Sparkly Seasons - Stampin' UP Artisan Blog Hop Finale

Welcome back to the Stampin' UP Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! 

We are finishing on our October 2015 box from Stampin' UP as well as our Artisan Team commitment. What a year plus a few months it has been!

This box was FULL of super fun holiday products 

from the NEW Stampin' UP Holiday Catalog!!!!!  
Creating with these amazing products and sharing with you all here has been my favorite thing to do! This week, 13 of us from all over the world will post on our blogs an inspiring project for you and a special offer with prizes! Be sure to get Google Translate so that you can read in your language all about how they created their projects too.  Now on to my very LAST 2014-2015 Artisan Design Team project....(let me get a tissue first)

This week we are showcasing the Sparkly Seasons Photopolymer Stamp Set and Seasonal Frames Thinlits Dies. This is a great "build your own" collection and you can buy it in a bundle for less! #140863

For my first card, I went with the Halloween theme. Chevron is my favorite pattern so naturally I had to make a purple chevron pumpkin!  It is sponged in Rich Razzleberry on the stamp. I took the large rectangle thinlit die and cut it with the Happy Haunting DSP and Black Glimmer Paper. The Banner Punch adds a flag of color to match the greeting thinlit SPOOKY. Another part I love is the Linen Thread behind the pumpkin to look like pumpkin patch vines.

 
Then I took the basic layout of the above card and switched it to a Christmas theme. Ok, that Reindeer Clip finally grew on me and I had to make it a Rudolph with the Real Red Pompom Trim. I stamped the Nutcracker and presents in Sahara Sand for a softer image behind the greeting.

And finally.....I absolutely love snowmen! I also love snowglobes! I even have a collection of them that I display each year at Christmas time. I have over 20! For my last card, I had to use the adorable snowman in a snowglobe, of course! I took a piece of window sheet and White Stazon to put the stirred snow stamp image in the globe. Another fun way to step up those Snowflake Elements is to add Pearls to them. The pretty patterns are from the Season of Cheer DSP. And you know White Glimmer Paper adds a sparky snow touch!

 Now for some real fun! It's Treasure Hunt time!

Thank you for following the 2014-2015 Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! I am a proud mama bear of this Global Team from all over the world! (We did it, ladies! WOOT!)

And on a personal note, I am forever grateful to have served Stampin UP on the past two Artisan Design Teams. (more tissues) I have gained many sisterhood friendships with each of these incredibly talented and sweet women! I have found huge support and encouragement among my followers and my peers. Each comment left on posts, meant the world to me and more then I could ever express! I am truly blessed! Thank you Stampin' UP for the journey! 
But don't fret, I am not going anywhere! I will still be posting weekly or monthly on new design teams or just me. 
Inspire. Create. Share. That's what I love to do.
