10.27.19…..Happy Sunday, everyone! October has almost come to a close, and it’s already time for another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop! For this Sunday’s hop, we are featuring the Itty Bitty Christmas Bundle from the 2019 Holiday Catalog.

This is such a fun, festive bundle, and I love that it includes three large dies, as well as four mini dies. For both of today’s projects, I used one of the large dies from the bundle, and also combined it with a couple of sentiment stamps from the Snowman Season Bundle. I’ve also included complete instructions underneath each project, so you can scroll right to the project that suits your fancy and start creating!

10.02.19…..Welcome to Wednesday, my stampin’ friends!  Halloween is upon on us, and I today I wanted to share a Halloween card To Every Season Bundle (from the 2019 Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog).  This is such a fun, versatile set!  It not only includes images, sentiments, and punches for Halloween…..but Fall, Thanksgiving, Winter, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day as well.  If you don’t have this set yet, you’ll want to order it soon and start creating your projects for all of the upcoming holidays!

For the Halloween projects I shared with you a couple of weeks ago, I used very non-traditional color combos.  However…..this week I’m going “old school” and using Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black.  Gotta love it!!!
