Festive & Fun for My October Bee Box Club

A Holiday Card with the Festive and Fun Stamp Set by Stampin Up! Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin

I made a cute card on my Facebook Live this week featuring the Festive & Fun stamp set! I love the bright and cheery colors – and this stamp set is true to its name – Festive & Fun!   I used the So Scalloped Contour Dies to create a scalloped edge on the front of the card.   The Merry Bold & Bright is a perfect DSP to compliment this fun stamp set!

You can watch the replay here:

I used a small tag from the Tailored Tag set of dies for the inside of the card – and added a few gems.

Create a Card with Laura Milligan using Winter Owls by Stampin’ Up!

Create a Card with Laura Milligan using Winter Owls by Stampin’ Up!

Video Tutorial With Laura Milligan - Create a card with the Winter Owls Bundle from Stampin' Up!

Oh how I love the WInter Owls bundle in our current Mini Catalog!   I have combined the beautiful, detailed die cut owl with the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (you can find it in our online exclusives in my Online Store)
For the moon, I used the Deckled Circle dies and a piece of the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper – I thought the subtle design looked like the man in the moon!  The star of the show of course is the owl – complete with silver foil on her wings.
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –

I love to add surprise touches to the inside of my cards and so added a die cut branch and one of the owls (stamped and die cut).

Celebrating the Season with the NEW Graceful Deer

Celebrating the Season with the NEW Graceful Deer

Create a card with the Graceful Deer Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! Laura Milligan Id Rather Bee Stampin Video Tutorial
I love the simpicity of the new Graceful Deer stamp set!  It just makes me feel a sense of peace.  The stamp set is large – it is designed to fill the entire card front – but I used just a part of it for my card today.  I  inked and stamped just part of it and then die cut the part I wanted with the Nested Essentials dies.   I die cut the same size die with Poppy Parade cardstock and off set them for my card.
The background paper for this card uses the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP – don’t see it in the catalog? That’s because it is an Online Exclusive – you can see them only online in my store!   The snowflakes are also an Online Exclusive.
A simple, yet pretty card!
Here is the recording of my Facebook Live –

Hop over here to check out the Easter Bunny Stamp Set! This set includes bunny images and sentiments perfect for different project types like Easter, spring, and more! It also features different elements that you will love to use for various scenes and creative options. Build your own scene by adding the little birdy on top of a floral sprig, putting the carrot in the bunny’s paws, or placing the butterfly on a bunny’s nose. You can also use the grass or eggs images repeatedly to create a border for your card fronts. Then choose your favorite coloring technique, color these cute images, and pair with the greeting of your choice!
