Let It Snow - Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

Hello friends, and welcome to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop!  We are the official design team of Stampin' Up!  I'm so happy you're joining me, Shannon, in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  Whether you're coming from the fabulous Rochelle Blok or starting here, I hope you get cozy and share in our creativity this month!

Today's card is a bit fancy, a bit sweet, and a bit rustic - something a little different from my bright and bold Christmas cards!  


I was having a love affair with this colour combination and wanted to play it up in the card - I keep hunting for fabric in these colours because I think it would make a gorgeous quilt!


Let's hop over to the lovely Sylwia in Germany and see what beautiful project she has designed for us!


Thanks so much for stopping by today - and I'll see you again tomorrow with something pretty!

Birthdays for All - Five For All

Hey friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  After a busy few days, I'm sitting down to blog before attacking the wreckage that used to be my craft room (what HAPPENED in here?!) and creating something new for Thursday's Artisan Design Team blog hop - yikes, that sure snuck up on me!  

For today, though, I've got a couple of great birthday cards I'd like to share with you.  These ones are FUN.  And they are EASY.  And they are HUMOROUS.  Basically my favourite kinds of cards.  I'm going through birthday cards at record speed lately (everyone I know is born in this third of the year, I swear!) so I needed a couple more!  


I whipped these up using Five For All, which is a really fantastic (and really underrated!) set from the Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue.  It's full of funny two-part sentiments that are perfect for the ones you love (and the ones you only kind of like.)


This first card - above - is en route to my husband's uncle.  He's a great guy with a killer sense of humor - he'll like this one.

And this one?  Well, I haven't decided yet...


Because when you flip it open, you've got a bonus sentiment - and those require making sure you've got the right person on the receiving end!


Thanks for visiting me today!  I've got a pile of inks, stamps, and paper behind me that I need to attack - buried under there is my desk, I swear - so I can get ready for Thursday morning's blog hop.  See you then!



But wait!  Before you sneak off,  check out what else is going on this month!
