Getting in to the Christmas creating – well trying to anyway …
This one is with the Santa’s Hat Stamp Set. It’s a nice easy stamp set to use being a 2-step set. You don’t need to colour the hat. There is the solid inside image you can use. Of course if you love colouring don’t let that stop by. You can colour the hat yourself.
For this one I used the Everyday Arches Dies and had them running in a landscape way. The larger arch was diecut from the Timeless Christmas paper and the white card is embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (now retired).
So get a little Ho, Ho, Ho on this year with some easy cards. I like this fun set. Easy to stamp away. You do need to fussy cut the hat yourself if you want to raise it. It is very simple to cut out and raising it up adds extra dimension to your cards. Which is good.
This is the Santa’s Hat Stamp set.You can see it more -> HERE.
If you would like to order this set – or any other products – for your Christmas creating you can head to that link just above. (Australian residents only).

These dies would be so versatile for all kinds of projects. Cardmaking, Memory Keeping, Decor. And for so many occasions. Birthdays for any age, Baby, Christmas. Good timing with Christmas coming up.
What would you use them for?
The Product of the Month is available for $9AUD when your order reaches $125AUD. Check your market for your own values.
Just a reminder – these are While Supplies Last. And I think they will go quickly so don’t delay too long.
If you are in Australia and need to order you can head to my store -> HERE OR Contact me directly.
NOTE: While many of the these stamps have dies to go with them purchasing the stamps during the sale and then the Dies separately will work out cheaper then purchasing them as a bundle.

Happy Reading today. It’s always exciting when a new catalogue comes your way.
Sweet Sunday with this bunch of happy characters. This is with the Birthday Song Stamp Set.
This card was created by Stampin’ Up! artists but I just had to show you.
I like how all the elements went together. I couldn’t work out the “sea” though. Then I found it is paper from the Waterside Retreat Paper Pack. Clever… The background sky is from that pack too. It’s good to look at your paper in different ways. It really forms a big part of the scene on this one.
The characters are colours so well though too. These ones have been lightly watercoloured with the Ink Pads and Water Brush.
How sweet. Have you noticed this Birthday Song set?
Time for some Hidden Gems. Sometimes these products get a little lost on the store front but it’s good to let them shine.
Speaking of shine – What about these Gilded Wings Accents? They are certainly shiny and Gold.
These Gilded Wings Accents are a 12″x12″ sheet full of Gold Foil Butterflies. They vary in size and style. So many to add to your projects! You can easily add them with any adhesive.
If you want the Gold shine to your projects but don’t have the Hot Foil Machine these are a great alternative.
Here are some projects created by Stampin’ Up! Artists to show you how they look. Doesn’t it add such elegance to your projects.
The added bonus with these Accents is that they are now on the Last Chance List. Which also means they are reduced from $17.50 to $15.75 (AUD – so check your market).
When these sell out they are gone for good so don’t let them flutter away.
If you are in Australia you can catch them -> HERE. Don’t miss the other Last Chance items either.
The Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper is this month’s Product of the Month. I have been creating with it for a few weeks now as part of the Demonstrator Council.
The paper has lovely fall/Autumn patterns. We don’t create that much for those type of occasions in Australia. It works well for other occasions though as I discovered when I started playing with it.
This is the paper.
I thought this print worked well with the cow from the Wild Bunch set. And maybe I had one already coloured – and it worked!!
You could replace the idea with something else you have.
The Glow of Harvest paper has a really nice sheen to it. Just a subtle sparkle.
You can select this paper when you place your qualifying order. In Australia if your order is over $125, Select this paper and you only pay an additional $9.
If you need to order you can head to my store -> HERE Or contact me directly and I can help you out.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

It’s been a while since we have done Sunday Suites. So let’s have a little Christmas in July with the ‘A Stitched Season’ Suite.
If you like the look of quilting without all the stitching yourself or you are a quilter yourself you will like this suite. Fun shapes and Festive patterns with stockings, holly and trees.
Here is all that is included in the Suite Collection.
The A Stitched Season Suite includes:
Stitched Stocking Bundle
A Stitched Season 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper
Real Red Stitched Ribbon (6.4mm, 1/4″) 9.1m, 10 yards
Adhesive Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (45) 1cm x 1cm, 3/8″ x3/8″
Let’s look at them a bit more closely.
The Stitched Stocking Bundle
This is not just for your Christmas cards but it can create some cute Christmas Stockings and other projects to dress up your Christmas.
Pair classic Christmas sentiments with quilting-inspired designs like holly and pine trees for a warm, nostalgic look. I love how you can make those stockings and dress them up how you like with a patchwork look and add some buttons and ribbon. Make them personalised too by adding some initials or names on them even??
The largest Die in this Bundle measures 8.4cm x 12.1cm, 3-5/16″ x 4-3/4″ which would be the larger stocking.
A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper
Prints for your Christmas projects to with quilt-inspired patterns. And you don’t have to spend all that time sewing them! This paper is a perfect choice for creating seasonal projects that feel warm and nostalgic.
You can dress up the diecut stockings with the patterns or any other Christmas style project. But some of these patterns would work for any occasion not just Christmas.
The colours in this paper are: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, Real Red, Secret Sea.
Now let’s see some projects that Stampin’ Up! artists have put together with them to really show off this Suite.
Are you a quilter? You would love that you can get the look of quilted projects in paper.
If you are a Cardmaker and not dabble in the sewn quilted world you will love to be able to create these type of projects with little fuss and so much less time.
Add metallic Shimmer using the Hot Foil Machine, Foils and specialist dies.
I have often seen the look but never ventured down that path. You can watch how it works here.
You can see how it all works on the Youtube video -> HERE.
