2018 Holiday Catalog is Here!!!

‘Tis The Season!  The 2018 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog has arrived!!

The holiday season will soon be upon us and what better way to kick off the holidays than with the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog that runs from September 5, 2018 through January 2, 2019. So get out your wish list and jot down the awesome products you’ll need to create your own holiday cheer!

There are seven suites in the holiday catalog, some of the nicest I’ve seen.  All Is Bright contains beautiful photographic images that can be both elegant and playful.  Festival Farmhouse includes farmhouse imagery and distressed accents that will make your projects cozy and homey.  Santa’s Workshop will help you craft the perfect Christmas – just like Santa.  The Joyous Noel suite will allow you to deck your halls with elegant touches of copper. Frosted Floral has soft and dreamy florals with a frosted look you can use all year long.  Country Lane will help you create the feel of country comfort wherever you live.  And finally,  Toil & Trouble will bewitch you and your loved ones with cute projects for Halloween.

The new catalog also includes a Punch Box called Christmas Traditions. Like the Darling Label Punch Box, it includes a 6-piece photopolymer stamp set, a clear stamp block, Call Me Clover and Real Red Classic Stampin’ Spots, and the Christmas Traditions Punch that all fit in a beautiful 8” x 8” tin. This would make a great gift for a crafty friend or family member.

There are other nice surprises in the catalog that you just won’t want to miss. I hope when You get your copy, you’ll be inspired to create something beautiful this holiday season!

Let me know if you need a copy!

A Good Day – For Someone Sweet

This is another card from my monthly library class.  I love challenging myself to find super cute cards that are quick and easy to make.  My biggest challenge is making cards WITHOUT using my Big Shot!

I love dies and embossing folders, but as much as I LOVE my Big Shot, I really hate to lug that thing around!  So, I try to design cards that use punches, because they are easy for beginners to use, and easy for me to carry.

I really like the A Good Day stamp set for quick and easy cards.  It has cute stamps for different occasions and coordinates with our scallop circle punches.

Stamps:  A Good Day

Cardstock:  Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Melon Mambo

Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Memento Tuxedo Black
