Trimming the Tree

Posted on by

The holidays bring back memories of trudging thru the snow to choose just the right tree from our field. I helped plant those blue spruce seedlings one by one with my father as a young child, stomping on the ground after he poured the water and dirt back around the seedling. That was many years ago and those acres of seedlings are now a forest; unfortunately he didn’t live to see his dream of selling trees for the holidays. But every year as the tree goes up in our home I think of that time we spent together and how much I loved being his helper.

The Trimming the Tree stamp set brings back a flood of memories with it lovely evergreen image.

Such a simple image that evokes years of holidays memories. This card done in Garden Green and Real Red has a simplistic majesty to it.

And did you know that the Trimming the Tree stamp set has a set of coordinating dies that you can get during the Perfect Partners promotion in September? But it separately or buy it in a bundle the choice is yours.

Create lovely cards for the holiday season with the Trimming the Tree Bundle (162522) of products.

Gathered Wheat & More

Posted on by

With the cooler mornings and the hay rolls dotting the fields I think of the fall harvest. So today I’m sharing some lovely cards with you made with sets from our Mini Catalog for the fall. My first swap card that I’m sharing with you uses the Gathered Wheat stamp set (159841) from page 51 of the Mini.

This stamp set not only has a coordinating die set (159842) it also contains some wonderful sentiments that can be used for different occasions.

These next two cards use the Hello Harvest Bundle (159644) from page 50 of the Mini. This first card is a fun easel fold and uses Stampin’ Blends to add color to the images.

And this next fun fold card teams up the die with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (159847) and Stitched Greenery Die (155451). Don’t you love how all our products work together?

The beautiful gold foil pumpkin has an embossed design that is built into the die and it picks up the foiling from the Festive Foils Specialty (159536) paper. Beautiful, right? And this final card is another fun fold.

This card uses the Good Feelings stamp set (158737) and the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (Host 159913)

So simple, but a bright and cheerful thank you card.

Feeling a bit more like fall? Well ready or not here it comes, this year fall equinox falls on Thursday the 22nd.
