Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

Today I'm using another new item from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog; the Christmas Traditions Punch Box.  I love these punch boxes.  The boxes include a 6 piece stamp set that coordinates with the punch plus two mini ink spots--Call Me Clover and Real Red-- and a clear block.  Start with this punch kit and just add paper.  It's a great kit if you have limited supplies, but want to create Christmas Tags and Cards.  The tin itself includes a traditional holiday scene and its perfect for presenting a gift of home made cookies or candies, or fill it with an assortment of hand made cards as a special Christmas Gift.

I decide to make a small treat box to go with this Holiday card I created in an earlier post.  
    

     

This card was inspired by the Stampin' Up! All is Bright Designer Series Paper that I used on another sneak peek card I showed last week.  

The treat box I made today, is two pieces that are assembled using Tear & Tape.   I've included more photos in an earlier post where I made this box using a punch box from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. 

Cutting dimensions:  
Long piece:  8-1/2" X 3-1/4".  
Shorter piece:  4-7/8" X 4-7/8"

Scoring:  
Long 8-1/2" piece:  On long side score at 1/2", 3-1/2", 4-1/2", 7-1/2", using the Simple Scored Scoring Tool

Shorter piece:  Score at 15/16" on all four sides, using the scoring blade on your trimmers

Pinch in the corners of the box and use Tear & Tape to hold the corners to the box.
  
Use Tear & Tap on the bottom and front and back sides to hold the box created from the 4-7/8"n x 4-7/8" to the wrap-around piece.
    
To hold the box closed, punch a 1/2" circle and attach it to the font of the box with the one of the new silver brads from the Metallic Brads collection.  Use a Paper Piercer to create a hole through the 1/2" circle and the front of the box through the box layers to insert the silver brad.  

The top of the box is decorated with All is bright Designer Series Paper, a Gold Foil die cut from the Stained Glass Thinlits, and a snowflake created with the Blizzard Thinlits Dies.  Then I used the Stitched Shapes Thinlit to punch a square out of Pear Pizzazz, and stamped one of the images from the Christmas Traditions Punch Box onto Whisper White and punched it out using the Punch in the Tin.   
   




  • Then I used the Stitched Shapes thinlit to punch a square out of Pear Pizzazz to layer under the stamped image.  
  • I stamped one of the images from the Christmas Traditions Punch Box in Old Olive onto Whisper White, and punched it out with the stamp from the Christmas Traditions Punch Box. 
  • Then I added Gold Metallic pearls to the corners of the Gold Foil die cut and the center of the snowflake


  • If your Wish List has grown past the $99 mark, think about signing up as a demonstrator this month or before you place your new catalog order on September 5.  On September 5, you can select $125 in Holiday catalog merchandise for $99 and then place another order at your demonstrator discount for the rest of your holiday catalog wish list.  You can do it all online or contact me and we'll work through your Starter Kit order together.

Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

I came across one of my Christmas Cards from last year and decided to CASE myself and redo the card with new stamp sets and papers from this year's Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  One more sneak peek at the wonderful papers and stamp sets coming your way from the Holiday Catalog customers can order from beginning September 5.

I know, I know.  Most of you have already received your new Holiday Catalog from me, and your Wish List has grown over the past couple of days as you've looked through it and then looked through it again.  Well, watch my web site as I highlight more and more items from the new catalog, to help you pass the time until customers can order.  Or if you just can't wait and your Wish list has already grown past the $99 mark, sign up as a demonstrator this month and you'll be able to order from the new catalog immediately -- as part of your Starter Kit! You can do it all on line or contact me and we'll work through your Starter Kit order worth $125 for your only $99.  Then, place your additional orders at a demonstrator discount.
    

     

This card was inspired by the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper I've highlighted on a card earlier this week.  The berries and fir boughs are printed on this paper.  I simply added a couple of the deer from the Dashing Deer stamp set and a bow.  Then I used the Large Letter Framelit dies and cut out the word "NOEL", and popped them up on Foam Adhesive Strips creating an eclipse.

Directions for today's card:

  • Thick Whisper White basecard  
  • Next layer is Merry Merlot  
  • Then the image layer is Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper, stamped with the a image from the Dashing Deer.  
  • The deer were stamped in Merry Merlot ink directly onto the DSP  
  • The layer of Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper was then die cut using the Large Letter Framelit Dies spell out the word NOEL  
  • The letters are then popped up on Foam Adhesive Strips  
   





  • The bow was tied in a bow and then wrapped around the corner of the Merry Merlot and DSP before adhering the two top layers to the Thick Whisper White basecard.
  • The bow is created out of the 3/8" Berry Burst Mini Ruffled Ribbon



Recipe:

Stamp: Dashing Deer
Ink:  Merry Merlot 
Paper:  Thick Whisper White, Merry Merlot, Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper 
Accessories:  Large Letter Framelit Dies, 3/8" Berry Burst Mini Ruffled Ribbon, Big Shot, Big Shot Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stampin' Trimmer, Foam Adhesive Strips, Multipurpose Glue
