Last weekend was the FYI Craft Show here in the Waikato and, with the help of my family, we designed and staffed the Stampin' Up! stand.  The theme of the show was "Under the Sea", which was tailor-made for showcasing the Whale of a Time Suite from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.

This fancy fold Christmas card has layer upon layer upon layer!  It uses the Trimming the Town Suite to create a fun, layered card with a beautiful, homely scene on the front.

I threw almost all of the Snowflake Spendor Suite at this Christmas Gift Card Wallet, and I loved how it turned out!  It is so sparkly and pretty, especially the front of the card...

This week's Your Creative Connection theme is DIES TO DIE FOR.  So for this theme, I chose the Little Treat Box Dies (and coordinating Little Treats stamp set) because I love, love, love simple-to-create boxes and I can't go past any dies that include a gift box - I think I have them all!  As a play on the "to die for" part of this theme, I decided to create a Halloween-inspired treat...

I created a Christmas version of my Masculine Double-Triangle Card.  This fun Christmas card uses the fabulous Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper with the Coming Home stamp set and coordinating Home Together Dies...

The navy, blue, and purple hand-painted imagery in the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper are all so pretty that I had trouble choosing.  So, instead of picking just one, I recreated my Forevery Greenery Scrappy Strip Card to create this Christmas card with a flurry of snowflakes.

Saturday was World Cardmaking Day and I celebrated by creating these four Christmas cards using an unconventional stamp set.  This is Gorgeous Posies stamped in traditional Christmas colours of Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, and Old Olive.

Today is World Cardmaking Day and I am celebrating it with some stamping and creating.  I hope you are joining me too!  Once you've created your special greeting cards today, be sure to send them to share the joy with others.
