Happy Tuesday, friends! Today I'm sharing three Christmas-themed cards with you featuring stamps, dies, and stencils from the STAMPtember 2021 Release. These cards were actually created in August but I hadn't had a good chance to share them until now! (STAMPtember was crazy!).
Reminder:I am giving away all but the STAMPtember 2021 Collaboration stamp sets (the exception is the Mama Elephant set as I already gave that away to a friend). For a chance to win, visit THIS blog post.

Happy weekend, stampers! Yesterday I went live on YouTube with these Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp Flippy FlappyWinter Birds cards. As this was a Live video and things don't always go totally as planned, I decided to make a few changes to the card we created and I have an edited video to share in addition to the Live Replay. It's not a "from start to finish" edited version but more of a "how to fix things that don't go as planned" video. I hope you enjoy the replay and the bonus content!

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️
