And here's the project it inspired:

The Extraordinary Life Bundle coordinates with the Beautiful Ordinary Life Suite Collection, and it has many elements that will work for card designs as well as for scrapbooking, as this project shows.

The landscape card base was created from Basic White Cardstock measuring 11" x 4¼", scored at 5½". A rectangle of the dotted Pool Party pattern from the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 5½" x 4¼" was adhered directly to the folded card base.

A long strip of Basic Black Cardstock approximately ¾" wide was cut with the long scallop border die from the Bordered in Beauty Dies. This die-cut edge was then adhered to the reverse of the long side of a rectangle of the hexagon pattern from the same DSP measuring 4¼" x 1⅝" to create a narrow scalloped border for the bottom edge, and trimmed to fit. This was then adhered to the centre of the card front.

A square of the chevron pattern from the same DSP measuring 2½" x 2½" was adhered centrally over the hexagon patterned layer. The sentiment, from the Phrases and Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using the Basic Black Hybrid Stampin' Pad™ and cut out using the 1¾" Circle Punch. The stamped circle was then added to the center of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

Using the stamp from the Extraordinary Life Photopolymer Stamp Set, three butterflies were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using black ink and cut out with the coordinating die from the Extraordinary Life Dies. Colour was added to the middle of each butterfly using Sponge Daubers with Lemon Lolly and Golden Glow Classic Stampin' Ink™. These were then added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots™. A simple foliage stem from the Floral Flight Accents was adhered to the card front, tucked under the sentiment circle. Flirty Flamingo gems from the Array of Dots were added as final embellishments.

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The cozy imagery of the Keep Warm Photopolymer Stamp Set is combined with a modern colour palette to create this fun, festive project.
 

The second mask from the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks was used with a Blending Brush and Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin' Ink™ on a folded Pretty in Pink card base to place a snowflake image centrally to form the background. A dark Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blend™ was used to add additional ink splatters.

The sweater, hat, and a pair of mitten images from the Keep Warm Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Night of Navy ink. The images were coloured using Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy Stampin' Blends, and carefully cut out. The "’tis the season" sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy on a ¾" x 2¼" strip of Lost Lagoon Cardstock. The right end of the stamped strip and the right end of a ½" x 2¼" strip of Night of Navy Cardstock were each cut to form flags.

The Night of Navy strip was adhered directly to the card front as shown. A length of White Baker's Twine (from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack) was adhered to the pair of mittens, and the mittens added to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals™. The sentiment strip was added over the looped twine, also with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sweater and hat were added to the card front, again using Stampin' Dimensionals, and Balmy Blue Frosted Iridescent Dots added as the final embellishments.

And here's the project it inspired:

This project combines the Christmas tree imagery in the Pine Tree Trimmings Bundle with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler to create a classic Christmas card design.
 

The fir tree image from the Pine Tree Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped twice in the centre of a Basic White layer (4" x 5¼") using Garden Green Classic Stampin' Ink™. The solid tree image from the same stamp set was stamped on Garden Green cardstock, again using Garden Green ink, and cut out using the coordinating die from the Pine Tree Trimmings Dies.

Using additional dies from the same set, a star and two garland elements were cut from Gold Foil Sheets, and adhered to the die-cut tree. The tree element was then added to the centre of the stamped Basic White panel using Stampin' Dimensionals™

The sentiment was stamped on a 3" x ⅝" strip of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using VersaMark™ Ink, and embossed using white powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder. The embossed strip was adhered across the top of the die-cut tree with Stampin' Dimensionals at each end.

White & Gold Baker's Twine was wrapped around the two opposite corners of the card panel, and tied in a bow at the top left corner. The completed panel was then added to a folded Cherry Cobbler card base. Iridescent Foiled Gems were added as the final embellishments.

And here's the project it inspired:

The North Pole Delivery 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper includes 2 sheets of single-sided die-cut printed elements, which make creating cards with this cute suite even easier as you don't even need to cut them out yourself!
 

The postage stamp rectangle was die cut from Basic White Cardstock using the second largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies. The sentiment, from the Jolly Delivery Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink in the bottom right-hand corner of the die cut. A length of Real Red & White Baker's Twine was looped around the top of the die cut, and tied in a bow in the top right-hand corner. The rectangle was then added to a folded Pool Party card base at an angle using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

Four of the larger envelope elements were taken from the paper pack's die cut sheets. Two envelopes were adhered directly to the white layer (the first and third in the line), and then the other two added using Stampin' Dimensionals.
