Oh. What. Fun.....

 Hello friends,

It's the time of year when people are in a hurry to get all their Christmas shopping done, putting up the tree, making a list of things to buy for Christmas dinner, and wrapping. Whew! Today's card is a take on what some of us are feeling during this season.

I took out some "non" Stampin' Up! items from my stash, to make this cute card.  I did use our cardstock for the base, but the stamp is from Unity Stamps and the designer paper was a small piece I found at the bottom of a box, so I have no idea where it came from.  If you're a crafter, you know the feeling. We have so many things that we discover when we're cleaning, it's almost like Christmas all over again! New finds, and many that bring a smile to our faces.  Here's my card:

The inside of the card says Oh. What. Fun.   Isn't that the cutest?  When I saved this card to my pictures file, I titled it "Old Folks Christmas" which is pretty fitting for me.  We will have a very quiet and warm Christmas here, at least in the house.  I think we'll find a Netflix movie to watch, while Dale takes a snooze on the couch, as he always does.

I've listed the supplies I used that are Stampin' Up! and if you would like to order anything, just click on the item and it will take you to my online store.  I am still giving away a gift for any size order, and if your order is $ 75 before tax, you'll be entered into my drawing for a free stamp and die bundle.  Check out the Ordering Bonus tab to see what I'm giving away.

I will have more to show you, so I hope you'll subscribe to my blog posts, so you don't miss a thing. In the meantime, stay warm, stay cool (no stress), and enjoy this Christmas season.  Hugs to all!

'Tis the Season

 Today I am sharing a card that was designed by Lynn Dunn at Stamptastic Designs.  She is a demonstrator in Wisconsin, and I loved her card so much I cased it.  Case means "copy and share everything", and it's perfectly okay to copy others and as we do, we give credit to the original owner. Here's the card:

Sometimes as we case, we may put our own spin on it, but I didn't do that this time.  The card is perfect just see some of Lynn's projects, you can click on this link:  Blog - Lynn Dunn - Stamptastic Designs LLC

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time, happy stamping. 😊

Merry & Bright for the Holidays

 I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.  If you are traveling, I hope your travel plans are working out.  In parts of the country, the snow has hit hard.  Here in Missouri, no snow yet, but it's getting a bit windy.  The leaves are mostly off the trees here, and although my beautiful red maple didn't get red this year, the leaves are off and now laying all over my front yard.  Good thing I have a leaf blower!

On to my card for today.  The Sign Design stamp set has a matching punch which makes it very easy to create a quick card for just about any occasion.  That's exactly what I wanted to achieve when I added this card to the others when I hosted my stamp camp this month.

My card base came together quickly because I used the Embossed Designs Mix & Match Specialty Cards & Envelopes.  There's 10 card bases with matching envelopes in two embossed designs. One is of stripes as shown here, and the other is polka dots.  The cards are a bit larger than an A2 card, but they still can be mailed without extra postage. 

A sprinkling of Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints and a few of the Faceted Snowflakes add just enough sparkle and fun.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have a great weekend.

Tidings of Joy

 Today I'd like to share two cards I made with the Joyful Tidings stamp set.  This set has two beautiful images of greenery with pinecones, fruit and berries. 

 I colored the image above with Stampin' Blends using Shaded Spruce, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Medium Deep Combo  

For this image, I stamped in Mossy Meadow and colored the berries in Cherry Cobbler.  The designer paper is from my stash, not Stampin' Up!

These cards came together quickly.  I am a font girl, and this stamp set has pretty sentiments with great fonts.

Be sure to check out our Last Chance and Black Friday sale soon, as items are moving fast, and will not be replaced during this sale.  The Black Friday sale ends on December 1st and all of our Stampin' Blends are on sale at a great price.  If you love to color, you won't be sorry if you order them.   To see all the blends I used, click on the product images below and you can add them to your cart if you wish.

Also remember to OPT IN for Rewards and Contact.  You will get 10% rewards to use on future orders and if you opt in for contact, I will be able to send you our next annual catalog for free.  I also give a FREE GIFT to any size order when you shop with me.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Have a beautiful Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Be safe.  Friday I will have more to share.
