Stampin' Creative Blog Hop: Deck the Halls with Perfectly Plaid

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently you are visiting Julie Davison from the middle of the United States (Central Illinois to be exact!). Happy Thanksgiving to all of my U.S. friends! Now that we've gotten the turkey out of the way, it's time to deck the halls! And that is exactly this month's theme for our Stampin' Creative Blog Hop!

My cards today both use the Perfectly Plaid bundle. I love stamps with coordinating punches! This card was inspired by a swap card I received from Brandi Barnard. I changed up the colors from her design for more of a natural coloring using Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, and Garden Green.

I tried the same layout with adding Cherry Cobbler and switching out the Soft Suede for Crumb Cake. Which way do you like it best? Leave me a comment and let me know!

I didn't stop there and I kept tweaking my card design until I came up with something completely different. Here is the version that I ended up using for my Christmas Card Class last month. This simplified version is much more of a "Julie" card! It still used the same elements as the first card, but it's not as busy.

I hope that my cards have inspired you! Have you put up your Christmas tree yet? We usually wait until after Thanksgiving and will hopefully get it by the end of the weekend! Christmas is coming soon!!

That's all from me today! Be sure to come back and visit for more Christmas projects! I'll be sharing some fun video tutorials next week!  For now, it's time to carry on with the blog hop and see what other amazing projects my Stampin' friends from around the world have created to help you "deck the halls" this season!

    Christmastime is Here Triple Banner Card

    Have you gotten the Christmastime is Here Designer Paper yet? What are you waiting for? This gorgeous paper is only available while supplies last and it's not too Christmas-y! I think it will carry over into Valentine's Day perfectly! I used my go-to card layout to show off some of the patterns in this pretty paper. Each designer paper banner is 1-1/2" x 5", with a little extra cut off the top of the middle one.

    If the layout looks familiar, it's because I used it a lot this fall to make cards with the Everything Festive stamp set an different designer paper from the Holiday Catalog.

    Tasteful Textures: The Dogs Ate My Card!!

    Whether you are a regular visitor or just hopping by, welcome to Julie's Stamping Spot! I'm so excited to be participating in the Top Ten International Highlights Winner’s Blog Hop November 2019 hosted by Kylie Bertucci! First, I want to thank you for taking the time to vote for my card in the gallery a couple of weeks ago. There were so many amazing projects and I am honored to have my card receive so many votes!

     The theme of this month's blog hop is "Encouragement". Earlier this month, I recognized members of my team for their awesome personal sales, recruiting, and leadership during the last Stampin' Up! year. Each of my top performers got a certificate and the Tasteful Textures stamp set, so it would only appropriate that I use the same stamp set to create an encouraging card to send along with the stamp set.

    Here's what I came up with. I had given my team a color challenge, so I used three of the four challenge colors on my card: Night of Navy, Smoky Slate, and Rococo Rose. The detailed dies that coordinate with this stamp set are amazing! I accented the flowers with the In Color Faceted Gems.

    Late last week, I left the house for 20 minutes to go pick up my kids from school and while I was gone, my dogs got into a box on my floor and chewed up one of my cards! I'm not sure if it's a sign that they liked it or didn't like it! It's hard to stay mad at these cute faces for too long! Have your pets every destroyed one of your projects?
