Rubber Stamping & Card Making with Yapha

I was excited to see a cute new Thanksgiving Set in this catalog. It is great for for watercoloring, which is super fun with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons. Below are two cards I made with this versatile set. It can be cute or elegant, depending on what you pair it with!

It’s not too late to order this set to make Thanksgiving cards and other table decorations!

My two favorite items in the Holiday Mini Catalog are the Season of Friendship stamp set and the Top Note Bigz Die. I combined the two to make this fabulous fall card. We made this card at my Intro to Stamping class last weekend.

Do you love it? I love it!

My daughter Eve shows remarkable patience for a 5 year old. When we moved to our new home in August, I told her that she could choose which of the Décor Elements she wanted to put up on her new walls. And I suggested that since we saw such cool sneak peeks of what was coming in Phase II, that she might want to wait until they were announced on September 15. So she waited for SIX WEEKS to see what was coming. But it was worth it, because she found these wonderful butterflies from the Flitting By set. Except that the butterflies weren’t available in the demonstrator pre-order, so she had to wait even longer to actually order them. But she knew what she wanted and waited patiently to get them! They look fabulous on her walls! (Much better than what is showing up in the picture.)  She even put up some of the flowers and the single-layer butterfly herself.

I love the Décor Elements line! It is such an easy way to add classy decorations!
