The wreath pillow is gorgeous! It is simple and so elegant at the same time.
I love the burlap with white stenciling on the gift bags. So simple but so great.

It is so great and so much fun to have great magazines to choose from, to create and enjoy the projects in each one of them.
Thanks for bringing all the talented artists featured in them.
When the holidays and the cooler weather arrive, I love the suggestion on the napkin to “Eat, Drink and Cozy Up” — I can’t wait to see the whole magazine!
This is the link to my Pinterest “save” of the beautiful nativity scene .. I have a few people in mind for that gift and can’t wait to start my project! Hope I’m one of the lucky 3!!!

http://pin.it/DjQawEN I pinned this cool idea to Pinterest, and I shared the same to Facebook but my tech ability failed me. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I am hoping this is the right way to share the Pinterest link – https://www.pinterest.com/pin/435652963937780266/
My favourite was the mug containing the cookie recipe ingredients. I have done the whole cookie in the jar thing before but I love the idea of it being housed inside a mug and with the recipe written on it.
I pinned the glass ornaments to Pinterest. Can’t wait to see the new re-freshed magazine.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/313281717812995895/
I like all the ideas, but the white Christmas burlap bags are my favorite. So versatile for gifts, or as decor.
Pinned the Gingerbread ornaments to Pinterest. Cannot figure out how to get the confirmation. Looking forward to seeing the new magazine.
Fantastic ideas for Christmas and love the muted colour scheme used for these craft ideas.

Great ideas for a DIY Christmas.
The beautiful joyous wreath pillow would be a lovely addition to our Christmas decor.

I think the decorated glass bulbs with little name tags attached would make great table favors for dinner guests to take home.
I really like the wreath. Looks like it would be fun to make and give as a gift.
Love the altered glass ornaments! What a fun and fast way to make ornaments to show your own personal style! Gonna get the girls together and set up buffet style bits and bobs and bling and things!
Love this simple idea with the fragrant rosemary on the striped bag!
OOOOh, this Holiday edition looks wonderful. I love making and giving gifts at the Holidays. Every project here is so cute so I pinned the photo with 4 photos. The cookie cup kit is adorable. I would LOVE to win a copy. I pinned here, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/63331938489695042/
Loved the simplicity of Silent Night. I collect Nativity sets, this one I can make, love this idea.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Loved the cup with the recipe on it. A gift that keeps giving.
Think the new magazine is amazing, love the ideas shown and particularly the wreath as a great project for either a Christmas present or home décor – brilliant!
O’Christmas Tree’deor is so unique in which you can mix & match with different décor with such a great combination of patterns with so many memories to be made . https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?media=https%3A%2F%2Fstampington.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F09%2F1SOM-HOL16_4-Somerset-Holidays-and-Celebrations-2016-Volume-10-600×600.jpg&url=https%3A%2F%2Fstampington.com%2Fblog%2F2016%2F09%2F30%2Fintroducing-a-somerset-holiday-diy-holiday-inspiration-enter-win%2F%23more-16898&%20is_video=false&description=Introducing%20A%20Somerset%20Holiday%20for%20all%20your%20DIY%20Holiday%20Inspiration%20%20%20Enter%20to%20Win!%20%7C%20Somerset%20Place%20The%20Official%20Blog%20of%20Stampington%20%20Company
Love, love love the “Oh Christmas Tree”. I have every holiday issue and refer to them all of the time.
The little bags are fabulous, love the driftwood card, the last one…Christmas tree fabric scraps…brilliant! I drive more than 120 miles, round trip, to purchase the Holiday issue…unless the fabric store happens to have it. Then I only drive 60 plus miles, round trip.
Yes, it is worth it!
Love the chalkboard mug!! What an adorable gift idea :)
I live close to the ocean and always bring some kind of driftwood home. The idea to decorate with driftwood is lovely – that’s certainly my favorite! “Liked” it on Facebook and pinned here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/573857177502399522/
Really love two of the spreads so I shared the cookie mug via Facebook and pinned the Wreath Pillow on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/210121138844497628 on my “Cushy” board just for pillow ideas https://www.pinterest.com/craftyclicker/cushy)
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/11962755240947055/
I pinned almost ALL of these gorgeous ideas/creations. However, there is something about the pillow sitting on that distressed chair that is SOOO fetching! Makes me want to recreate that scene this holiday season!!!!
Wonderful creations and

and posted it on my Facebook page!
Your magazines are the best…
Many thanks, Cindi Hoppes
I love the idea of the cookie in a mug with chalkboard paint for the recipe! How smart looking and a great gift idea! Thank you for always providing great ideas!
I really liked the throw pillow wreath by Renna Rita Serios Dutson on that perfect Vintage chair!
LOVE them all, but the burlap caught my eye.
The chalkboard mug is my favorite !
This would be a great project for me to do with my grandchildren for the upcoming holiday season!

I love the “seasonal seaside decor” – the other ideas as well! I have a collection of driftwood bits from our last trip to the coast and this image has inspired me. I pinned it at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/300615343861627170/

Would love to win ! There are so many wonderful things.. Had a hard time picking….but these little dolls would be precious on a tree or package…
And definitely making the mug for my neighbor!
Love the gingerbread ornaments but then again love the little burlap bags, oh.. and the wreath is pretty cute too! Lol! Can’t decide which project I like best as they are ALL great. The ‘simple look’ is what I am looking to create this Christmas! Thanks for the inspiration. Reading any Stampington issue is like a breathe of fresh air. Great stress relief to curl up on the couch and loose yourself in an awesome magazine! Thank you for the chance to win a copy. Keep up the good work:)
Oh,the joyous wreath pillow is scrumptious! I love giving and receiving handmade gifts-especially at Christmas! Thank you for the giveaway-the magazine looks awesome!

Thanks for this contest.
I really like the green and red Joyous Wreath Pillow. It’s too pretty to put away after Christmas. It would look lovely all year in a room with the same colors.
I just love the wreath pillow. It is gorgeous!
So many wonderful holiday ideas…I wouldn’t know where to begin first.
I really like the burlap gift bags by Rhonda Pingilley, the ideas for the clear glass bulbs and the seasonal seaside decor. I’m sure I’ll find a lot more ideas inside the magazine.
I love the burlap bags!! An easy project that makes a big impact. I’ll share on FB but I’m not sure what to use for a tag…Stampington? somerset place? I’ll try everything I can think of!
What a Great way to Warm up the Holidays..
The cookie kit, and the Somerset Holiday Magazine!

Love the blackboard mugs and cookie kit.

Cookie Cup And the ornaments. So fun and a gift that every one can use
The seasonal seaside decor was my favorite! The beach is my go to place for vacation and I liked the simplicity as well as the recycling of the driftwood. I pinned it at: http://pin.it/T5zls6R
As always, wonderful projects!!!

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/87327680254099433/

I love all your ideas ! My favorite are the glass ornaments ! Love the natural and earthy look of your projects !
Loved the seaside Christmas tree !!! Need to get my hands on some driftwood!
Love the Nativity scene…a different take on the holy scene.
https://www.pinterest.com/letmetellya/maybe-ill-do-this/
My favorites (Oh, it’s so hard to choose!) are the Seaside Decor and the Gingerbread Ornaments. They’re wonderful!
Love the wreath pillow.
I Love ALL the Ideas! Looking forward to spending time in my studio creating some of these beauties!
I love all the natural looking designs. No glitter or sequins needed! Driftwood trees are awesome.
This pillow looks easy and has a great look.
The muslin bag is my favorite. I’d like to make some for Christmas.
I really love the little drawstring bags that you decorated with cinnamon tied on. Very sweet.

Pinned the cookie in a mug
Anything with burlap is so versatile. Your burlap bags gave me a lot of ideas.
Thank you.
Ann
Every one of these are terrific & will make great gifts for my family & friends–something for each gift recipient. You always do such a terrific job with your creative ideas, thank you so very much,
Rosalee B
Seaside Decor won out but there were many creative and fun ideas offered. I pinned it in my Holiday file on Pinterest: http://pin.it/C9-6Rmw
Thank you!
my favorite is the Sugar Cookie in a Mug! I would also make a mason jar filled with cocoa mix so that the recipient could drink a cup while they wait for the cookies to come out of the oven!
If I did it as a family gift, each mug would be decorated to fit a family member’s personality and some would have different cookie recipes and mixes in them and others would have hot cocoa mix and maybe a hot apple cider mix too!
You could even use the burlap bags to put a couple prebaked cookies in for each family member to eat as they wait for theirs to cook!
As they say, variety is the spice of life~ Thanks for the chance to win the Somerset Holiday and the inspiration!
Forgot to leave my pinterest link!

I have always loved stamping on fabric – so that is the visual spread that won out for me! It inspired a few new ideas already and I haven’t even read the whole article yet!

Love these pillows for the Holidays. I want to try and make these with red and white gingham fabric.
