Stampin' Up! Day of Gratitude and Big Shot Die Leaves #2

Hi there My Stamping Friends, I hope you are all enjoying a relaxing day. Its raining here and if you learn anything about me, it's that I love the rain ....and I love my Stampin' Up! Big Shot! Two things on the same day makes for a very happy stamper.

Today I'm going to share two projects with you. The first is a card that I saw on Stampin' Connection (a site for Stampin' Up! demonstrators to chat about Stampin' Up! and to ooh and aah at everyone elses photos and be amazed at some of the creativity out there in the world) and I had to CASE it. I can't remember who made the card or I would thank them. If it was you, let me know and I'll add in a shout out to you.

For the card I made a mask using the Oval Scallop Frame die and my Big Shot. I sponged

Give Thanks with Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Holidays and Autumn Splendor

Good Morning My Stamping Friends, I don't know what the weather is like where you are right now but here in my corner of Northern VA it is so windy that you can hear it howling and on the way into preschool this morning my youngest daughter said it's 'raining leaves' today. This weather and this day (Veteran's Day) make me VERY thankful. Thankful for the the men and women that fight for our rights and freedoms and thankful that I can be inside to share my stamping with you.

Here is a Give Thanks card using the Stampin' Up! stamp sets Hand-Penned Holidays , Autumn Days & Woodgrain background.

I used:

Stampin' Up! Festive and Fun; Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Card

Hi there My Stamping Friends, I know its probably a little early to start posting Christmas Cards but I love, love, love my new Stampin' Up! stamp sets, particularly Festive and Fun. When I saw Shelli create this Halloween Bookmark at the Stampin' Up! Annual Convention in July 2011 I knew I had to have this set because I am a Halloween Fanatic.

The Holly Jolly and Valentine sentiments sealed the deal. I made this Christmas Card and thought I'd share it with you so you might be inspired to love this set as much as I do. Post a comment and let me know what you think.
