Alaska Blog Hop - Occasions Catalog

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Stampin' My Way to Alaska Blog Hop!  I am stop #8 on the hop.  You should have just come from Karina's blog.  She always has something great to share!  

For this blog hop today, we are sharing our "Must Have" item from the Occasions Catalog.  For me, the first item on my list was the Carousel Birthday stamp set.  I love the whole product suite.  I am actually having a class this weekend featuring this stamp set.  

Here is my card:

I was watching one of my favorite movies of all time last night, with my daughter, and it struck me.  I think I love this stamp set so much because it reminds me of Mary Poppins.  :)  I love this fun stamp set, and have already made many cards with it.  

Next up on the hop, at stop #9 is my pal Nicole Flournoy.  I'm sure she has something great in store for you!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Holiday Catalog - Anything But a Holiday Card

Hello everyone!  

Today, some fellow demonstrators and I are having some fun with the Holiday Catalog products - but none of us are sharing holiday cards!

I have a masculine birthday card to share with you.

Here is my card:

I think that the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack, and the Christmas Pines Bundle can both easily be used for masculine cards.  I am always needing a masculine card, and I usually have the most trouble designing them.  I was so happy when this card came together so quickly!

Next up on our Blog Hop today is Leonie Schroder from Stamp-a-Latte.  I know that this amazing Aussie will have something great to share with you!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stampin' my way to Alaska!

Today, I am joining in with other demonstrators as we all stamp our way to Alaska!  I am super excited to be a part of this fun blog hop today, and I'm sure you will find many wonderful projects as you hop along with us!

Today, I'm sharing a simple z-fold card that I made.  I have used the Peace this Christmas stamp set from the Annual Catalog, along with the Peaceful Pines bundle found in the Holiday Catalog.

Here is my card:

On my card base, I stamped the pine boughs from Christmas Pines in Old Olive and Wild Wasabi.  For the pine cones, I started out with Soft Suede bases, and then used some Early Espresso for the detail.  I used the Layering Squares Framelit dies, and Gold Foil paper to really draw attention to my greeting. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Please let me know what you think of my card, and be sure to visit, and leave some love for all of the other participants as well!

Thanks again!
