So, I'd decided to remove the Mossy Meadow Thankful card but I really liked the repeated shield background so decided to "CASE" that card, making a fancy birthday card using Soft Suede. The gold foil label is a Detailed Bands die. I snipped each side band into a short fish tail. I created a fabric band using the very wide trim from the Come To Gather ribbon combo pack. - Note: I colored the...
After creating 3 green cards in a row I finally had an idea for a fun Night of Navy snowman card. This was super easy to create. I started with a die cut piece of Night Of Navy cardstock cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Next that piece of cardstock was dry embossed using the Woodland embossing folder.
I used Blends to lightly color one of the snowmen images from the Snowman Season stamp set. I...
After completing two green cards I started on a Christmas card. Next thing you know, I'd created a, you guessed it, a green background.
Starting with Mossy Meadow, I stamped a pattern and then used the Layered Leaves dry embossing folder.
Next I cut out the negative of the Tasteful Textures die that looks roughly like a christmas tree. I dry embossed the red with the Subtle...
While at my mom's I had to hussle and finish four Tasteful Texture cards for the NC Stampin' Up! Demo's quarterly get together. As I was finishing a Christmas theme design (Card #3) I realized too late that I used Mossy Meadow, making three green display cards, so this is the one I chose to omit. It is still a cute card however.
I like the So Saffron and Granny Apple Green mats. They...
The next set of posts will include the rest of my display projects. Libby lives full time in North Carolina and she has found a group of demonstrators that meet quarterly. Since she is my team leader and I am a full time traveler, without my own regional group, she invited me to help with display cards for their September meeting.
Here's the first card I created for the Tasteful...
This is the third and final Beauty Abounds project. Again for reference here is the pin we used for inspiration -> pin link. I wasn't thrilled with having to use Blackberry Bliss for the sentiment. For me the ink never dries all the way and being a messy stamper I tend to...
After spending time with the Sweetly Swirled stamp set, Libby and I moved on to the Butterfly Gala stamp set. For inspiration we used this pin -> pin link. Once we chose a pin, we then decided which colors to use as well as the sentiment color.
We made three different...
I wanted to do something a little different with the second Christmas card. I used the same colors but used the small floral icon stamps as a background with HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY stamps randomly applied in the middle. I then created a background using Merry Merlot cardstock with one of the swirled stamped using Merry Merlot in a repeating pattern.

I know it is a little early for Christmas cards, but Libby and I both saw the potential for Christmas themed cards using the Sweetly Swirled stamp set so we made a couple of beginning stamper cards which we then stepped up. These were our last Sweetly Swirled projects for the day. We did not use a pin for inspiration, but we did choose colors to use: Basic Gray, Merry Merlot and Shaded Spruce...
