It’s Hidden Gems Day. Sometimes products get lost with the Online Exclusives. Today let’s check out the Jolly Holly Bundle.
The Bundle includes the Jolly Holly Stamp Set and Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder.
The Stamp Set has very versatile sentiments that you can use together or on their own in different fonts. And it has cute simple Christmas images.
I particularly like the Hybrid Embossing Folder though. The Embossing Folder can add a textured background to your Christmas projects. BUT what about the dies to use with it. The large die cuts the Holly leaves out giving a partial Pop-Up effect.
You can see how it partially cuts the leaves in the photo above. The ones below shows the embossed effect. You can colour the Holly leaves or using the Two-Tone cardstock rub over it with a light sanding block.

Back with Sunday Suites today. Let’s look at this lovely, lovely Floral Impressions Suite.
This one is a new one released as an Online Exclusives. You have bright, cheery florals in the paper and great flower stamp images that can layer together to give detail to the flowers. Dies are available to diecut the flowers with additional leaves and oval frames. There are also extra elements to decorate your projects.
This is the Floral Impressions Suite Collection.
This suite includes:
Impressions Abloom Bundle (stamps and dies)
Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder 15.2cm x 15.9cm (6″x 6 1/4″)
Floral Impressions 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper
Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
Foiled Frames and Labels Ephemera Pack
This is the Impressions Abloom Bundle. This is a 2-Step Stamp Set. There are flower dies to diecut the stamped flowers but also there are “centre lines” to diecut within the flowers to create an etched or indented look. If you can describe it like that.
The Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. Look at those bright colours. It is 12″x12″. 2 each of 6 Double sided designs. The colours in this paper are: Crushed Curry, Darling Duckling, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush
The Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder 15.2cm x 15.9cm (6″x 6 1/4″). It’s a large one so keep that in mind.
The Foiled Frames and Labels Ephemera Pack. This is a nice addition to a suite. They gold border edges to the frames. These give a touch of elegance to your projects. There are 6 sheets in total: 2 each of 3 designs. The Sheet size measures 12.7cm x 17.8cm 5″ x 7″. So that gives you some ideas of the size. Check the samples below to see how to use.
So now you really want to see how these all look on a project. Check these out created by Stampin’ Up! Artists.
You can see the detail with the Embossing Folder on this one below. Also I love the etching you get within the flowers created when cutting with the dies.
You can see how the frame and the embossing folder comes out on the card below.
What do you think of this suite? Yes there have been flower suites but I think the bright colours in the paper and being a 2 Step floral images is very pretty. I love the “etched” lines you can create within the flowers too.

Another play with the Stampin’ Up! Charming Day set. This time I went simple. No colouring just stamp and add it to a card.
To dress it up a little I added some texture by Embossing the Peach Pie card mat with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. And adding some of the gorgeous Floral Charm Designer Series Paper.
Don’t feel you have to colour every image you have. Sometimes just some simple stamping is good.
This is the Charming Day Bundle.
And more of that beautiful Floral Charm Paper.

I have been playing with the new Charming Day Bundle this week. It has some sweet flowers but the paper in the Suite is so, so gorgeous. I feel like I repeat myself a lot.
This is one of the cards I created with it.
The pretty paper is the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. The colours and patterns are so gorgeous. The Sentiment is the ‘With You In Mind’ Stamp Set and cut with the Textured Notes Dies.
It is hard to see but I stamped the Blackberry Bliss Base Card with the leaf stamp several times over the front.
This is the Charming Day Bundle. You can see it more -> HERE.
And now for the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. See it more -> HERE.
There are a lot more to this Suite which will be for another day. If you love these products and them in your life I would love to help you out.

Another one with the Stampin’ Up! Rustive Centerpiece Stamp Set. I have been playing with this over the last few days. Lots of creative fun with it.
This time I created a Watercolour Wash over some Watercolour Card.
To create it I washed over some Watercolour Card with the Soft Sea Foam. I added a few drops of the Reinker in to the lid of the Ink Pad and added some water to it and swirled it around to mix it. With the Water Painter I washed over the card. Then I left it to dry before stamping on it.
When I came back to it the piece nearly went in to the bin. When it was drying I didn’t like the colours that were coming out. I picked it up to throw it and thought maybe I will just try stamping on it and see how it turns out. (To see if it works ok 😄). It was my little experiment. I actually thought it turned out passable in the end.
The succulents are stamped in Garden Green. I think the Black sentiment helps it all to POP. That was heat embossed in White on the Black card. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Stamp Set. The paper is from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.
So the card lived to fight another day. Just a word of encouragement. If you don’t like how something is turning out, persevere with it. Put it aside, walk away, come back and work on it. You never know. It might just become a hero.
This is the Rustic Centerpiece Stamp Set if you missed it. It was released yesterday as an Online Exclusives.
You can find the stamp set -> HERE along with other Online Exclusives.

I have been playing with something new – and for me different. The Rustic Centerpiece set. (Being in Australia I have to correct myself when spelling that as this is the US spelling!).
This is the first card I made with it.
I coloured the succulents with Watercolor Pencils. The Paper strip is from the Florals in Bloom Paper. It’s hard to see but I embossed the Garden Green card with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
It’s very cloudy and rainy today so not the best lighting for a photo. I will try a better one another day but just wanted to show you this.
The Rustic Centerpiece set is a cute stamp set featuring woodsy florals and wood slice images. Each one is adorned with a different display. These succulents, a Sunflower and leafy arrangement and a Christmas setting of the deer and tree.
You can see the stamp set here.
I have made some more cards with this so I will share them all with you soon.
There are lots of other new products released today as Online Exclusives. You can see them all -> HERE.

Our class last week was using the Thankful Garden Bundle. There are lots of ways to use this gorgeous bundle.
This was one of the cards we made. We coloured the flower with the Stampin’ Blends as in the class it is hard to use the masks with a group to share them around. But it shows that you can use these in many different ways.
The paper strips are with the Mixed Media Floral Paper that is an Online Exclusives. They just make a different element to the card mat and highlights the colours used.
This is the Thankful Garden Bundle. You can see it more -> HERE.

I came across the Faux Watercolour Technique recently. I was intrigued and had to try it. I thought you might like it too so I put together a video. You can follow along and give it a try.
As you watch you might see it is a bit like the Smooshing Technique. But there are some differences.
Here is the video.
Here is the card I created.
The Thankful Garden Bundle includes Stamps, Dies and Masks and is an Online Exclusives.
If you have missed it you can see it online -> HERE.
I have also used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder which adds a nice, curvy texture. Also, using the Arched Dies for the sentiment adds a different element.
Hope you like it and get to try the technique yourself.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny
