Notes From Patience

This is a card that I made at a recent card class that I went to.  If you know me very well, you know that I am not really much into the whole Halloween thing. BUT THIS CARD! I have exclusive permission from my friend and downline, Karen Robinson, to post this card on my blog today.  Karen did a wonderful job with coordinating the colors and embellishments for this card.  I love how she incorporated every element of the Magic in this Night Suite.   You can find this suite of products on pages 52-54 in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by.  Email me at patienceholt@gmail.com if you have any questions. Leave me a comment and if you do not have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator that you currently work with, let me know and I will send you a catalog. Have a blessed and safe week. I hope you love the new Mini Catalog and Online Store as much as I do!  Have a question or comment about today’s post? I’d love to hear from you! If you enjoyed

When Stampin' Up! decided to discontinue an adhesive, I wondered what can I use to replace what I have grown to love.  Well, below is a video that Sara Douglas, CEO of Stampin' Up! shared with use on her business Facebook Page.  She reviews each adhesive and shares information about all the wonderful choices from Stampin' Up! The video is on Sara's Business Facebook, Click the graphic below to go there watch! No more wondering when to use Tear n Tape or Seal+ or Liquid Glue.  My favorite is the new Stampin' Seal and Foam Adhesive sheets. Don't forget the Silicon Craft mat.  I use it everytime I craft. See all of the Stampin'Up! adhesives on page 162 in the annual catalog or HERE in my online store.  I also have pictures below.  If you have any questions or comments, let me know.  Also, if you are not already currently working with an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would love to be that person for you!  

I am so excited at how this small gift of thanks has turned out.  The Gilded Autumn Suite of products is one of my favorites and when I saw the Round Tins in the new mini catalog, I knew that I would be making something fun. Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper was my inspiration on the colors that I would use for this tin.  I used the printed paper and used the trio of punches to punch out my leaves and the cute acorn. Early Espresso sentiment from the Beautiful August Stamp Set. I used Stitches shapes and Layering Circle dies to make the layers paper top. I filled my round tin with Hersey Kisses.  A favorite around here any time of year.  The Round ten is can be used to gift your neighbors and friends goodies this holiday season.  There are 4 tins in a pack and they measure 3-3/4" x 1-1/4".  They are silver in color and food safe.  You can shop my online store and find everything you need to make this wonder little gift.  Have a question or comment about today’s p

Today I made 11 cards that was a part of my team Catalog Swap.  Each time a new catalog comes out, we sign up for a catalog swap and duplicate the cards that we see in the catalog.  It is not hard because Stampin' Up! provides you with the "recipe".  This is just one of the many Perks of being a demonstrator.  This beautiful card is featured on page 47 of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.  Everything used in the making of this card is located near the end of this post. When I signed up for the catalog swap, I picked the Gather Together stamp set to use and I also selected the card located on page 47 because I love all the different elements it uses on this ONE card.  Definitely for the AVID crafter.  It was so easy to duplicate.
