Stampin' Up! Artisan DesignTeam Blog Hop - Frosted Medallions

Hello...and welcome to the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. I'm so happy you're here!

Today I'm featuring the Frosted Medallions Stamp Set...currently available in the Holiday Catalog.
It's perfect for everything winter, New Year's, and Nordic, too...which is so on trend right now! Just check out the holiday linens, wrapping paper and decor at Ikea...it's all about the Nordic look...and I LOVE being able to create something in the studio that goes perfectly with what I'm seeing in the stores!

But...today's project is my welcome to the new 2017 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!

In thinking about my welcome this sentiment stood out...perfectly capturing the way I want to welcome the new Artisans. The best is yet to come...because...if in the next year they find even half the friendship, support and love that I have as an Artisan their best days are truly yet to come.

So...for the last time...if you're hopping in order you've just come from the AMAZING STEFFI...and I know you'll want to hop over to see what my FABULOUS FRIEND SUSAN has for you!

Bear Hugs for You

I spent some time today designing a little box that's been on my "To Do" list for quite some time...and I couldn't be more pleased at how cute it is!

Serious cuteness...right?

It feels like I'm forever buying the little packages of tissues for our grandsons...and I wanted to step up the presentation. Ha! It's totally lost on them...but I love it...so it's a win-win in my opinion.

I started here...

and then put together a little tag...

for this as my final step up.

I've done a couple more...so I'll pop back in later this week to show them off...and I'll put together a tutorial, too!

In the meantime...

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop...our first for December...and tonight I'm featuring the Hello December 2016 Project Life Card Collection.

If you've visited here before you know that I love products that are versatile, that I love gift packaging and that I love to have packaging items at the ready! And seriously...Project Life by Stampin' Up! products check every one of those boxes...and I get just what I need! What's better than that...especially during a busy holiday season? So...I grabbed a Card Collection, a couple of punches and embellishments...a bit of adhesive...and before long I had this...twelve at the ready projects just for the holidays.

I think that Project Life Card Collection 3x4 cards make the easiest tags and card fronts...EVER! They're the perfect size for either. And first...a bit of back story on the way I approach tag making. My favorite celebrity chef is Ina Garten...aka the Barefoot Contessa. I. LOVE. HER. SO. MUCH...I can't even describe how much...and how much I've learned from her. One of the things she often says is that she likes to add something that shows what's in the dish she's presenting. Like...her recipe for french toast includes orange zest...so she'll add an orange slice to the platter of french toast before she puts on the table. I LOVE that...and I love to do the same with my tags...like these tags.

I know two little guys who are getting hunting vests for Christmas...and those gifts will be packaged with these tags. It's a little extra touch that I love. And then...I'll photograph those little dudes opening their gifts...and trying on their vests...and together those photos and these tags I'll have a completed Project Life album page!

Each year I stitch a host of tree ornaments as gifts...so I'll package them in kraft gift bags...and these tags with a fun sneak peek to what's inside!

I think I have six ornaments to make this year...so I'm good with the packaging.

And finally...I can use any of these card projects as note card fronts, too...including these...

like I've done here.

Thank you so much for hanging out with the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team this month! If you're hopping in order...you've just come from the amazing Steffi...and I know you'll want to visit my friend Susan, too. She'll have something fabulous for you!
