LOADS of Inspiration Today!

Hello!  I hope that you are having a great week.  We wanted to let you know that in honor of the Thanksgiving Holiday we will be having a sale this Friday, November 29th.  Be sure to check back here on the blog tomorrow for more details.

Today is our last day with our incredible guest designer, Yainea.  It has been such a pleasure working with her this month and I have been so inspired by every single project that she has created.  Thank you for a fantastic month Yainea!  Be sure to stop by her blog to leave her some love. ;)

Yainea created two projects for us today.  The first is a tag and card set made using our Laurels and Let It Snow stamp sets.  So pretty!

Yainea created a shaker card and used the trees from our Let It Snow stamp set as the background in this next project - brilliant!  The sweet fox from our Happy Camper stamp set is the cutest little accent. 

Heather created this pretty card using our Winter Wreath and Laurels stamp sets.  Heather shows how the images from these sets can easily be mixed and matched to create a variety of gorgeous looks. The little touches of glitter that Heather used are the perfect finishing touch.

 Maska created this bright and fun layout using our Oh Yeah, Simply Tags Christmas, Party Animal, Petals & Stems and Home Sweet Home stamp sets.  I love looking at all of the fun layers that Maska creates on her projects.  They are always expertly executed.

 
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Fill In The Blank, Let It Snow & Winter Wreath

Today we have Chunyuan with this adorable gift set using our Holiday Fill In The Blank stamp set, Holiday Fill In The Blank dies, Words Fill In The Blank dies and Cheers die.   She shows how well these sets work together and can be changed to create endless looks.  How cute are her felt wine tag charms?  Be sure to check out Chunyuan's blog for more details.

Kasia created this pretty card using our Let It Snow clear stamp set.  I love the way the gray tree background plays against the silhouette of the deer.  Perfect, clean and simple!

JJ created this next card using our Let It Snow and Winter Wreath stamp sets.  I love the way that these sets work together.  The white, kraft, green and red color is so cozy.

Inspiration with Nina & Donna

Today we have Donna with two cute projects.  I love how she created a wine bottle tag using our Cheers die set and accented it with flowers that she created using our Icon Fill In The Blank die set. 

In this next card Donna used our Icon Fill In The Blank dies again to create a whole card front of pretty flowers.  I love that she used white on white with the little touch of gold.  It is so pretty.

Nina's two toned project is really fun, bold and graphic.  I love how the red and white pop off of each other and the images from our Simply Tags: Christmas and Texture Tiles Be Cute stamp sets.  Be sure to stop by Nina's blog for more details.

Inspiration from JJ & Heather

Today we have JJ with this pretty gilded card she created using our Winter Wreath, Build A Banner and Holiday Fill In The Blank stamp sets.  I love the way that the images on the banner are popped up and match card base.  Our Sapphire card stock is the perfect dark color to set off the gold.  Be sure to check out JJ's blog for more information.

Heather created this gorgeous card using our Laurels and Build A Banner clear stamp sets and dies.  The sentiment from Petals and Stems fits perfectly inside the banner.  I just love her flower cluster and the way our Lemon Grass, Mimosa, Sea Glass and Pixie card stocks work together.  You can find more details on Heather's blog here.

Lots of Laurels Inspiration

Today we have Maska with two pretty projects.  In this first card she shows how you can layer the flowers and leaves from our Laurels stamps and dies together to create a gorgeous focal point.

Maska also created this lovely layout using our Laurels stamps and dies and Modern Leaves clear stamps.  I love the little bits that she tucked all throughout this layout.  It is so bright and cheery.

Yainea created this clean and simple card using our Laurels clear stamps.  I love how she added tails to the beginning and the end of the thinking of you sentiment so that it spans the entire panel.  The offset two toned bow and sequins are the perfect compliment. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

More with Kasia and Chunyuan

Today we have Kasia with this fall card that she created using our Thankful clear stamps.  I love how she stamped the leaves at an angle and added them behind the button. This is a great example of how stamping one image repeatedly can create terrific results.

Chunyuan created this fun card using our Holiday Fill In The Blank stamps.  I love her color choices and the way that pink pops.  The Aim High, and Chevron Bits die cuts lend a modern feel to this.  I just love it.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Inspiration from Nina and Donna

Today we have Donna with this sweet card she made using our Let It Snow stamp set.  The sentiment from Written In The Stars makes this a perfect card to give to a loved one.  I love the red, white and blue color combination.  So cute!

Nina created this cheerful card using our Cheers die.  Nina shows how you can cut off the top of the wine tag die to create a pretty panel.   She mounted the letters from the celebrate die to top of the star from our Ornaments Simply Tags Christmas dies.  I just love her combination of patterns.  They work so well together.

Two great cards by Heather and JJ

Today we have JJ with this non-holiday take on the birds from our Let It Snow clear stamps.  She stamped the line image from Merry & Bright and added the sentiment from Funky Monkey.  I love this cute and encouraging card.

Heather used the polka dots from our Texture Tiles : Be Cute stamp set to ground the Build A Banner and Laurels stamped images in this next card. The Thank You sentiment from our Thankful clear stamps works so well here.  I just love the way she offset the front of her card to show a small amount of the Fog card base.  This is so pretty!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Inspiration with Maska and Yainea

Today we have Yainea with this adorable Let It Snow card.  I love how she has her birds and trees peeking out of the angled panels.  It is so striking and cute.  The blue really pops against the crisp white.  A perfect combination!

Maska  shows how our Build A Banner and Aim High sets are great for layouts as well as cards.  I just love the way she framed the picture with the banner image on the right and used a sticker to fill in another banner on the bottom left. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Two Holiday Cards

Today we have Kasia with this fun card she created using our Fill In The Blank Holiday clear stamp and die set.  I love her use of repetition and colors.  Those little star stickers on top of the trees are so cute!

Chunyuan created this card using our Winter Wreath, Build A Banner and Simply Tags: Christmas clear stamps and dies.   The bold bow and banner play off the finer wreath so well.  I love it.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Inspiration from Donna and Nina

Today we have Donna with this adorable card and tag using our Simply Tags : Christmas, Simply Tags: Everyday clear stamps and Ornaments Simply Tags Dies.  I love the shading that she created and how the white snowflake and stars pop.  Be sure to check out Donna's blog for more details.

Nina created this pretty card using our Laurels clear stamps and dies.  I love how she stamped the subtle polka dots from Texture Tiles: Be Cute in the background.  It adds a nice amount of texture and depth.

Thank You Cath!

Hi everyone!  I hope that you are having a fabulous Saturday.  If you are wondering what you have stumbled upon, it is the Moxie Fab Thanks Blog Hop.  If you didn't come from Michelle Williams' blog, you may want to start back at the beginning of the hop here.

What is the Moxie Fab Thanks Blog Hop you ask?  Well it is to celebrate the wonderful Cath Edvalson and all the time, effort and dedication she had during her time as the Trends Editor of Paper Crafts Magazine.  Cath created the blog Moxie Fab World and it quickly became a huge source of inspiration and fun for many.  I had the pleasure of working a bit with Cath and met her at CHA at the beginning of this year.  She is the most kind and supportive person.  I was thrilled when I heard about this blog hop because I can't think of a better way to thank her for all she has done than make her a card.

Thank you Cath.  I wish you nothing but the best and am so thankful that I had the chance to meet and work with you.  I hope that we cross paths again in the future.

Supplies: Kraft Cardstock, Celery Cardstock, Thankful Clear Stamp Set
