Pumpkins, Leaves & Autumn! My favourite time of year is here. Cooler days, crisp nights, and the beautiful oranges and reds. On Saturday I was able to participate in a Stampin' Expo put on by another Canadian demonstrator. We used the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set and Detailed Pumpkin dies to create cards and learned from other demonstrators. One of reasons I love being a demonstrator is the chance to meet other demonstrators: to make a new friend, swap card ideas and maybe even learn a tip or technique from them.

Welcome to March's Global Stamping Friends blog hop! Our theme this month is Sweets & Treats. My very first choice was the Nothing's Better Than stamp set to create this fancy fold card.
This fancy fold / pull out card is very simple to put together. 
Open #1
After you pull the last part of the card aside you'll find my favourite part of this card! "Just kidding, I have no idea."

Hello and welcome to Pretty Cards & Paper December Blog Hop! This month we are using the Peony Garden designer series paper for our projects.
Have you noticed the beautiful projects in our catalogues? I sometimes forget to go through the catalogue and look at just the samples rather than daydream which products I'm going to order next. Do you go back to look at the projects? 
 
This card is a case of one found on page 33 (the middle card). Instead of creating a Christmas card I've switched it up by using the Tasteful Touches stamp set. The hello is part of a larger stamp. The best way to use a portion of a stamp is to use a Stampin' Write Marker, in this case a Basic Black marker, to colour the portion of the stamp you want to use, then stamp as you normally would onto the cardstock.

Next up you can visit these other blogs to see what they are sharing with us today:

The snow started to fall this afternoon! It's very pretty when I can sit in my craft room, watch it collect on the truck in the driveway and don't have to leave the house. Have you had your first snow storm of this season? Days like today was my inspiration when stamping the snowflakes onto the wood design paper from the In Good Taste designer series paper. The snowflakes are from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set, stamped using Versamark ink and heat set with Whisper White embossing powder. 
My upline organized a mailed team Swap in December. Swaps are fun to participate in! For my card I used the Lily Pad stamp set and the Lily Impressions designer series paper on my card, both are products that can be earned for free during Sale-A-Bration.

I stamped the backside of the lily stamp first using Rich Razzelberry ink and then once dry, emboss the lily image in gold.

Can you choose between the lighter So Saffron or the brighter Daffodil Delight as your favourite? Me, I cannot decide, I like them both!
