Welcome to Stamps Well With Others! I hope you will find some inspiration within the pages here. I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, so please contact me at StampsWellWithOthers@gmail.com if you have any questions.
I was so excited when my All is Bright Designer Series Paper arrived so I could make this card. It arrived Thursday and here it is! I just love these old fashioned Christmas Bulbs. Hopefully this weekend we can up the new lights we bought for the house. Red and White - just like these, except clear (like the clear ones on here). I can hardly wait to see how they look. We've always had multi-colored lights so it will be so new to have just two colors! Anyway, I wandered... On to the card!

Thank you for looking in today! One more day of work and I have a week off - I'm so excited! Happy Friday! ~ Donna
Surprise, it's not a Christmas Card or Snowmen! It is shiny though. I'm thinking I need to add some rhinestones before sending it to the birthday recipient, what do you think?
Recipe: Whisper White Thick - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4" Gold Glimmer Paper - 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper - 5 1/2" x 3" Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper - 4 1/2" x 2" - Punched with Banner Punch Whisper White Cardstock scrap - for sentiment
When adhering the Designer Series Paper to the glimmer paper, I suggest using the Tear and Tape for a stronger hold.
Thank you for looking in today! Happy Thursday... almost the weekend - woo hooo! ~ Donna
So, I know I'm a little behind the times with this, but better late than never. Now that my long hours at work are over, I can enjoy stamping and you still have time to Catch a Snowflake! A little secret... I just ordered mine yesterday! I know, I know... practice what you preach. That means you can still order them too! Use Hostess Code FKJZ67WG and with a qualifying order I'll send you our Corrugated Embossing Folder.

Thank you for looking in today. Be sure to check out these beautiful snowflakes! ~Donna
These snow friends are having such fun dancing and jumping around in the snow.
This was so fast and easy to make. I think I want to change the tree background to something else or make it bigger so you can see more of it, but I just noticed that just now. HA!

Before we begin... I wanted to share the link to the list of items that are excluded from the Online Extravaganza... click here to see the list. These cute little snowmen have been waiting so patiently for me to get them out of the box and start stamping with them! Do you notice anything about the little snowman? He doesn't really come with ice skates, but he wanted to skate with his friend, so I added the "skate" part to his boots!

I really like this month's Paper Pumpkin. So easy to put together and beautiful too! The envelopes are pre-lined with coordinating paper and look how nice the look with both card patterns.
Here is the 2nd version. I really love the pine boughs for making the wreath and the perfect ribbon for making easy bows.
Thank you for looking in today! Happy Tuesday, two more days to Turkey Day! What are your Thanksgiving Day plans? ~ Donna
This year I really do have Many Blessings to be thankful for. One of the biggest personal events that happened this year began on April 1, 2018, when an Aunt I never knew about found me through Ancestry.com. She is the half sister of my Natural Mother that gave me up for adoption at birth, knowing she couldn't raise me on her own. Turns out, she'd been looking for me for three years after finding out that sister had a child! ME! So, now I have a Thanksgiving Card already in the mail to my new family. I don't believe I've ever sent a Thanksgiving Card to anyone. That makes this a first for me!

I wrapped the top piece of Crushed Curry with Copper Trim Ribbon. Thank you for looking in today! It was so nice to be stamping a little bit this weekend. I think I should be able to get back on track... if I can just find the top of my stamping table! It's been a collector of everything lately. Time to clear it off - going to need a place to eat Thanksgiving Dinner! Happy Monday! ~ Donna
