like the writing and the printing together. Plus I used the house on a card stamp in a past post as well.

116471L Here is the stamp set "Sweet Season" #116471 $18.95

Cute eh? It works awesome with our punches, and it is "sugared sweet" for tags and what-nots.

Another of the sets that we got for going to convention was "Tree Trimmings", and I used the two sets together to make my card posted today.

This was actually one of the make n takes from convention, (I think that I added the white on the edges with the white craft pad, I don't remember them saying to do that).

I sat down today and cleaned up my work table and did some of them…not all though, some I just kept the cardstock and embellishments and they will be used on something else.

116722L Here is the "Tree Trimmings" set #116722 $14.95, and I have used just a few ornaments on my card here.

We are also using this set in my upcoming 10/10/20 Christmas card class.

Wanna see the card? I can stop me blabbering for a minute.

DSCN9139 copy Stamp Set: Tree Trimmings, Sweet Season

Paper: Kraft, Whisper White

Ink: White craft, Real Red, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip

Misc: 3/4" polka-dot grosgrain real red, clear rhinestone brads

If you look closely, I took the rhinestone out of the brad.

DSCN9140 copy Here it is so you can see it better, sometimes I don't want the silver edge on the "bling". It is simple to do, not so nice on your fancy manicure but hey what we suffer for bling, is worth it. I just attached it with a mini glue dot.

DSCN9142 copy Simply bend back the brad legs and bend back the little tiny prongs that are holding in the bling and it will pop out. Here is a regular brad and then the left over bent back piece that the bling came out of.  Now I can be frugal and re-use things and I know all about being green, but I do not keep the brad left over metal, it goes in the trash.  Just be careful when you bend back the little prongs that you don't scratch the back of the rhinestone as it will leave scratches which sometimes you can see from the front.  That is why your fingernail works better then something metal…just be careful, I mean you wouldn't want to do a whole package but just once in a while ya know?

I have never offered a Stamp kit on here before, so I am gonna try one.  If you live in the US (I can't take orders from outside the US), and you order Tree Trimming ($14.95), Sweet Season ($18.95), a pack of Kraft cardstock ($7.50), Kraft envelopes ($6.50), mini glue dots ($4.95) and the clear rhinestone brads ($10.95) – you will get a FREE roll of the 3/4" polka-dot real red grosgrain ribbon ($8.95 value). You will be responsible for your own tax and shipping and that will be calculated based on where you live.  Does this sound good?  You can call it "Di's Sugared Sweet Kit".  All you have to do is email me at digibbs@stampingwithdi.com and I can take care of the rest.  You can use Mastercard, Visa or Discover. You will not be able to do the on-line ordering yourself since the special is through me only, the system will not understand about the free ribbon.This special kit is only through me, and not Stampin' Up!, and will expire on September 8, 2009.

Give me a holler if you have any questions.

Have a great Friday and thanks for stopping in!

A digibbs siggy

    That's a nice one. I was looking at that set…the ornament one. They would look really pretty embossed.

    Luv ya

    No, they didn't mention the sponged white edges, and it is a great addition! Guess it's not too late to go and 'fix' mine!! Thanks for the idea. 🙂

    You know, you don't have to throw away the brad part of the rhinestone brads when the rhinestone is taken out. You can use the empty brad part for eyes on something or something that looks like eyelets. I saw a card that the empty brad was used on the skull set we have (Rock Star or something). It fit perfectly.
    I absolutely lover your blog and look forward to reading it everyday, it makes me laugh (usually). I love your sense of humor a lot!!! 🙂

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
