Another tree set going goodbye. I’ve always like this one too, especially how the leaves stamp separated from the tree trunk. I used the piece of Wood Textures paper that I embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder left over from yesterday’s card. The trunk is stamped with Early Espresso and the leaves are stamped with Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz. I moved the leaves on my Stamparatus before stamping the second layer.

Happy New Year! I’m back today with an alternative for the December 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit. I really wanted to have the year on each of the months and a picture that went with them so here is what I came up with. (My craft table is a mess right now, you will see why when you see how many stamp sets I used.)
I used the retired Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper on a piece of chipboard I saved from the kit. I ALWAYS save my chipboard, you never know when you will need it. The rings are 1/2″ book rings and I used my Crop-a-dile to punch the holes in the chipboard. I cut the chipboard on my guillotine style cutter after adding the DSP (apparently I need to clean the blade to get a sharper cut). The banner for each year is from Pick A Pennant and done using the Stamparatus.

The chipboard is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ front and back. The base is 4″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 1″, 2″, & 3″ then folded as above. I attached the chipboard using Beacon 3 in 1 glue.
I held my Catalog Launch Party over the weekend. I gave out lots of prizes, new catalogs and sold some retiring items. I decided to have a quick and easy make-n-take using the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and the Delightfully Detailed Note Cards & Envelopes. They were so cute I hated to add a sentiment.
Here is what the paper looks like:
I also provided color swatches and a color coach for all attendees.

This past weekend I held a Stamp-a-Stack at my house where we created 12 cards, 3 each of 4 designs. This is the second of the cards I’m sharing this week.
I wasn’t a huge fan of some of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and this was a great way to use the paper but not overwhelm the card. I’m not sure why the Rhinestones appear yellow on all of the cards but I didn’t color them. I was inspired by this card created by Chiaki Haverstick. The new catalog starts this Friday and it has a beautiful new butterfly die that I need to try this with.
