Fall Fiesta Cards - Part 3

 


Happy Tuesday!

I have some more Fall Fiesta cards to share with you today. 

If you are new to my blog, the 4th Fall Fiesta was a card-making event held in Neillsville, Wisconsin, on Oct. 29. Over 20 stampers attended, and we spent the day making 18 cards, enjoying each other's company and learning from one another. I have attended all 4 of them and hope to participate again next year.

Now, on to the cards . . .

These 2 cards feature the Christmas Scottie stamp set and matching punch. Aren't they fun?
As you see, the one with the brightly colored background paper is a "fun fold."




And here is the inside of the blue and black card -

In my previous blog, I showed you one card made with the Splendid Thoughts stamp set. Here is the other card that was at the same table.


I haven't stamped a verse inside the card yet, leaving some flexibility as to what occasion I might use it for.


Another table had these 2 Christmas cards using the Sweet Candy Canes stamps and coordinating die set.


I've still got a few more cards to share from the event. Hopefully I'll get them posted by the end of the week.

Happy Stampin!

Arborwood Christmas Cards for November

 


Hi Stampin' Friend,

It's a chilly rainy day here in Central Wisconsin - perfect stamping weather!

Today I am bringing you the cards we will be making at Arborwood Lodge this week. We're featuring Christmas cards this month and next, so the residents will have some handmade cheer to share with their family and friends.

The first card uses some non-traditional colors inspired by Stampin' Up's Santa Express Designer Series Paper. (Just FYI - The die-cut tree and words on the front are not Stampin' Up!)



And the inside words are from a past Paper Pumpkin kit - 


For the color scheme on our second card, we will go back to the classic Christmas favorites which are in the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. All the stamps are from the Peaceful Deer set. 

Don't miss the gold holly leaves accents on the card front. These and the Designer Series Papers are in the July to December 2022 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog and available through the end of the year, or while supplies last.





Happy Stampin!

Fall Fiesta 2022 Cards - Part 2

 


Hi Stampin' Friend!

Are you ready for the next round of Fall Fiesta cards?

Here they are!

These 2 harvest-themed cards were designed by my friend and Stampin' Up! upline, Cindy Ehlers. I love how she used the die cut on the pumpkin card to add interest.





Here is a peaceful sympathy card.



Many more cards still to come! Be sure to visit my blog again soon.
