Christmas Means More

 Yesterday I was working on the card for today's post and couldn't decide on which paper combination I liked more.  So, I posted a photo of both paper combinations on my Facebook page yesterday evening.  Thankfully many of my loyal followers and friends were happy to offer their opinion!  So, here's my card with the prevailing paper combo!

My card base is Mossy Meadow card stock.  A piece of Whisper White card stock frames a piece of plaid paper from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper collection.  An additional piece of Whisper White card stock frames another piece of patterned paper from the 'Tis The Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Collection.  The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink on a piece of Whisper White card stock and cut out with the Stitched Shape Dies.  I wanted to do more with the holly images that are part of that sentiment stamp.  So, I used the separate holly image from that stamp set and stamped the holly image twice on a scrap of Mossy Meadow card stock.  I cut out the leaves with my Paper Snips and add adhered them over the stamped images.  Some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels as holly berries complete the card.

Remember the 24 Hour Stamp Sale on Wednesday, September 23!  The list of stamp sets on sale is here.  (And hint, hint -- there's a Designer Series Paper Sale coming in October!  I'll have more about that soon, but there will be a lot of holiday paper on sale!)

If you've been thinking about joining Stampin' Up! - whether to build a business, or strictly for the discount - this could be the promotion for you!  Many people, including me, started out just to receive the discount.  But I love Stampin' Up! and sharing their amazing products and it kind of evolved from there.

·  In addition to the regular starter kit (for $99 USD, new demonstrators choose $125 USD worth of products), the new demonstrator will also receive enough card stock pieces to make 16 cards, a pack of Rhinestone Basic Jewels, the So Much Love stamp set, and the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set—all for their first event or personal card-making needs.  The new demonstrator also receives a code for free Paper Pumpkin kit!

·  Eight (8) packs of precut card stock of the coastal cabana pack will be provided, and eight (8) packs of precut card stock of the Granny Apple Green pack, for a total of 16 cards (packs include envelopes). The new demonstrator can choose what samples to replicate and how to distribute the packs to their customers.

·  Important note: Ink, adhesive, cutting tool, and clear block for stamping must be purchased separately. However, these products may be included as part of the Starter Kit product selection.

All future purchases will receive a minimum discount of a 20%.  And, after you sign up and select your kit, you will have until the end of December to decide if Stampin' Up! is for you.
