Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

I just can't stop making Christmas Cards with the new products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  I can't remember a year when I've loved so many of the Holiday catalog papers, stamp sets and dies!   My intentions again today was to use one of the beautiful fall sets, but I just can't seem to get past the holiday papers in the All is Bright Designer Series Paper pack.  As soon as I saw the colors in today's papers, I reached for the new Blizzard Thinlits Die to add some Real Red Snowflakes to this photo-realistic paper.     

Demonstrators can pre-order from the catalog now--one of the benefits of being a Demonstrator -- and customers can begin ordering from the Stampin' Up! Holiday September 5.  Some of my customers have already received their Holiday catalog in the mail yesterday.  Most of you will have your catalog by this week end. If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like to receive a Holiday catalog, please contact me.
    

     

In addition to the All is Bright Designer Series Paper and Blizzard Thinlit die, this card highlights the new new Real Red 3/8" Mixed Satin Ribbon.  This is a twist on standard grosgrain ribbon.  One half of the ribbon is embossed to look like grosgrain, the other half is smooth.  And is is so nice to work with!

Directions for today's card:

  • Mossy Meadow basecard  
  • Next layer is All Is Bright Designer Series Paper with a mat of Pear Pizzazz on the right side of the card  
  • The left side of the card includes die cuts from the Stained Glass Thinlits cut from Gold Foil Sheets backed with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets  
  • The corners and centers of the Gold Foil Die Cuts were accented with Gold Metallic Pearls  
  • The Real Red snowflakes were die cut using the Blizzard Thinlit die.  The Real Red cardstock was first backed with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  Some of the snowflakes were layered to give them more volume.  Centers were accented with Gold Metallic Pearls  
   




  • The sentiment is stamped in Old Olive on a tag of Pear Pizzazz, and it is popped up on Dimensionals
  • The new Real Red 3/8" Mixed Satin Ribbon was tied in a bow and attached with mini glue dots


The Blizzard Thinlits Die is part of a bundle, which includes a stamp set called Beautiful Blizzard and the Blizzard Thinlits Die.  The die and stamp set can be purchased as a bundle at a 10% saving. The snowflakes from this die can be used individually, as I've done on this card.  The remaining image is beautiful as a card front with a color behind it. You'll want to add theses Stampin' Up! bundles and new Holiday products to your wish list today!

Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek


I didn't mean to make another Christmas Card today.  I had planned to create a card using one of the new fall stamp sets or a card using one of the Halloween papers.  But, as usual, my work space was cluttered with open paper packs and left over die cuts.  I casually glanced through the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper as I started to put it away, and was stopped dead in my tracks when I can across today's paper.   What a stunning paper! 

The late afternoon sunshine streaming in my craft room window shimmered off the foils in this new paper set and I found myself drawn to today's Merry Merlot print.  So I quickly create this card.
    

     

This is another Sneak Peek at a set from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  While Stampin' Up! demonstrators could begin ordering August 1 from this new catalog, Customers can begin ordering on September 5.  Customers who have ordered from me in the past 6 months will receive a copy of the new Stampin' Up!
