TRIMMING THE TOWN SUITE

Now is a great time to make something adorable and make a difference! The Coming Home stamp set (#153500) is part of the popular Trimming The Town suite and is the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue Making a Difference stamp set.

When you purchase the Coming Home stamp set you'll be a part of supporting adoption, foster care, and infertility charities.

Personally, I love how the Home Together Dies coordinate with both the stamps and the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (#153491). It makes is simple and fast to create layered scenes on card and decor projects.

I think you'll love this whole suite!

TIPS: You can make the house treat box longer to fit bigger candies or gifts. Keep the 1-1/4" width the same and increase the 2-1/2" length to your preferred size. The score lines measurements will remain the same at 1/8" along the long sides and 3/4" along the 1-1/4" sides.

PLAID TIDINGS SUITE

I'm often asked about the best all around stamp set or which stamp set a new stamper should start with. You know I love stamps, so I'd never say that there is one stamp set that covers all the bases, but the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue does have a stamp set is about as close as it gets. I think you'll love the Celebrations Tidings stamp set that is part of the Plaid Tidings Suite.

If you are new to stamping, the Celebration Tidings stamp set is a great place to start since it has greetings and images that span the holidays and occasions from Autumn through to Valentine's Day.

If you are an avid stamper, like me, you won't want to overlook this gem. Add on the coordinating Celebration Labels Dies and Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and they'll bring you tidings of joyful creativity. Heat embossing and colouring techniques are ideal for this suite!

The tutorial I'm sharing features an interchangeable, multi-season, decor frame. This frame would make an amazing gift. Who do you know that would love to display this in their home? I can think of a bunch of people on my gift list!
