12.19.18…. Happy Wednesday, my Stampin’ friends!  As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’m using the last week before Christmas to share just a few more cards.  That being said, I created another card with the Winter Woods Bundle.  I love the versatility of this bundle!  I’m also super excited that the Winter Woods stamp set and coordinating In the Woods Framelits set will be carried over AFTER the 2018 Holiday catalog comes to an end on January 2, 2019.  (FYI:  After January 2^nd, both products will be sold separately, and not as a bundle.)  So…..if you happen to miss out on these fabulous products, you’ll still have an opportunity to order them after the holidays are over.

12.18.18….. I don’t know about y’all, but I just love the Hearts Come Home stamp set.  It is the sweetest little set (with its tiny houses and trees), and it just really evokes cozy, holiday memories for me.  By the way, this set is in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, so it will still be available after the holidays.  Yay!

12.18.18….. It’s hard to believe that Christmas Day will be here in just one week!  Since past few weeks have just flown by, I decided that I’d try to squeeze in a few more holiday cards while I can.   So here you go, my Stampin’ friends…

11.25.18 …..I hope all of you survived Thanksgiving weekend, and were also able to enjoy some time with friends and family.  Once I finally had some free time this weekend, I couldn’t wait to start creating some holiday cards and projects.  One of my favorite bundles from of the Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog is Winter Woods (Winter Woods stamp set + In the Woods Framelits).  It’s really versatile and can be used for everyday projects as well. If you don’t have this bundles already, it is defintely one you don’t want to miss out on!

1.03.18…..Ok my stamping friends, I realize it’s already November, and the Christmas season is upon us (…especially if you been to your local mall lately).  However, I’m still trying to soak in those last few of weeks of Fall, and remembering that we still have Thanksgiving to celebrate and to appreciate all of the many blessings I have.  So…I just had to make another card with the Country Lane Designer Series Paper.  And, yes…if you haven’t noticed, I’m obsessed with it!  The color combinations are absolutely gorgeous….from Blackberry Bliss and Crushed Curry, to Mint Macaron and Early Espresso, and even Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.  I love them all!

11.03.18…..The title of this blog post should really be “enjoy the seasons” (…instead of “season”).  I know many people have a favorite season, but I just really do love both the Fall and Winter seasons equally!  That being said, I wrapped both seasons up in this one little card, and used a mix of seasonal products.  The Country Lane Designer Series Paper has an Autumn Harvest feel, while the Winter Woods Bundle obviously has a Winter theme.

10.28.18…..While this is the time of year that we always focus on being thankful, I think we would all agree that the best time of year to be thankful is…..always!  That being said, I started this card with the “Thanks” sentiment, which had ended up in a corner of my craft table (along with several bits and pieces that I ended up not using on other projects).  I challenged myself to  “repurpose” some of those bits and pieces, and pulled them together to create this card.  I hope this card inspires you to do the same!

09.09.2018….. This weekend just about slipped away from me!  I can’t believe it’s already Sunday afternoon, and I wanted to make sure that I shared this card with you before the weekend was completely over.  I truly love every color that Stampin’ Up! has to offer, but I’m especially fond of the Subtles color collection.  The soothing, pastel shades really speak to me!

08.26.18….. OK, let’s just get right to it, my stamping friends!  I know what your thinking.  Thanksgiving is still three months away, and she’s already posting a seasonal card!  I can explain…..

As a SU demonstrator, I was able to pre-order from  the new Stampin’ Up! 2018 Holiday Catalog.  (Customer orders can be placed between September 5 – January 2, 2018.)  This new catalog is chockful of so many amazing products!  That being said, I pre-ordered several items from the Country Lane Suite, which has a country/harvest theme, and I just couldn’t wait to get going on some new Fall projects.

I also couldn’t wait to create a card for the latest Global Design Project (#GDP152 – CASE the Designer), so I decided to incorporate that into my card design as well.

08.18.18….. Welcome to the weekend, my stampin’ friends!  I had planned to make this card last month, around the Fourth of July, but I got busy working on other projects and just never got around it.  Better late than never, right?  While I used a patriotic color combo on this card, it’s a unique birthday card for any time of year!
