Our host for this month's Shoebox Swap, Dawn, prepared this card for us to all make. It features the Welcome Noel and Noel Tidings bundles (both of which are still sitting on my wish list!) so I was thrilled to be able to play with them. The houses stamp and die cut out beautifully and this layout compliments with the oval, greenery, greeting and rustic twine and colour palette of greens, pecan pie and real red. What a great holiday card to send in the mail!
This cute creation was Holly's shoebox swap card featuring the Woodland Wishes stand alone stamp set. Is this not the most whimsical Christmas card ever? We stamped in black then added a touch of colour with Peaceful Pine and Smoky Slate stampin' blends. The luxurious paper on the back was from the September Product of the Month Luxe Foliage paper pack with gold accents. The ribbon was suggested by Holly's husband - isn't if fun getting more input on our cards? - and then we topped it off with a simple holiday greeting from the stamp set. This was a joy to put together!
Had the most amazing time with my team on October 24th at a Shoebox Swap event hosted by Dawn. Everything was decked out in happy autumn colours, textures and with chocolate while we got together to make each others' cards. My daughter Michelle brought this shoebox which we had a blast making with the Tile Garden Dies by creating both windows, squares and mattes and showing off the coordinating patterned paper. It was also fun that Michelle brought her twin 6 week old son and daughter for "show and share".
So exciting when new Online Exclusive products are in the store and ready to ship! Stampin' Up! designed this card which was one featured at our all demo event calle Creativity Now. It shows off the new Notes of Collage stamp set and die bundle. #169769 for $66.50. With lots of leaf and swirl images, this will be terrific for backgrounds on cards and scrapbook pages. More to share this month from Creativity Now so watch for it!
At the Stratford Crop this weekend, we're going trick or treating around the room. Rather than handing out candy, I thought it would be fun to gift away these funky 3D printed sloth bookmarks. They're quite thin but sturdy and measure about 2 inches by 7 inches. I made just over 50 of them and attached a tag. The sloth is our "mascot" for our crop weekends, so this design couldn't be better. Happy Trick or Treating at your house!
