Snowflakes Everywhere

Is the snow falling yet where you live? 

A few of our designers are showcasing snowflake-inspired cards today as we head into Winter. 

Currently in Oregon (this is Heidi talking) all it's doing is rain and more rain, but I'm still crossing my fingers for just a little bit of a white winter! It's not so common around here (at least the part of Oregon I live in), but a girl can dream!

Anything Goes

Sometimes when you sit down to stamp you aren't sure what you are going to create or you just want to create something with no guidelines and today our designers are doing just that. Our post today is anything goes. So we hope you enjoy our cards for today and that you are inkspired to stamp something today. Monday we will be back with our Card Sketch. We hope you will join us.

Project Life

Today we are showing you how easy it is to create a variety of projects with Stampin' Up!'s Project Life Collections.  If you have never used them to make cards or to scrapbook, what are you waiting for?!

Check out what our Design Team Members created with our Card Collections, Accessory Packs and Stamp Sets...

Paper Pumpkin

Have you seen the Paper Pumpkin Kit for September 2015?!  If you didn't get your hands on it, you will be sorry.  It's SO CUTE!!

Watch this video and then sign up with your demonstrator so that you  never miss another month!

One of the great things about Paper Pumpkin is that when you are done with the projects, you will have the stamp sets to use FOREVER!  There are always bits and pieces of kits left over and you can see how a few of our Design Team Members used those pieces to create other cards!
