December blog hop

It's hard to believe that December is upon us, but it's the best time of the year for crafters!  Here are the great cards designed by some of the monthly blog hoppers with Christmas as the theme -- Enjoy!!

Card, scrapbook, pattern ideas for you

 

Have you ever been stuck with ideas for your cardmaking, scrapbooking, or crafting projects?  This is one of the awesome benefits you get when you join as a Stampin' Up demonstrator - an endless supply of card templates, scrapbook page templates, and patterns for boxes, and other fun projects!  The Christmas tree shown here is just one of them:

  

Each template provides a basic layout you can use as the foundation for a card, scrapbook page or other creative project.  It is super easy it is to make several projects using one idea as the foundation. which will help in creating your own projects. By simply changing color schemes, stamp sets, and embellishments, you  will have endless project possibilities!  

The Stampin' Up pattern library is another resource that demonstrators have access to - it has many patterns for baskets, books, boxes, cards, and pouches. It is a collection includes more than 150 patterns you can use to make projects for workshops, stamp camps, personal stamping, and more. 

You can join Stampin' Up in my online store and also read more about all of the wonderful benefits of being a Stampin' Up demonstrator...I know I haven't regretted it a bit and soooo glad I joined.

Here are a few more card and scrapbooking templates for you thanks to Stampin' Up -- Enjoy!!  Look forward to having you be one of my demonstrators!!
