Easy Handmade Thank You Card Featuring the Pine Tree Punch

Hello, my crafty friends. Happy New Year! I took some time off over the holidays, but I tried to keep up with my blog and posting pictures of the fun holiday cards. I did totally miss last week. I hope you can forgive me. :) 

This is going to be a very short post to show off this super cute and easy handmade thank you card featuring my favorite product suite from the 2019 Holiday Catalog -- Wrapped in Plaid Suite.

The base is Crumb Cake Cardstock, one layer build of the Designer Series Paper "DSP" - although this is a 6x6 Specialty series (5.25" x 4") - and a slightly off-center layer of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock (3" x 4.5"). I used some DSP scraps for a couple of the trees and Gold foil sheet for one tree and the stars. The thank you sentiment is from my all-time favorite Love What You Do Stamp Set in Gold Stampin' Embossing Power (I used Versamark). A couple of the Snowflake Sequins dot the sentiment.

I hope you were able to purchase the Wrapped in Plaid Suite, and specifically the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set and the Pine Tree Punch as they are NOT retiring with the closing of the 2019 Holiday Catalog!! #WOOHOO

You know I usually do not talk "shop" until after the list of products used in my card or project -- this way, you can enjoy the craft time without wading through all the business jazz. Now, that said, if you are a faithful Stampin' Up! customer you know that it is Sale-A-Bration! The first three months of the year, Stampin' Up! rewards its customers and its demonstrators with FREE product for every $50 purchase. I am telling you that you do not want to miss this opportunity. This may be the time that you want to hold a party or, maybe, maybe, you are ready to jump in and become a demonstrator yourself. I hope so and I would be so happy to share everything you need to know about  it. My email address is below.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my super cute and easy thank you card for the holidays. Hopefully you already have the discontinued DSP and sequins, but you know that there are so many other coordinating Stampin' Up! products that will work for this card. Just message me if you need any help. Please leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can find you and see your creations.

December Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the December Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sandra Roberts' blog. Welcome one and all.

There was so much to choose from in the Holiday Catalog this year. Right? My favorite was the Wrapped in Plaid Suite. Many of my blogs over the last several weeks have featured cards with products from this suite. I love the Pine Tree Punch and the Wrapped in Plaid 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper. And the price point was spot on! My gift-wrapping projects today include the Mini Pizza Boxes and the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

(Here is a sneak peek of my holiday card too!) The 3x3 Mini Pizza Boxes will hold one of your large, homemade cookies, or a set of your 3x3 homemade cards, or even a merchant gift card fits perfectly. This year there are GOLD Mini Pizza Boxes! How about that. These boxes will make your gift giving this holiday season super easy.

Now, using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, I also made gift tags with this Suite. The tags are super quick and easy. And you cannot go wrong with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. My favorite ribbon from the Holiday Catalog is the Curly Ribbon from the Let It Snow Suite. It is so fun!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my gift packaging projects. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Sue McDonald.
