CupCards To Go

Holiday 2014 Kit

The day is finally here! Our coveted Holiday Kit, Christmas Cheer, is ready for viewing and looking forward to being in YOUR hands. Just take a look at all the awesome goodies you get in this kit! WOW! I especially love that little gingerbread man with 10 YARDS of bakers twine wrapped around his body. He can even be used as a template for an element on your card or make it the card itself. So many possibilities. I just couldn't resist his cuteness. ;)

Our designers have gone over the top with this kit...go take a peek in the gallery and you will see what I'm talking about. And, I couldn't go on without a mention of our awesome guest designer, Hilary Kanwischer. She was on the team a couple of years ago and I am so excited to have her return for a guest spot this month. Thank you, Hilary! She has a challenge for you all coming up in a couple of weeks and would love to have you join her. So get ready!! This will be such a fun kit!

Be Merry - Decorative Envelopes

I seriously can't believe how fast this month is going. In a few weeks will be in a flurry of holiday goodness. Have you started making your holiday cards yet? Well, be sure to decorate that envelope too. 

Decorative envelopes are one my favorite pieces of cardmaking. It's a little tease of what's inside. Here are few designs from our team members.

Cherry

Tiffany

Michele

Now show us what you do with those envelopes. Be sure to link us up in the comments section, Flickr or our Facebook fan page. 

Happy Creating!

Be Merry Holiday Kit - Sketch

 

Happy Saturday!

It's time for a holiday sketch brought to you by DT member Tiffany. The team totally outdid themselves. Check out their contributions below!

I love how Jeni replaced the holly berries from the sketch with the trio flowers.

Danni chose to highlight the holly berries with her choice in patterned paper and the berry embellishment cluster.

I am in love with Cherry's gorgeous card and matching envie with a reindeer theme. 

Tiffany's cluster of flower embellishment makes her elegant card simply stunning!

Michele chose to move the sentiment and embellishments to the right of her card so that floating circle sentiment could stand out.

Now...it's your turn! 

We want to see your take on the sketch and you just might be chosen for a stamp prize! We love prizes, don't we?

So get to creating and link us up in the comments section, Flickr or our Facebook fan page.
