Stampin’ Up! Festive Farmhouse

Today I have another card featuring the stamp set Making Christmas Bright.  If you missed yesterday’s card, click here for another idea! 

My sentiment is from Making Christmas Bright and the Designer Series Paper I used is called Festive Farmhouse, both from the Holiday Catalog. I made a second version of the card using the same Designer Series Paper but I changed up the Cardstock colors.  Check it out below.  Which one do you prefer? I definitely have my favorite but I’d love to hear which one you like best!  (more…)

Stampin’ Up! Making Christmas Bright

Welcome to my blog! For the next several days I’ll be featuring the stamp set Making Christmas Bright, currently available in the Holiday Catalog.  This fun stamp set coordinates with the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. Although I didn’t use the punch with today’s card, if you purchase both the stamp set and punch together, you’ll save 10%. Be sure to use the special bundle item number 149947. (more…)

Stampin’ Up! All is Bright

When you find a layout you like, do you try using it for all different types of cards?  I did just that for today’s card! You can see this layout here and here for a completely different type of card.

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Surrounds

Today’s the day!!  You can now purchase all five new products in the Snowflake Showcase! You may be thinking that everything in this showcase will create snowflakes but to create my card today, I used the Snowfall Thinlits Dies! This versatile set of dies works with both the Happiness Surrounds stamp set (the one I used to create the flowers on my card today) and the Snow is Glistening stamp set, all available starting today!  (more…)

Stampin’ Up! Snow is Glistening

I used the Snow is Glistening stamp set and silver embossing to create today’s card to share with you.  My goal was a clean and simple card.  When I showed it to my husband, he said, hmmm, maybe add some color to it? I had originally made an Early Espresso tree trunk but then thought, what the heck, I’m embossing it all.  I also had a silver embossed sentiment on Real Red cardstock but again, kept coming back to all white and silver.  It’s hard to see the beauty of the embossing but hopefully the picture below captures it.
