Merry Patterns - what a fun set!

So for the month of October ONLY Stampin' Up! is offering this beautiful incentive set for orders/parties over $300.

I FELL IN LOVE with it as soon as I saw it.  So I've been playing and making some beautiful cards.  I found one similar to the card below on Pinterest - but it was done in blues.  I switched it up a bit, with vanilla, espresso and cajun and this is what I came up with.  The buck with the sweater - is fussy cut, and then popped up on dimensionals.

The foil doily below kind of gives him a special pedestal to stand on.

To me it's such a woodsy, natural feeling card - perfect for the holidays - and masculine enough for any guy you need to send a card to.  Anyway, I hope you liked it too -would love to hear your thoughts. ~Maureen

June Christmas Cards I

Today I want to share the first of two Christmas Cards we made at this month's Christmas Card class.  Since there are currently not a log of Christmas sets available - I had to get creative - so I used our new Mosaic Madness set and punch to create ornaments.   Not an original idea - I've seen many samples of cards similar on Pinterest - but this is my creation.

We also used the "Sassy Salutations" set which is on sale this month - but ONLY through tomorrow.  It is such a fun set.  We finished off the ornaments with a linen thread bow and some little gems to give it sparkle.  Sorry the picture was so dark - guess the flash didn't go off.  But hope you get the idea :)  ~Maureen
