Stampin' Up!'s Quilt Builder Framelits dies were used for these cards.  I cut the "quilt squares" out of six different pieces of their card stock and Be Merry designer series papers and pieced them together in different color patterns.  The sentiment is from the coordinating Christmas Quilt stamp set.  The large six petal flower can be found in both the stamp set and die set. The small poinsettia stamp is from the Carols of Christmas stamp set.  On one I added a few die cuts from their Pretty Pines Thinlits. I love these colors together.




Here's another card using Stampin' Up!'s Smitten Mittens stamp set with their coordinating Many Mittens Framelits dies and Real Red ink on a sheet of designer paper from their Quilted Christmas set.  The sentiment is from their Hang Your Stocking stamp set. I have stamped the mittens in probably a dozen or more colors just have to get the rest of the cards put together. Hopefully in the next day or two.  A2 card size.
I love these detail die cut mittens from Stampin' Up!'s Many Mittens Framelits set.  Makes for a quick and easy card by just gluing them to any Christmas designer paper you have in your stash.  I used white card stock for a backing so the design doesn't show thru the mittens. A7 size card.
And here's another card using the Swirly Snowflake Thinlits dies from Stampin' Up!.  The sentiment is from the coordinating Snowflake Sentiments stamp set using their Night of Navy ink.  This is an A7 size card so since the die wasn't large enough to go across the front of the card I die cut the two snowflakes on the left end first and then lined up the same die again on the right hand end of my card stock.  I did this twice for the upper and lower die cuts.  It sounds a bit tricky but really worked out very well.
This card uses dies cuts from Stampin' Up!'s Swirly Snowflake Thinlits set which I placed on some holiday designer paper that I had in my stash.  The sentiment is from their coordinating Snowflake Sentiments stamp set using their Real Red ink.  A2 size card.
Another double Z-fold card this time using Stampin' Up!'s Santa's Sleigh Framelits Dies. I used some iridescent paper that I found in my stash.  Don't know where I got it from but what a wonderful effect it has on this card - it looks different from every angle.  I have also stamped some snowflakes using the stamps from the October Paper Pumpkin kit and the sentiment from the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  A7 size card.
Stampin' Up!'s Santa's Sleigh Framelits dies were used for this Holiday Card. These wonderful dies make creating a beautiful card so easy.  The sentiment is from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.  All added to a mat that I embossed using Anna Griffin's Cuttlebug Snowfall folder. A7 size card.
This is definitely my favorite card that I made using Stampin' Up!'s Pretty Pines Thinlits dies.   I have added 2 birds die cut from their Birds & Blooms Thinlits.  The sentiment is from their October Paper Pumpkin kit.  The top mat is from their Color Theory Card stack. It was inspired and CASEd by a card I saw on Pinterest created by Debbie Henderson.  A7 size card.
This was inspired and CASEd from a card I saw on Pinterest by Bev Gerard.  The die cuts are again from Stampin' Up!'s  Pretty Pines Thinlits. The sentiment is from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used Anna Griffin's Cuttlebug Deer Run embossing folder on the white mat.  A7 size card.
Another Christmas card using Stampin' Up!'s Pretty Pine Thinlits, combined with a mitten die cut with their Christmas Stocking Thinlits  with a  white embossed snowflake design from the coordinating Hang Your Stocking stamp set. I've added a few flowers I had in my stash that were cut with dies from their Seasonal Layers Thinlits. A2 size card.
This card was stamped using Stampin' Up!'s Christmas Happiness stamp set with their Bermuda Bay ink.  It was CASEd from a card I saw on Pinterest designed by DeAnn Rauzi.  The sentiment and ornaments are from their Carols of Christmas stamp set.  And the tiny snowflakes from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit. A7 size card.
Loving the Pretty Pine Thinlits from Stampin' Up! that I used for this card.  I cut out boughs in several different shades of green cardstock.  The pine cones and bows are from the same set.  The sentiment is from their October 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink. A7 size card.  This card was CASEd from one I saw on pinterest made by Bonnie O'Neill.
This card was created with Stampin Ups' Christmas Stocking Thinlets using some designer paper from my stash.  A7 size card.

These two double Z-Fold cards  were the first I made in this style.  Took me a while to get the measurements right.  The stockings were cut with Stampin Up's Christmas Stocking Thinlets. The sentiment on the front of the cards is from their Paper Pumpkin kit from October 2017.  The upper inside sentiment is from their Santa's Sleigh stamp set and the lower sentiment is from Hero Arts set #CL722.  I used designer paper that I had in my stash.  A2 size cards.
I CASEd this card from one I saw on Pinterest made by Christie Fulk.  The green plaid paper was from the October 2017 Paper Pumpkin.  The stamp set and sentiment are from Stampin Up's Hearts Come Home stamp set - which I stamped with their Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler inks.  A2 Card Size. Thanks Christie for the inspiration.
