We Create December Blog Hop Holiday Fun

Welcome to the We Create December Blog Hop as we showcase projects and ideas to celebrate Holiday Fun. Can you believe that Christmas is just weeks away? Well, don't panic. There is still time to create your own beautiful cards and projects to share with family and friends without getting stressed out. I hope our ideas will help inspire you to get creative for the holiday season.

Let's face it, creating homemade cards this close to Christmas can seem a little overwhelming but I have a secret weapon that will help you to create your own beautiful cards without all the stress. In the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, there is a range of Mix & Match products that can help you create clean and simple cards in a fraction of the time and you don't have to stamp a single image. Sounds amazing, right? For my card design, I chose to use one of the Night of Navy card bases from the Gold Dipped Mix & Match Specialty Cards & Envelopes and I used elements from the Joyful Images Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack and a sentiment from the Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack to build my design. All the elements from each of the packs coordinates perfectly to help take out the guess work and allows you to have fun exploring your creativity. This gives you the opportunity to create a wonderful stack of Christmas cards in a short amount of time while still enjoying some fun creative therapy.

Creating projects with the Mix & Match products is as simple as picking out the elements you want to use and then assembling the design. I love how the Gold accents add a touch of elegance without being over the top. For my design, I chose the cabin circle image as my focal point and then added small accent die cuts to create the look I wanted. For the sentiment, I chose a beautiful Gold embossed image that coordinated perfectly with the design I had created and I added several Gold stars to accent it. Then is was a simple matter of adhering the die cuts to the Night of Navy card base and voila! A simply gorgeous Christmas card ready to send to someone special for the holidays. In addition to Christmas cards, you can use these elements to create custom gift tags or decorate scrapbook pages to record those special memories. There are so many wonderful options in each pack to help you create your own beautiful projects for the holidays.

Around The World On Wednesday September Blog Hop The Way We Were

Welcome to the Around the World On Wednesday September Blog Hop with our theme this month, "The Way We Were". Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity as we explore this fun theme.

When I saw this month's theme, it made me think of nostalgia and reminiscing about fun memories. With the new Mix & Match Ephemera Packs in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, I thought it would be fun to create a clean and simple Christmas card that reminds me of the old fashioned designs that I remember from years past. The Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack are filled with old style holiday images and beautiful sentiments that make creating your own unique Christmas cards fun. I used one of the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes for my card base to give my card the feeling of a Winter scene.

The Mix & Match Ephemera Packs are filled with a variety of images and sayings to give you so many choices to create your card designs. They pair beautifully with the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes to help you create clean and simple cards for the holidays. Did you know that on pages 16-17 of the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, there are sketches to help you put together your own cards and tags? All you have to do is choose which images and sayings you want to use to decorate your cards and tags. Whether you choose to create a classically elegant design like the one I created, or something more fun and nostalgic, the possibilities are endless. The best part? No stamping required, so no inky fingers. This would be a fun project to do with your family to get ready for the holidays.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects with the new Mix & Match Ephemera Packs. Whether you are looking to create holiday cards, tags or scrapbook pages, there is something for everyone.
