Not only are stitches a classic trend, they illustrate the quality, precision, and extra care taken when creating a piece. Giving a stitched gift shows just how much you value that relationship. Now you have the opportunity to purchase Stitched Shapes Framelits ahead of their official release in the 2017-2018 annual catalog and get 25% off coordinating stamp sets. With Stitched Shapes Framelits you can make paper stitches in seconds, turning any project into one that is stitched from the heart.  Although the 25% off stamps sets ends November 30, you will still be able to get the Stitched Shapes Framelits after that date.

Are you thinking about Christmas yet?  Well, if you are thinking about making your own cards, you probably should be :).  For today’s card, I used the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper, the Tin Of Tags Photopolymer Stamp Set, the Merry Tags Framelits Dies, the Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies, and the Project Life Corner Punch.  The colors in this paper pack are Cherry Cobbler, Delightful Dijon, Early Espresso, Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron, Whisper White.  I was out of town when I made this card and I did not have the Cherry Cobbler Ink to stamp the sentiment with, so I used Real Red instead.  Since I was stamping on colored paper, it looks darker and blends in with the Cherry Cobbler in the paper (I know the paper looks like Real Red in the pictures but it is Cherry Cobbler).

Today’s cards were as easy to make as it gets.  I used the Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Project Life Card Collection (original price $16 but on clearance now for just $4.80!).  Project Life (PL) card collections typically contain cards in three sizes: 4″x6″, 4″x4″, and 3″x4″.  Some kits, including the accessory kits, also have 2″x2″ cards.
