I’ve shared fall items from the upcoming Holiday Catalog — now it’s time for a couple of Christmas ideas. This gorgeous card was a swap from Hattie Walker Nelson. I love the non-traditional color combo — Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana.
The layers, especially the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the adorable tiny snowflake background finish this card off just right. The stamp set Beautiful Baubles and you can order it in just one week, September 5th.
Another Sneak Peek for you — this card was a swap from BJ Peters. BJ used the new Merry Christmas to All stamp set and the Country Lane Designer Paper. What a fun combination of a fall look with a Christmas stamp set. This card works great for Thanksgiving or just a nice card to let someone know you are thinking of them.
Crushed Curry was used for the card base with Early Espresso and Whisper White layers. I love how this color combination helps the cotton plants pop off the paper (at least I think they look like cotton plants). A Copper Trim bow was added to the card front along with a Metallic Gold Pearl for a little accent.
This is a quick and easy card that would make your friends very happy to receive!

The Holiday Catalog starts in just a week and a half – WOOHOO!!!. It’s time for some sneak peeks, don’t you think?
After the Alaskan Cruise Incentive Trip, I participated in a swap using Holiday Catalog items we received while on the cruise. The cards I received were fabulous so while I’m working on some upcoming events, I thought it was time to share some of these great ideas to get you warmed up and ready for September 5th.
The Many Blessings stamp set which was one of the prize patrols given out. This set was designed by Ruth Snyder when she hit one million dollars in sales. It’s a great set that covers fall and Christmas very well.
This card was from Sheri Caspers — I love the pot of sunflowers which definitely says fall to me. Sheri used the Tranquil Textures designer paper along with the new 1/4″ Tranquil Tide Velvet Ribbon — so soft and luxurious. She tucked some leaves behind the circle layers for a little more dimension.
