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.

Fancy Friday - Christmas-y Challenge

So, today I have a set of Christmas tags. I used the Farmhouse Christmas Photopolymer Bundle of stamps and dies to create these. I stamped the main images in Black Memento Ink, and colored them with our Stampin' Blends markers. We have so many wonderful colors now, including the ones in the holiday catalog.

Fancy Friday - Case the Occasions Catalog Challenge

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)! The challenge this month is to case the Occasions Catalog. We're featuring several projects from the current Occasions Catalog that we have copied. You're in for a creative treat, so be sure to circle all the way around the hop. We also have a Pinterest board that you can follow. You might have just arrived from Cindy's blog. Did you see her fun project?!

This a box (I think) that I chose to case. It's simple, but sweet.

And here is my card. I cased what is a box I think from page 54 of the catalog. It had a little strip of ribbon, a piece of stamped paper and a stamped background. Plus, I loved the addition of baker's twine and sequins, two of my favorite embellishments!

Ok, on to the next stop with my good friends Sue Plote!

Fancy Friday - Paper Perfect Challenge

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)! The challenge this month is the Paper Perfect Challenge. We're featuring several of the patterned papers from the current Occasions Catalog. You're in for a creative treat, so be sure to circle all the way around the hop. We also have a Pinterest board that you can follow. You might have just arrived from Krista's blog. Did you see her fun project?!

I'm featuring the Tutti Frutti Designer Series Papers in my cards. I also copied my favorite card from the Sale-a-bration brochure. It featured the Party Panda Stamp Set and these papers, along with this card layout. These cards also use the Fruit Basket Photopolymer Bundle of stamps and coordinating punches.

This first card has a citrus theme, and I used the stamp and citrus slice punch to fill the bowl with punched images. One of my favorite embellishments from this catalog is the Tutti-Frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins, featured on all three cards.

For my second card, I stamped several strawberries in the basket, but also punched two to layer on top. I love the sentiments cut up in this way. It matches the fun feel of the patterned papers.

My last card features this fun berry patterned paper. I stamped the bowl, but cut berries and leaves from the patterned paper itself to fill the bowl. I really love these papers. There are some busier patterns, which make a good focal point, and several geometric patterns which make the perfect accent. And, there are lots of fruit images to cut out and feature as well.

 

Well, that is all for me today. But, click on the button below to move on to Jenn Picard and her beautiful projects!
