I’m so excited to be part of today’s Artisan Novem I’m so excited to be part of today’s Artisan November Insta hop featuring @stampinupofficial’s On Display Bundle from the Online Exclusives. How fun and versatile is this bundle! 

I love making these two cards.  It was especially fun to build my own vintage furniture and I felt like both cards were telling a story… 

For my first card, I used neutral tones featuring the Country Woods  Designer Series Paper, for the bird cage. I also cut down the piece of furniture to turn it into a table with a rug underneath, using the Lovely Doilies. I did the watercolor technique for my plant and used one of my favorite folders, the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. 

For the second card, I thought of doing a Christmas theme since we are all in the holiday spirit. I used the Country Woods Designer Series Paper for the furniture. I used my scoring tool to add a wainscoting background and decorated with the Christmas Tags & More Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints, the Real Red And White Baker’s Twine and the bundle. The Sentiment came from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

There’s something so peaceful about pine branches There’s something so peaceful about pine branches and snowflakes. 

Today’s project features the Color Fusers Color Challenge for November, using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, and Pretty Peacock — such a rich and elegant combo! 

I’ve been creating with @stampinupofficial ‘s Elegant Pine Snowflake Suite Collection, and honestly, it’s pure winter magic. The colors, the textures, the shimmer… it all comes together so gracefully.
