Here's the first card we made for World Card Making Day.  This card uses the Cottage Rose Bundle | Item 159048.  This is from the Abigail Rose Suite from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog page 56.   This card featured die cuts and the use of Blends Markers to color our rose.   You can find the dimensions and instructions here, under Card Making Instructions / US.  You'll receive a .pdf with instructions and dimensions for all 3 cards.

You'll love the different card designs you can create using images from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set or images from the coordinating Abigail Rose 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, and the Die cuts from the Cottage Flowers Dies.  Below are a few of the cards I've created with Cottage Ross Bundle from the Abigail Rose Suite Collection.

The next card Stampin' Up! showed us how to create used the Warm Welcome Bundle | Item 160704.  This is a new bundle that isn't in any current catalog.  It is a sneak peek from the upcoming January-June Mini Catalog.  We also used Blends Markers to color one of the Free Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels that came with our order to use as a door knob.  And we can order the Warm Welcome Bundle NOW!  Here's the cute card we made.  This card featured using Blending Brushes and Colored Pencils.  Its always fun to use a variety of techniques on a handmade card.

I'm having a great time finding ways to use this new bundle.  Here are a few of the cards I've made with the Warm Welcome Bundle so far.  Isn't the cat cute?  Also, the dies come with house numbers and placards of different sizes so you can really personalize your cards.

The third card Stampin' Up! created used the Cottage Wreaths Bundle | Item 159659.  I loved that Stampin' Up! gave us the freedom to use any similar stamps we already had if we didn't have the bundle they used.  It helps jumpstart your creativity when you can see a card design, and then use what you have to make a similar card.  Instead of using Cottage Wreaths Bundle, I used the wreath from the Natural Prints Dies | Item158800, and paired it with the Christmas Pinecone Dies |Item 156309.  I used a sentiment from the Hope & Peace Stamp Set | Item 159773. We used the same color scheme as the card from Stampin' Up!, with our own twist.

We enjoyed watching the virtual Stampin' Up! Demonstrator during our live Houston TX watch party!
