Fancy Friday - Designer Series Paper Love

Hello and welcome back! It's time for this month's Fancy Friday Blog Hop. I'm here with my fancy friends (all current or former members of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team). This month we are focusing on our love for Designer Series Paper, both papers that are retiring and those that are included in the upcoming 2019-2020 catalog. You'll love what you see tonight on our fancy blog hop. We also have a Pinterest board that you can follow. You might have just arrived from my beautiful friend Jennifer's Blog. She always shares such lovely creations!

I decided to highlight one of my favorite packs of paper, the Needlepoint Nook 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper. This paper started with real hand embroidery, which was photographed and turned into these patterned papers. One side has beautiful, multi-color images while the reverse side is cream color thread on solid colored fabric. For each card, I featured the backside pattern in a banner, along with a piece of solid color cardstock die cut with the two border dies from the Stitched Labels Framelits Dies. 

Fancy Friday - For Family Theme

Hello and welcome back! It's time for this month's Fancy Friday Blog Hop. I'm here with my fancy friends (all current or former members of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team). This month we are focusing on families, and making cards to celebrate them and their special days and accomplishments. You'll love what you see tonight on our fancy blog hop. We also have a Pinterest board that you can follow. You might have just arrived from my beautiful friend Susan's blog. She's as much fun as her beautiful creations!

I decided to focus today on the furry members of our families. I made a feline card that could be used to welcome a new cat to the family, and I made a sympathy card for the loss of a canine family member. Pets are such an important part of families, and I think it's great to both welcome them and to mark their passing.

I used the Alpine Adventure bundle of stamps and dies. I love the detail in these products. There are some terrific images of sleds, skis, snow shoes and little accents of holly, a wreath and jingle bells and bows to go with them. There are even three fun greetings! This bundle has everything you need for your Christmas cards.
