70 Cards 'Til Christmas #15

This is a card I sent for a Christmas swap through Stampin’ Connection a while ago. It’s vintage, of course, what’s in right now. I love it! I love muted colors, they are so country style. And although I’m not a country girl, I think I have it in my heart.

70 Cards 'Til Christmas #14

For this card, I have been inspired by the cover of our Stampin’ UP! Catalog (a great source of inspiration, I might add).

Sometimes we try to come up with something super different and unique and look for inspiration anywhere, when the inspiration could be at our fingertips! 

I think we need to be constantly on the lookout and when that moment of inspiration strikes us, it’s important to write it down (anywhere, a piece of scrap paper, a napkin) or take a picture. Sometimes, if I like a certain combination of colors, I write them down and use them to make a card.

Anyway, our catalog is amazing! I call it our bible (without disrespecting the Bible). It has it all.

70 Cards 'Til Christmas #9


This is a card that I made for a Christmas swap. The original idea was taken from Mary Fish, and my friend and fellow Stampin' UP! demonstrator Gisela came up with this design. 

To make this gift card holder, cut a cardstock 4 1/4" by 11" and score at 3", 5 1/2" and 8". After you fold it, tape the middle. On the folded edge, cut out a circle with  a 1 3/8" circle punch and next to it punch out enough cardstock (on both sides of the circle) so that a gift card can fit in nicely.
