Ho Ho HO Santa Hat!

When I saw this santa hat stamp set in the latest catalogue, I was really curious how people would use it to its fullest! I'm tickled at this cute card Stacey prepared for us to make at the recent Shoebox Swap. We stamped it all over a Basic White layer then embossed it. Another bit of stamping and fussy cutting out atop a vellum square really topped this off. The greeting fits on the brim of the hat which is so darn cute.

Can't wait to see what she will come up with next!

Lustrous Leaves Bundle - not just for hot foiling!

Wendy wasn't able to join us at the Shoebox but didn't want to miss out so sent along this stunning fall card. She kindly prepared all the leaves for us using the Lustrous Leaves decorative masks and hot foil die set! I love that you don't need to hot foil to use most of this bundle because the decorative masks do all the heavy lifting then you just cut them out with the regular die that comes with the set. There are also some cute small dies for leaf cut outs that I used on my swap so watch for that to be posted in a few days. Whether you have the hot foil system or not, check out Lustrous Leaves bundle #170559 - I know you will use it again and again for your paper crafting projects!

Neutral Noel Suite makes a gorgeous holiday card

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!

Woodland Wishes meets Luxe Foliage

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!

Garden Tile Versatility

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".
