Holiday Extravaganza ends tonight...............

I will close the Hostess code at 9pm tonight 11/30/2015.   So get you order in if you want any of these deals and discounts.  Visit my website to see the items:  www.kathyswanson.stampinup.net

Here is a card featuring the Winter Wonderland Designer paper.  This paper is shiny and smooth!  Perfect for Wedding and Anniversary cards after the Holiday Season has passed. And notice the Black Glimmer paper ornament!  Love it and this paper is retiring so get your items before they are gone!!

I used the Embellished Ornaments Bundle to cut these beauties in Gold Foil.  The Whisper White detailed Ornament is from a leftover on a card you will see later this week.  Gold Cord trim finished this card and I did not think a sentiment was needed on the outside.  I wanted as much of this paper to show as possible.

KC Royal Snowman

My latest Painting is on the mantel and Friends are coming over Sunday to Royalify a few cards.  I made a few samples awhile back, but new ideas are popping in my head.  One in particular inspired by these Snowmen.........

Amy and Carolyn are my Ticket selling buddies, met them in 1999 and the rest is history!  How Blessed I am to have them in my life!!  Notice our Snowmen are all a bit different and that is my point with this card.  Make it different with what you have!!  I did not buy the "Snow Place" bundle this year and I am kicking myself.  BUT look at what I made with what I had!!  And good news, this bundle is a carry over and you can still purchase until January 4th and beyond.  We always have snow in February and sometimes March, so plenty of time to ink this bundle up.....I think I have talked myself into this cutie!!

Circle punches, a Square punch of Black Glimmer paper.  Fringe scissors on some Designer paper scraps and the Softly Falling Embossing folder!  See what you have to Build a Royals Snowman!!!

Christmas Cats

Of course I had to make a Cat card.  What iconic fireplace does not have a cat?  So I went with 3 cats and a Christmas tree from "To You & Yours Too" which matches the Shaker card kit but can be used for many other projects.  More to come with that Stamp set also.

This little Scene uses the Tree and Sentiment from 'To You & Yours Too".  The Tree fits the largest Tree Framelit!!  I stamped 2 Cats and added some "Gorgeous Grunge" stamping.  The Black cat was cut and turned around to sit on the Tree stand.  The Star is from the Itty Bitty Punch pack.  So fun!!!

Festive Fireplace

What an adorable stamp set and Framelets and again you could do so much with this for all seasons.  I will show you my first thoughts with this set over the next few days.  So many cards, so little time!!

This card reminds me of a 1960's paneled room.  Which is in my basement!  I have added a Modern Mantel in my home, but we have all seen this era and it brings back fond Holiday memories!  All the elements were cut and colored with an Aqua painter.  The Evergreen swag was stamped with Mossy Meadow on Mossy Meadow.  The Black Cat.  Red Glimmer paper backs the Sentiment.

Congratulations Wreath

I chose to use this Wreath for a Baby card, but this could be a Wedding, New Home or Congrats card.  I love the Door look and this is very easy to achieve and love the Faceted button for a door knob.  Trim a mat 5 X 3 3/4.  Cut in half long ways, then cut at the 2 inches leaving 3 inches.  Makes perfect door panels!  Space and glue down or pop up for more dimension!

I used Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz inks.  Itty Bitty punch Pack.  Something for Baby Bundle and Tag Talk for the Sentiment. 

New Home, New Baby, Congrats for Anniversary or Wedding.  Even Birthday!  Get your Wreath sets before they are gone forever!  I know the Spring set in the Big catalog will be on my next wish list!

Peaceful Wreath

Today's card features the "Peaceful Wreath" stamps set from the Holiday Catalog and the matching Framelits from the Big Catalog.  We have 3 stamp sets that match these Framelits and I will show you all the Holidays you can cover with these stamps and Framelits.  I did a Fall card last Tuesday and now Christmas.  Stay tuned for even more Wreaths for all Occasions!

This card is very Clean and basic, not my usual style, but this Mossy Meadow card stock is so luscious I did not need to emboss anything.  The Wreath was stamped in Mossy Meadow on Whisper White Thick cardstock and cut out with the Framelit.  I also cut JOY and the Bow in Real Red.  This Framelit set has a lot to offer!!  I stamped the Bow with Real Red to add some texture.  Real Red Marker adds some Berries to this Wreath.  Super Simple and Clean!
