Friday is the Last Day to Earn the December Pretty Paper Projects pdf

I designed this card to be included in my collaborative Pretty Paper Projects pdf for the December edition. When I designed it, the autumn leaves were falling to the ground. I could feel the cool crisp air with apple cider spices wafting from my mug.

Pretty Paper Projects is a collaborative effort to reward my customers with a fun little project inspiration sheet emailed directly to your in-box. Friday is the last day to earn the December edition of the Pretty Paper Projects pdf by placing a $50 or more order (excluding shipping and tax) through my online store using the appropriate Shop Now buttons on the left side of my blog. Use the host code button if your order is UNDER $150. Host code must be used for orders under $150 to earn the pdf. Use the other Show Now button if your order is OVER $150 (both excluding shipping and tax). Both cases earn the December Pretty Paper Projects pdf.

The pdf’s are a thank you for shopping with me!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Sweet Stockings

bloghopbannerapril2018-001

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of gift packaging projects to share with you. You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The Sweet Stocking suite is for the dog and cat lover. The images on the patterned paper are so cute! The paper is richly toned with cherry cobbler, evening evergreen along with shades of bumblebee, cinnamon cider, old olive and pool party. I decided to make a wrap to go around the Acetate Card Boxes. Position the patterned paper for a custom wrap tailored to the person receiving the box whether they like dog or cats.
