Sometimes we tend to take out our favorite stamp set and only use that particular set to create a card.
Stampin' Up! makes it easy for us to do just that. For example, the set
Christ is Born provides you with images as well as verses and sentiments all in one package. It makes it very easy and fun to create, but let's take it to a different level!
Today, I am challenging you to take out two or three of your favorite stamp sets and mix and match like I did with this Christmas card. Can you guess how many stamp sets I used? If you guessed three, you are correct! I used
Stampin' Up! sets
Christ is Born,
Four the Holidays, and
Leaf Lines. It's always fun to mix things up a bit!
Let me know if you try this out. I'd love to see your creation! Feel free to
e-mail me a picture. I may send you a little thank you gift if you do! (hint hint)
Coming up . . . I'll share with you the Thanksgiving cards I'm mailing out to family next week.

I thought outside the Stampin' Up! box on this card. I combined three stamp sets: Always, Leaf Lines, and Watercolor Trio. Isn't it amazing how nicely they all flow together & look like it came from one set?
I'm not a bit Irish, but who says you have to be Irish to celebrate? I'm having a little dinner party tonight and serving up some reubens. The card and favor pictured above will be at each place setting.
ring Flowers. As soon as I saw the Mini Milk Carton Bigz Die in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini, it was the first thing on my list. You can assemble the milk carton to have a spout open up to pour out your contents. My project is completely enclosed since my contents fill the width of the container. I've also seen these cartons made into super cute bird houses! I'm going to give that a whirl soon.

I can tell you that no matter how many times I look through the Stampin' Up! catalog, I always find something new! One of my customers recently ordered the stamp set Leaf Lines. I swear I've never set my eyes on it or heard of it. I looked it up in the catalog, just out of curiosity, and there it was on page 111. Somehow this bypassed my wish list and I have no idea how? I love leaves! When I see a leaf set, it's usually a must have. Too funny! Needless to say, I bought it. It's one of those year-round sets. There is a leaf for every season.
rd stock, and the embossed leaves were all lightly dusted over with Stampin' Pastels (chalk). I love the soft finish chalk leaves behind. Stampin' Pastels provides you with all 48 Stampin' Up! colors as well as black, gray, and white. This set will last you a long time! I've had mine for years and it appears barely used. It's a great value for just under $25.00. Check it out HERE.
