These random photos taken in Manitoba, where we lived for a few years, are the perfect match for the Feels Like Frost specialty designer series paper. One side of the designer series paper has photographic images on one side and designs with silver foil on the other.

This moose is so adorable! Our team had an in-person holiday card swap at the team meeting on Sunday and I created this card for the swap. Now I have 7 cards for inspiration from team members that I will share them on social media soon.

For this card I decided to use the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper. The picture above doesn't do the paper justice! It has sparkle on one side of some of the designs and coordinates with the Snowman Season stamp set and the Let It Snow Suite. But the sheet I used was perfect to give the feel of snow on the ground or falling snow. Both the moose filled image and the tree are stamped off first to give a lighter look to both. And if you saw my post last month about needing some Real Red ribbon it was for this card! I didn't have any matching ribbon so I used the Real Red Dark Blend to colour the Scalloped Lace Trim before adhering it to my card.

The Nature's Beauty stamp set has some very realistic stamps that are perfect for any occasion!
Today's card is one we created at the Cards & Chocolate class in August. Since the Nature's Beauty stamp set does not have any sentiments I paired it with the Here's a Card stamp set from the Annual Catalogue but you could use any sentiment with these images. After stamping the deer we used the light and dark versions of the Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to make the deer stand out.

Supplies
Stamps: Nature's Beauty, Here's a Card
Colours: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake  Very Vanilla
Accessories: Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends, Layering Ovals dies, Pine wood Plank embossing folder, Subtle Embossing Folder, Stampin' Dimensionals

Welcome to our September Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop and our theme of Bundles! So much excitement with the new 2019 Holiday catalogue products being available this week. There are 25 new bundles in this new catalogue! And the best thing about bundles is the 10% savings when you purchase the items together using one item number! I decided to create a pocket page layout using the Perfectly Plaid bundle - a photopolymer stamp set and punch.

Under the sea with an octopus! When creating the watercoloured background for this card all I could think of was the Little Mermaid and Sebastien singing Under the Sea! Is it in your head yet like it is mine?

The background panel was created easily by using watercolour paper, the water stamp from Under the Sea stamp set and an Aqua painter. Stamp the water stamp using Bermuda Bay, inked once but stamped twice on the top of the watercolour paper and repeat at the bottom. Right away use your Aqua Painter to smear the ink around. If you need more water, gently squeeze the Aqua Painter.

Supplies
Stamps: Sea of Textures
Colours: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Smokey Slate
Accessories: Watercolor Paper, Under the Sea dies, Aqua Painter, Tailored Tag Punch
