Christmas Season & more

Are you thinking about the holidays right around the corner? I know I am and there is nothing that gets me in the mood for the upcoming holidays like a bit of nip in the air and stamping my holiday cards and projects. When I first saw it the Painted Christmas Suite of products (156274) drew my eye with all it’s wonderful images and sentiments. After all how can you not connect the holidays with evergreens.

Check out these wonderful cards made with products from the Suite. This first card not only uses the lovely greenery and pine cones it uses the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) to add some interest on the background.

Those fun little Red Rhinestones Jewels (146924) are great to add a bit of shimmer and shine to any project during the holidays! And how about this next card done in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent?

The bow tied out of Linen Thread (104199) adds a bit more to this “country” feeling card. And for a more elegant look, this card uses the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder (151474) and cut out as a back drop for the pinecones and sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set (156362).

I really like how the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (156292) peaks out through the window, how about you? And this last card today uses the wood grain pattern from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) along with the beautiful In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616).

By the Dock & More

Sitting by the water… is there anything more relaxing? I grew up with Lake Michigan close by and always loved to go to the lake front and watch the water lapping against the shore. It really didn’t matter what time of year, each season was always lovely and had it’s own beauty, and they all had the same effect a calming peacefulness. Today’s cards all have that same thing in common water beach or lake they are all great.

These first two cards use our By the Dock stamp set (Retiring 151622)

This set has a great set of dies that coordinate with it too call Dockside (Retiring 151618) and is 60% off right now. And don’t you love the bit of Braided Linen Trim (retiring 147808) on the post of the dock for a bit of texture?

And check out that Braided Trim that has been used again above the sentiment to add a bit of texture again. Pull it apart and you can add it to the side too.

Field Journal

As the leaves turn and the temperatures cool I always enjoy spending more time out side preferably around a camp fire with family and friends. Which made me think so some of the wonderful nature themed sets we have in the Annual Catalog. Today’s card highlights the Field Journal Stamp set found on page 135.

Done in earth tones this card highlights the mallard image from the set. It uses one of the patterns from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper which adds a lot of texture on it’s own, but when it is teamed up with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and the In Good Taste Wood Elements this card wonderful combination of textures which gives it a rich feel.

While the mallard duck is the favorite of mine in the set since I had a pet mallard as a child all of the images will make you feel like you immersed in nature.
