Lights Aglow Perfect for Gift Giving

The Lights Aglow Suite of product is another elegant Christmas suite found in the July to December Mimi catalog that is easy to design with. Here I used Basic Black with the Lights Aglow 6" x 6" DSP and Gold Glimmer Paper with the Snowflake die from the Twinkling Lights Dies. This gift box/bag holds a decent amount of treats and would also be great for jewelry and many other smaller gift items. To punch through all the layers of cardstock and DSP, I used my crop-a-dile by We R. then using my Take Your Pick Took, I ran the beautiful Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon through the holes and tied a bow to seal the box/bag

More Leaves of Holly

 I love working with the Leaves of Holly bundle. No matter the simplicity of the card, the results are always elegant. I had the privilege of sharing this bundle during my Facebook Live/ YouTube Live stream this week. Whether you're die cutting or stamping, your results are amazing and the Festive Pearls add just enough to the embellished look. 

Here I turned the label on it's side in a portrait orientation for a little bit of a different look. I stamped the berries in Real Red ink onto Real Red cardstock and die cut them out to add to the label with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

For the full instructions for these cards, you can catch the replay of the Live Stream right here.

Leaves of Holly Elegance Meets Easy

 Hello friends,

Sorry for going missing these past few days, but time has a way of getting away. I am still dealing with the aftermath of hitting a cow. I had to return my rental as my time had run out but I still don't have my car back yet, so lucky for me, I have an amazing team that I work with in the Nursing Home so I am able to work remotely from home...but the bright spot in ALL of that messiness, I got a new internet provider and OMG! I knew my old internet was slow, but it turns out it was snail slow! My new internet is actually BLAZING fast! It's so cool!

Anyhoo, this card features the Leaves of Holly bundle from the July to December Mini Catalog. I love this bundle as it creates such elegant cards with minimal effort. This particular card was inspired by a catalog sample. Where do you find your inspiration?

Keeping it Simple with Trimming the Tree by Stampin' Up!®

 Hello my friends! 

Today I have a very simple and basic card featuring the Trimming the Tree stamp and die bundle. This set is part of the Perfect Partners promotion by Stampin' Up! which means the coordinating dies are only around until 9/30/22! And I don't know about you, but I am NOT a fan of fussy cutting so having coordination dies is a big deal for me. And what's great about these dies is there are so many extras that aren't just for saving you from the fussy cutting, but for instance in this collection of dies, there are pieces that add texture to your designs, like cutting the "branches" so that you can actually fluff your tree branches for added visual interest and texture in your card, like I did for this one.

I wasn't able to capture the individual cuts made into the branches here in the photo but they are there and the branches are fluffed and it shows nicely in person. 

Check out the texture of the basket! Yeah, that's another "bonus" die in the collection. Again, this was such a simple card, one that would be easy to mass produce and have ready for your Christmas wishes. Let me know if I can help you with your holiday card sending needs.

Happy Stamping,
