Time for one of my favourite fun folds - a Trifold Angle Gatefold card. I absolutely love the Stampin' Up! Storybook Gnomes Suite from the Mini Catalogue. I'm so excited there is a new stamp set coming with adorable gnomes in the January to April Mini Catalogue and the Gnome Dies are being carried over!
Isn't this a pretty card! That snowflake paper is so pretty and created the perfect background for my gnome.
Time for another Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the world who participate each month to share projects we are working on. This month our theme is Christmas. My card features a few products that are retiring from the current Stampin' Up! September to December Mini Catalogue. Time to grab them before they are gone!

Today's project is some easy to make treat bags - perfect for stocking stuffers or as favours for your holiday table. I've used the Peekaboo Treat Bags long with product from the Stampin' Up! Santa's Express Suite. Wouldn't you love to have one of these at your plate on Christmas Day!
Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you! You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This time our theme is "retiring products from the July to December Mini Catalogue". I decided to make a new fancy fold card - a stand up Gate Fold Card. I receive a swap card from Becky Hahn at Stampin' Up! OnStage in Vienna that used this fold and I loved it.
Time for a pretty snowflake card. I call this fold a Peekaboo Fancy Fold - there may be another name. I used the Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Bundle for this card. This bundle is retiring from the Mini Catalogue and is available only until January 4th. If this has been on your wishlist, order it before it's gone!
During a recent Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp, I challenge everyone to make a card inspired by a picture of a Mince Tart. I had no idea what cards everyone would create. It was so much fun to see how everyone was inspired by the picture in different ways. Have you ever looked at a picture or saw something when you were out and about that you have used as an inspiration for?

The Stampin' Up! Fond of Autumn Bundle is amazing! It doesn't have to be just for Autumn cards but my card today definitely has that Autumn feeling! Did you know that there is a die that will cut the large image from the Stamp Set into 4 pieces! That's what I used on my card that combines colouring and Paper Piecing!

Today's card is a quick and easy one using Tone on Tone stamping as a background and some pretty Designer Series Paper from the Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Suite. I made this card on my Tuesday Night Sketch Challenge using this sketch. This is a great sketch for any combination of products!

I've been having fun creating Frameless Shaker Cards. Thanks to Patty Bennett for the idea and for my Team Member Nancy for sharing it with our team! Check out this pretty card I created using the Stampin' Up! All Bundled Up Stamp Set - isn't Marty the Moose adorable! I love him so much I decided he deserve a name!
If you love shaker cards, then you'll love this new way to create them with a Medium Clear Envelope and a piece of Window Sheet.

I shared the Twisted Ribbon technique that I used for my October Customer Thank You cards in an earlier post. Today I'm sharing a Christmas card I created using the same technique and the Stampin' Up! Boughs of Holly Suite. I have been having so much fun with this technique. Isn't this a pretty card!
