Feels Like Frost DP

This beautiful paper was in last year's Holiday Mini and it was high on my wish list...but I had to get other things first, and by the time I could get this paper, it had already sold out! I was SO bummed! But for whatever happy reason, Stampin' Up! decided to re-release a few returning favorites from last year, this year! You better believe I snagged this paper fast! And it. is. gorgeous!!! Every one of the photographic prints are my favorite! haha..... but seriously!!! 

I hadn't stamped in 20 days (this is rough, guys!) and yesterday I woke up wanting to see if it would be "too plain" to do half a sheet of this paper, with one "big" greeting on the side with maybe a strip of ribbon.... It took most of the day, but I got these done and they are not too plain and I love them! If I'd had time, and the Pretty Peacock ink pad (instead of the marker) I would have tried all of the paper! Seriously! 

I paired the first three cards with this year's Holiday Mini Christmas must-have- this stamp set called Christmas Means More. One of my very favorite, must-watch-every-year-even-in-summer is the old cartoon of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. This first card uses one of the best lines from that and that alone made me NEED this set. The other phrases come from other movies (one I've only sat thru once, lol) but I like them too!

Then I pulled out a different set of words because I thought this one looked more autumnal than wintery. And I love this new Natural Ribbon, also in the Holiday Mini.

Supplies:

Stamps: Lovely You 

Ink: Night of Navy

Paper: Feels Like Frost DP, Very Vanilla card stock

Accessories: Natural Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

And then I remembered these words have a coordinating punch. And this pretty print does look wintery up close, but when you use all three shades of purple, it has a spring-ish look to it too.

Stamps: Lovely You 

Ink: Gorgeous Grape

Paper: Feels Like Frost DP, Highland Heather & Purple Posy card stock

Anyway, I had a fun little afternoon putting all of these together and I'm really excited to make more soon!
