Hello everyone! For Facebook Friday this week I shared a couple of fun card ideas to get some last minute Christmas cards made using the Snowman Season stamp set and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper.
Please join me over on on my *Stampin’ Anne Facebook Page* Friday at 4:00 pm CST, where I share some fun Stampin’ Up!® projects. If you can’t make it Live, you can always watch the replay. Also, I’d like to invite you to join my Stampin’ Anne Facebook Group for more updates, promotions, upcoming classes and exclusive projects. Everyone is welcome!

The Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper is probably my favorite paper pack in the August - December Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog. This paper, along with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders I used on these cards, will be retiring on January 4th (or while supplies last) and is SO perfect for so many occasions. It’s great for holiday cards, fall cards or just all-occasion cards, too. I think I am on my 4th pack of this paper, I use it THAT much! If you don’t have this DSP, I highly recommend picking up one (or five) packs of it. :) For Facebook Friday, I wanted to show how just by changing up the cardstock and ribbon colors, you can create some fun holiday cards, ready to pop in the mail. The sentiments on this card are not specific to Christmas either, so if you are running a little late, you can just make them “New Year” cards!
