Winter Hop Designer Picks!

2017 (4)

We’re back with the Designer Picks for the Winter Hop!  We’ve asked the Design Team to pick their favs!  Here we go!

Designer:  Kerry Urbatch

#669 Trina Pham

A1DC099D-A05C-4E41-8DB5-75AAAD602B00

I love the super fun blue rays in the background, the sparkles and sequins and that adorable mousie image are too too cute!

Designer:  Helen Gullett

#201 Hilda Luevano

Capture1

I love her pop up box card with all the festive red cup and snowflakes. She picked beautiful patterned papers to use and I also like how she decorate the snowflakes with some gems and the little jingle bell on the front box.

Designer:  Laurel Seabrook

#83 Verna Angerhofer

Cocoa Cup5 (441x550)

I liked that she tried something new and created a 3D project rather than a card. It is such a cute gift!

Designer:  Kathy Schweinfurth

#753 Sheri Gilson

Sheri Gilson_Winter CLBH_Card #4

I love Sheri’s festive and fun Christmas coffee background! Her card is so eye-catching and beautiful in its simplicity!

Designer:  Dana Warren

#758 Martha Lucia Gomez

I love the sweater like background and the offset scallop frame! A great way to make a non-winter/non-Christmas coffee stamp fit the winter theme!!

Designer:  Lori Turner

#373 Zsofi – safsafdesign

I had so many favorites!! This one really jumped out at me – #373 Zsofi’s CAS yet striking design and the colors just POP!! Gorgeous!

Designer:  Dana Gong

#514 Lori Kobular

Coffee in Lantern

I love Lori’s coffee lantern! It’s so clever idea to create winter coffee card using non-traditional elements. I wish this coffee lantern was real. I would order at least 7 lanterns for my every morning haha.

Designer:  Robyn DeRossett Jordan

#638 Lisa Bzibziak

I love every inch of this card! The bright, beautiful red cardstock, and the sweater embossing folder! The cutest Elf, in his PJ’s and cup of cocoa with variegated yarn cozie ❤ Both sentiments are funny~ it’s bright and cheerful~ totally my pick

Designer:  Becca Cruger

#437 Larissa Heskett

Those earrings are freakin’ adorable and such a clever way to use stamping in a nontraditional way! So cool!

Designer:  Erin Thiem

#637 Carol

Love the clean and simple with the graphic background and the pop of red.

Designer:  Terri Albro

#241 Kay Miller

38204639604_7630e321a5_b

It’s always so hard to pick just one, but I keep going back to #241 by Kay Miller. Not only is the coloring exceptional, but the stamped snowflake background on kraft paper, is the perfect accent to this festive, scenic card.

Designer:  Lisa Bzbziak

#850 Erica A-B

Love the delicious background with the beautiful watercolor and splatters and that snowflake! All of the detail on this one makes me smile.

Whew!  No easy task just picking one favorite out of the Hop Gallery that is packed with awesome projects!  I love the variety of the picks, don’t you?

I used random.org to pick Two Simon Says Stamp $15 Gift Card Winners.  Congrats goes to:

    What a fantastic surprise to see something I did as one of the Designer’s Picks. Now I am glad I did go out of my comfort zone and make that 3D cup. And, it sure came in handy for Christmas gifts this year. Thanks so much for choosing my cup Laurel.
