This is one of those projects I make each year: a desktop calendar. It's fun to change the patterned paper and designs and to add a special quote or image.

Warm Welcome Christmas Card

I'm working on Christmas cards for customers and team members, my November Paper Pumpkin kit, tags, projects for class next week, and December's birthday and thank you cards.

Floating Candy Canes Technique
You may have recently seen the "floating" greeting card technique while browsing Pinterest. A card shared by stamper Dr. Robin caught my eye. I followed her directions and created a Christmas card to make during a recent class. My ladies so enjoyed creating this card. I started to think. What other current products could I use to show this technique and make it my own? I landed on Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Candy Canes Bundle. Find it on pages 8-9 of Stampin' Up!'s July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Just a note: This suite retires January 4, 2023. Be sure to order it before it's gone.
