I love to share Stampin’ Up!’s products with my blog readers, team members and customers. Today, I’m happy to share a super-fun Blog Candy Giveaway today with one lucky blog reader. Yay!
Blog Candy Giveaway
Last weekend, we celebrated World Card Making Day. To ensure I was ready for the day, I stocked up on some great All-Inclusive Card Kits. I may have over-extended myself, though, because I only got through the Simply Citrus All-Inclusive Card Kit (you can see my projects here). When it was all done, I had a couple of leftover kits. Rather than tuck those away to save for a rainy day, I thought I would share them with you!
Here’s what’s included in this blog candy giveaway:
- Looking Up All-Inclusive Card Kit
- Soft Sayings All-Inclusive Card Kit
- I’m sure I’ll throw in a couple of other surprises
Here’s a look at the Looking Up Card Kit and the cards you can make if you follow the instructions:

Well, since I’m a witch, of course it’s Halloween (or as we call it, Samhain! Happy Hauntings!
It is really hard to choose a favorite because I love them all. Thanksgiving is one of my favorites because it is family time with no rushing here or there to different homes and who doesn’t LOVE to eat!
I love decorating for Christmas and making goodies to share with family, friends, and neighbors. Thanks, Brian, for your generous blog candy giveaway. Enjoy your day!
Thanksgiving! Food, Family and Friends, Football, a long weekend, no gift buying frenzy required!
Thanksgiving. There’s nothing better any time, than gathering around a table with the people you love and who love you — and maybe more than ever this year.
I am conflicted, as I look forward to Halloween because it is my birthday, but Christmas is the biggest holiday I look forward to share good times with family and friends.
Good Morning Brian, I always look forward to Thanksgiving. Great food & family get togethers! Then Black Friday, putting up the Christmas tree & Christmas music! Have a wonderful day & thanks for the opportunity.
This is a hard one, I love the joy and love of Christmas, but I also love the Family, and Last but not least I love the fun I have with all the kids trick or treating and the candy.
sorry that was suppose to say I love the Family getting together for Thanksgiving and all the wonderful food
I love Thanksgiving! Preparing the meal and enjoying it (and the leftovers!!) with family and friends!! And then beginning the Christmas season with decorations, cards, and Hallmark Christmas movies!
Ths is a tough one to answer. I love the Joy and Love of Christmas, but I love the Family and all the wonderful food of Thanksgiving, and last but not least I really enjoy the Trick Or Treating with the Kids and seeing all their costumes.
I’m looking forward to Christmas! My grandkids will be here. They bring the magic and excitement of the holiday into our lives since we’ve been secluded at home.
I am looking forward to Christmas. With all that has gone on and the husband has had several scary eye surgeries this year, all I can think about is Christmas through the eyes of my 6 and 3 year old grandchildren. They make it so fun!
I am looking forward to Halloween because I am not required to do anything! lol! Not sure what Thanksgiving and Christmas will look like this year…
Christmas! Although Christmas will look much different this year!, I always look forward to it! It is such a festive and joyful time!
Brian, As a kid and when my kids were little it was Christmas. But I’m quite aged now. For me it would be Thanksgiving because it is the quieter of the 3 you gave us to chose from. We can sit together and talk. Tell memories of our past and look to the future. Oh, and the food too of course.
Christmas is the most exciting for our family and me! Any time we’re together with our traditions is great! Thank you!
Looking forward to Thanksgiving
Christmas! My favorite holiday isChristmas. I love to decorate and making Christmas cards.
Christmas has always been my favorite time Brian. I love buying gifts for family members and I love watching them open the gifts and smile or be totally surprised. Sometimes I sneak in something that makes them ask “Mom – what is this and why did you buy it for me?”. That’s the most fun of all. Unfortunately this will be very different. We will share Christmas through my GrandPad for multiple reasons. Yet, because I am a Christian it will still be my most sacred of holidays.
I love Halloween. It is the best time to use your imagine to create things that you normally don’t see – like scary haunted houses and eye-catching samplers and spooky treat holders. This year’s Hallows Night Magic set was the best ever.
Thanksgiving has probably been my favorite for a number of reasons…it’s got most of the components of Christmas; a long weekend to spend with family and friends, the favorite traditional recipes for the Thanksgiving meal, high spirited conversations, playing a favorite game after the kitchen has been cleaned up, creating a game plan on how to divide and conquer the Christmas shopping list for Black Friday shopping. All a fabulous way to ease in the month long preparations of Christmas!
I look forward to Christmas. The beauty and meaning of the season are incomparable. It’s also a chance to make beautiful cards.
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. While we should have a grateful attitude each day, Thanksgiving is a perfect occasion to step away from the chaos of this year and reflect upon our many blessings. Thank you, Brian, for blessing me with your daily inspirations!
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving and this year that is especially true. After the horrendous year we have had, we really need to take some extra time to be thankful for all the blessings we have in spite of the extra challenges we have faced. There is so much hype over Christmas that taking the time for thanks-giving is often lost in the shuffle of activity. I enjoy the opportunity to spend a little extra time and effort in being thankful for the availability of health care and other amenities that many in the world do not have such easy access to, so I am looking forward to Thanksgiving more than ever.
This year my favorite holiday is Halloween because it will be the first time all four of our grandchildren will be together to celebrate. I have been busy sewing costumes (they decided to be the gang from the Scooby-Doo cartoons) and even if they cannot trick-or-treat, we have plans for a big party.
Christmas! I am hoping things will be more like normal by then & we can gather with family & friends.
Looking forward to Christmas because I get to see my family!!!!
Thanksgiving because it is just one day, one big meal and its all over…oh and the dressing. My favorite. Last year I had a little left and froze in a 6 inch pan. A few months later I added some left over chicken to my little crock pot, put that dressing on top and covered with a jar of store bought gravy and I was right back to Thanksgiving all over again. Thanks for offering blog candy to some lucky person.
Christmas- The season of hope and peace throughout the lands. I am hopeful that by then I might be able to hug my kids and spend time with them and their husbands. I am hopeful that we can live as one and lay down our differences and be consumed with how we are a like instead. I guess I believe in the magic of Christmas.
I love Christmas because this is the celebration of the birth of Christ. My second reason is I hope to be able to travel to NYC to see my one and only grandchild. 🙂 She was born on Dec. 24th 2019.
Christmas Eve because my family and extended family gather at my house for a fun evening of games, laughs, food and opening of gifts (everyone has to eat a fried oyster before opening their gift).
I really like Thanksgiving. It is a time for family to gather and to reflect on all the blessing we have been given. Of course this year it will be a Zoom celebration with our children and spouses. In one way it will be more inclusive since our children are scattered across the US and we haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving in person with them all for many years. Blessings all.
I love Thanksgiving because family and friends gather at my brother’s house, and we talk and eat all day. He invites everybody, especially those who don’t have a place to go.
Love abounds, good times roll, and it is the best of times!
Brian, you are the best! I look forward to your Blog every day. I am looking forward to Christmas (as usual) and hoping that, by then, the family will be all together. Stay well!
I am looking forward to Christmas. I will be traveling to Savannah to spend it with my daughter
DefinitlyThanksgiving! The smells, the colors, the beginning of the SEASON! Family, friends, kind words and gestures. This year it will be even more poinenent with all of us being “together, apart”. Our thoughts and prayers will especially extend to those who have lost someone or are in crisis now. The elderly and health compromised who are vulnerable and the ones who have no family. THIS Thanksgiving will indeed have many reasons to be grateful and thankful. God Bless us all!!!
That is hard to answer because both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are celebrated with family which makes them both so special. I am one of 11 children and, as you can imagine, holidays were big events at our home–filled with a lot of fun, food and laughter. Getting together with at least some of my siblings on these two holidays always makes them so very special. I can’t imagine holidays without them.
I love Thankgiving! The colors, the patterns, the shapes… and the food!
Thanksgiving is my favorite! I love that my sister-by-choice and I can get together with our families!!
I must break the rules to submit the winning answer… Festivus!
I love them all because I get to spend time with friends and family! Halloween looks a little different this year because of covid! Love fall colors and decorating for the seasons!
Love, love, love Thanksgiving! The onetime a year I can count on all my five kids, their spouses, my 14 grands and their spouses and 6 greats will be together! Truly a blessed time for me.
I am most looking forward to Christmas as it’s the only time during the year when both of my sons come to visit.
Normally I would say Christmas as it is one of the most happiest times of the year – especially now that we have grandchildren. But this year it is Thanksgiving and all that we have to be thankful for – our health, family, and nation.
Without question I am more looking forward to Christmas. There is a lot of hype around Christmas but for good reason. All the festivities, lights, and time spent with family and friends makes this an easy favorite time of the year.
Oh shoot! Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorites.
Thanksgiving because I can make and send cards thanking the people in my life that I’m grateful to have and because they help me through life.
Christmas because I can celebrate the season and make gifts and cards to send to loved ones both friends and family.
Thanks, Brian. I love to follow your posts.
I am most looking forward to Christmas because I am hoping and praying by then, we can be with our children and grandchildren again and spend some wonderful moments and make new memories, with them.
I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. We always have Thanksgiving at my house and I love having family and friends over. This year, with COVID, I am hoping my daughter will be able to attend. She is in the Army (Infectious Disease Dr) and the military is restricting travel due to COVID cases. I have my fingers crossed that the cases will come down to a respectable number so she can travel from DC to NC and join all of us.
Christmas! I am planning to travel to visit my parents. And I truly enjoy the season: music, card sending, time with family, special foods.
This year, I am most looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving because I will be getting together with family. Since I haven’t been able to see my family much this year, it will be great to spend time with them.
