Not Just for the Holidays: Alpine Adventures

Alpine Adventures.Camp1018The Alpine Adventures Bundle was one of the first items from the Holiday Catalog that I had to have.  That, along with the Buffalo Check Background Stamp.  The two of them together….how can you go wrong?

Finishing designing this card was another Woo Hoo! moment.  I was in love with my design.  I usually like my designs a lot but every so often you get to say “I love it when a plan comes together!”.  😀

This card does give off the “holiday” vibe even thought the only thing remotely holiday about it is the red bow.  I guess it’s just the red that says Christmas to most of us.  You can definitely use this stamp set for other occasions though….especially something like a birthday!

Alpine Adventures Birthday.blog.1218My husband’s birthday is right after Christmas and he loves to ski so this next card is perfect for him.

It doesn’t have a wreath or holly on it and it doesn’t say anything about the holidays.  The inside does say “Let it snow” but the outside says “Happy Birthday”.

I would even use the first card as a birthday card, especially for someone who likes winter.

You just need to think outside the box sometimes.  Have you been looking at your Holiday Catalog with a new eye?  Have you discovered any holiday products that don’t have to be used just for the holidays?  I would love to hear what you’ve discovered!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you’ve found!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
