Humble Home

The Humble Home Bundle is such a cute & useful set to have in your collection.  The little house could be used in so many ways, not just Christmas.  Think about Housing Warming, Bridal Showers, Thank you cards, the possibilities are endless.

In the card I made today, I focused on a Thank you card for coming to our house, perhaps for a Christmas party or pre-holiday get together.  Using the Christmas colors gave it the feel of Christmas but you could change this out for any occasion.

More Than Autumn and Coffee with Friends

 When you think of Autumn...does it conjure up memories of hot cocoa, warm apple cider, pumpkin pie.  Going to the pumpkin patch, carving your jack o' lantern?

More than Autumn gives us a glimpse of all of these things

Frozen Edges Christmas Card

 There is something magical about a snowflake, a new fallen snow where everything stops and the night is silent.  I love the snow...I always have & always will.  Of course I live in the south so I don't see too much of it's beauty but that makes me appreciate it all the more when God graces us with a white blanket of beautiful crystals.

Frozen Edges brings that feeling into my heart and so does this card.  I did it in red but it would be beautiful in Blues, Greens, Whites or any color you can images.  What about lavenders and pinks...yes it would still be glorious.

I just love the beauty of this.  It is a simple card but it delivers so much cheer.

Triangle Card-Easel Card-Fun Fold featuring Winter Meadow DSP

 Winter Meadow just brings happy thoughts of snow lined hills and rolling meadows once covered in green but now glistens with the crystals of winter, snow, ice and the glistening beauty of winter.  

I am a believer that every season has it own beauty and many times winter isn't one of them until God graces us with snow and ice.  Then we see, hear and smell the glory of WINTER.

Winter Meadow DSP (designer series paper) evokes all those wonderful emotions.  This card is the perfect backdrop for this paper.  

This card may look hard to make but it is so easy and has that WOW factor we all want from our cards.

Pumpkin Girl Featuring Warms My Heart Stamp Set

 It's beginning to feel a lot like FALL Y'ALL!!!  Nothing depicts fall like this card does.  We have our farm girl gathering pumpkins with the fall leaves swirling in the back ground.

This was a fun card to make with the technique of making die cuts one with the paper by simply using an embossing folder after adhering the leave to the cardstock.

Apple Pickin' Fall Card

 Fall is such a special time of the year for me.  I love the reprieve from the hot & humid weather of summer....cool mornings, warm sun shining through the beauty of changing leaves.  Seems that each season offers us a special blessing directly from God's hand.  

I often think of going to the mountains to pick apples or I should say to buy apples.  There are lots of orchards in the hills of North Carolina and nothing is a sweet as a fresh picked ripe apple.

In this card I wanted to highlight the season of fall with our girl who has a basket full of freshly picked apples.

Sophisticated Sled in a snowbank

 Sophisticated Sled in a Snowbank

Oh the joy of a bright winter day, sun shining, snow glistening and a fun-filled day of sledding.  Does that bring back childhood memories you now long for?  Hot cocoa, a warm fire in the fireplace awaiting the chilled fingers & toes of all the children.  Wet gloves, boots & socks all drying by the fire.  Giggles of children recalling the events of the day, slipping and sliding in the snow......awwww those were the days.

Make a Scene with Die Cuts & Fussy Cuts

 Make a scene!!!  That doesn't sound like something most of us would want to be a part of but in the cardmaking world it is a good thing.  Using products you already have and putting them together to make a wonderful picture (aka scene) is so much fun.  It could be almost like putting a puzzle together only you get to make each piece using your creativity and imagination.

I let my imagination go wild and came up with this cute layout for a fall card.  Using several different products such as Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set, Under the Moon stamp set, Autumn Leaves stamp set & Frosted Forest Dies.  Added some different colors of cardstock and we have a cute card that reflects the changing seasons.

Lovely & Sweet Elegant Card for any occasion

Christmas Paper can make a Birthday Card

 Many times we limit our creativity by thinking we have to use certain paper for just one kind of card.  Such as the card I made today.  I wanted to show that you can use Christmas paper and Christmas colors to showcase other occasion cards as well.  I made this one into a birthday card and yes the paper I used was from the Christmas Collection that is now available online through the "ONLINE EXCLUSIVES."  

I thought it would be fun to try this and I really love the way this turned out.  Sometimes it is so much fun to think outside of the box and let go and do something very unpredictable.  

You could certainly make this into a Christmas card by simply changing the sentiment.

I brought in a new bundle that will appear in the Mini Catalog that will be available for you to order from on September 3, 2024.  Regal Flora is a darling set of stamps, dies, specialty paper, ribbon, gems, and DSP.  Or if you only want the stamps & dies you can bundle just those items and get a 10% discount over purchasing separately.

Light The Year Christmas Card

 Awwww......Christmas Cards Galore!!  It is that time of the year even if you aren't in the mood.  Christmas is the one time of the year that we send out the most cards at one time.  And the post office tells us that they should go out by December 15th.

That give us 125 days from today (August 12, 2024) until we need to have all our cards finished and mailed.  Not to mention we all have a life outside of the craftroom, families to attend to, chores to do, errands to run....and the list goes on and on.

It sounds exhausting so why not start early.  Our new Mini Catalog with all the beautiful fall and Holiday items premiers on SEPTEMBER 3, 2024.  Be sure to check out all the new products Stampin' Up has designed for us to make our beautiful one of a kind cards.
