Flurry of Wishes stamp set and Snow Flurry Punch Bundle

Another bundle!  Stampin'Up! sure knows how to make me happy!  I love bundles and saving money!  You can purchase this set and punch separately but why would you?  This set also comes with 3 sentiments and is in Photopolymer only.   Snowflakes can be used throughout the winter, not just at Christmas.  Just pair it with a neutral greeting.  This bundle is on page 25 of the Holiday catty, #140868, $33.  Just go to my online store and order here! The Soft Sky snowflakes are hard to see in the picture but they are there.  My cardbase is Soft Sky with layers of Lost Lagoon (5.5 x 2.75) and Whisper White (5.5 x 2.5).  I ran the card base through the Big Shot with the new Softly Falling embossing folder, page 24 of the Holiday catty, #139672, $8.50. Then I finished it off with Basic Rhinestones.  Enjoy!

Reason for the Season stamp set, Festive Flower Builder Punch

This stamp set and punch can be purchased as a bundle, saving you 15%.  It is on page 31 of the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog.  I first punched out of scrap paper, then placed my photopolymer stamps inside the negative punched area with the flat side up.  After getting it all aligned, then I placed a clear block on top.  Now I can just stamp once and punch!  This is a great perk with photopolymer stamps and punches.  I also did this with the Acorny Thank You stamp set and coordinating punch.  The background technique is inspired by Rachel Tessman, who got the idea from a Cheryl Lee.  You need to use the diagonal plate on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, page 164 of the annual catalog.  My layer is 4 x 5.25.  This was placed on the diagonal plate and scored every inch.  Turn 90 degrees, and score again, every 1 inch.  Then just sponge on both sides of every fold.  So fold along the score lines, sponge, and sponge again so you get both sides of each fold.  Here my layer is Mint Macaron and I sponged with the same color.  My flower is Real Red, stamped with Real Red Ink. My sentiment which is included in this stamp set, is die cut with the Tags & Labels Framelits, page 173.  I used a mini brad to hold my flower together but you can use glue.  I did punch a 1 3/8" circle for my base and started my biggest flowers on that.  I did use snail until I got to the top petals. I finished it off with the Dazzling Details glitter adhesive on each sponged "intersection".

Acorny Thank You stamp set, Acorn Builder Punch

Another bundle!  I love bundles and I love saving money!  Bundle these two products and save 15%!  My card base is Very Vanilla, with a layer of Very Vanilla.  The side piece is the Corrugated Paper from page 148 of the annual catalog, #138317, $7 for 4 12x12 sheets:  2 white and 2 Kraft.  My acorns are stamped with Chocolate Chip or Soft Suede ink, and the tops are on dimensionals  The sentiment is included in this stamp set!  I used threads from the Burlap Ribbon on the left side.

Howl-o-ween Treat Stamp set, Boo to You Framelits

Using new product from the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog and boy, am I having fun playing! Here I made a tag for my licorice candy favor!  I used a 2" wide strip of Very Vanilla and made a tag using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.  Then added half of our Spider Web Doilies, #139605, 24 for $4.50.  What a deal!  And the back is white, so you can use as snowflakes if you wish!  The hat and the boo were die cut using the Boo to You framelits.  The witch's hat is stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink.  The framelits and stamp set can be purchased as a bundle, saving you 15%  Who doesn't like a deal? It is finished off with the Into the Woods 3/8" Cotton Rich Razzleberry ribbon, page 43 of the Holiday catty.  The tag is tied to the 1" x 8" cello bag (#124134 $2.50 for 50!) with a thread from the burlap ribbon.

Boo! Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies, A Little Something stamp set Bundle!

Added a Black Glimmer paper "BOO!" to my Square Pillow Box!  This is from the Boo to You framelits dies, page 49 of the Stampin'Up! Holiday Catalog.  This can be purchased by itself for $25 or as part of a bundle with the Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set, same page, saving you 15%!  Fun products in this Holiday catty! So many to play with and create with!

Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies, A Little Something stamp set Bundle!

Both of these products can be purchased separately or as a bundle, saving you 15%  My box is Tangleo Twist cardstock, stamped with the spiders from the A Little Something stamp set.  The pumpkins are die cut using the included die with the pillow box thinlits.  I put a strip of Window Sheet behind the pumpkins and if you look carefully, you can see some candy inside!  I stamped the tag with another stamp from the A Little Something stamp set.  Added some Washi tape from the 2014-2016 In Color Washi tape, and the die cut pumpkins to the tag, punched with the Note Tag punch, then finished it off with the black Stitched satin ribbon, #138430. The Square Pillow Box die can be used to make treat or gift favors year round.  This box is very easy to assemble and is a great size, perfect even for those jewelry gifts or gift cards!

Awesomely Artistic stamp set

I just had to get this stamp set, just because of the dragon fly! It is Awesomely Artistic, page 125 of the annual catalog. I was inspired by Cynthia Millan, a talented demonstrator from Canada, to try this technique!  Here is her card.

I am going to experiment with different colors, but this is my first attempt and I used Blackberry Bliss on Very Vanilla and a Sahara Sand card base since I had pieces cut for a previous card.  I used 2 of the Circles Collections framelits and the 3/4" circle punch for my circles.  I did a template first with a scrap piece of cardstock that is 4.25" x 5.5".  Did all my stamping and sponging with Blackberry Bliss ink.  Love that color!  The sentiment is from the Remembering Your Birthday stamp set, page 8 of the Stampin'Up! annual catalog.
