Good Morning Stampers! I was editing my Parade of Swaps posts to include links to home office videos and found this nugget of a video. Wanted to share it today because it’s a fun one!

Products from the Night Before Christmas suite are used on this swap card.

The Night Before Christmas Suite is shown below.

Prepare to be inspired with over 50 designs posted in the coming weeks covering a wide variety of images, colors, techniques, shapes and themes. These designs were swaps from fellow demonstrators at the annual Fall Fling that I coordinate. Everyone did a fabulous job with their designs! I’ll give the demo credit that created the card if I have that information. If you see your design, add a comment about your card!

Cheryl Hill, part of my Super Awesome Stampers team, created this fun card evoking possibilities through dance.

Check back soon for more inspiration. I’ll group about 3 design themes per post.

Looks like Fall Fling is something you would like to attend? Details for the 2019 event are in this post. The 2020 event will be similar to the 2019 event. Contact me if you have questions about attending demonstrator events or being a member of my Super Awesome Stampers team.

ICS Blog Hop Gather Together

Thank you for hopping around with us as we share fall themed projects using our fabulous Stampin’ Up! products from the holiday catalog which goes lives today! You may have arrived from Janey Backer’s blog and her fabulous project. My project is below.

I settled on inking up my Gather Together stamp set with cajun craze ink for the maple leaf, sentiment and subtle background stamping. The Gathered Leaves dies perfectly cut the maple leaf. It’s popped up on a dimensional with linen thread behind. I quickly created this card at a family retreat for my sister so she could participate in our card swap. She did not have time to make a set of cards prior to the retreat. I still wanted her to go home with a set since she enjoys paper crafting just as much as me:)
