Happy Wednesday! Thanks to everyone that participated in our Instagram GIVEAWAY yesterday. We'll be announcing a winner at noon today (EST) so there's still a bit of time to participate.
I'm back with more Sneak Peeks of the October Collection. Today's peek is for a new set called Pining for You. This set includes 15 stamps in total and is great for holiday and winter-themed projects. It's a versatile set that includes sentiments and images that will play nicely with lots of other sets you may already own. Let's take a look!
This first card by Ilina is very sweet. Ilina has used two of the tiny trees together as a pair and stamped them repeatedly to create a patterned background. The sentiment is one of my favorites in the set.
I love the fun ink colors she chose for this card... bright yet peaceful at the same time.
To view more of Ilina's work, please visit her blog.
This clean and simple card is picture perfect! A matching die set is available for this set and you can see that Emily has used it very effectively on her card.
Our organdy sheer silver ribbon is the perfect finishing touch!

Lisa has created an adorable little village using the two different house images that are part of this set. It reminds me of the winter village scene that my mother always set up on the fireplace mantle around the holidays. Lisa made the snowy background by stamping the Snow Day Background on clear cardstock and heat embossing with white embossing powder. LOVE this!
I love the pretty frame that Lisa used around the sentiment. It's from the For You stamp set (on SALE now for half price!)
To view more of Lisa's work, please visit her blog.
Emily's card features the two little houses as well. You can also see a peek of the pretty star clusters that are included in this set.
Cherry Baker's Cording is always a great addition to holiday cards! Did you know that our spools of Baker's Cording include over 100 YARDS for only $9.95. Such a great value!

Our final peek for today is from Melissa and is a STUNNING clean and simple design. Melissa has used the starry window image to great effect, stamping it in Onyx ink. A stamp positioner (or a Misty) will help you achieve this dark black image with multiple stampings.
The little house looks so sweet closely trimmed and mounted on this starry scene! Add a few vanilla pearl stickers and a sentiment - the gorgeous hello stamp is from the Season's Tweetings set that I shared yesterday.
To view more of Melissa's work, please visit her blog.
Love this set? Yay! Enter our giveaway by posting a comment on THIS blog post letting our designers know that you appreciate their hard work. We'll pick one winner on Friday morning (September 29).
Have a crafty day!
These cards are so simple and beautiful! I usually tend to overdo mine. 😊

To the DT: I love all of the ideas
and techniques that you introduce us
to every day/every week/every month.
If it wasn't for you, I couldn't
make half the cards I do - I wouldn't
have any ideas.
thanks for all you do.

I've been a long-time A Muse fan and it's so great to see Scoopy back! I've missed her clean and clever designs!! I love all your other designers as well. Wonderful set. Pick me!!!
Posted by: Janice D. | 09/28/2017 at 10:03 PM
I wish I had even 1/10th of the design talent your team has! Thanks for always inspiring me. I save all of your cards to my pinterest boards for the stamp sets that I purchase so that I have a bunch of get-me-started ideas. Works really well.
Posted by: Lisa C. | 09/28/2017 at 10:05 PM
I want to stamp with your design team!! You should put together a holiday card-making event in several cities and let us come stamp and learn. I'd come if there was an east coast event. I know my sister would come too! Thanks for considering this idea. Thanks for always inspiring us to create.
