Hello, Doily

Hello Stampers,

I love this new background stamp called "Hello Doily" - doilies are really "in" this year and Stampin' Up! has stamps, papers and punches that coordinate in this theme.

Beautiful Season

Hello Stampers,

Here's another lovely Christmas card idea - especially if you like to colour.  This stamp set is brand new and at $20.95 for the clear mount option Beautiful Season is certainly beautiful!

 

 

The corners have been made using the Curly Label punch - add a little pearl and you've created a really rich looking card!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Stamping,

Hello Stampers,

 
 

It's the time of year for my annual Ribbon Share!  There are lots of beautiful new styles of ribbon and returning ribbons in new colours.  Gorgeous!
