I got started stamping with this fun set and couldn’t stop stamping with them. So here is another card for you made with these delightful birds, this time my December Thank You card.
This time I’ve teamed them up with the Crackle Paint Background Stamp to create this “icy” look.
Done in shades of blue I really like the way it turned out. And when you use your Stamparatus they are a breeze to make!

I love these little penguins that you can find in the Playful Penguin stamp set, but then I haven’t met a penguin I don’t like since I was a young adult. LOL!
Today’s card is one that I created for my December birthdays
I’ve used the sentiment from the set for the outside greeting, but chose the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set for the inside since it has tons of choices. And since I’m thinking snow today, I reached for my Pretty Peacock and Pool Party Classic Inks to use – they worked great with the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper gingham pattern!
Did you know this adorable little set is part of the Holiday Catalog Retirement List? Sure enough, so that means it is only available for a limited time and then it will be gone!

Each December my Team holds a Shoe Box Swap and a pot luck lunch during our monthly meeting. It’s a chance to share, enjoy each others company and stamp together.
The table has a holiday flair to it and this year I was able to use the Holiday Catalog inspired Toile Tidings Grid Paper (153984) as place mats for everyone.
In addition I used the Winter Gifts Paper Pumpkin to create quick and easy gift bags to hold their gifts.
These bags included a Team Lanyard with name tags for everyone, along with a special little charm commemorating the event. My Silver team members had a extra little bling added.
While I included a basic name tag for them, I also challenged everyone to create their own name tag showing their personality! It will be fun to see what everyone comes up with next month.
Whew… in addition to our Shoe Box we also made our Make ‘n Takes so there was a lot of stamping going on!
Want to see some of the Shoe Box Swaps now?
This first one is a fancy fold and uses the Inspiring Iris stamp set (149268)
I just love the color combination of Calypso Coral and Basic Gray used for this project.
And here is a fun way to package some hot chocolate using the Cup of Christmas stamp set (150491) and Wrapped in Perfect Designer Series Paper (149596). What fun these candy canes are Oreo flavored and there are some ginger snaps tucked in there too!
And how about this little ornament made with the Merry Moose Bundle and the Night Before Santa Designer Series Paper (150437)?
I really love the fact that Stampin’ Up! will be bringing back this set and the punch next holiday season – You can still order the stamp set (150494) now and then get the punch next year.
And how about this lovely card using the Nature’s Beauty stamp set (150528)?
And this last card is a sneak peek of the special Sale-a-bration stamp set, Little Ladybug, that you can earn for Hosting a private class or party.
Why not set up a time now for January to gather with your friends? Sale-a-bration is a great reason to gather together with friends and stamp!

What a great surprise it is to find my Paper Pumpkin Kit in my mail box every month – it’s a little taste of crafting happiness as I open the box. The kit this month coordinating with the lovely cards from October, but it was a stand alone kit with it’s 24 Tags.

I just fell in love with this bold Poppy Parade cardinal piece that was included.

Before we gather together to give thanks today with family and friends I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to you.

This set is perfect with its sentiments that express to those around us just how thankful we are for them.
As I gather with my family tomorrow, I am acutely aware of just how lucky I am in all the areas of my life. My hope is as you celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow you too have safe travels and will enjoy the time with those around you too.
The Come to Gather Suite (153484) is filled with rich color and textures. Here are a few cards using the products in this Suite that I wanted to share with you.
This next card uses the combines the images from the Come to Gather Suite with a sentiment from the Frosted Foliage stamp set (150520) to create a warm wonderful card.
And finally a card that uses the Seasonal Wreaths stamp set. I really like this wreath that is made up of oak leaves, flowers and berries great for a number of seasons. You can find this set on page 59 in our Holiday Catalog.
Today I’ll be sharing a few more swaps that I received from folks during the OnStage event in Atlanta along with my sneak peek of the goodies I received from the 2020 January – June Mini Catalog Product Purchase Premiere!
I’ll start with the swaps first all of these sets can be found in our 2019 Annual Catalog. Swapping cards is a way for us to share and meet other stampers and I always love the variety of cards. This first card uses the Accented Blooms stamp set (151336).
And this next card uses one of my favorite sets Back on Your Feet (149385) – seems like I’ve needed lots of get well cards this year.
And how about this fun tropical feeling card – perfect for warming up that cold arctic blast we were experiencing last week. The Tropical Chic stamp set (148226) has a set of coordinating dies which makes it a lot of fun to use.
And a fun card that uses strips to create a colorful back ground and it uses
the Love What You Do stamp set (148042) which has some wonderful sentiments in it. And here is a card made with our Butterfly Beauty Dies (148536) and the Butterfly Gala stamp set (148580) two very popular products.
And how about this next card using the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (151345)?
My final swap to share with you today uses the Winds of Change Stamp set (149357),
Got a favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best?

Today I thought I would share some of the Holiday Catalog swaps that I received during OnStage in Atlanta last weekend along with some more pictures.
I am going to begin with a 3d items I received – a cute tic tac holder using the Perfectly Plaid Suite of Products (153326). Absolutely adorable and perfect to give a little something!
And here are a couple of lovely cards. This first one uses the Perfectly Pines stamp stamp set (149418) teamed up with our Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper 9149478) from the Annual Catalog.
It is a square card that has a fun fold and opens a bit differently. Slip off the belly band and here is what you have.
fun, right?
And how about this elegant card using the Light & Peace stamp set (150516)?
Done in Blackberry Bliss it uses our Champagne Foil Sheets (144748), Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder (149575) along with our Silver (109131) and Shimmer Black Embossing Powders (149512).
These pictures just don’t do justice to these projects. (I’m still getting use to my camera and am really missing my old phone lol)
CentreStage
Friday night, Leaders gathered for what we call CenterStage, this is an event that includes a lovely evening of pampering before OnStage.
Susan and I stopped for a snap shot before going in. Who would have thought all those years ago she would inspire the dream of becoming a leader and earn an Incentive Trip. My husband Larry, joined me for the meetings after work regularly 10 years ago since we car pooled to his job after we moved. During one of the meetings, Susan spoke about the Alaskan Cruise which was the incentive trip that year. On the way home I can remember Larry asked me if I could do that to. I said yes, anyone could. He was so excited by the idea and has patiently supported me over the last 10 years as I worked toward this goal – and here I am! I am so appreciative and blessed to have earn the Maui trip and he’s soooo excited too!
I truly enjoy CentreStage as it is smaller and a chance to connect with old friends and meet new friends. Here I am with Lori whom I met during our first Atlanta OnStage years ago
And Barbara whom I’ve been doing my organized swaps with for years.
Stampin’ Up! is always very generous and there is always a special gift for us at the table
Our swag bags that include the NEW January – June Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration Brochure, Squeal!!!
And we have a chance to hear news about what is going to happen and speak with the folks from the home office.
Here I am with Tanner, who is over the Southeast Area. I think it is always fun to see the people we work with online. Don’t you?
Just a little taste of what last Friday was like. Stop back by – I’ll be share more swap swaps and more!

Last week I held my monthly Team Meeting, it is one of my favorite days of the month. We gather, share, stamp, and enjoy time with each other. I’m blessed with a wonderful team that is also a great group of stampers. Because we all have been stamping for different lengths of time and have different styles, I always look forward to seeing what they have been creating.
Want to see? The theme for our swap this month was fall and none of the projects disappoint!
Here is a great treat box with a drawer that slides out
filled with a banana Twinkie, yum.
And a cute little sticky note holder using our Stitched Nested Label Dies.
And here is a quick and easy wrap for some mini chocolate bars – the sentiment is from the Painted Harvest stamp set found in our Annual Catalog.
And a few more cards
Pat created this next project using our Copper Embossing Powder and the trifold card measurements I shared with you earlier
And this final card uses our Gift of Fall Add On Note Card, the coordinating Paper Pumpkin stamp set, along with the Seasonal Layers Dies and Rectangle Stitched Dies.
I love the way that our Paper Pumpkin Kits coordinating with our products, allowing us to have even more options.
And of course every team meeting includes celebrating accomplishments, stamping, and learning new things too.
We’ll be heading off to our Stampin’ Up! #OnStage event this weekend, a first for many on the team, so you’ll want to stop back by to see what that’s all about. Stampin’ Up! events are always a lot of fun, a chance to meet others who love to stamp, and learn new things, and of course prize patrol is always a hit with everyone!
