With only a few days to Christmas, and lots still to do, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas … I hope you all enjoy a relaxing time with friends and family during this holiday season.
Thank you for dropping in to see my posts. It has been exciting to see where each of you live and realise how small the world seems on the internet.
Here is my ‘virtual’ Christmas card for you to share ….
The upcoming Occasions Catalogue also showcases Large Numbers Framelits Dies and Number of Years stamp set bundle ….
I love the large numbers … they are a great size for cardmaking.
I think I will be making this card in lots of different ways … but with the same sentiment …. after all it’s my birthday in two days and I have been 21 for almost 33 years!!
I have been having so much creative fun playing with more of the new products from the upcoming Occasions Catalogue …
This first card highlights the Birthday Bouquet DSP …. I have fussy cut one of the floral bouquets and mounted it onto a background made using the Brushstrokes stamp and with a sentiment from the Cottage Greetings stamp set … I love the versatility of all of the Stampin’ Up! products – ‘very mixy matchy’ as my daughter would say.
I have not used the Birthday Blooms stamp set yet because I somehow managed to order it, and three stamp sets from the Sale-a-bration catalogue, in wood mount. Stampin’ Up! is arranging to exchange these for me – how amazing is that!
This second card features two other designs from the Birthday Bouquet DSP … there are 12 different designs in total.
The sentiment and banner are from another bundle featured in the new Occasions Catalogue … Rose Wonder stamp set and Rose Garden thinlits dies.
The Rose Garden thinlits also include two roses that I have used in the next, more boldly coloured, card.
The sentiments are from the Rose Wonder stamp set … the Wishes greeting actually says Wedding Wishes but a sticky note makes an effective mask.
Now I have to confess that when I first saw one of the amazing new tools in the Occasions Catalogue I was not convinced it would be useful – I have happily used my paper piercer to poke out all the little bits from our detailed thinlits dies ,,, then I watched a clip showing how it worked, ordered one and am SOLD! Wait until you get to see the Big Shot Die Brush in action at my Occasions Catalogue Launch.
Time to get back to my craft room!
