Getting ready for Christmas
My favorite time of year is Christmas!
I may not remember to get everyone a card on their birthday, but I sure try hard to get some kind of wishes out to everyone at Christmas time.
I start making cards in July so I'm ready when my mailing window opens. I try to have all my cards mailed out over the long weekend of Thanksgiving.
So this time of year I'm about making things simple for myself.
I love to use my Quick Card Cuts to get the most out of my pretty paper and to make Mile a Minute cards!
These are cards that take 5 minutes or less to assemble!
I try to add a little sparkle to them or a fancy greeting label to give them some pizzazz.
Watch for my series coming up this month and next to get yourself on track for your card sending this Holiday season!

Happy Fall Y'all
I'm not sure about your part of the country, but I can tell you that Autumn has arrived in a cool, crisp fashion here in southcentral WI.
We are hitting highs in the low 60's this week with overnight temperatures in the 40's. That is the start of it!
I've even seen the green leaves on the trees start to turn goldenrod, cherry red, and blaze orange JUST THIS WEEK!
It seems like we went from summer to fall in just a matter of days!
I got to gather with a couple of special friends to work on fall decor items.
Aren't these scarecrow heads adorable?
My friend Diane goes to her Mom's senior living facility every Sunday and brings a craft project for them to create.
She follows a few different crafters and gathers up ideas for projects, then she and her Mom spend an afternoon making the crafts.
I'm thrilled they allowed me to tag along on their recent Mom and Me craft day.
I love that she shares ideas with me!
Card inspiration!
Because I love it when someone shares with me, I figured you like it when I share with you!
Sharing is so fun!
I designed this card for a recent Card Kit in the Mail.
The technique on this card is very easy and it all comes together by using patterned paper to provide a little autumn color for the background.
Fall colors for an All-Occasional card idea
The paper on this card is from the amazing Beauty of the Earth paper pack.
I love this paper pack with it's variety of tree and plant patterns.
The 12"x12" paper sheets run the gamut from Spring to Autumn and even a sheet or two of winter scenes.
It's one of those paper packs that you might want to have a couple of packs on hand to be able to make multiples of the cards when you sit down to craft.
I've mentioned this before, but it's worth mentioning again - Stampin' Up! paper packs give you a list a coordinating colors so you'll never be at a loss of color combinations to try!
The Beauty of the Earth paper pack coordinates with:
- Bumblebee 8-1/2X11 Cardstock [153077]
- Bumblebee Classic Stampin' Pad [153116]
- Cajun Craze 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119684]

- Cinnamon Cider 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [153078]

Card How-tos:
The card shown is a standard size (Bumblebee cardstock).
Cut a letter size sheet of cardstock in half to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" for TWO card bases. Might as well make two at a time!
Fold it in half for a top hinge card front.
There are two paper patterns used on the background.
The top piece is 5 1/4" wide x 3 1/2" high (abstract fall trees pattern).
The bottom piece is 5 1/4" wide x 3/4" high (wood grain pattern).
Both of the patterns are available in the Beauty of the Earth paper pack, but there are wood patterned paper sheets as part of the In Good Taste paper pack too.
I cut the silhouette trees using the Inspiring Canopy dies, but do yourself a favor and save 10% off the individual prices.
Pick up the Inspired Thoughts bundle so you get the dies and the outstanding greetings in the stamp set Inspired Thoughts.
They run the full range of greetings and will be your most often used greeting set once it's in your stash!
The bundle will get you just shy of Level One Saleabration qualifying order. Add in one ink pad and you're at the qualifying amount!
We are in the final 7 days of this second round of freebies!
Some things are sold out already, but all the good stuff will be gone for good after September 30!
More tips for the inspiration card!
Assemble the card similar to the photo.
The papers and the trees are adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue but you can use your favorite adhesive to attach them together.
Choose a greeting and stamp it on neutral cardstock (Basic White).
This card used Old Olive Cardstock and the Stitched Rectangles Dies for the accent layer.
They are very versatile for all your projects and are on my MUST HAVE list of supplies!
The greeting layer was cut using my Paper Trimmer to be just slightly smaller than the chosen stitched rectangle shape.
After attaching the stamped greeting to the accent layer, then pop up the greeting label using Stampin' Dimensionals!
I say it often, but it's so true!
Make the card! Send the card!
You will truly make someone's day with your thoughtfulness!
