I am sharing a mix of products today for a fond farewell to one of the cutest stamp sets. It is the Birds of a Feather stamp set. I think these birds are adorable and have used them for several occasions cards as well as some RAK cards during thanksgiving.
I paired this adorable rooster with a few new products for a sweet little valentine card. The Designer Series Paper is the new From My Heart DSP. The punched out heart is from the same DSP pack and is punched using the ruffled Heart from the Hearth Punch Pack. The Ruffled Heart fits the heart in the paper perfectly, and the plain heart matches a plain heart as well. I then used a stamp from the Birds of A Feather stamp set to place in the center of the heart.
The rooster is cut out using another new product. It is the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I LOVE these unusual shapes. The dies also have several rectangular shapes as well. I grounded the chicken and heart with the Real Red Ruched Ribbon. I also added a Real Red Glitter dot from the Toile Tidings Enamel Dots for the “O” in the Love.
I have paired products that are retiring from the Holiday Catalog with products that are debuting in the Mini Catalog 2020 soon. I love sharing how well all of the SU products pair together.
The retiring products are the Birds of A Feather Stamp set, the Real Red Ruched Ribbon, and the Toil Tiding Enamel Dots.

I hope you had a fabulous day yesterday! My hubby and I just relaxed all day, and ate too much.
Today’s card is another use for the Cup of Christmas Bundle. It shows that this stamp set doesn’t have to be for Christmas. To me it seems more like a wintertime set. And that is what I used it as.
To play along with the Global Design Project 221 Color Challenge, I made a cup of hot chocolate. To me that is most definitely a Sweet Treat!
Here is the Color Challenge:
These colors, and especially the Early Espresso, made me think of Hot Chocolate. I did a bit of a watercolor wash behind the cup using watered down Shaded Spruce at the bottom and Early Espresso at the top. It was supposed to be a little shadow and then steam coming out of the cup. But when I added the tag it covered up most of my steam. So I went with the tried and true “flicking” of color from Stampin’ Write Markers to give the background some color.
Thank you for stopping in today. Hopefully you have another day of relaxing to do. I hope you will come back tomorrow for another new project.

Merry Christmas to all of you!! I hope this day brings you happiness and love with family and friends. Today I am sharing the main Christmas card I sent out. I ran out towards the end of my list, Ooops!! I definitely miss counted. So the last ones were some I have been blogging with.
I used the Christmas Gleaming Stamp set along with the Christmastime Is Here Designer Series paper. The paper is all from the one pack. I stamped the Holly and colored it with stampin’ blends, and used it as a hanger for the ornament. The holly and the sentiment are the only stamping on the front of the card.
I wish you all great joy on this wonderful holiday!

I am giving one last love, probably, to Nature’s Beauty stamp set. I said probably because I may use it again as just a winter time card. I love the animals and the background I envision with them.
As with most of my cards, this did not end up the way I intended when I began. But I am okay with that. I started with the stamp set and saw the negative of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies from the challenge card the other day. That gave me the idea for sponging that I have not done in some time.
I used Pool Party and Balmy Blue for my background sponging but they did not show up very well. I wanted light, but this was too light. So I decided to give it a border. I first used the Journaling Pens on page 170 of the Annual Catalog. With the negative still in place, I just drew around the inside. I was a bit off, the negative slipped, but that is okay as well.
The journaling pens gave the look I wanted, but it still needed something. I decided this leaf would work perfectly. Sort of like the old pictures you see draped in pine boughs.
I hope this gives you some ideas for all of the negatives I am sure you have from using your die shapes. Thank you for stopping in today. Merry Christmas Eve!!

I have another sneak peek to share with you. This is one of the cutest sets from the upcoming Mini Catalog. I needed a birthday card and wanted it to be humorous. I had the new products near and when I looked through them I was immediately drawn to the Bonanza Buddies and Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper.
This card was for my upline Brian King on his birthday. After looking at the DSP, I knew it had to be the lion. Do you get it? The King of animals and Brian King, InKing Royalty. It made me laugh!
I paired the sentiment with a new punch. The back layer is the Timeless Label Punch and the front is the new Label Me Fancy Punch. They were a perfect fit.
I don’t usually show the inside of the cards. This one needed to be shared as I love this sentiment which is part of the Bonanza Buddies set. It is a perfect sentiment and I see using it by masking off the birthday part for other occasions.
Thank you for visiting today. Please come back tomorrow for another new project. I know you are all busy with Christmas almost here. I appreciate you sharing your time with me.
