September We Bee Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Favorite Mini Bundle

Hello there!

The We Bee Stamping Team is excited to bring you more inspiration through our monthly Blog Hop. This month we're celebrating our favorite bundle in the new mini catalog.

My fave is, hands down, the Whimsy & Wonder Suite.

The DSP is awesome! It has a shimmery, iridescent shine throughout the designs on one side of each 12x12 sheet.

Here's a close-up shot. Can you see it on the holly leaves, ribbon on the presents and on the big tree? I have posted my TikTok video at the bottom so you can see the entire suite on video (and to see more tips and tricks follow me on TikTok - @kimskreativekorner)

Of course I had to do a fun-fold too. It's a nice, easy bridge fold.

Just look at those fun, different shaped trees. Love them!

A panel on the back leaves lots of room for writing the recipient a note.

I love everything about this suite, but I think the non-traditional colors & the DSP are the biggest draw for me - which is surprising since I'm such a traditional person. I spent the entire weekend just playing with this suite in my craft room. It's been so unbearably hot here in Illinois that I was welcoming a little Christmas in August feel. I made a lot of cards so stay tuned because I will be sharing them in the near future :)

Now, on with the Blog Hop! Please check out the beautiful cards the rest of my friends have made by clicking on the links below.

Gnome Home Swap Card

Happy Saturday! (If you're reading this as it's posted!) I am currently knee deep in projects at a fun weekend retreat. I wanted to share the card I made for our swap at the retreat.

I gleefully call it my "Gnome Home" card.

Yep, I jumped on the Gnome wagon. How could I not? These guys are so darn cute!!!

I knew my biggest difficulty was going to be die cutting 65 of the cattails, but it got done!

Then of course I couldn't leave the tips of the cattails green so they had to be colored with my bronze Stampin' Blend. I was struggling with getting the bronze on blades of grass. I didn't want that! So, I took a post-it note strip and weaved it behind each of the cattails and over the tips of the blades of grass. Viola! That did the trick! So much easier to color that way!

See, not a blade of grass discolored now 😉

A fun pile of grass & cattails!

Onto my favorite.....GNOMES!!!! I tell ya, I just giggled as I was putting these little guys together. LOL! They make me all giddy! Yea, I know, it doesn't take much to amuse me, but just try to make them and you'll see for yourself!
