Countdown to the Holiday Catalog

Only ONE more day until all the holiday catalog  items are available to everyone! Stampin' Up! knocked it out of the park with this holiday catalog. There are so many fabulous bundles enabling you to save 15% with each bundle.

I want to share with you a couple of things I created when playing with my new holiday catalog products. 

Snowflake ornament

How adorable is that ornament? This was demonstrated by Pam Morgan of Stamping' Up! at convention this year. I loved it so much I could not wait to try it out myself. I used the Snow Flurry Bundle to create this ornament along with the Flower Medallion Punch from the annual catalog.

Then I created this great Poinsettia using Rose Red card stock and ink. Don't you love the new metal rimmed pearls? I think it makes the perfect center.

Festive Flower

This flower was created using the Reason for the Season Bundle.

There are so many amazing stamp sets, papers and accessories to explore, these are just a couple of my favorites. Don't forget the adorable Pillow Box. Click here to see my post using the Pillow Box framelit set.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow. You will be able to download the catalog, check out the new weekly deals and order away from the new catty.

Wildflower Adventure

Wow it feels like forever since I posted. I have missed you. Today I want to share a card I made for a colleague leaving our organization for a new professional direction. While I am always saddened when someone leaves I also want what is best for them. Life is a tapestry of experiences and connections with others, that is what makes it so wonderful.

Wild adventure

 

A clean and simple card. The colors are Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment as well as the wildflowers are part of the Wild About Flowers Photopolymer stamp set. This is a two-step set where you can stamp the stems and then the flower heads. I Love to have that ability and photopolymer makes it even easier to do.

Here is the inside of the card…

Wild Adventure inside

These flowers remind me of a field of flowers while we were in Alaska. These "flowers" are the ghosts of last years flowers. I think they are beautiful and amazing.

Vintage Leaves

Gleeson PPA264

Oh, I so love Fall.  This is the time of year that I get so homesick for Chicago. While it remains very warm and muggy here in Southwest Florida I can use my stamps and ink to dream of cooler temperatures and days when I would kick through the leaves.

This week we have a fun sketch over at the Pals Paper Arts Challenge:

PPA262kwb

 

I chose to interpret this sketch rather than follow it straight up. The leaves were stamped in Versamark and then heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. I was inspired by my friend and fellow pal Deb Simonis to use the gold embossing powder. I love the result. 

Gleeson PPA264 flat

I did not add a sentiment to the card front as I thought it could become whatever I need it for on the fly in the future. A small banner across one of the top corners will do the trick.

Inside PPA264

I did embellish the inside of the card. The sentiment is from Lighthearted Leaves stamp set available on September 1st from the Holiday Catalog. The leaves in this set also coordinate with the Leaflets Framelits Dies used here with the Vintage Leaves stamp set. I LOVE when more than one stamp set goes with a set of dies or punches!

I hope you will play with the Pals this week. Check out what the other talented design team members have created here.
