I love the Colorful Seasons Bundle found in the Annual Catalog on page 147. It is part of a complete suite of products that coordinate  so it makes card making quick and easy! The fact that this set has wonderful sentiments and covers all four of our seasons is just an added bonus!

I’ve got a couple of cards I wanted to share with you today that use the stamp set.

And a quick Video tutorial showing you some quick and easy tips for using this set.

Swapping Fun

With all the excitement of the eclipse I didn’t get to post yesterday. Here in North Georgia we were lucky enough to be in the path of Totality so it was rather crazy in our neck of the woods. I had family come to sit in the yard with me and share the experience – what an experience this eclipse was compared to the partial eclipse and cereal boxes we used in elementary school back in the 70’s.

Glasses were sold out so I grabbed my son’s welding mask – a very odd look, but it did work well. LOL!

Anyhow…. on to stamping. Over the next several days I’ll be sharing some of the wonderful swaps I received during my Annual Catalog Swap. So here we go.

This first card using the Inspired Events (143693) is one of my favorites – clean and simply elegant. I love the way embossed image was used.

And how about this card using the Going Far stamp set (143901/143904)? I love the effect of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack (144193) and Pacific Point 1/4″ stitched Edge Ribbon (144199).

And here is a card made with the Floral Statements stamp set (143738/144701)

And finally this card done with the beautiful Graceful Garden stamp set (143846/143849).

This stamp set is part of the Petal Garden Suite found on page 56. The suite if full of wonderful coordinating products that include Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack (144168) that is 6″ x 6″, and even an Garden Trellis Embossing Folder (143741). Perfect for creating all kinds of projects!

Stop on by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more swaps with you.

Team Getaway Fun with the Holiday Catalog!

As I mentioned yesterday I held my team retreat last weekend. It was 3 wonderful days of fellowship, stamping, and laughter. As usual I was a bit remiss in taking photos of us together during the event. (Note to self put a sticky note out to remind me next time. since I get side tracked easily at these events. LOL). But you are in luck because I did take photos of some of the project everyone was working on.

Our group was a bit smaller than normal but that didn’t slow us down any. Actually it was kind of nice since we were able to spread out. You know how it goes 6 feet is never enough space with all those new goodies! Here is a photo of the space set up and ready for everyone to arrive.

Deborah brought this cute little treat for everyone made with the Lemon Zest Bundle (145359/145360).

I can’t wait to make some of these up myself to surprise folks with – that is if I can find the lemon candies. (3 stores already and no luck! Sigh… maybe it is the eclipse and they’ve gone the way of moon pies!)

She also brought this cute little bag she was working on using the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (144613) and Spooky Cat Stamp Set (144749).

And do you see the yummy Basic Black Vintage Crochet Trim (144611)? I can’t wait to start working with it!

And Cindy made these wonderful little post it holders for everyone.

On to cards – Want to see some of the wonderful cards we made in our shoe box swap?

Anna’s uses a couple of the new products from the Holiday Catalog.

I just love the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder (144686), snowflakes are my thing any how, but this card was soooo quick and easy perfect for holiday cards!

And Deborah’s is a new twist on the ever popular Swirly Bird Stamp Set (141749).

And my card – of course it uses the Musical Season Bundle (146048/146049) and Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (144623).

I love the way the french horn cuts out of the Champagne Foil Paper (144748).  You may see this one turn up at my catalog launch (watch for more information coming soon.)

And how about this final card that Cindy made using the Painted Harvest stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. Soft and lovely – I knew I’d end up wanting this bundle when I saw her working with things at the retreat!

And here is a fun note card that Anna surprised me with for my promotion using the Icing on the Cake Stamp Set (143664). I was admiring it while she was stamping but had no clue it was for me – what a surprise!

I have such wonderful stamping friends and team members!

And last but not least how about this cute little thank you card made with the Bella & Friends stamp set (141867/141870)?

So what do you think? Love the new items too in my 2017 Holiday Catalog PreOrder Goodies Video from yesterday (Click HERE to see the video) and today’s projects?
