Hello and welcome to my blog and to the Stamp Review Crew Christmas Pines blog hop. Yippee! This is my first hop with the Stamp Review Crew and I am so excited you are here.

A little about me ... I am an avid paper crafter and designer. I feel super lucky to work in the crafting industry and to share my love of all things stamps & paper. I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and have the great priviledge to be affiliated with SU since 2002.

So what is the Stamp Review Crew? We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world that get together to blog hop on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month. We create a project based on a single stamp set. Let me tell you, I am in good company. These stampers are seriously amazing! The hop aims to travel in a circular fashion, but if you get lost along the way, just click on the banner above to take you to the main SRC page.

Today's hop is all about the Christmas Pines stamp set. This is a LARGE holiday set with tons of fun pieces that coordinate and layer. This set also has coordinating tools; an embossing folder and thinlets. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.

The large NOEL and the pine boughs are what first drew me to this product bundle. I'm a sucker for large stamp words. I stamped the NOEL in Dapper Denim on Whisper White. Lately I'm crazy for the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, so of course I had to use it again on this card. I hand cut little yellow bells come from the Presents and Pinecones designer series paper. I love how wintery this card feels.
