All Bundled Up

Cute little forest creatures make up this fun stamp set for the holidays.

The All Bundled Up stamp set (159824) is sure to bring smiles to the receipents face, after all who can resist a cute little forest creature? Check out these cards made using the set teamed up with other products from our Mini. I just love the fun tassel on this guys hat – our In Color Metallic Woven Ribbon (159196) has a knot in the center and then the ends have been frayed.

This fun card has added color to the images using a fun technique called Damp Tipped Watercolor pen ink painting. The technique gives a more textured look. It also added a bit of shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella. Can you see the shimmer on the hat and scarf?

And how about this next card done in blues?

The Adhesive Backed Stars (159965) add a bit of iridescent shine and are beautiful in person. And finally a card with the cute little racoon.

Watercolor Pencils were used to give him a soft feel and the lovely Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (159555) adds a bit of shimmer and shine to the project. And this ribbon is a dream to work with since it picks up the colors from the project you are working on and ties beautifully.

Dogs are always fun and the Christmas Scottie Bundle (159744) makes creating projects easy for this holiday season.

So if you love Scotties or have a friend or family who does this might be a perfect choice for you! check out these fun cards using the Christmas Scottie stamp set (159740) and Scottie Dog Punch (159743). This first card is quick and easy with it’s simple stamping and punching.

Done in Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade it is bright and cheerful. And this next card is done in Parakeet Party. It’s monochromatic so it makes it great for someone who is just beginning their stamp journey.

Want a more traditional holiday look? How about this next card that uses the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) and Santa Express Designer Series Paper (159582)

A bit of stamping was used to create this back drop. Done in Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana it has a fresh fun feel to the card.

And can you see the texture in the background? The Gingham Embossing Folder (157627) was used. And speaking of gingham… The Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper (159651) was used to create this fun classic red and black combination.

Once again the Gingham Embossing Folder was used to add texture to the bow and the Festive Pearls (159963) add a bit of shimmer and shine too.

Christmas Barn

Rolling hills, Blue Spruce, the Lake front, beer battered fish fries, Lannon stone, and red barns. These are all things that remind me of the area I grew up in. I recently returned from my High School Class Reunion and didn’t realize I’d forgotten beautiful it was in Wisconsin. I hadn’t been back home for 27 years, so it was a lot of fun catching with my brother and friends. It also reminded me as to why I enjoy the crash of the waves on the beach and the rolling hills of North Georgia so much. So today I thought I’d share some cards with you that make me think of my childhood.

These first two cards use the Christmas Barn Bundle (159747) from the Mini Catalog found on page 28.

These big majestic barns dot the landscape still and hark back to those memories of Thanksgiving at my Uncle Rodger’s house. He was a dairy farmer and that barn wasn’t far from the house. Of course, the dairy cows set the schedule for life and meals back then for many families.

This next fun fold card uses the Brewed For YOU (159087) stamp set found on page 83 of the Annual Catalog. It also has a set of coordinating dies that can be purchased in a money saving bundle giving you a lot of crafting options. With all the craft breweries popping up here in my area the past years, it’s sure to be a hit.

Prost! (that’s German for cheers) Food always goes hand in hand with local taverns for me that are dotted across the country side, especially the Friday night fish fries with beer batter! Funny the things we remember from childhood, isn’t it?

Here is a picture of my Great Grandfather Roecker’s farm. So many of the old family homes are gone now that I remember from my childhood, but it was a lovely fall day to drive around the country roads with my brother.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards using the Hope & Prayer stamp set from the Annual Catalog.
