When I received my preorder of Holiday Catalogue goodies a month or 2 ago this was the first card I made. I went searching on Pinterest for some inspiration. This card was almost CASED from shawnstamps.com. I have just discovered his blog. I like his style. Take a minute to pop on over and check out his clever creations.
Anyway, back to the card. I liked the colours he used and the way he used the ‘Sleigh Ride’ Edgelits Dies. I teamed my card with the ‘Jingle All the Way’ set.
I have used Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate. The card base is Smoky Slate. I added some Silver Ribbon on my card and stamped some stars from the ‘jingle All the Way’ set in Bermuda Bay in the sky. The greeting was stamped on some scrap white card. I really should have flagged the end. I had stuck it down by the time I realised. I did try and lift it but……. Best to leave it alone I think. The little embellishment was made with the Festive Flower Punch. I had just received that punch and was playing around with it. It was sitting on my desk so I just grabbed it and made it. Not sure whether it was meant to be a flower or a snowflake. Anyway, it filled the spot. I added a Rhinestone to the centre. It looks OK. What do you think???
You can get the stamp set and the Edgelits Dies as a Bundle and save 15%. Gotta love that! Wood – $59.50 AUS Clear – $51.75 AUS.
Here is the stamp set. It has a quite a few cute little images with 4 greetings.
Have a good week. I am in the middle of a big project. I might share it later.
Until next time.

I made this card a few weeks ago but only had a chance to show you now. When I received my Festive Flower Punch I had to have a play and create a different flower than the traditional one. That’s what you do right??? 🙂 I made a card up with the flower. Since making this flower I have seen some great variations on Pinterest. I have to say I do like those ones a lot so I will have to make those too. Here is my card and I will give you the details of the flower. You might remember the small flower that you could make with the wing of the 2-step bird punch?? Well this is it’s big brother 🙂
I have a chart below to show you how I created the flower so I won’t say too much about that. For each of the pieces I sponged them with ink. I have used Rich Razzleberry for the flowers and Old Olive for the stems. See the pearl accent?? I was trying to work out what to add. I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl but the silver didn’t go right so I created my own. I punched a circle from the Gold Foil Sheets using the smaller circle from the Owl Punch. I adhered a pearl to the centre and added the both with a glue dot onto a small bow from Whisper White Baker’s Twine. I really liked this addition. The greeting is from ‘Birthday Blossoms’ and I punched one corner with the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch.
Here is a chart to create your own flowers.
So this punch is very versatile. Not just for your Poinsettia flowers. I can’t wait to make some other versions.
Here is the punch if you haven’t noticed it. The punch can be found on P 31 of the catalogue and is $31.00 AUS.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a super awesome weekend and you have time to create. I have my Holiday Catalogue Launch tomorrow so I am looking forward to sharing some fun projects using these great products from the Catalogue.

As demonstrators we could order from the Holiday Catalogue weeks ago. When I received my preoder I didn’t know what to play with first. Do I stamp or punch or do I cut??? Such a dilemma. After I had a little play I made up a card using the Home For Christmas product suite. This was one of the first cards I made. I will be honest I am not completely happy with it. Not sure why but maybe you can help me out there. I shared it on my Facebook page a few weeks ago and realised I hadn’t shared it here. So for your viewing pleasure – or not! here is the card. 🙂
I loosely based the layout of the card on Freshly Made Sketches #142
I do love the new Curvy Corner Trio Punch I have used here. I used markers for the greeting and punched it out using the Decorative Label Punch. A little sparkle with the Silver Glimmer Paper and Rhinestones and finished off with some Real Red Pom Pom Trim and Silver Ribbon.
I am showcasing this suite in the ESAD Blog Hop TOMORROW (Sunday) so head back here at 6.30pm AEST. We are all focusing on the great products in the Holiday Catalogue. I do hope you can join us.

It’s September 1st which means ….It’s Spring!!! Well in the Southern Hemisphere it is BUT even more exciting – (can I say that??) – Yes, even more exciting is the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalogue is live TODAY!!!
You are going to absolutely love this. There is so much AWESOMENESS!! Now click HERE to go and view it online. (I will add the link in the sidebar shortly for future reference).
I have been playing with products in this catalogue for a few weeks now. (Just one of the benefits of being a demonstrator!). I have posted a few projects recently and I have more to share with you too. Yesterday I had a quick play and made up this card. This was inspired from some cards on Pinterest.
I have used the new ‘Woodland’Embossing Folder. Now this is towards the back of the catalogue (p39) and can be overlooked especially by us downunder as we don’t celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving and people tend to stop after the Christmas products; BUT keep going there are some awesome products that you will be able to use anytime. The stamp set is ‘Jingle All the Way’ (p12) and I love those sweet wooden Snowflake Elements (p23). I have finished it off with an Adhesive Pearl.
So now I am going to stop talking so you can go looking at the catalogue. If you want to get any of that goodness and don’t have a Demonstrator then let me know. If you would like a Catalogue sent to you then let me know too. I know you can read it online but it is so much nicer to have the real thing. 🙂
Happy Reading 🙂

It’s a Birthday Celebration this weekend. Over at Freshly Made Sketches they are celebrating their 200th Sketch challenge. I don’t often have time to join in on their challenges but I love their sketches and have used them at times when I make a card. I thought being the 200th Challenge I would just have to have a go.
Here is the sketch for you.
Now when I sat down to make the card I had something in mind. I played around with it but wasn’t quite happy with it for the Challenge. I will show you the card later but I thought I would show you the card I have actually entered. Now when I check out the cards on the site there are some pretty awesome cards so, oh well! I will add my card anyway because it is about the fun of it and having a go, isn’t it!!
Here is my card I ended up with. There is not a lot of stamping involved but don’t you love this paper? This is new Christmas paper in the upcoming Holiday Catalogue callled ‘Home For Christmas’. Isn’t it just gorgeous!! The Poinsettia print and those cute little Deers are in the pack. I love those Deers. You will see some more of them coming up.
I have also used a Gold doily behind the deer and some Gold Cord. The greeting is from ‘Lots of Joy’ from the Annual Catalogue.
I think this is a very versatile sketch that I will file away for future reference.
Thanks for stopping by. Make sure you head to the Freshly Made Sketches site to see all the amazing entries and Design Team Creations (link above).
