Inspired by the Christmas card on page 15 of the Holiday Catalogue, I created this trio of hanging stockings to show off all the gorgeous stitching and textures in the Hang Your Stocking Stamp Set and coordinating Christmas Stockings Thinlits Dies. This card also shows off the three gorgeous Christmas Trinkets Embellishments - love that card jewellery!

Yesterday we held our annual Hamilton Christmas Extravaganza, where we shared and created projects featuring products from the 2016 Holiday Catalogue. Here's some photos I snapped before everyone arrived...

I promised more house creations using the Sweet Home stamp set and coordinating Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies, and here they are! This first one is a great reminder of the summer holidays coming up... a beach house or bach. My design is based on a similar house I saw online recently, but can't find it now to give credit to the original creator.

The Sweet Home stamp set and coordinating Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies is a fabulous bundle for creating cute houses to either use as home décor pieces or a gift boxes. But what about using these versatile products to create cards too!

Have you seen the Tin of Tags Project Kit in the Holiday Catalogue? The kit includes all the die-cut shapes and embellishments to create 30 gift tags, nestled inside a cute, polka dot tin.

This past week I've been teaching everyone who attended the Creative Stamping Workshops how to create a Triangle-Fold Pocket Christmas Card. This style of card is a fun and unusual design that are quite simple to create - the time and details are in how you finish it. For this card I decorated the card used the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle, Candy Cane Christmas stamp set and Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper...

After teaching the Honey Bee Spinner Card at the Creative Stamping Workshops last month, my kids and I made more spinner cards using the Shooting Star Bundle for some up-coming family birthdays. This paper-plane-flying-around-the-world version is perfect for a masculine birthday card. The gorgeous background sky is from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack, and inside is says, "The sky's the limit!"...

There's always great joy when the courier arrives with the Stampin' Up! box; it's like Christmas whenever an order comes in! Inspired by that feeling, I stamped this month's thank you cards with "Special Delivery" from the Tin of Tags stamp set. The rest of the design comes from the Moroccan Product Suite in the Annual Catalogue - gorgeous geometric tile patterns and exotic hanging lanterns.
